YEAR’S FINANCING OF FEED AND SEED IS
NEED OF DROUGHT-STRICKEN COUNTIES
A plan for financing the purchase
of large quantities of corn, hay and
other stock feed and rye, oats and
wheat for seed is the present need
of the forty-one drought-stricken
counties of Northeast Georgia.
A method of purchasing large
quantities at the usual prices charged
for big lots and on long term credit
wil! bring our people through all
right,” declared John N. Holder,
highway commissioner and farmer, in
an interview in “The Week.”
A plan suggested unofficially
looks to the raising of pledges of
money in the more prosperous sec¬
tions of the State, the pledges to
become due next September or Oc¬
tober. The pledges would be used
to underwrite the purchase of stock
feed and seed by the drought suffer¬
ers. This plan would allow them a
year within which to raise crops and
pay for the seed and feed. Only
enough of the pledges would be col
lected neJtt year to meet any def
icits resulting from failure or inabil
ity of some farmers to pay. No pub
lie agency as yet has adopted the
plan.
Letters from civic organizations
and individuals have reacned the
Governor’s office from various
South Georgia points, tendering corn,
hay arid other food. The letters des
cribe agricultural success in the lower
sectio nof the State this year and
tell of the willingness of the people
to assist their less fortunate fellow
Georgians.
None of the communications men
tion price; it is merely inquired
through what agency shall tfye relief
measures be taken. In the absence of
Governor Walker in Cuba, the let¬
ters are being turned over to rep¬
resentatives of the Red Cross who
are fnllnwintr the situation
is ellningitfeU ^71 special roTd
construction program under way,
Chairman Holder views as greater the
needs of the coming few months.
‘ All possibilities of self-help should
be co-ordinated, handled through
some central agency,” he said. “As
a matter of course the employment
that can be °f f ere( l in road building
’ s n °t f?°' n K to reach to all the farm
People, nor is it going to feed
all the live stock on the farms in 41
counties. It is only going to help.
“Timber needs to be cut, where
there is timber to cut. The demand
for wood for Winter use is imminent,
That is work to keep the farmers
on u ’ the farms. Then, the time is-about
ripe—as soon as it rains—for plant
ing the fall and winter crops. Oats
rye and wheat should be gotten into
the ground as soon as possible. I
am preparing on my place to put
them in just as soon as conditions
are Proper, and that condition is
hound to come pretty shortly now.
Immediately there is a fall of frost
we ou f?ht to get in our wheat.
.
! Some method whereby large quan
tities of corn can be secured—corij
hay and feed stuff for the stock—
an£ l distributed among the farmers
' n the drought area; and a suffi¬
cient quantity of seed oats, rye and
wheat; and on long time credit, say
payable next October, November, and
at prices about equal to the pur
chase price in large bulk quantities
—that’s the aid which will put all
middle and upper Georgia farmers
back on their feet- Correlate that
, kind of aid with the opportunities to
get a little work in addition to the
time put in on the farms and those
folks are going to come through fine.
“That’s in line with the idea which
Mr. Arthur DeLaPerriere, chairman
of the board of county commissioners
of Jackson county is working. He has

But once I pass this way

The Silent Door swings on its hinges,
Opens, closes and no more

So, while 1 may

Beautiful, isn’t it? And what a creed for Kiwanis! “So,
while I may with all my might, I will essay sweet com¬
fort and delight.”
While 1 may!
No man knows how long he “may.” It may be for
years; it may be for but a few hours. The Angel of
Death flies upon silent wings, and few see him approach.
Tomorrow may be too late. It is the now, this instant,
only, in which it is given us to “essay sweet comfort and
delight”. This moment we know is ours; the little link
connecting the gone-forever past, with the unknown fu
tre; this link is ours, to do with as we will. We can use
it to comfort our fellow Kiwanian, to help him along, to
advise him, cheer him, bring him “delight.” Or we can
devote it to other and more selfish purposes.
But we cannot be sure that those we meet “upon the
Pilgrim way” will he there tomorrow for us to greet.
We know, all of us, that “but once I pass this way” . .
. it may he that “but once” is our only opportunity.
And when, indeed, we shall have climbed the heights,
and passed the winding road for all its length through
darkness into the day that endeth not, it is promised that
the “sweet comfort and delight” we gave to those we
met upon the path, shall come back to us, each and all,
many fold.—Kiwanis Magazine. l

