NO BENEFIT IN NEW
TARIFF FOR FARMERS
In Opinion of Commissioner of Agri
culture Talmadge.
Atlanta, Ga.—Southern farmers
will receive no relief from the Re
publican tariff bill recently passed,
rather it adds to the already heavy
economic burden of Southern agri
culture, Eugene Talmadge, Commis
sioner of Agriculture, declares, add
ing that the new law creates a con
dition that can not last long.
“The cotton farmer of the South
buys in the highest market in the
world,” says Mr. Talmadge, “and
the present tariff law makes that
market higher. Then he must sell
his products in the lowest market
in the world, because he comes in
competition with peon labor, earn
ing from ten to twenty cents a day.
This condition can’t last long.”
“Campaign promises made farm
ers the past thirty years have just
about put the farmers out of busi
ness,” he declares.
“While the Republican party prom
ised tariff relief to the farmers of
the country, the law President Hoo
ver signed a few days ago fails to
grant relief to cotton. We wanted a
high duty on jute, which displaced
three million bales of cotton, but this
we were refused. No duty was
placed on vegetables which come
from the Philippines.
“A few of the many items affected
by the bill are: The duty on corn
was raised from fifteen cents a bush
el to twenty-five cents a bushel.
The duty on oats was raised. The
duty on rough rice -was raised. The
duty on dried cherries was raised
from two cents a pound to six cents
a pound. The duty on maraschino
cherries was placed at nine and a
half cents a pound and a forty per
cent advalorem. The duty had been
only an advalorem. So there won’t
be many maraschino cherries im
ported into this country for the next
few years. The duty on lemons
was raised one-half cent a pound.
The duty on green peas was raised
from one cent to three cents a
pound. The duty on onions was
raised from one and a half cents a
pound to two and a half cents a
pound. The duty on tomatoes was
raised from one-half cent a pound
to three cents a pound. And last,
but not least, broom corn was tak
en from the free list and placed at
twenty dollars a ton. Look out!
Your brooms are going to cost you
more, as are whist brooms, brushes,
etc. You better wring some broom
sage this fall before the frost hits
it,” says Mr. Talmadge.
COUNTY ROAD FUNDS
TO BE REPAID
Preparations Made to Advance Pay
ments from Time to Time.
The state highway department will
make preparations to reimburse coun
ties which have advanced money from
time to time for construction of state
aid roads, it has been announced.
According to figures compiled by
Tom Wisdom, state auditor, the de
partment now owes such counties a
total of $19,705,570. The largest in
debtedness to any one county is to
Chatham, which is due $1,270,323.
It will be the policy of the highway
department to refund this money at
the time the present system of high
ways is completed and before that
time, if possible, by annual payments.
These payments would be set aside
at the rate of 10 per cent of the an
nual revenue of the department,
which would make it possible to com
plete all payments within 10 years.

AIRPLANE FATALITIES
DOUBLED IN 1928
Statistics Reveal 437 Deaths That
Year Against 219 in 1927.
Airplane fatalities, while not large
in number, are on the increase in the
United States, the death total in 1928
being more than double that of 1927,
according to the May issue of the
Statistical Bulletin of the Metropoli

The bulletin notes that, according
to government reports, 473 fatilities
occurred in the death registration
area covering all but two states in
1928, compared with 214 in 1927, the
death rate increased from 0,2 per
100,000 population in 1927 to 0.4.
In California alone the number of
deaths increased from 27 in 1927 to
95 in 1928, with a death rate in

