I THE GREAT PEACE It is now “after the war” again and how splendid it is that this, the most terrible page in the world’s history can be turned over and a new sheet, clean and unsullied upon which, let us hope, no record of war and its attepd- ing horrors may ever be inscribed, is stow open to us. As we look back up on the events that have transpired during the last four years and partic ularly in the pertod of time that we as a nation have had a part in the groit war, it seems almost incredible, that so many and such great things havp been accomplished in so short a time. It is true that in carrying out the war program mistakes have been made, sonie unwillingly, others thro’ design, but on'the whole the coopera tion of individuals and organizations in supporting the great project has been indeed marvelous.

Tne fact that Europe will need meat for years to come is likely' to make it a profitable business for a Icng time, and in this operation, the producer of the feeder hog gets the long end of the raone^r, ds we in tha com belt have (300 land high priced labor and also feed the weather to some extent. 'Another point which, if I lived in the South’, would be occupying my attention right now, is the demand which will undoubtedly exist 4 for brood sows in Europe at the close of the war for from no other animal can they get eatable meat and fat in eight months. I see no reason why the people of Georgia should not make the com belt feel competition all the way from the farrowing pen to the block.

At this meeting, which wap one of I the moat enthusiastic and largely at- I tended theh oard has ever held, reso lutions were adopted unanimously de claring that the recent break in cot- Iton was wholly unjustified, and.

It should bs generally under stood that this is a permanent order and conformity to it must be made universal. It is gratifying to note that the great majority of people who formerly indulged freely ip this, prac tice are obeying the order inplicitiy. It it therefore just that those who are not should be encouraged to do so by coercion. lera were 25,059 bales of cotton, counting round as half bales, ginned in Dooly county, from the crop of 1918 prior to October 18, 1918, as compared with 27,439 bales ginned prior to October 18.1117. ton urged not to sell a single pound of cotton, util it reaches 35 cents or more, because it has been found that the average cost of making this years crop throughout the cotton belt was in excess of 35 cents. Responsibility for the drop in the cotton market was put upon the war industries board; and in a separate resolution is was demanded that the war industries board be dissolved im mediately upon the declaration of an armistice in Europe. President' Brown, who presided, cordially favored the resolution adopt ed, speaking in their behalf; and stat ed at the conclusion of the meeting his firm belief that its action would result in a holding movement through out the south, that will soon bring to thep roducer a just and fair price for thes topic. While cotton occupied most of the time and attention of the marketing board, the meeting did not overlook reaches a price which will cover the I the important situation in the peanut cost of production plus a reasonable [market to which the Georgia State profit.

Following the refusal of the Geor gia Food Administration to remove the restrictions governing the market ing of peanuts, the matter has been taken up with the food administration at Washington; and the marketing Board at the instance of Director L. B. Jackson of the Georgia Market Bu reau, appointed a committee which includes, in addition to himself, Com- miasoners of Agriculture J. A. Wade, of Alabama, W. A. McRae, of Flori da and Fred W. Davis, of Texas, to go to Washington to present the matter to the food administrator there. Already the effect of the activity of the Georgia market bureau has been felt in the receipt from Norfolk, Vir ginia, of an offer for peanuts to net thep roducer approximately $110 per ton, f. o. b. shipping point. The quan tity desired, however, is limited.
