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 DALLAS, TEX.