GEORGIA’S PROGRESS IS
CITED IN NEW HANDBOOK
Georgia Power Co. Compiles State’s
Industrial Adavntages.
One of the most complete and at
tractive summaries of’ Georgia’s in
dustrial advantages and its recent ,
progress that has ever been compiled
has just been issued by the Georgia
Power Company under the title, “In- 1
dustrial Georgia,” combining a hand- '
book of information with the 1930 i
year book of the company and its
affiliated concerns.
Beautifully bound and profusely 1
illustrated with photographs of re
cent developments, the book presents .
an interesting appearance to the
reader who wants to see material 1
evidence of the state’s growth. In
addition it has an exhaustive fund of ]
information that apparently answers ,
any and all questions in the minds
of persons unacquainted with Geor
gia’s resources.
In its 102 pages may be found a i
resume of practically everything ,
Georgia has to offer the manufactur
er from other sections. Beginning 1
with a preface entitled “Georgia I
and the New Industrial Opportunity,” j
the book sets form in logical order ,
such various convincing points as
Georgia’s richness in raw materials;
its excellent labor, cheap power, 1
tax advantages, climate, strategic ■
location and buying power.
An important chapter is that de- 1
voted to agriculture, called Georgia’s
basic industry, in which statistics i
showing growth of diversified farm
ing are included. Mineral deposits,
particularly the vast kaolin fields of
middle Georgia, are treated in the i
second chapter, and forest products ;
come next. Transportation, mar
keting conditions, adequate labor,
water supply and principal cities are :
. other portions of the first part of the
book, dealing with more general
matters.
In the second section a wealth of
! statistics are used to show what par
| ticular advantages Georgia offers to
, certain industries. Among them,
’ textile, paper and pulp, ceramics,
1 furniture, marble and other miner
t als, rubber tires and aircraft.
Maps and diagrams showing re
| sources and comparative shipping
costs are numerous. A handsome
: colored drawing of the 400,000-
- horse-power steam plant now being
- built by the company on the Chatta
’ hoochee river is the frontispiece, fol
’ lowed by many striking aerial views
■ of principal Georgia textile mills,
| | big buildings, power developments
, and down-town centers, together
with views of other industries and
5 of various Georgia agricultural har
i vests.
i Many tables showing freight rates,
, power rates and the developments
’ carried through by the power com
-1 pany are to be found in this last
, h^lf.
The book will form the basis for
| new knowledge of Georgia in the
| j northern industrial centers.
Chevrolet Company Holds
Sales Training Schools
What has been termed the great
est sales training school in the his
tory of the automobile industry—a
series of five meetings conducted
( over a period of ten days in each of
12,000 Chevrolet retail stores in the
United States, and attended by 24,-
000 salesmen—has just been com
pleted by the Chevrolet Motor Com
[ pany,
So successful were the meetings
that Chevrolet office official# are
1 considering making the “school” an
' annual affair. In practically every
instance Chevrolet dealers reported
their complete sales personnel in at
tendance at each meeting, and in ad
-1 dition the office and service staffs
requested and were given permission
> to attend the sessions. In all, it is
estimated that an average of 40,000
r sales, office and service employees in
Chevrolet retail stores attended each
: of the five meetings. Increased sell
- ing efficiency by their present staffs
and the addition of many salesmen
to their organizations are expected
■ by many dealers as a result of the
■ “school.”
The thought behind the school was
the belief that most automobile
’ salesmen possess only the theory of
" selling and usually are forced to un
dergo long experience and overcome
many difficulties before they are
able to furnish prospective buyers
with a fully satisfactory exposition
» of the car’s features. The school
would immediately put the salesmen
in possession of the experiences and
methods of the most successful men
in the industry.
All phases of the meetings were
worked out and the materials pre
pared by tho central office of the
Chevrolet Motor Company. Holding
the School was optional with each
dealer, but practically the entire
Chevrolet dealer organization re
sponded.
One of the features of the meet
ings was the use of motion pictures
of the “still” type in presenting -the
subject of each session. In all, five
films were used. The most novel of
these was the one entitled “Mr. Lil
liputian Sells a Chevrolet.” It de
picted a salesman explaining the fea
tures of the car to a prospect. Both
figures were so reduced in size and
the car’s parts so enlarged that the
men crawled into the cylinders to in
spect the pistons; into the transmis
sion and differential to discuss the
gears; jumped, in diving suits, into
the oil-filled crankcase to examine
the crankshaft, oil pump and bear
ings, and perched on the .instrument
panel controls, spark plugs, steer- j
ing wheel, shifting lever and other ;
parts while these were being ex-1
plained to the purchaser. Many; •
dealers have asked permission to j
retain the film for future use in j
training’salesmen end illustrating the;
1 ar’s advantages io prospective buy

