FIRST COTTON BLOOM
SPLENDID MEETING HELD AT REYNOLDS TUESDAY NIGHT
ONE OF SF.HTF.S CONDUCTED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF
GEORGIA PEACH GROWEERS EXCHANGE THRU
THE GREAT PEACH BELT.
Some optimism is shown for the
peach growers of this section to real
ize fair returns on their later crops
provided they will adhere strictly to
the plans outlined by the Georgia
Peach Growers Exchange and their
representatives, and intelligently
present in get-to-gether meetings
that are being held daily through
out the peach belt of the State.
One of the most enthusiastic
meetings of this nature, of the se.
ries being held, was the one at Rey
nolds Tuesday night at the school
auditorium, which was well filled
with peach growers and others more
or less interested in the peach in
dustry throughout the county and
adjoining sections.
Hon. C. H. Neisler was chairman
of the meeting. After explaining the
purpose of call presented Mr. J. L.
Benton, president of the. Georgia
Peach Growers Association; Mr. J.
G. Carlisle, manager of the Ex
change, Messrs J. T. Dregan and
Lawrence Gentile, representatives of
the Federal Friut and Vegetable
Growers, Inc., and Messrs Gentile
Bros., selling agents for the Ex
change, each of whom made able
speeches outlining marketing condi
tions in the North and East and urg
ing co-operation of all growers to
stop shipping small and inferior
peaches.
These gentlemen Were insistent that
the cut of tonnage by increasing the
cull piles will have to be general to
accomplish results. By cutting deep
ly there will be a profit for all, they
stated, but a failure to cull closer
than has been done means for the
growers of this section a great loss.
With the aid of the United States
government it was shown that great
er distribution has been obtained
this year than eved before in. the
history of the Georgia peach indus
try. For the first time the early
varieties had been put into Canada
as well as in Cuba, it was stated,
and to many other points untouched
even in the'latter part of the season.
However the unsatisfactory returns
from these shipments has been the
result of the marketing of small
fruit which must be stopped'.
Following the address, of these
gentlemen at the Reynolds meeting
Tuesday night a resolution was of
fered and unanimously adopted by
the growers present to not ship
peaches of a size that would not
measure 1% inches in diamater. If
the growers will not .conform to this
action, they themselver will be the
losers, for the small fruit will not
bring shipping charges and the grow
ers will be billed for freight charg
es.

There are approximately 14,000
people in Taylor county. Multiply
that number by six, or even four or
two, and we have the number of
hours of free time or leisure time
of our people,—time in which we are
not working or sleeping, and in
which we seek amusement or recrea
tion, or self-improvement, uncon
trolled by the employer, by custom-
I ers, or by clientele, as the case naFfr*
be.
Increasingly have the people more
leisure time, due to laborr saving'
devices and economic evolution. A
new day has been created in mod-!
em life. What are we doing with
that new day? Are these leisure
hours being capitalized for personal
. efficiency, for community develop-
J ment, for a more generous and chari-
l table mode of living, or they being
allowed to drift toward mere jne-.
chanical amusement, or in the paths
of least resistence which unfortun-
[ ately often leads to unhappiness, l
(disease and delinquency? t
i Leisure time is important because
it is the only' time that . is really
ours. It is then we do what we
, want to do and not what we have
I to do. Leisure hours may become
either character-building hours or
character-destroying hours. Statistics
show that most crimes are commit
ted, not during work time but in lei
sure time. This is something to think
about. No community can afford to
let these thousands of hours be
wasted in indirected and unsponsor
ed activities. For the -good of all,
it. is important that methods «may
be devised and appeals can be made
to everyone, especially the young,
that these little daily margin's of
time are of great value. |
The mis-use of leisure time is a
greater evil than the non-use: Em
ployers of labor declare that the
young man who has spent the even

