f THE BANKS AND THE FARMERS
re is being much raid and written in the press
state regarding the attitude of the hanks to-
the farmcr. Some argue that the banks should
i finance the farmer taking a lien on his crop and car
rying-his note until the fall or after the crop has
been? harvested. In some cases the bank can afford
to dttso just as they can afford to make advances to
commercial and' manufacturing interests but it must
not be expected of the banks to undertake to finance
every farmer unless that farmer has some tangible
security which will enable him to meet his obliga
tion® Jf the doors of the bank are thrown open
Irrespective of the soundness and safety of the bor
row# then it could not be expected that banks would
continue in business. There must be a reasonable •
amount of security before any bank or merchant can
afford to loan money or se.U goods -xp,;.time. The
banker and the merchant afe depetitftfrit upon their
customers for support. If their money is loaned out
and their goods are sold gn a credit and the farmer
faiistto make a crop and his resources are exhausted
otherwise, there is little hope of him meeting his ob
ligations which then carries the case back to the
hanker and the merchant and the responsibility of
indebtedness of the farmer rests upon these two
f source* to satisfy ahd make good to thq stock
holders of the bank and to the wholesaler or manu
facturer by the merchant. In Athens, at least, the
bankers have co-operated with the farmer to the ex
tent nf his ability and responsibility to pay. When
that has been done nothing, more should be expected
of tho ’bankeS He has gone as far aa sound, sane
and conservative banking will permit, and under the
invvgjof Georgia, he is not allowed to do more.
A-spirit of co-open tion has prevailed in this sec
tion and we believe that the banker is the friend of
the farmer as wpll as of the merchant and manufac
turer. - .
" FARMER DELEGATIONS INCREASE Wf - s
- The delegations of farmers from Ore various coun
ties in the state to the state college of agriculture are 1
growing in importance each year. Already, this "year
there has been several hundred fanners to visit this, i
instiution from many counties in the' state .which is an,
indication of the growing popularity of this college. 1
ami of the wonderful amount of service it ift ronder-
ihg t« the farmers of Georgia.
The delegation here Tuesday from Madison coun
ty shtwed a great revival in the feeling and/ interest
among the farmers who are seeking advice and in
formation for the betterment of agricultural pursuits.
A fojy years ago Jthe farmers of Georgia did not
realixe what they had at this institution for their
own tlse, if they so desired. Now they have awakened
to its-importance and to the fountain head of ngri-
cuitiffal training and demonstration they are coming
in gi-eat numbers to drink of its information.
I)r. Soule has brought to the farmers of Georgia
n resolution in production and value of crops. He
and his staff have taught them how to diversify and
instead of raising a single crop each year he has
taught them to raise a crop each month in the year
which is profitable and finds a ready market.
Tim people of Athens through their commercial
and civic bodies should show- the greatest interest 1
in the coming of the farmers to Athens and'make the
been jona n dfay of recreation and learning for the
farmers. It is worth the while for our business men
and aim-chants to become better acquainted with
the farmers of Georgia and especially those in ad-
jace rrt and nearby counties. Help to.give them a
hearty-welcome and show ypur absolute cooperation
withAhe college authorities by takin’gfa'd#y off frpm
busii®3» and devote it to the entertainment and
pleasure of the visitors. I'i'l

Its fragrance is perfuming
The lovely countryside;

With beauty much extolled,

The golden rod is glowing,
And ,it is fine to see,
Ahd gentle winds are blowing
The xcent of It to me;

Speeding Is always dangerous,
bolli to drivers and to pen'estrlnas.
It Is resiionsililo for a large pro
portion of fatal automobile acci-
deuts. Many auth&riticg claim it is
greatest cause.
f hirtV-fivd miles on hour may bo
safo out In tho desert, while 16
lullcs on hour' may be dangerous
on Main street.
Tho driver of a speeding car can
not control his machine should an
emergency arise—and accidents
arc never expected. '
There *is nlway« the liability of
collision with another car.
Pc/sotis crossing tho street do
not get sufficient warning.
The car may -skid and overturn,
particularly on slippery pavements.
Most of the dare-devils who
thrill the public with their stunts on
the speedways are among the most
cautious drivers while on the
streets. “Drive slowly, you might
mr.-t a fool.” is a warning which
might properly be changed to read
“Drive slowly,* two fools might
meet!”
Don’t Forget the Signals.
The driver behind you Is not i
mind reader; he governs his ac
tions by your signals. If you neg
lect them, a colllzlcn may result.
Signals are not merely acts of
cJurtedr; they are absolutely nec-

The extensive construction pro-

Tho greater part of the invest

Why Not Shorten
Kitchen Hours?
by Sweet Rose
*-r*.*’»
I N MY opinion the housed
Wife is entitled to shorter
working hours at well as
the woman in the office.
There’i no sense in kitchen
drudgery when it'i not nec
essary. You can give your
family good,* substantial hot
food and still' have plenty,
of time “outaide” the
kitchen. _ '
If you could save : haif your
time in the kitchen for rest
or more pleasant work, and
still be able to give your
folks the hot biscuits and
other delicious bakings Which
they are used to, you’d,be
glad to do it, wouldn’t you?
It’s so easy. Just learn to
do your baking with'Sweet
Rose Self-Rising Flour. The
time you save by eliminat
ing costly mistakes, guessing
at proportions, measuring
and muting, will give you
those extra precious momenta
for yourself. J
