H. G. Hasting, president of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, an
nounces that Thursday, November
15th will be Georgia 'Products Day
this year and urges that the people
of Georgia celebrate the day as never
before! Georgia' Products Day waa
inaugurated to stimulate the produc
tion of food and feed stuffs in Geor
gia, to offset the coming of the boll
weevil; and the production of food
and feed is primarily the first. war
measure at this time, for it is believed
that the winning of the war depends
on the matter of food for oar allies
our'soldiers, as well as our people.
Georgia Products Day ia celebrated
by the holding of public dinners in all
cities and towns of the State and this
November marks the fifth annual
event'in Georgia. It ia urged that
the menu’s be simple ones, consisting
of fruits, vegetables and grains most
ly, in view of the very earnest de
sire to conserve the meat supply of
our country. However, Georgia pro
duces abundantly of these products,
as well a4 ’possum, rabbit, fowl, etc.,
that would go to make up the meat
course on a Georgia Products dinner.

Don’t forget that tha farmer in mar
keting his crops is a salesman is
sorely a* the “traveling man’’ of
commerce. The drummer must cre
ate a good impression because he is
the merchants' visualization of the
company he represents. If the sales
man appears frank, honest, efficient,
and progressive, the met chant as
sumes that he reflects the spirit o
his concern.
Ana tnese things apply to the farm-
marketer just as sorely. When he
offers his butts-, milk, or sausage to
the city man, the would-be buyer by
looking at the farmer sees either a
hanitary or an unsanitary dairy house,
a herd of well-kept or a herd of neg
lected cows, a clean or a dirty pig pen
etc. That is to aay, the representa
tive of the fann creates for it an im
pression either good or bad.
The farmer should take pains
therefore to see that the person who
represents his farm makes a good im
pression. If the fanner doeahis own
marketing, care should be taken to
present a clean and wholesome ap
pearance ; and if the marketing is done
by hired help, the matter of the hired
man's appearance deserves -just as
much attention. “I quit taking milk
from Mr. So-and-so,” said a city man
today, “because the Negro he sent
with it was so dirty.”
We do not mean that the farmer
should dress expensively, but we do
inean that in going to market he
should wear a clean suit, shirt, and
collar, a neat tie, have his shoes clean
at least, and shined if practicable,
and he cleanly shaved. The suit he
wears may be of some dark color
that will not show dirt easily, and if
not pressed, it may at least be kept
thoroughly brushed The Progress
