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.

FIGM IT HAND NOW 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.
