-iv 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.

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. & A. Railroad track, also the RUSHIN GIN, in 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. • J We will be in the market for your surplus cottonseed. J. J. & J. L. LASDLEY. Mr. Garfield, the U. S. Fuel Administrator, suggests that each farmer furnish sufficient wood to gin his cotton. We are in the market for cord wood in any quantity. 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.
