TIE STATE DEPT,
The recent continuous and
severe rains throughout the cot
ton belt, indicate that the govern
ment estimating bureau was a
little previous in its recent state
ment as to the prospect of the
1916 cotton crop, says a state
ment just given out by Commis
sioner]. D. Price of the State
Department of Agriculture.
“The government told us there
would be about 14,400,000 bales
this year, and put Georgia high
up on the list”, Commissioner
Price said. “I am inclined to
think the government estimate a
little previous, and no doubt it
had some effect on the market.
While it may have looked that
way at the time, recent reports
to this Department coming from
practically every section of this
state, indicate great damage
both to corn and cotton as the
result of the continued heavy
rains.
“In many sections, particularly
in middle and south Georgia, the
cotton plant is so large that it
can hardly be plowed again. The
effect of rain and wind and the
softening of the ground, has been
to leave a hole around the stalk,
and cause the breaking of many
of the lateral roots. It is practi
cally impossible to get a plow
near enough to fill up these
holes. In north and northeast
Georgia heavy rains had similar
effect, but not to such great ex
tent, as the cotton plant is -not
s) large.
Nevertheless, owing to this
and other damage, we cannot
now expect anything like what
the crop once promised. As these
rains were general over practical
ly the entire cotton belt, the
damage will be well distributed
and not fall heavily on any one
section or state. The crop re
duction will be general all over
the south, and the resultant en
hancement in price will possibly
overbalance all the rain damage
“There is further fear that the
wet weather which is the life of
the boll weevil will make that in
sect pest much more plentiful
and destructive, especially in
southwest Georgia where lit has
just begun to get in its work,
am informed the insect increases
rapidly when there is plenty of
rain, and this may result in
further reduction.
“As to corn, particularly on
bottom lands where the overflow
has been heavy, considerable
harm has been done. This is
especially true where the stalk
was very large. Where it was
small the farmers will be able to
save a large percentage of the
crop.
“There is no question, however'
in my mind that government
estimates will have to be materi
ally revised as the result of the
recent rain damage.”

IRES, and GASOLENE, “make the Wheels go round!”
A Car in the Garage COSTS as much as a Car-on-the-Road,
but it pays no dividends, on the Investment, so long as it STAYS in
the Garage.
The VALUE of the Car,—to its Owner,—narrows down, in the ultimate,
to the precise number of Hours he USES that Car, yearly.
If a $2,000 Car be owned for, say, 4 years (then sold for $600.) there has
been $1,400 of Car-Value absorbed by the Owner,—equal to, say, $350. per year.
If then, that Car be USED 913 Hours in the year, it would cost him but 38
CENTS per Hour, for Car-Use.
) _ But,—if he used it only HALF that number of Hours, yearly, the Car would
cost him 100% MORE for every Hour he used it. |
' How MUCH he uses it will depend,—to a considerable extent,—upon the
PRICE o/TIRES and GASOLENE.
This was oneoi the reasons why we (Jan. 31st, 1915) inaugurated the Goodrich l
i FAIR-LIST” Propaganda against High-prices, and Padded-Price-Lists, on Tires.
It is a further reason why we NOW keep our own Goodrich Prices DOYVN >
to the very moderate “Fair-List” figures here quoted.

price,—than are produced by The B. F. Goodrich Co. I
A 15%, to 50%, higher price could well be justified for these
same Tires, by fair comparison with other Tires sold at 15% to 50% higher prices.
Will you help your own interests (present and future), by further expanding
the Sale of that Tire which demonstrates its Intention, through LOWERING the
Cost of its Tires to yon, with every INCREASE in its Volume?
Will you thus endorse, and support, the Goodrich Policy which automatic
ally PREVENTS OTHER Makers from forcing UP the Market on Tires?
Compare Goodrich Fair-List prices, here quoted.
Bear in mind that NO Fabric Tires,—at ANY price,—are “better,”—no
House more Fair, and LIBERAL, on proper Adjustments.

BILL TO HELP F,
The agricultural appropriation
bill now before the United
States senate contains several
items that will be helpful to
Georgia farmers, and members
of the legislature now in session
here are watching the progress
of the bill with great interest.
One is an appropriation of $650,
000 to fight the boll weevil and
another is an appropriation of
$872,000 for the work of the
office of markets and rural
organization.
The work of this division in
cludes additional study of cotton
grading, and also the problem
of bailing to save the loss of tare.
It carries special appropriation
for cooperation with the states
to help bring the producer of
food crops, including fruits,
closer to consumers.
It will be remembered that
the creation of the markets divi
sion was the direct work of
Georgians. It was suggested to
Senator Hoke Smith by a com
mittee of Georgians headed by
Hon. R. F. Duckworth, at the
time, chairman of a committee
of the farmers Union. Senator
Smith prepared the bill creating
the division of markets, and
after two years of persistent
effort secured its passage.
The bill also carries an appro
priation to continue the study of
naval store problems, placed in
the bill by Senator Smith.