25 MILLIONS LOST IN
STOCK FRAUDS IN 1930
Public Mulcted by Hundreds of Buck
etshop Operators.
New York.—The public lost ap
proximately $25,000,000 to bucket
shop operators and dealers in fraud
ulent securities in this state in the
first five months of this year, of
which $1,482,500 was recovered by
the state authorities through the
courts, according to a report submit
ted by assistant Attorney General
Watson Washburn, in charge of the
state bureau of securities, to Attor
ney General Hamilton Ward.
The $25,000,000 mulcted from the
public, according to the report, was
obtained by 333 corporations, indi
viduals and partnerships, against
whom ninety-two temporary and final
injunctions were obtained in the
supreme court. The $1,482,500 was
recovered by receivers appointed by
the courts as a result of legal action
instituted by Mr. Washburn and his
assistants.
Mr. Washburn in his report says
that in the five months eight actions
were begun involving stocks listed on
the New York Stock Exchange. This
was the first time in the history of
the bureau that such actions were
instituted.
Mr. Washburn pointed out that in
addition to the recovery of the
almost $1,500,000 millions of dollars
have been saved for the public by
repeated warnings against investing
in doubtful securities.
Plant diseases rob the American
people of some $1,500,000,000 an
nually.
LIGHTNING HITS TWICE
IN THE SAME SPOT
Old Theory Exploded by Elements
in Florida City.
Avon Park, Fla. —They say light
ning doesn’t strike twice in the
same place—but it does. And Uncle
Sam knows it—now.
Lightning struck the feed barn
and shed of the Field Artillery arm
ory here Friday, killing two valuable
horses, and fire destroyed the feed
room and part of the shed—leaving
an identical picture to what was
left after lightning struck the feed
room approximately one year ago.
The loss was estimated by Fire
Chief McCarthy at $3,000.
Chief McCarthy says this bolt
must have hit the identical spot struck
by the one a year ago.
Whether the government will
move the location of the barn and
feed room when it rebuilds, or take
a chance on the old site again is be
ing watched for with interest.
A PROFITABLE VACATION.
Every Town in Georgia, with a Dozen
Boys and a Masonic Lodge, Can
Go After the Proverbs Prizes.
Next to the salvation of his soul,
the most important thing in a young
man’s life is the ambition to attain
financial independence.
It (s hard to realize that there
could be compassed into a Vest
Pocket Size, a code of morals—and
a platform of Economic business
Ethics that once acquired, might go
a long way to accomplish both.
A strong belief in this faith led
the Grand Lodge of Masons of Geor
gia to sponsor the Proverbs Circle
movement, that in a few months has
spread over the state like a prairie
fire.
Any Masonic Lodge in Georgia
can qualify by appointing a Proverbs
Committee of three, and providing
the local prizes of Ten Dollars,
Pocket Copies of Proverbs with dis
play bulletin posters, and full direc
tions will be furnished free on re
quest from the Lodge to A. G. Miller,
Secretary, Masonic Temple, Macon,
Georgia.
Rules for the contest are on the
book covers. It requires ten boys
ages 9 to 19 to enter for the three
prizes of $5, $3, $2, for best 100
word paper on “How Proverbs Can
Help Me Make My Life a Success.”
These papers are to be in the hands
of the local committee by July 30th.
Two local winners can enter for
the Grand Prizes of SSO, $25, $lO,
in all $200.00 offered by the Grand
Lodge, open until September 15th.
Apply to the Secretary of your
Masonic Lodge for further informa
tion.

SOLDIERS’ HOME BILL
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
Provide* for Branch of Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
Washington, D. C.—President Hoo
ver has signed the Fletcher bill to
authorize $2,000,000 for a branch of
the national home for disabled sol
diers in one of the southern states.
Under the bill the board of man
agers of the national home is to se
lect the site which is to be acquired
either by purchase or donation. The
measure did not specify in which
of the states it would be located.
Senator Fletcher, democrat, Flori
da, author of the bill, and Repre
sentatives Ruth Bryan Owen, Drane
and Green, democrats, Florida, said
they would make every effort to have
the branch located in their state.
Originally the bill provided for the
establishment of the branch bill in
Florida, but it was amended before
final congressional action.
Poor Mules Mean Poor Cotton
By E. C. Westbrook, Extension
Agronomist, Georgia State
College of Agriculture.
Did you ever notice that the farm
ers with the finest looking mules
usually had the finest looking cotton,
corn and other crops? The mules
are well fed and the crops are well
fed. Did you ever notice that the
farmers who had to buy feed usual
ly have poorly fed mules and under
fed, low yielding cotton and other
crops?
There are examples like these in
every community. The farmer who
grows plenty of food and feed, feeds
his animals well and they in return
give him maximum dividends. He
has money with which to buy enough
fertilizer to feed his crops well, and
they respond by giving good yields,
thereby giving the greatest chance
for profit.
The outlook for a good crop of
corn in Georgia is very promising.
Much of the corn, however, has
had very little fertilizer. Our ex
periments have shown and the ex
perience of leading farmers has dem
onstrated that a side dressing of
100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda,
or other quick acting nitrogen, will
increase corn yields from 5 to 20
bushels per acre, if it is applied when
the corn is about waist high. It is a
mighty good year to grow all the
corn you can.
The farmer who spends enough
money for plant food rarely ever
has to spend money for mule feed.
The man who has to buy feed usual
ly has underfed mules and poorly
fed crops. The cotton crop, poorly
fed, can not produce a profit large
enough to feed the entire farm.
There is a great deal of late and
backward cotton now that would be
greatly benefited by a side dressing
of «itrate of soda or other quick
acting nitrogen.
The love of money is also the root
of all industry,—Publishers’ Syndi
