FARMERS RESPOND TO
MARKETING PUN
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICUL
TURE SAYS THAT FARMERS
ARE COOPERATING IN PLAN.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug.—Commissioner
J. J. Brown of the State Department
of Agriculture declares that farmers
all over Georgia are responding
strongly to thep lan of the Cotton
States Official Advisory Marketing
Board, providing for. the gradual
marketing of thee otton crop.
Under this plan, the farmers of
Georgia and the South are agreeing
to retire every third bale and not to
market more than 20 per cent of their
crop in any one month.
Organization to this end, which is
rapidly being perfected In Georgia un
der the direction of the State Market
Bureau, is already promising of splen
did results. Chairmen have been
chosen in each cotton growing county
and these are securing their canvass
ers in the various militia districts
where the pledges of the farmers are
being rapidly signed.
“The plan adopted," said Mr.
Brown, who is President of the mar
keting board for the whole South,
“Already gives promise of splendid
success. We are not going to permit
the market to be flooded or overstock
ed this fall. Too often have we exper
ienced thef atgl effects of such a mar
ket plan. Through the movements
which the board has adopted and
which I am glad to see ore being car
ried out in Georgia and the other
States, we nre going to hold the mar
keting of the crop to the basis upon
which the supply cai^be most easily
and satisfactorily absorbed, which
will mean that cotton will come near
er to commanding its fair and legiti
mate price. 1
As time goes on there are increas
ing indications that the fuel situation
this fall will be, if anything, worse
than last year.
' The State Department of Agricul
ture urges all farmers who can do so
to prepare against this situation, not
only for themselves, but for their
neighboring communities, by cutting
cord wood and having it ready for de
livery when needed. It looks now as
if every cord of wood that con possi
bly be cut for fall use will be needed.
Undoubtedly there will be a de
mand for cord wood this fall
good price and those who are in a po
sition to do so, shuld tako advantage
of it.
Fronr some sections reports have
reached the Georgia Department of
Agriculture of a purpose to plant
wheat, this fall. But these arc noth
ing like in proportion to what should
be done to meet the necessities of the
situation. The demnnd for food pro

WILL AID LEGALLY COMMITTEE
IN THE INSTRUCTION OF MEN
DRAFTED IN ARMY.
Following his repost to the Gener
al Assembly of the first annual report
of the Georgia Council of Defense,
Governor Dorsey has appointed Judge
Price Gilbert Chairman of the Cen
tral committee of the Georgia Coun
cil, this Committe to direct the activ
ities of the County Councils of De
fense, upon the energies of whom
Georgia’s war record will depend.
An Important department of work
under the Georgia Council is that to
be done by the Legal Committee,
which has its extension in every coun
ty. The purpose of this Committee
is to furnish gratis legal advice to
all men who are drafted in the army.
“Many of these men are without
business or legal experience and abil
ity, and unnecessary loss may befall
them and their families unless they
are properly advised. The Governor
has organized the State into forty-
four districts, conforming to the Sen
atorial districts, and hhs appointed
Legal Committees in each district to
furnish free legal advice to all men
who are called under the draft, be
fore they leave home.” states Judge
Gilbert.
It is not a question of furnishing
this advice when sought. The Com
mittee in every district should make
it their business to see these men
•and explain to. them that they are
prepared to furnish the advice with
out cost, and see to it that the men
avail themselves of it. These-men
are generally young and inexperienc
ed in business affairs, and are not
aware of the needs or possibilities of
legal preparations. Unless they are
advised and their affairs-put in prop
er shape, these men, in a large num
ber of cases, will arrive at camp or
at thefront with their minds troub
led and their spirits undermined on
account of distressing business affairs
at home.”
It should be the obligation of the
Chairmen of County Councils to make
known the existence of tho Legal
Committees as a defense aid, to nil
drafted men in their communities.
'They should have it made known
tc them that legal advice is theirs ab
solutely free, while committeemen
should be impressed with their obliga
tion not o wait until they are sought
out, but that'largely the duty and re
sponsibility rests upon them to seek
out and find thed rafted men and give
to them this valuable aid.
In asking for reports from County
Councils, Judge Gilbert has address
ed thef ollowihg communication to the
Chairmen of Georgia's 152 County
councils.
This communication is being sent
to the County Council in every county
in the state. The State Council of De
fense is thoroughly impressed with
the idea that its State organizations
have not been sufficiently alive to the
responsibilities resting upon the whole
State organization. The organiza
tion, as you are aware, is based upon
the State Council, which appoints the
County Councils, which in turn must
organize the Community Councils
and see that they nre kept organized
and alive. The Community Council
is to be based upon the schools and
there should be a Community Coun
cil wherever there is a school house.
The Community Counicls should
promptly and regularly report to the
To The Farmers
We wish to announce that we are going to
operate this season the BUSBEE GIN on the A. B.

East Vienna. ' ‘ \ '
We are installing new machinery with a view
to handling you cotton quickly and to the best
advantage. Both gins will be ready for operation
as soon as the season opens.
We are prepared to serve you and solicit your
patronage through the coming season.

County Councils. The County Coun
cils should digest thqse reports and
report the substance of them to the
State Council) which in turn will re
port the facts to the National Coun
cil at Washington.
None of the Councils, State, Comi
ty or Community, are worth any
thing to the Government unless there
are clear and satisfactory reports on
file. In no other way can the Gov
ernment be aware of the existence
of subordinate councils. It is im
possible for any-of the councils to do
effective work without being in con
stant touch with thes ystem. Pa
triotism by independent action is in
effective, and while desirable in its
way, it is wholly lacking in the de
gree of effectiveness which the na
tion, in its present crisis, demands
and should receive.
In an effort, therefore, to get at
the exact situation and to get us all
in touch with one another, you are
requested to report to the State Coun
cil of Defense, replies to the follow
ing inquiries. Please make your re
plies promptly, as delays will necessi
tate further correspondence, with
the expense incident thereto.
First. Has your County Council
been formally organized? Is its full
membership actively participating?
Second. How many meetings have
been held by it?
Third. How many community
councils have you organized?
Fourth. What national campaigns
have your Council and tho Commu
nity Councils of your county actively
supported?
Fifth. How many reports have
you sent in to the State Council of
Defense?
Sixth. How many speakers have
you utilized in the various campaigns?
■ Seventh. Give any other informa
tion in regard to your County Coun
cil which you deem advisable.
If the present General Assembly
appropriates a sufficient sum, a Field
worker will doubtless bo appointed,
who will visit the various Counties to
assist local Councils. At present,
however, we have no funds to author
ize this. Theresponsibility roust rest
upon the County Councils.
