THE 1 LIMA BEAN CROP
More attention should be given to the growing of
...na beans in this section. This bean crop matures
earlier in Georgia than does the crop in California
and besides a considerable saving to the consumer
n account of the long freight haul. California,
.jeans do not come into the market until about the
middle of this month while the Georgia crop is
gathered in September. This year, in South Geor-
- via the yield per acre averaged over 1,100 pounds
and brought a price of 11 cents. The California
beans sell usually for practically the , same price
but with the freight added. The Georgia product
is just as good a bean and just as cheap. Besides
every dollar spent for home raised beans _ means
that much to the pockets of the farmers and to the
tills <Sf the merchants. . ...
Commencing the new year, every fanner should
ir set aside several acres for the specific purpose of
»egrowing lima beans. A ready money market at a
profitable price awaits everyone who produces
beans. If you have not grown lima beans, try out
a few acres next year and you will reap a harvest
from your efforts.
. COMMUNITY FAIRS ARE POPULAR
" A representative committee of citizens from civic
fraternal organizations appeared before the
; mayor and council Monday evening and requested
’ their co-operation in the holding of a community
' fair—that is a fair made up of several small copi-
■fearrinnit.v fairs all of which it is said will make up a
I most creditable exhibit, in speaking of consulidav-
inK community fairs the Vidalia Advance has the
following to say:
.r f ,, “Under the direction of the home demon-
li _ rtyntion agent of Toombs county, five splendid
ir . community fairs have been held in the county
thi- fall. These fairs were very creditable and ,
the best of the exhibits will be exhibited at the
county fair in Lyons next week. We believe
community fa'irs. are worth-while undertakings.
If wo can get the people of a community work
ing together, better schools, better roads, bet
ter and happier living conditions are bound to
follow. The way the communities of Tootrfbs
county are coming together is one of the bright
. .signs for,the future.”
If Toombs county can make a success of this
character of fairs, certainly Clarke county can with
its college of agriculture as a nucleus to commence
on. The bringing together of the proposed com
munity fairs should pave the way for a real agri
cultural fair here next year. It will bo a good be
ginning and encourage the fanner and the chil
dren in the rural districts to take more interest in
the canning, corn and pig clubs which has been of
so much benefit to the state during the past few
years. /■ W <iCT||!W«r
If the project is matured, every citizen should
lend his or her aid and use every effort to make ,
she occasion a successful and profitable undertak-

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF IMPROVED
CONDITIONS IN ITS TERRITORY
Improved conditions in the territory served by the Central of Georgia Railway-
- Company are strikingly reflected in the increased traffic handled by the road. >
The Central of Georgia Railway Company ahowed an increase in freight business 1
for 1922. Freight traffic (measured by the 'number of tons of freight carried, on*
mile) increased only 9K per cent for all of tho class 1 railroads In 1922 aa compared
to 1921, but'tho Central of Georgia registered an increase of 13 2-3 por cent.
This increase in freight business made possible the Central of Georgia's favorable
showing in total operating revenues for 1922 in tho fsce of the fact that on tha avtr- '
age freight rates were lower than in 1921. The revenue in 1923 for hauling a ton of
freight one mile U 1 9-100 centa, a reduciton of 17.4 per cent from the revenue re
ceived in 1922 which was 1 32-100 cents. Since the firet of this year the traffic of
the Central of Georgia Railway Company, both freight and passenger, has Increased
substantially over that handled for the corresponding period of last year. The num
ber of tons of freight carried one mile by the Central of Georgia Railway Company
for the 7 month* ended July 31, 1923, Was greater by 46 1-3 per cent than the freight
traffic handled in the firet 7 months in 1922. Passenger traffic (measured by the
' number of passengers carried one mile) on the Central of Georgia Railway in tha 7
months ended July 31, 1923, waa greater by 12 7-8 per cent than the passenger tr
handled in the firet 7 months in 1922. Is September, 1922, ere established a -
record for volume of business handled, surpassing the previous peak record ‘in OctoL _
1920. During each month of the past twelve our business has exceeded the high matt
of any preceding year. The Central of Georgia Railway Company enters the fait*,
and winter better prepared than ever before to discharge Its obligations to the public.^.,,
Despite tho growth of passenger and freight traffic in Its territory, the CentrsU. -Qi
of Georgia Railway Company has kept abreast of the situation ao well, through addiJii'Tq
tions and improvements to it* plant and through thc.fplendid co-operation of its em- 1
pioyes and patrons, that this year’s unprecedented business has been handled with ' 1 ^
marked efficiency. One index of efficiency is the "avenge miles per car per day.”
On the Central of Georgia this figure has been more than 30 during the entire past O
year, and in September, the moatn just closed, it reached 36 miles—a record not
equaled by any other railway in this territory, and by few roads 'n the United Statee. . _
“30 miles per csr per day” was fixed by the American Railway Association as tha '
goal of efficient operation to bo reached by the railroads this year. It is a source of 1
no little satisfaction to us that the Central of Georgia has gone beyond this figure,
Tho public should understand that "miles per car per day” does not represent the
actual distance traveled by a freight tar In a trains It takes into account the total '
number of care on the line—those being loaded and unloaded,.those standing at ter-
mlnals and in sidings, even thoee in the shops for repairs. These latter desses over
age more than 67 per cent of the total. As a matter of fact, the average speed of
all freight traini, through and local, on the Central of Georgia in September, 1923,
was 13 miles per hour. y
This exceptional showing speaks for itself.' It Vhnnld be a source at gratitkatioit j
to the patrons as well as to the. employes of the Central of Georgia/Railway-Company.
It represents joint effort and joint success. No small part of tbe credit goes to ship- -
pets and ctasigngep for their prompt loading and unloading of can. U is not alone a -, \
gain for our.reOroad; H is a splendid record for tho territory our railroad servaa. v :
Constructive criticism' and suggestions are'invited.
