WHATONE GEORGIA RAILROAD IS DOING
The Central of Georgia Railway is not only one of
the best-railroad properties in the country, but it is
, also efficiently operated. At its head are execu
tives of virion and-it is safe to say that few roads in
with the public it serves.
During the recent depression, in agriculture,
caused by the ravages of the boll weevil, here are
some of the things fhis road has done to help the far- x
mers along its lines:
The Central spent $40,000 for the purchase of
purebred cattle and hogs which were distributed as
prizes to Boys’ Clubs, with the twofold result of en
couraging the young people and distributing high-
. class sires, with consequent improvement in the
grade of livestock. In woevil-invaded sections, the
growing of tobacco, peanuts and other money crops
was aided, to bridge over the lean years while the
farmer Was learning to grow cotton under boll
weevil conditions. Test farms were established to
try out the methods advocated by agricultural col
leges. ~-Farm tours through the West, the construc
tion of correctly designed potato warehouses, distri
bution of good seed and other activities of like na
ture have been carried on.
The main endeavor «f the Central’s agricultural
department at present is the establishment of per
manent pastures, so as to lessen the production cost
of meat, pork and milk. Results of this worlf show
a grazing period extending over more than nine
months and a grazing capacity of 50 per cent in ex
cess of the average in other sections.
The general agricultural agent of the Central has
just added to his staff of four field men, a horticul
tural, agent, who will specialize in work with the
growem of peaches, pecans ahd apples, and whose
services maybe secured upon application to the com
pany.
Other railroads in’ Georgia and throughout the
rest of the Southern States are also doing splendid
constructive and co-operative work along these
lines. At the same time, the Central of Georgia has
apparently done either better work or perhaps got
ten closer to the public it serves than any of the
other roads.
IMPORTANCE OF THE COTTON CROP
The depredations of the~boIl weevil are beginning to
make the entire country realize the importance of the
Southern Cotton crop. An. "Associated Press dis-
E atch from Washington sayB the South is regarded
y the Department of Agriculture as holding the
key to the American agricultural situation, in which
a -spirit of “moderate optimism" prevails, according
to the monthly review recently completed.
. “If continental Europe WaieiitaUy cota down pur
chases of our Wheat and pork this year,” . the de-
S artment says, tcotton may become wonefbing of,a
df crop. I^eil Informed men consider that mother
billion dollar cash crop in the cotton belt would go
a long way to offset a-fatting European market for
wheat and meat The south is optimistic and plain
ly intends to plant more cotton.” 1
The South can increase the acreage planted in
cotton and still be within bounds. There was a
much smaller acreage planted last year compara
tively speaking, than there baa been for a long num
ber of years. And that is Why the price, is now as
high as it is. If we could make a big crop and get
a price for it, that would be the wise thing to do.
But experience has demonstrated that it is utterly
impractical to do that except, upder extraordinary
conditions. '
The more cotton you make the less you get for it.
If the Southern farmers will pursue a policy of di
versifying their crops and make cotton a surplus
.crop, their problems will be solved. The farmer
must be sustained, and in order to do so, corn,
wheat, oats and legumes must be planted and live
stock must be raised. For the farmers to go wild at
this stage of the game and return to the alt-cotton
plan would be fatal to their interests.
Egyptian style craze will be a flash in the pan, of
;du “ “
short duration. Women .quickly will become “fed
up" on King Tut fashions and novelties. This is the
opinion of Richard F. Bach, expert on industrial art,
other experts disagree with him. They predict a long
run of popularity for Egyptian styles. H Bach is
right, somebody will lose a lot of money now being
staked on the belief that Americans will go Egypt-
crazy. The most fickle thing in life is fashion. The
industries based on styles are highly hazardous. To
succeed in them requires an exceptional type of
gVnitu. The style make* are playtnfc'fbr big stakes
in gambling on King Tut’s influence in 1923 and
later.
Dq you remember the famous old poem, “The
Face on the Barroom Floor?” HughAntonie d’Arcy,
its author, ie given a banquet by actors in New York,
on hit eightieth birthday. D’Arcy wrote this rough-
hewen classic to induce bartenders to be kind to
aged men who had seen better days.' In other words,
hobo bar flies. He did not dream that his poem would
become a powerful piece of propaganda in the pro-
hibition movement D’Arcy waa a dynamic influence
