The Birth ®f A Nation” At The Strand Theater, Wednesday, November 2nd. BETTER MARKETS FOR FARM PRODUCE The Atlanta Journal and The Coun try Bankers’ Association of Georgia - have started a campaign f#r better | market facilities for agricultural pro ducts of Georgia, and it is hoped that every section of the state will co-op erate with them in this great work. For perhaps a hundred years or more, cotton lias been grown in Georgia and lias been the chief, if not the only, mon ey crop of the state. During that time a very complete system of ginning, pre jiaritig and marketing cotton has come into being, so that a ready cash mar ket for cotton exists in practically ev ery town and village in Georgia, thru out the year. This is not true of all other crop save cotton. There must now lie a change in our 'agricultural plans. There must be pro-1 vided a stable and certain market for | everything that can be grown in Geor-1 gia. This matter of markets is not a 1 farmer's problem ; it is a business man’s problem. To a very large extent when tiic fanner has grown the crop, jmt it in condition to market aml brought it to town, his part of the task is done— i tin* distribution and handling of the crop after it is produced is up to the business man. Agriculture is the foundation of all | business prosperity, uiiil the disorgani zation of business in Georgia to-day, due to the lack of adequate markets, is a very serious one for every business mail. The farmers and business men of Harrow county will be interested in tliis work and the best efforts of our; peoiile will be given in co-operation. | x —T Tanlac. the remarkable remedy that everybody is talking about, is sold by G.
