Crissinger, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and until recently comptroller of the Currency, gives a sigh of relief that the session of con gress is past and gone, and business will now enjoy a season of rest free from the apprehension of congres sional disturbances. He points out that the congres sional vacation of nine months will tend to stabilize business of all kinds as well as to allow time for re cuperation from the effects of the war and taking a ' sh start He declares that during the long breath- ’spell ahead: —‘.Business can operate without fear of legislative .Aarges being thrust suddenly on it While legisla- ion vital to business, to the railroads and to the bank- >rs is to come up in the new congress, the probabili ties are that it will be more than a year before any jjew laws can be put through, so that business men gve a definite basis on which to lay a program for year at least.” •»; Mr. Crissinger has had his finger on the pulse of business long enough to be able to judge whether or ! not the legislation congress was either putting ithrough, or attempting to put through was judicious >r injudicious. From the way he rejoices at the ad- "jjournment of congress, it is evident that he regards ! Jhe latter as being the cause. With practically a ••whole year in which business can remain undisturbed .jGovfcmor Crissinger’s view does not appear overly optimistic, and we are very much in hope that every thing will turn out according to Governor Crissing- : 'er’s prediction. THE QUESTION ANSWERED An editorial in The Country Gentleman contains me food for thought concerning the problem with ich the South is now confronted. In New England iy are greatly troubled over the loss of the cot manufacturing and other industries which are bming South, the “Live at Home” problems as w*il the cause of much vexation and worry. In thb tide it is pointed out that New England was form- ly a self-supporting farming country, but now it just the reverse, for it is dependent upon other ctlons for its food and feed supplies and also Its id. For a long period of time, the newspapers and gricultural leaders of the south have been preaching the farmers crop diversification and the production . both food and feed stuffs. The wisdom and etonomy of making foodstuffs home is emphasized in the article which sets out t the recent course in transportation partially re- ' the equilibrium between agriculture and in- ., and It applies the well known rules of trade ewise to the farmer, as follows: . “In the street cars the advertisements admon- - Ish us to patronize our neighborhood druggist •.and our own corner grocer. For reasons quite 'i.as cogent the world would be well advised to patronize the local farmer. Reciprocically, it is the part of wisdom for the farmer to seek his ' }{ customers in the nearest market Such a develop- - ment is manifestly to the advantage of both the farmer and his customers." The question is sometimes asked by the farmers “ can we plant that will pay as well or better cotton 7- The answer to this question is that by ing enough of staple food crops and raising igh livestock to make this farm self-sustaining, pu reduce the cotton acreage to that extent The cotton you grow the bigger the price you get for un your farm so that you can always have . thing to sell and give you ready money to pay » Bf wit expenses. Corn, oats, wheat and leguminous well In the South as elsewhere. Jt freighters steam from Petrograd, loaded sussian wheat for Germany. Grain shipments also beginning to come out the other way, from “ia through the Dardanelles. If you’re an lean wheat grower, this is today’s most impor- pews. The bright spot is that Russia probably ake years to get “back in the market’’ on a big Th scale to. affect materially our wheat growers 1 export trade. JncleSam gets after the tax dodgers and in one col ects more than 300 million dollars. Many orations thought that, by hiring cunning book- spers, they could evade taxes. They are learn- they guessed wrongly. At that, the 300 mil- doltars is only a fraction of what has been hid- ... the intricacies of complicated books. Some t (corporations and individuals even keep a special set J doctored books to show the tax man. It is one of lie modern forms of scientific stealing.

H .W. HARVEY, Field Art. Landscape. Dlv. Hort. Ga. Agr. College. HOW TO START A NDT GROVE Athens, Ga., Mar. 12, 1923. Editor of Banner-Herald: In this evening’* paper I read ,an item about grafting English walnut* on to black walnut*. A friend, of mine in California had twentjracre* -which he wanted to plant to walnut*. He called in the county adviser as to which way would be the best way to do. The quickest way 1* to buy tree* and plant tham. But that ia very expansive. In my opinion the best thing for a poor man like yourself -to do is to lay out, your land, mark where you want eadi tree, and plant three or four black walnut*; when they come up pull out the weakest and hud the good one to an English walnut. Those that you pull up you can plant somewhere else if you wish. My friend planted the nuts, and followed the advice and now has a beautiful grove and with almost As quick results as he would have lhaaby the first method. I often wonder if It would not, he a good idea for the farmer* in Shis section to give to their boys and girls a few acres apiece and let them set out pecans, walnuts, or fruit trees. It seems to me that it would give the chlludren something to look forward to, also they would hare an income of their own by the time they were ready for collage. Think it over. Pa'and Ma. —P. B.

