FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
4
Next week is fire prevention week, an occasion
which is observed throughout the nation. In every
hamlet, town and city fire prevention week is made
a special occasion in the communities. The schools,
civic and comihercial bodies interest themselves in
■this national affair in an effort to build up a senti
ment and educate the people how to prevent fires.
President Coolidge, by proclamation, has caused

the Nation’s fire losses show an increase
diminishing. In 1922 the national fire loss was ap
proximated 15,000 lives and §500,000,000 property.
It is said that this is the largest fire losses since
1906, the year of the "Frisco” fire.
Now that the Chamber of Commerce and the Ath
ens Insurance Exchange have undertaken to inau
gurate a program for next week for the encourage
ment of the school children and the public to make
the occasion b success, every citizen should lend
their aid in the movement and join with other citi
zens in the program for the educating and interest-
‘ing cur people in the practice of preventing fires
not only during the special week but duriilg every
day of the year.
THE PECAN INDUSTRY
Pceanii have been raised successfully In this sec
tion of the state and it has been proved that the
pecan crop is bne of much value. Those engaged 1n
raising pecans should commence now to protect
against the caterpillar next year. If this pest is per
mitted to remain in the leaves of the trees they are
bound to multiply and come back stronger next year
than ever before. The Cordele Dispatch in speak
ing of the treatment of the pecan tree has this to say
of the caterpillar:
‘.‘Once more this word to the pecan grower—you
ought to take time to burn out the caterpillars. This
can be done with a rag on the end of a fishing pole
saturated with kerosene. To remove the nests now
means more pecans next year—or to be more exact
in expression, to allow them to remain means de
struction of the pecan crop of next year."
The Dispatch is timely in its advice and, if fol
lowed by the pecan growers a larger and better
crop will be the. result another year.
In this section of the state, the pecan industry has
not been developed as extensively as it should be.
There is a market for every pound raised and at a
profitable price. Our people, however, are coming
to the system of diversification in all agricultural
pursuits—that is everything which can be grown or
raised on the farm. Pecans, peanuts, poultry, eggs
and butter, all of which are rendy money crops and
supplement for the one-time important crop—cotton.
& Our people have gotten away from the one-crop
plan of farming and now every month in the year
is harvesting time. It is different and it is more
profitable since farming has been made a business
and conducted on a business basis.

DAIRYING A REASSURING MOVEMENT
South Georgia seems to be going into the business
of dairying on a great scale. Every newspaper that
one Ticks up has something in it pertaining to the
growing industry of dairying. Big dairy herds are
multiplying and small farmers with only a few cows
are doubling up. There is money in a carefully man
aged dairy business, not only on account of the sale
of the milk products, but from the continued en
richment of the soil that must result. Speaking of
the growth 'of the daily business, the Cordele Dis
patch of recent date says: -
One local farmer is bringing in twenty-five cattle
to put on tenant places which have heretofore tried
it on the all-cotton program. Others are bringing
— ,?n cattle and beginning the dairy program which
eventually must save Crisp county farms. It is the
most satisfying, reassuring movement we have the
opportunity to watch. Before 1924 is gone Crisp
county will own over five thousand dairy cows.
The farmer that has a paying dairy business has
something to fall back upon in case of failure of the
cotton crop. And he has something to make certain
a cotton crop as well as to reduce his guano bill by
continually adding to the fertility of the soil. An
other thing, nis cows will require the growing of
food and forage crops which wHl then pay him as
well or better than cotton. So that he can make one
crop work for another. Meantime the natural in
crease in the herd is going on all the time, while the
land is becoming more valuable. It pays to plant as
much cotton as you can work intensively, but no
more. The day fer planting all cotton is gone for
ever.
