ATHENS ENGINEERING COMPANY Phone 711 Smith Building shipment of a ham from that hog, in a carload with < • hams, to a Chicago jobber; at boiled ham at eighty centa per pound, what I The editorial then says: i sold at ten cents per poqnd. “Follow up this ham as it started on foot from the farm; follow up the route from Cochran to Moultrie and from Moultrie to Chicago, from Chicago to Macon and from Macon to Cochran, and see hpw much freight was paid on it, and how many people handled it before it got back on the farmer's table at Cochran, and you will find out why there is so much margin between the producer and the consumer, and this applies to many other commodities that the old farmer digs out of the ground by the sweat of his brow and sells sometimes below cost of production, and yet the average farmer i 8 noO willing to organise for better marketing conditions." £9 B CENTRAL OF GEORGIA DISCUSSES MARGIN BETWEEN PRODUCER AND CONSUMER Are freight rates to blame for the fact that the farmer Is not mors prosperous ? This questoin is being asked in many different forms. When inspired by an honest desire for correct information, It is a fair question that deserves careful consideration and a candid answer. The editor of the €ochrai^(Ga.) Journal puts hi* finger on the aore spot when in a recent editorial, he refers* to the “wide margin between the producer and the con sumer.” He tells the story of a Bleckley County farmer who sold a hog for ten cents per pound on foot. He traces its journey to the packing plant at Moultrie, Georgia; the '“lotnerl - m - r . . I , . r _ w , then back to a wholesale grocer in Georgia, who sold It to a rctajl grocer in Cochran; who in turn had it roasted in a baker's oven and finally the original seller bought back " “ ’ * he bads It is interestjng to note the freight rates on thq movement described by the Cochran editor, which are as follows: Cochran to ’Moultrie, Hogs, (carload) 22% cents per hundred pounds; Moultrie to Chicago. Haras, (carload) 94% centa; Chicago to Macon, Hams, (carload) 78% cents; Macon to Cochran. Hams (less than carload) 17 cents; votal $2.12% per hundred pounds, or 2 1*8 cents per pound. s Of the difference of 70 cents per pound between the price received by the producer ( *nd that paid by the consumer, freight rates are responsible therefore for exactly 2 1-8 cento or a shade more than 3 per cent. Something else is responsible for the other 97 per cent of the increase. « 9 .... ln»t*nces might be multiplied, showing a similar state of affairs in other commo dities; all of them going to prove the fact that freight rates are not a governing factor abou * the spread in price between the producer and consumer. Transpor tation rates are not handicapping agriculture. Transportation service is the salva tion of agriculture. The practical and feasible solution of the farmer’s problem is pointed out by the Cochran Journal which says further: . . woa derfuI climates and soils and with natural resources unparal- J? any ® l " er In the Union, Georgia him succumbed to an unbusi- H-n wii. ot farmin * which forces her products on the market pcll- U*,’ njR« r **kclter; every man for himself with the farmer starving at one end and the consumer at the other.’’ j Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

A small but enthusiastic audi ence was privileged to hear last night at Sehey-Stovall Chapel. Lucy Cobb, what must be import-. Liver- 1 ed as one of thd finest song and piano recitals ever given in Ath ene. The artists are wall known to Athens—Kate Blake ilodgaon. so piano, and Hugh Leslie Hodgson, pianist. Though they have fre quentlv appeared here in enjoya ble joint recitals, they have never before attained to those heights of excellence that mark a distin- guished performance of music.. Mr. Hodgson began the program with the Chopin "Fantaisie in F. Minor,” a work of colossal tech nical brilliance and melodic beau ty. His second group was com posed of the Chopin “A Flat Im promptu,’’ "E Major Etude,” and the brilliant “Polonaise A Flat Ma jor.” These readings were all po etically lovely and often thrilling, as was particularly the “Polon- aile.” Mr. Hodgson ended his evening with a group containing Grieg, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, and a D’- Albert “Gavott." Mrs. Hodgson showed in her first group of German Lieder a very lovely tonal quality and ar tistic phrasing. Particular men tion should be made of the Liszt “Lorelpy," of which she made a thing of great beauty. The other songs of this group were all en thusiastically heard, being "The Almond Tree,” Schumann; “Sqre* nade,” Brahms; “For Music," Fran t. Mrs. Hodgson also sang bril liantly the Tosca Second Act Aria, “Vissi d’arte,” and a final group of four English songs. As an extra number she sang/ by request, a group of Mr. Hodg- ion’s nursery rhyme songs. These charming little songs are obtaina ble as Duo-Art records, as played by Mr. Hodgson. The rights fot their recording w^re obtained some months ago by the Steinway Company, who report a very large sale of them throughout -the coun try. • Though comment is unnecessary, all who have before heard him as accompanist will know that GREEN & MICHAEL LOAN DEPARTMENT 417-421 Southern Mutual Building A (arc* amount of local foods now on hand for'tamedUt, Disbursement on City Property. N Hodgson’s accompaniments were all exquisite. One listener finds himself with a pitiful lack of sufficient favora ble adjectives for comment on the various numbers. It must be re corded. however, that those who stayed away were deprived of a wholly gloriotfs and satisfactory musical evening. —D. B.
