Distinguished Americans.
Athens has as her guests today two
’distinguished Americans. Senator
Lever, Joint author of the Smith Lever
bill and Secretary Coverdule. of the
American Federation of Farm Bureaus.
These gentlemen come as the guests
of the State College of Agriculture for
farmers' week. The program today
has many interesting features besides
the addresses of these prominent citi-
* gens Every Athenian and every oltl-
xen in this section of the state should
he at the college today and lieur the
gentlemen.
The agricultural college Is doing
great work for the farmers of C»ei
gia and the short courses which a
held from time to time have proven
■ of much benefit. The demonstrations
being elven this week and ilie confer
ences on marketing arc of morn than
ordinary Importance nml the attend-
nnce includes representative citizens
from every section of the state.
The American Federation of farm
bureaus has accomplished raneh for
the farmers of this country and espe
cially In the South. The secretary of
that organization la here today; hli*
mesrage will be sought for and the in
formation which he will Impart will
be of much value to all who may hear
him.
At this time hog-ralalng 1b one of_
the most lpmortant Industries In th-
sUte. It is rapidly growing and our
people recognlxe In It one of the most
profitable lines of business to enter
Today there will ho a discussion of
feeds suitable for finishing market
hogs snd marketing. Meat raised in
Georgia has a sweeter and hotter
flavor than tho western meat. ni
nrovetflent has been made In curing
hog» In thle eectlon which shows that
no better meat Is raised than that
grown In Georgia.
Timber and wood will b« given much
attention today. Its value to the farm
r and bow to estimate on Its value
a net, Instructive teaching is bound L
-.-.-'t In great good to those who are
so fortunate as to attend these con
tt*rf»n< on.
It will be worth yonr while to at
tend these meetings today and lean-
f the valuable resources of this state
Industrial Lines Improve.
From all sections of the country an
nouncoment's are made of Industrial
plant* resuming operations and bet
ter time* ahead. Work and work uu
til It hurts la what tlio country need;
at this time. It Is production—and
production can not come unless longer
hours and closer application Is «lr
voted to all Industrial and commercial
enterprises.
With the closing of so many of the
Industrial plants in all sections pf llo
nation, the number of the unemployed
has grown beyond aid. There are si
many unemployed at this time It li
believed that unless something Is done
to bring about a change in condition!-,
there is bound to be much suffering
I^J iny agencies are working (o relieve
^Mho condition and It Is believed tha.'
Hpthe unemployed will soon Unit occu
^patlon which will eaUbO normal cond'
tlons to he restored.
In Athens there Is u scarcely a da-
that some one Is not asking for wort,
and many of them arc asking for help
the unemployment condition is reach
ing out fast and unless something i '
done to relieve the situation there I-
bound to be much suffering hero till-
spring.
However. It Is belter to keep In
mind things which arc worth while
and things that mean much for the
community as well as for those who
nre directly Interested. Employment
should be found for every Idle person
In the city and at a salary on which
he can be supported. The Improve
ment of conditions and the downward
move of prices .on living commodities’
will encourage and help those who
have had to pay the -price" and nice-
With the unusual times which hav«
boon prevalent In this country for tin
past three years.
So loon 88 tbe plants of tli
lecturers are going, busings
on n«w life and everyone new unem
ployed will be working. If he so dc
sires, and money will again become
easy and plentiful.

Inquiry was made of that dopurtmon

these several counties, as indicate'

shown, returned for taxation In 191'
12.618 345 and lu 1920 returned $5
127.215. Comparatively Grady is on-
of the young counties In the list in
which comparisons were made.
