A Thought For The Day
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not
his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is
not in him.—1 John 2:4.
The finest ami noblest ground on which people
can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on
which nothing is assumed.—Emerson.
• prosperity on the farms in Turner county on a practi
cal . and permanent basis, and this is what must bo
., done on every farm if the state is going to continue
to progress for the, future.
$cre are the significant items—that are worth
considering. Athens, it is estimated, consumes an
nually half a million dollars worth of poultry pro-
dtn,'(: ; , and it is doubtful if $80,000.00 worth of this
sura is produced in the nearby trade territory of the
city. Why not keep this money at home, circulating
in trade the year round, and remaining permanently
in thd bank deposit figures of this section?
How much money would you say Georgia sends out
of the state anntmlly to pay for its buttor bill? Some
estimate it as much ns the state gets for its cotton
crop. Recent figures show that Georgia last year
prcftiuced 979,000 pounds of creamery butter, while
tho state of Minnesota produced over 170 times as
miiih, viz., 170 million pounds. These figures indi-
that way out for both our fnrms and for our
i. The Chamber of Commerce can do no better
’ice for Athens at this, time than to help bring
iperity to tho farms in this section.
and
GETTING BUSY
ialf of August is gone and in n few weeks Athens
its trade territory will be in the midst of a busy
prosperous fall season. In addition to the quick-
jg in the business world that tho fall season and
thc^gathering of the crops make all over the country,
this mobilizing at the same time of the vast school
iirrtly of the Nation, makes its influence felt not only
in the home but in the retail stores of the country.
Getting the children ready for school is generally a
i rush order in most households something like the last
minute Xmus-shopping. It’s got to be done and it is
putoff to the last moment. It might be a good thing
now while the,thought is uppermost to take time by
thc'‘forclock and to get ready now to prepare for the
opening of the schools. Just a few weeks must be
done.
Already hundreds of families who have been away
for„the summer arc returning home, and this, too,
Ricans a buiy.time—getting the house ready, getting
cleaned up, gutting ready perhaps to make needed
repairs and to have the fall painting done. In many
directions the next 60 days are important—and the
ides of running through most of these activities is
one of getting ready—one of hope—getting in shape
to do the bigger and larger and more important work
of Hfe and of the ccming season. Vacation days, loaf-
| ing days, easy days of the year, are almost over. Fall
f and Winter with their demands of business are al-
ready making their presence felt by intimations, by
sut&estions, by little stirrings all over the nation, that
it if high time to get ready—to get ready for what is
to co me in the way of harvesting the crops, in the
way of renewed school activities, in the way of a
quickening of the business of the country.
The peanut industry will be a source of one of
theTgreatest revenues in this section next year.
The fall season is near at hand and, yet no action

PROSPERITY ON THE FARMS MEANS PROS
PERITY FOR THE TOWNS
The Banner-Herald is glad to note the interest of
both farmers and merchants in co-operative move
ment. 'hat iooks first to the greater prosperity of the
farms around Athens, and ‘eventually to a larger
bumness between the city and the country. And on
this line, it is well to remember that Athens must
i first buy or furnish a ready cash market for all the
products the surrounding territory can raise, before
Athens can sell other things to this same territory.
Under the old one-crop cotton system Athens de
veloped a great cotton market, with every facility for
financing, handling, storing and selling cotton. While
cotton will continue to he'raised in this section, yet
under boll weevil conditions, we are confident that
less cotton will be raised, while on the other hand,
m of eland more corn and hay and peas, peanuts, vel
vet-beans, poultry, eggs, butter, milk, hogs and cat
tle, will be coming to Athens for market. After the
, local demand for these products has been satisfied,
Athens must be prepared to handle, ship, sell, and
finSnte the surplus of such crops for the farms of
this territory. This is the big problem that is facing
ouf people—marketing facilities, and Athens must
do *hor share in providing such facilities for the fu
ture.
Other parts of the states are taking up the market
ing^ problems, and today we see co-operative market
ing; associations being formed to market cotton,
peaches, watermelons, apples from North Georgia,
. cage kyrup, peanuts and pecans. Plans arc under way
to extend these co-operative marketing associations
to Include Itve stock, cattle and hogs, and also pout
«try-iind eggs.
