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.

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.

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.
