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 - - ■ - — *- L ■ L aside and b o. XT'*- •Sw' 1 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. \ 07 jp-r 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. Monday, ocTonrn JRE Other Interesting North east Georgia News.
