L MAKE ATHENS A TOURIST CITY
t Athens affords .every opportunity for becoming
one of the greatest tourist cities in the country. It is
on a: direct line, rail and highways from the east
and "west to Florida. Its climatic conditions are far
superior to other places and its educational advan-
■ tages can ndt be equaled in the United States. Our
•A hotel facilities are ample to care forAhe hundreds of
tourists who are annual visitors to Florida and with
a stop-over here it would lead to making this city
more than a tourist city—a city for investors and
homeseekers. Florida has been largely built by peo
ple locating there from the north. Their first visit
to the land of flowers was for pleasure or for health
recuperation—then they realized that they had
' found a balmy Climate and resources undeveloped
which, held millions in Btore fqr those who capital
ized the opportunities of that state and many of
them remained as citizens and adopted the state as
their home. The same condition will exist in Athens
if we go after the tourists who are passing through
| our midst almost daily. Advertising matter pre
senting our advantages for homeseekers and invest
ors should be distributed freely and inducements of
fered to the tourist to stop over—spend the day here
and see what we have to offer. It would be a pay
ing investment for Athens. The Chamber of Com
merce will render a great service to the community
by having attractive booklets printed and distributed
at all the hotels and railroad stations in Florida dpr-
ing the winter and throughout the east during the
fall and winter months. Such advertising would at
tract the attention of the visitor and the tourist and
cause them to “sit up and take notice” when they
are passing this way.
The opportunities here are excellent for attracting
homeseekers and investors. This city and section is
- in its infancy in development in manufacturing and
| agricultural lines. If our advantages could be prop
erly presented,, there is no telling the number of out
siders who would locate here, invest their money
and become substantial and enterprising citizens.
Let us undertake the work of advertising Athens;
let the people of the nation know what we have here
to interest them as a home; as a business community
and as an educational center. No other city in the
. state possesses as much to attract and hold new citi-
, zena aa does Athens. Our own people appreciate
| less our opportunity than do those who know little
i of our advantages. Our peopleware working con-
; certedly in all movements for the good of the city.
. Let’s make > the next move a general campaign for
advertising our city nation-wide and for the securing
of conventions.
I GEORGIA LEADS IN CROP AVERAGE ,
, Every southern state, shows a large increase in ail
. crops, according, to reports of the Department of
Agriculture in Washington. Georgia shows an aver
aged 106.4 with Florida ranking next with an aver-
age of 104.0, the average of the southern states be-
t ing far above the average of the whole United States.
I . The Manufacturers Record in speaking of the won- '
., . derfut prospects of crop conditions in the south, says:
The marked advance during the last few
; weeks in the price of wheat and corn, due to a
i large extent to' the world’s shortage in wheat
( . and to a great shortage in corn prospects by rea-
| son of adverse weather, will doubtless have a
; stimulating effect upon nearly all agricultural""
I products, and likewise upon livestock. While
| the. wheat crop in Canada shows a heavy decline
as compared with last year, which is likewise
| true in some parts of the Northwest,'there is a
l lnrgevared in the Southwest, Kansas and Okla
homa especially, where the prospects are ex- -
ceptionally good apd where the farmers, en
couraged-by the rising prices of wheat, are seli-
i ing rapidly and getting themselves in better fi
nancial shape than they have been for several'-,
g years.
Agricultural conditions were never brighter for
|- the making of bumper crops this fall.- The food
1 .crop is unusually large and under conditions of a
( short crop of wheat ih other countries, prices for
t wheat and corn-are hound to remain high arid pos-
[ sibly increase before the planting of a new crop.

■The bolt weevil has been whipped in the cottpn
belt and outside of Texas, where there has been con
tinued rains, the other cotton growing states will
1 make the largest, crop of cotton to the acreage thia
country has kntAvn .since 1919. Every Indication,
points to a healthy fand substantial business for this
fall and it is believed that a return to ’ normalcy is
here and a general revival in all lines of commerce
will be experienced.
The farmers in this section have lived at home
I this year, producing in extra crops, trucking, poul-
try, eggs, butter and milk a sufficiency to live off of
i and whatever their cotton crop amounts to will be
r surplus for buying clothing, improving farm lands;

Mr. E, H- Dorsey says he did
meet tho party himself, but talked
with citizens who daft. Last week
n gentleman was in Athens whoso
mission was to investigate th°. cot*
ton crop for buyers and furnish an
authentic report of ita condition
He had visited every cotton grow
ing state and each section, going
out in the country . to inspect
crops. This party who is buthcrity
in the aubj’Ct says by far the fin
est and most promising cotton crop

where else In the belt, and their
cotton is in the h:*t condition
Mr. Dorsey says from what he ha*
seen and heard from farmers who
visit hie store wo have cause to fee
thankful for the fine crops now
maturing.
There’s no question about tbs
cold weathjr we had after Christ-
a* killing boll weevils. Mr. Dorsey
Jr., who has farms yt> Ocone© and
and Jufcson counties, after a warm
•pell followed by freezing weather
collected v about sixty boll weevils
that had come out from hlberna
tion. carried them into a warm
room and Inept them there to sc© If
they would come to lifeu Ed says
that after several days not a w*e
vll showed a sign of life. This con
vlnced him that weevils are killed
by cold and to this fact is 1ue the
few weevils round in this section.
Mr. Head last week went in *
business thrip through a cumber
of counties around Athene and
crossed Into South Carolina. He
says he saw everywhere the fin
est crops. Many fnrmerj have not
fduud a weevil this year, i ut they
are generally using poison. Mr.
Head says com is also the best
he ever saw. A fanner from Jti-
ferson says he has not seen a wee
vil or algo of the pest in his cot-
I grade fertilizers. JQarly cotton is