GEORGIA HAS GREAT COMMERCE FUTURE, SAYS EXPERT
Savannah, June 2L—Declaring Georgia can well pride her
self on the remarkable record she has made in foreign commerce.
Harry O. Mitchell, south Atlantic representative of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, in an address prepared for delive
ry before the annual convention of the Georgia Manufacturers’as
sociation in session at Savannah recently, predicted that the future
for Georgia in the field of foreign commerce should place her as
one of the leaders in that field.
At the present Mr. Mitchell declared, with exports valued at
more than seventeen and a half million dollars, Georgia stands
fifteenth in the country in exports covering the first quarter of
1924, and third in cotton shipments abroad, valued at more than
fourteen million dollars. In naval stores, Georgia led the entire
country with exports valued at $1,647,000. Her exports of manu
factured cotton goods totaled $688,000; of logs, timber add sawed
lumber, $352,000; of manufactures of wood, $176,000; of cotton
gins and parts, $25,000, and a variety, of manufactured products
and other commodities valued at over half a million dollars.
“In the Southeast, Georgia stood second during this period,”
Mr. Mitchell continued, “being surpassed only by North Carolina,
whose exports were greater by $1,374,000 than Georgia’s-
“The total water borne commerce of the ports of Savannah
andv Brunswick combined reaches the amazing total of $429,020,863
—almost a half billion dollars. This includes both imports and ex
ports as well as coastwise traffic. The nearest approach to this
figure, among southeastern ports is ’ Jacksonville, with a total of
$115,242,299. Following in order are Charleston, with $100,129,-
689; Mobile, with $84,977,824; Wilmington, with $57,624,916; Tam
pa with $45,247,237, and Pensacola with $25,147,843.
“Georgia received the same stimulus to increased production
in proportion to the num
ber and size of the fac
tories, as did other sections
of the country, when the de
mands of war drafted both
the man-power and the in
dustries of the nation. A
vast expansion in machinery
and personnel was made
necessary, and the return to
peace has found us with
much of this surplus equip
ment, representing a huge
investment in money anc-
training, on hand, and in
many lines, greater than is
needed to filll domestic re
quirements. Already the
saturation point has been
reached in many industries,
and employers are forced to
lay off valuable help and
operate their mills on part
time or shut down alto
gether. The solution of this
problem is the development
of active foreign markets
thai yrilj absorb surplus
production. _
“It is said that the South
is coming into own in for
eign trade really for the
first time. Of course, there
has been a large export
movement of raw materials
and food stuffs from this
section, but it is only with
in comparatively recent
years that industry in the
South has taken on a
character approximately that
of highly developed indus
trial centers elsewhere . . .
You all know of the great
strides that have been made
in shifting the balance of
industry among the cotton
mills of New England to
Georgia, the Carolinas and
Alabama .,. . . Remarkable
development has taken place
in' our Southern ports with
in recent years •. .
“As individual firms be
come interested in world
markets, the ' strength of
Georgia as a great export
ing state will be increased.
Many of our larger manu
facturers have already es
tablished foreign depart
ments with skilled export
managers, while smaller
firms . are availing them-
sTves of the numerous ex
port agencies and other aids
at their command.
“Foreign trade is not any
more a mystery than do
mestic trade. Selling your
goods in California does not
entail much greater difficul
ty than marketing them in
Cuba or Argentina. An ob
servance of certain technical
regulations which each coun
try sets up is about all that
is required, aside from a
few general considerations that can be easily mastered within a
brief time by any intelligent business man. And all of this in
formation can be obtained from the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce in Washington or through one of its district of
fices, of which there are nine located in strategic commercial cen
ters throughout the country.”
Mr. Mitchell in concluding his address promised the aid of
hs department in "every possible way” to help the manufacturer
who desires to operate in foreign markets.

Kind Words.
Duly Appreciated
Words of encouragement as ex-,
pressed in a letter from Captain J.
N. Steed, which we take the liberty
of publishing below, are sincerely
appreciated. Mr. Steed, a former
Taylor County man, is one of the
most popular passenger train con
ductors on the Central railroad.
The Herald is making an earnest
effort to be of the greatest possible
service to this section by letting the
resources of Taylor county, and the
possibilities for its future develop
ment be known to the outside world.
That Captain Steed recognizes this
fact and gives' expression to same
as have many others is very grati
fying to the Herald.
Capt. Steed writes as follows:
