ABOUT A GOVERNOR
Editor Brown, of the Cordele
Disipatch, says Georgia should
‘draft some level-headed business
man and make him governor.
That's the reason the Savannah
Press thought that Dr. Hardman,
of Commerce, might appeal to the
people.~—Savannah Press.
~ But if Dr. Hardman isn't able to
take hold of the situation and upturn
the whole political program as it is
set today, he will never be governor.
That wil) be true regardless of -his
qualifications as a successful business
man. (N
. However, that doesn't keep us trom
wanting ‘o see some good business
man weed out root and seed of the
type of politics we now have in Geor
gia. 'We have great hopes of our
home state—~know it is full of good
‘men, and our loyalty leads us to fight
tor a good man for governor. We have
no specials, mo debts to pay, no axe
to grind, no political program we want
to put through. We simply want a
man who “fands high eénongh to grace
the office and ml_ it with good sefise

The 'politiciang usually run thhis.?
They have their sails all set. They
know what they are going to under

able to upturn all that, not in the
one camp alone, but in all camps, he
isn't going to be governor. And yet
this state could have no better man.

" BUILDING PROGRESS ~
If building is any sign of prosperity,
the people of Cordele should be great
l,vf} encouraged. Not in years have
lh@re been so many buildings going
up at one time and so many improve
ments being made. All over town
the sound of the carpenter's hammer
is heard. Long needed new porches
and larger porches which were not
needed are being added. People seem
to be willing now to indulge in lux
uriegs and improve with an idea of
beautifying their permises, whereas
they have been only having the es
'sentials, This is a certain sign that
Ipoople are prosperous when building
and painting is going on to the ex
tent that it is now in Cordele. There
are at least a dozen new homes justi
completed, four new till_(n( stations
added in the last few months, another
under construction, and as many
more homes that have been repaint
ed or improved within the past few
months. Cordele has not enjoyed such
an enrg of activity along building lines
in many a day. Prosperity and the
new Woman's Civic Club together
must have had wonderful effect on
}qhe improvement of Cordele which is
evident every where,
Cordele is no mean city now. The

SOMETHING UNUSUAL
We saw a batch of some thirty
checks that looked like they were
good for the cash today that repre.
zented a return of money to that
many dirt farmers In this community
from a fund they had put up with
the Georgia Cooperative Cotton Mar
keting Assoclation for the purchase of
this year's supply of fertilizer. It
represented the money that was left
over after the supply of fertilizers had
been purchased and delivered,
The three-ton buyer got his ferti
lizer at a lower price than the average
dealer paid—and he got back a check
that amounted to nearly ten percent
on his investment after the goods
were delivered. The association
bought a great amount and paid cash
for it. It gave the members the ad
vantage of that purchasing power. It
took the cash to make the deal go,
but what a saving. One of the Crisp
county buyers had bought $3,193
worth of fertilizer. His return in
cash this morning amounted to $243
.50 after the deal was closed ang the
fertilizer delivered in time for the
crops this year,
There were many surprises in this
thing for us. First, wa didn't know
that many farmers in this community
kn,eil,‘how,‘ to: effect such a saving.
And this is but & small number of
them. There are more coming. Next,
we didn't know that the real worth
while farmer, had gone:inthig, diree
tion 'to take care of his own hulunossl
affairs—we didn't' know that many of
them hag taken the time to figure it
out and make the saving. Then we
didn’t know that the cooperative mar
keting association was doing such a
buginess, \
~ There are some changes in farm
llng income due on this sort of busi
ness management., When the farmer
learns that his fertilizer bill, his mule
bill, and the marketing of his crop are
the high spots in his own buslnesy
apd should be attended to by himself,
he, iB, going to have a better income.
When he learns that his cooperative
‘marketing organization is xol,ng‘evexi.-
tually to be his strongest mainstay in
the safeguarding of a -higher average
price fo‘f Ifis crops, thfen he is not go
lng*‘to waltfor semebody to take him
by the coat tail and pull.him into the
rdnks ag a member. He will be there
before sun up ir the morning reo?dy
to sign up and cocperate.
The day is here, if we understand
the situagion, when organization andf
cooperation is the only thing that can
offer relief. That's true because ev
erything else is organized. The farm
er must control the price of his prod
uct when it goes to market. He must
do that in lean years and in fat. He
goeg into the market and buys noth
ing now that is not regulated in price
through some organization that has
teeth in it. He must likewise sell
through an organization and buy
through an organization that has real
teeth.
The sooner he learns that, the bet.

WHAT ABOUT THE SURPLUS?
B. H. Hibbard, in The Progressive
Farmer, !
The best way to deal with a sur
plus is to prevent it. This cannot be
done wholly. It can Ibe done to a
great extent. Cooperative companies
can spread sales over:a whole year
instead of selling too ' early. Thig
takes care of the seasonal surplus.
Freight adjustments may be of great
help in taking care of local or region
al surplses, Beyond these there are
surpluses of many of the leading
commodities which, so far as can be
seen, must be sold in the world’s
markets. However, organized selling
should be able to sell at the most
advantageous time amd place, and so
do much better tham unorganized
selling can do. Finally, the inequality
brought about by high tariffs on!
manufactured goods, protection tol
labor through immigration laws
should be reorganized as a contrary
to the best interests of agriculture
It would seem that the time had
come to look into the tariff sched
ules anew in order to do pustice to
all parties—and the farmer is one of
those parties,

The Los Angeles Times 'says that
liquor has been sold. to visitors
aboard the cruiser Hamburg, Ger
many’s first war craft to visit the
Pacific coast since 1914,
The newspaper describes W. W.
Anderson, assistant prohibition ad

ago at San Pedro and obtained evi-:
dence in the form of bottled beer‘

tions,” while the beer has been
locked in the federal vaults here.
" “QOur men had no trouble obtain--
ing the beer,” Anderson is quoted
as having said. “Theiftonly difficulty
was to evade the mob that swarmed.
about the ship’s canteen, and to find
an officer who would sell to them.
This they did, paying sl~a bottle.
