lorCommissioner
of Agriculture
-r-'-i
J. J. BROWN
OF ELBERT COUNTY
Here are good reasons why
he should have your support:
He is the candidate of no
faction.
He pledges that if elected,
he and his administration will
be in the forefront for pro
gressive plans for providing
cash markets for all products
of the farms, and will co-oper
ate with all farm organ
izations to this end. HE
CHARGES THE PRESENT
ADMINISTRATION WITH
GROSS NEGLIGENCE IN
FAILING TO FIND MAR
KETS FOR DIVERSIFIED
PRODUCTS THE FARMERS
HAVE PRODUCED.
He favors placing the in
spection of Drugs under the
L Board of Pharmacy or the Pharmaceutical Association where it belongs.
He is a successful Business Man-Farmer. The farmers of the State have hon-
I him with the highest office in their State Organization.
He is thoroughly conversant with the details of the office, having served as
jsistant Commissioner for two years and he proposes to convert the office from a
Pical to a business machine.
He was elected four years ago by popular vote, but by manipulation of the spe-
tl interests who favored his opponent, the present incumbent, he was defeated in the
ate Convention. He received ten thousand more votes than the man declared elected
[id who now holds the office.
He shows by the State Auditor’s report of January 1, 1916, on “Condition of
_ u Funds” that wanton extravagance in the department has been the rule. The
ort shows on page 28 that in the year 1915 there was charged out to cash expense
fr traveling $21,617.83 at straight ticket rate whereas the cost for mileage such as
i business iirms use would have been 20 per cent less, or a saving to the State of
323.56 in one year on traveling expense alone.. The same condition applies to year
fit.
[our vote and influence will be highly appreciated

Local Ice Company Makes
Important Contribution
to Diversification Move
ment.
For a number of years there
has been a world of talk about
Diversification of Crops in the
South ard what it would mean
to the section at large, but the
Bainbridge Ice Company is now
sending out free to the farmers
of this county a piece of litera
ture that is more interesting than
any government bulletin ever
issued. In the shape of a story
of southern farm life, entitled
“Ready Money Bill,” th : s book
let tells just what diversification
did for one family in changing
the way ot living, and shows how
one boy on the farm decided that
right at home his folks could
live better than anybody in town
or city and then set about to
accomplish that result.
It is all right to point out the
importance of diversification to
the South at large, but the nub
of the proposition is that unless
the family on the farm profits
largely by it, the movement will
never get anywhere. “Ready
Money Bill” was not interested
in anybody but his own folks
and he had no idea of influencing
others, but when Bill’s family
commenced to live better than
their neighbors the whole com
munity began to follow their ex
ample and soon the whole county
was affected. Bill’s father had a
dream one night in which Nature
threatened to freeze up the South
because our people were coming
mo;e to depend on ccld countries
for foodstuffs. Bill seized the
opportunity to get his father’s
consent to changing his system
of farming, and therein lies the
story. The boy’s thoory briefly
expressed is that our southern
climate is ideal for production,
but not at all ideal for the pres
ervation of foodstuff. Dame Na
ture thought she had made a
mistake when she saw our peo
pie with their smokehouses in
the West and wanted to change
the climate so we could save
what we make, but Bill showed
his father that it is not at all
necessary to freeze up a whole
region just to enable the people
to save food from decay. The
story is very interesting, hut the
lesson it teaches is extremely
valuable as well. Bill tells how
to preserve foodstuffs from de
coy, from weevils and bugs and
all that sort ot thing in interest
ing fashion.
The Bainbridge Ice Company
has a free copy of this book for
every farmer who will make
application for it. It has been
suggested that the story should
be read in every county school
and discussed by the pupils, and
Manager Walker says that his
company will donate enough ice
tor a school picnic next summer
to any school where a dozen pu
pils write a little essay on “How
I Would Apply ’Ready Money
Bill’s’ Ideas to My Home Farm,”
and join in a discussion of the
importance of diversification and
foodstuff production to the South.
Our boys and girls are the farm
ers and the home-makers of the
future and the story of “Ready
Money Bill" will makejan instant
appeal to them.
The Bainbridge Ice Company
is to be congratulated on its en
terprise in making this story of
southern farm life available to
the people of this county. It
tells our people things that are
valuable to them in a a way that
that they will appreciate-not
how to grow crops, for they now
know that, but how to save crops
after they are made, and any
man will admit that this is a
great problem all over the South.
We cheerfully urge the readers
of this paper on Decatur County
farms to obtain a copy of this
little booklet as soon as possible
child reed it to the whole family
some night after supper, for eve
ry member will enjoy the story,
even the youngest children.