LARRY GANTT Mr. 'G. S. Wright, a very pro gressive yoi near Center, , . Thursday and I- jwda, most’infer, csting conversation with him. Mr. Wright owns a splendid farm about 7 tdUss from Athens and about one and a half mils* from Center In Jackson county. Athens is his market. Last year Mr. Wright had • most interesting experience. Af ter his cotton was chopped out a movers hail storm ]/ hd|j*lly destroyed aU the rotten in one of his fields. It was too Isite to plant ovor so Mr. Wright decided to plSnt it in sweet potatoes, plant ing on top of the bed where the cotton had been planted, and which had teen well fertilised. During the summer it was evi dent that he would hake a largt crop of potatoes and ao. during laying by time,” he built a large storage house according to govern ment plans. He built a storage house of 6,000 bushels capacity. When he dug his potato** he found that ha had made something over 300 bushels and stored 3000 bu shels in bis potato house. tMr. Wright thsn began to com municate by latter , with the va rious markets, but be could not get a proper price offend for his ■ tatoes. He finsUy decided that it there was £ market for these nptatoas and that he would go and find the market,. He went to Asheville, N. C„ and, after nego tiating for a day or two, made a contract to s*U Ms potatoes at a dollar a bushel net to him. Mr. Wright carried a sample of his potatoes with him and th* merchants in Asheville were very anxious to secure his potatoes be cause they had been well cured and became they were of th# Porto Rican variety. Mr. Wright says that he sold hie potatoes -Ito wholsssle mer chants at a dollar per tmshel, but that ha afterwards found out that the retail merchants, who had bought his potatoes from the whole salers, were getting $1.76 per, bu shel and they sold readily at that price. FOUND DIFFERENCE IN FBBIGHT BATES. ^ Mr. Wright told me a curious thing in reference to freight rates, are all out of joint. I have not investigated the matter, but if the te« on poattoe* from Center, Ga., is cheaper than it is from Athens, Ga., I hare no doflbt that th* same thing ta true of all other agricul tural products. I think that our truck farmers and our Potato Growers' Associa tion should take this matter up and demand a fair freight rate from Athens. The Chamber of point a special committal whose sole duty it is to investigate the freight rates of Athens and to gel them lowered where they are too There is no rescon in the world why these differences should ex- snd ask that the whole system of freight rates be revised and rate of freight should be fixed ir accordance with the length of the haul. 0..r Parcels Post syctem is on th* sons system and freight rates should be on the s-ime plan. CAN SELL MANY SWEET POTATOES Mr. Wright told me that hi felt satisfied that we could sel in various markets of the coun try all the- sweet potatoes that w< could raise if we only bad a mar keting system and should employ experts and statio > them in tnest various cities for the purpose oi making sales of our sweet pota toes. Said Hr. Wright, “I tee satisfied that I could go to Ash* vllle and then to Cincinnati ant remain in-thes* two citiea durini the selling season and soli ever) potato that can be grown in th< territory around Athens." Mr. Wright has been a large -cotton planter, but, it took tMr calamity of the-kail 'storm to in* due* Mm to try potatoes. He dost not regret tho experience and say: that his potatoes paid him vastl; more than cotton would hive pair him even had he had no bollwee vils. from now on Mr. Wright said ht was .a strong advocate of depart ing from the aU cotton basis.ol farming and planting a diversit; of food crops.' He says it is r groat mistake, for anybody to ad vise the farmers of Georgia U rhls* a million and a half bale of cotton in this state. Tbe statement that has been dr culated so often of late that . million and a half bales of cottoi raised in Georgia would bring bac' prosperity ia a very foolish state ment “When we raised a mil Hon and a half bales under th most favorable conditions," said Mr. Wright, "it did not bring qt prosperity but only poverty.” The great question before ou- termen today,” said Mr. Wright “is not to determine ways ant jnsank of how wa might kUl the boll weevil and raise tbe miilior sod a half bale* of cotton, but th- . question is what are we going U farmer - who lives get for this cotton and how are wr was in ths-elty going to market itf 'We car ref** tan abundance 1 of c tops'’SV over Georgia and wo are not wor rying about that so much as wr are about a proper marketing sys tern and a proper price for these products." from the residence section why can He was amar J to find When bn we not have a park tor the aakslgtarted to ship his potatoes that * the freight rate from Center, Ga, a small town above Athens, to Asheville, N.

O, and to his amass ment he found that tiw freight rata on potato*! from Center, Ga., 88 cents per hundred, but the rat# from Athins to Cincinnati whs much higher. of its beauty without commercial Ulna It The question of a free tourist camp come up for discussion at a meeting of the "Lions' Club" In Camilla. Friday evening. The con census of opinion was that the average tourist wa* n liability rather than an asset. At the begin ning. he asks for a "hand out." Free camp, free water, free llshts, free sanation., free upkeep. The so- called "Tin can tourist" might be called a glorlbed hobo. Hi follow the railroads on he follows the highways a la Ford.
