Kiwanian 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 fT early" next”" Te7 to THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1925. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1925. ..

For no man travels twice, the Great Highway That winds through darkness up to light Through night, To Day. —OXENIIAM. * * * 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 FINE!

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, A contes t was arranged in the Co iiseum between a Chevrolet and Keith LJoydj cousin 0 f Harold Lloyd, Lloyd is the champion sprinter i Pe jt b j j 0 j* ^ be University of Southern Cali fornia.

THE HALL KIWANIAN TIRE MAN 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 Number 6.