CHEVROLET SPEED
The fleetness of a human grey¬
hound” recently failed to beat an au¬
I tomobile in 100-yard dash from
a a
standing start at the Los Angeles
Coliseum,
A half-dozen four-cylinder cars of
different makes had been given ac¬
celeration tests in 100-yard dashes.
The best time was made by a Chevro
i e t. Each car ran eight sprints over
the distance and the results were
averaged. The average time made by
the Chevrolet was 10.73 seconds.
The other averages were: 11:13
seconds; 11:10 seconds; 11:28 see
onds; 11:58 seconds and 12.54 sec
onds. The cars which ran second and
third were considerable higher in
price than the Chevrolet,
After the tests, the question arose
as to the relative “pick-up” of the
au t om obile and the human sprinter,

Georgia s Coastal Packing Industry Gains Impetus
From Opening of Natural Oyster Beds To Dredging
“The opening up of some of Geor
gia’s natural oyster beds to dredging,
which we are now preparing to do, is
to mean, in my opinion, an ever
expansion and development in
coastal packing enterprise than
have had in the past year,” says
Commissioner R. W.
of Darien, in an interview
“The Week.”
. r There has been a big development
the fisheries business along Geor
coast , during , • the past year, at- ,
more largely to the new
laws than anything else,
yet those enterprises, both old
new, have experienced the inevi
result of properly marketing a
quality of prawn especially
we have had for many years.
U Truth is, there have been
in our waters this year than
enterprises could handle, and
has come about through enforce
of a protective law during the
season. Mississippi has
] tbem cheaper than some of
Georgia product has been o{ .
but a comparison has shown
prawn taken from our waters
year are far superior, and the
thing is proving true, upon ex
with the Georgia oyster.
“Heretofore it has been unlawful
dredge for oysters, but we are go
to open up some of the natural
in the next few weeks, and that
give a considerable impetus to
business.
“One of the things which has
impressed me, aside from the
spirit o f co-operation
the packers with the state, is
fact that a number of packing
and dealers have come
Georgia from Florida territory,
they are all doing well. When
within a year
under the new regulations, and the
fairly easy handling of the product
1 on the market is so much cncourag
j np: the packers, it is not out of the
line of reason to forecast a much
greater development and expansion
j n another year.
j „ 0 Inc of , t striking f features of
the uture prospect of Georgia _ s
coastal enterprise is in the fact that
packers pacKers have nave found lounci out out that mat oysters oysters
takt>n fr0m Ge0rgla Waters are CT1 "
tirely free from pollution, and there
wlll never be , to , their business that ,, ,
danger which has menaced the en
terprise in some other waters -a ter
j-jffjc slump in business through a
trade stampede following trouble
| f rom their packs,
r I , have pretty ,, carefully , ,, into . .
gone
a survey 0 f the trade situation, and
find that there is now a constantly
increasing demand for both prawn
an( j oysters from Georgia waters,
attributable in large measure to the
spread of a general knowledge of
bot h the water conditions and the
rather rigid sanitary regulations im
posed in this state—and well obeyed
— j n handling the goods.
_
great deal has been said in
^ be p agb t W o or three years about
the potential possibilities of Georgia’s
undeveloped oyster and fishery en
terprise. It has not been exaggerated,
As an off-hand proposition I would
say> even under our new laws, which
will bring a pretty constant increase
in these lines for the next several
years, we have not yet even well
scratched the surface, and in less
than five years from today we are
going to find a coastal enterprise
four or five times as great as it is
today. Those of us who are connected
with and interested in the develop
ment of this business along Geor
, , , justifiable
pride in what has been done the past

conditions are so much better for the

; waters, that business is turning from

<*We are to have a meeting at Da

week, among the packers and state
! f ks h department officials for the pur
pose of going even further into a
program of co-operation and deveiop
ment, and I expect much good to
come from that meeting for the on¬
suing season.
“Up to this time Georgia has not
appreciated just what the oyster and
fishery business means to the state,
and not until a year ago has the
business, probably, appreciated just
what the state means to them, but
since the two ends are now being
so well brought together, I am going
to venture the assertion that in the
coming few years this enterprise is
going to be one which will carry a
reputation for Georgia all over the
country, and bring to the state it
self a very great benefit.”
