People generally are expecting a good fall and _ winter business. All signs point to such a conclusion. I Local merchants report summer business as being ttn- I usually good and well ahead of last year s figures. Among some of the signs indicating a good business —• this fall and winter may be noted: Industry, generally, is busy. Pig-iron production, always considered a business | barometer, continues strong. | Railroads are still heavy buyers of rails, cquip- f ment and materials. Railroad earnings are looking b up and rail workers want more pay. Various rail- f road questions are duo for a congressional launder- I in* . Automobile production still ramps ahead.. City construction already contracted for will last [ weH into next year. There are very few. unemployed persons in the ; country. So far as busy workers indicate prosperity ; to the fanners, the situation is quite favorable. The stock/market, the usual index of prosperity, has had a. number of spectacular failures and stock prices are down. Seasoned observers say the fail ures were due to individual weakness rather than to public 'causes. When depression impends capi talists rush to buy bonds. No such activity is dis cernible. Jg Money is.plentiful, bankers agree. In the farming field— The wheat; price shotdd mend, but offers little hope of substantial permanent improvement. The world waits eagerly for the flew cotton crop. Corn prices are up and promise to remain so. In regard to crops and prices the Secretary of Ag riculture in a recent report says that out of 33 farm products only six are below the previous level. These arc barley, rye, hay, hogs, horses and timothy seed. Wool, Cotton and broom corn top his list. They all arc shown bringing more than twice the pre-war [rice. Some of his other computations are: Cotton seed, 197jper cent of the pre-war; apples,. 178 per cent; lambs, 170; chickens, 1G6; butter, 163; flax seed, 144; peanuts, 140; sheep, 135; buckwheat, 130; corn and eggs, 125. ' Of this list of higher prices products, it 1s encour aging to note that this year the South will raise moro cotton, more chickens, more butter, more peanuts, more corn and eggs, than ever before. The country generally and the South especially ought to be large ly prosperous this fall add winter. Already there are indications of a quickening of business activity in all lines of trade. CAN A GEORGlk COUNTV LIVE ON SUCH A RATION 7 From a recent survey made by the Agricultural College of Georgia counties we take as an illustra tion Columbia county, where some effort has been made in dairying. A study of the figures of Columbia county show some interesting results. Columbia is reported with a population of 13,551, farms 1914, operated by owners, 509, by managers 10, tenants 1395. A'survey of the live stock of Columbia county shows, horses and mules 2636, beef cattle 1657, dairy cattle 2884, hogs 8052, chickens 30,324. What Columbia county is doing in the way of Tais- ing food for its live stock population is shown in the following figures. -No consideration is taken in this calculation of the food for chickens. The figures show that Columbia raises less than 17 bushels of corn, less than one bushel of oats, and about one- half a ton of hay per year per head to feed its livo Htock population. The rest of the food necessary to maintain the life of its live stock must be picked up from scanty native pastures or bought elsewhere and imported into the county. With such a show ing it is no wonder that both the live stock as well as the human population is poor and underfed. _ Columbia county certainly needs more feed for its live stock on such a showing, and this feed ought to be raised a| home and within its own hordes. It would be a mistake for thp county as a whole to en deavor to increase its live stock without first mak ing preparations to increase the supply of its home grown feed. Otherwise the county will find itself in the fix of Farmer Weems Smith, that was told in The Banner-Herald a day or so ago, with more hogs than he has feed for them. There is no doubt hut that Columbia county ought ' have more live stock for in terms of 1,006 popu- tion the county has 200 horses and mules. 123 beef cattle, 211 dairy cattle. 600 hogs,, and 2250 ^.chickens. This is certainly a meager allowance of HIVe stock per thousand population and it means that ■frost quantities of foods must be shipped into Co lumbia county from the outside each year to supply 1 food to its human population, as well as for the live stock population. The condition of Columbia county is about on an average with other counties in this section and later The Kanner-HeraJd will present the figures of other counties so that comparison with Columbia may be made as te what this section is doing in raising live stock and in the feeds that are necessary for their- proper care and keep.

A Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything. By HUGH ROWE. Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania has been dele gated by President Coolidge as an ambassador to ccttf* the differences between the coal oper ators and miners in order tu pre vent a strike. It may be depended that Governor Pinchot will direct matters so as to avoid any serious trouble from a strike. He has the backbone and nerve to stand up for the rights of the people and forco the disturbing element of the operators and miners into line and cause their bickerings to cease. It has grown to bo an annual occur rence—just an the winter ap proaches for these strike threats to be made In order for tho opera tors to raise the price of coal and tho miners to raise th rt ir pay.*Leg islation should bo passed by con gress governing and controlling Charles L.
