In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a mo ment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee.—Isa. 54:7, 8. As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun’ pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.—Schiller. A MUNICIPAL AVIATION FJF.LD Athens and Clarke county should co-oncrate in the movement to provide an aviation field for the ptririic and for commercial tourists travel. In practically every citv in the country there is located an aviation field where Aeronautic tourists can camp. This ■ass of travel is growing popular and in a few years Will be as common as the travel by automobiles, i'here are many flying schools scattered throughout Bie country and flyers arc being graduated rapidly. — Private parties have provided a field near Athtyis, but the upkeep emounts to something and as such an enterprise is purely for the benefit 1 of the commun- |y it should lie provided by the county and city. I he cost for keeping such a field in condition would s nominal; it would be a splendid advertisement ir Athens and its location would be broadcasted iroughout the nation and all flyers traveling in this irection would from time to time stop over in Athens. . ,, , . .. | While it may seem an advanced thougnt yet the fime is coming when aviation fields will be as com mon as Tin-Can tourist camps. The cities provided HHth such accommodations will secure the flyers and become known throughout the country as an up- fo-date and modern place. mA flying school under the direction of the Chamber m Commerce, would prove a most valuable adjunct » the city’s educational institutions and, no doubt, .. _iany of the boys and girls attending college here "i 1 ouid take a course in flying. In nearby years ma rines will be in general commercial use and ex- erienced operators will be in demand and at good ilaries. The county and city officials will make no listake in joining in a movement for the establish- lent of an aviation field in this city. TRUCK GROWING IN THIS SECTION The inauguration of the curb market has demon rated to the satisfaction of all that truck farming in his section can be made a profitable business. Our jirmers and truck farmers, especially, should diver- Ify and be prepared to furnish the people of Athens lith vegetables of some kind every month in the .{£ar. There arc many other products from the farm which will find ready market at profitable prices Airing the winter months, as much so as vegetables during the spring and winter months; sweet poatoes Bfish potatoes, dried apples and peaches, canned opods of nil kinds, fruits and vegetables, poultry, Sfegs, butter and cured hams, shoulders and aides. The market cun be attractive for the farmer the whole year and there is no reason why the curb mar ket should not be operated every month during the The farmer in this section hin lived from the sales side lines of products during the past six months, is crop is surplus and conditions are better with ie farmer this year than at any time since the war. Much of the foodstuffs sold at the curb market has ffiretoforc gone to waste on the farms. It was sur mising to most of the farmers who dealt with the curb market to find that there was a ready sale for all products offered und each week finds increased mimbers from this section. The curb market has Ijfeen a boon to the truck grower and farmer and it is Ijflieved that next year they will assemble their pro duce here and from Athens will be shipped carload after carload of cabbage, tomatoes, turnips, beans ,d other country produce. When this has been ought about our people will be independent and is will be the most prosperous section in > the state. * GLOWING PROSPECTS IN THIS SECTION ’ j* The Commerce News last week produced a full » ge relating to the agricultural conditions in this :tion of 1 the state. The statistics were compiled by lprescntatives of the News at the request of Editor Cannon. The information furnished was from lers and was given in a concise and absolutely {liable manner. These‘men were requested to jmish in their opinion the exact condition of crops ithout the least color or tinge to discredit or to best. Of eighteen representative farmers it was ■own that a larger crop of cotton to the acreage, ■>uld be made this year than during the past iree years. Other crops showed like condition, »rn, oats, hay, peanuts, rye, barley, potatoes and unusually large increase in poultry and live stock, f " With this showing in this section, the fall trade tilth our merchants will be more than anticipated and . if is believed that it would be wise for the merchants tii increase their orders for merchandise. The | stocks here are sold down and unless increased or- jfers are placed now, the merchants will not have % sufficient stocks to take care of the demand. A new I jDa fa u P or > ua and normalcy is near at hand. Every firmer you meet is encouraged and determined to Harvest one of the best crops he has had since the war. Cotton will bring a good price and all farm products will be in demand. The farmer is coming info his own and the most prosperous people among us will be those engaged in agricultural pursuits. -Editor Shannon, pf the Commerce News, struck. <m a timely and wise thought in sotiridfng the senti- nu.ni of tin 1 farmers in this section on conditions and the information ho has broadcasted through the News will bear results throughout the state.
