MR. R. N. ETHERIDGE
Mr. Etheridge returned a few days ago from the eastern mar
kets, where he purchased a representative and well assorted stock
of goods for Etheridge, Smith & Company. There is an optimis
tic tone to business in the North, Mr. Etheridge states, and the
outlook for a satisfactory spring trade is encouraging. Being both
an optimist and a booster, Mr. Etheridge refuses to look on the
cloudy side. His newly bought line of goods are now arriving and
he will soon begin to tell shoppers about the bargains he has secur
ed for them.

SUPERB NIGHT ILLUMINATION OF THE VAST PALACE OF HORTICULTURE
% *> - •. BBS f ' a
At night the vast glass dome of the Palace of Horticulture is played upon by rays of gigantic searchlight
projectors set within the building. The globe, which is the largest hemispherical glass dome in the world and is
one of the many marvels of the great Panama-Pacific International exposition, then assumes all the colors of the
rainbow. This photograph shows the great building at night with the rays of the searchlights casting the sign
of the Zodiac over its gleaming surface. 8

The Merchant Must Find
A Market For The Farmer
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
The merchant and the city ihan
have encouraged the farmer of the
South to diversify his crops. It would
now seem essential that they aid him
in finding a satisfactory market for
what he raises. While farmers of the
South cannot be expected to soon
raise, for instance, enough grain to
make it worth while to construct
warehouses and elevators, it would
seem possible for the merchants to
co-operate, grade and ship in car-load
lots to the advantage of all parties
concerned.
Should a merchant feel that he does
not want to disturb hie connection
with organizations that supply him
western hay and grain, he must then
cease doing business with the farmer
who has his diversified farm products
for sale, which he will hardly want to
do if the movement is of any conse
quence in his community.
It is doubtless true that the farm
er does not know how to grade and
pack his products for the market. It
will be Impossible to teach him imme
diately, do what we may. Therefore,
as has been suggested, the merchant
who takes the products may do the
grading and find it worth while. Of
course, a greater part of the farm
Cholera Serum Reduced
Or. W. M. Burson, Prof. Vet Science,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
Beginning with January 1, 1915, the
price of hog cholera serum manufac
tured by the state at the College of
Agriculture was reduced *o that It
now sells at 1 1-4 cents per cubic
centimeter instead of 1 1-2 cents. The
new price is just half what it was in
1912, when it was first offered for
sale by the state.
Recent repoi *s of demonstration
agents in Georgia who administered
hog cholera serum show 212 herds
treated. Cholera already existed
in these herds. In fact, 410 hogs
had died of the disease before the se
rum was admihistered, and 447 were
sick of it when treated. The total sick
and well treated was 6.629. Of this
number 336 died after treatment. The
percentage lost was 5.09 and the per
centage saved was 94.91.

produce that the Southern farmer
will have for sale, will be turned
over to the country merchant in ex
change for goods. The merchant gets
a profit off of his goods, of course,
and if he then will grade and pack
properly for the market, as he can
with several commodities, he will De
in position to make another profitable
transaction. .
Much can be accomplished both in
aid of diversification and in market
ing, by boards of trades of towns
and cities. Why should they not
make a census of the possible produce
for sale in a given trade radius, ob
tain the co-operation of merchants or
farmers for large shipments and di
rect attention of the large dealers to
the business to be obtained? Why
should trade organizations not system
atically wage a campaign of education
about grading and marketing definite
crops suited to a given area?
The State College of Agriculture has
the information, it is perfectly willing
to do everything in its power, but its
resources are, of course, limited and,
only through co-operation with local
organized agencies can it accomplish
the largest amount of good. This co
operation it welcomes to the end alone
that the College may do its educative
work.
Champion Pig Of The Pig Clubs
James E. Downing, Organizer Pig
Clubs, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
The champion pig club boy of Geor
gia ia Evans Jackson, Madison, R. F.
D. 4. His record shows that he pur
chased a pure bred pig six weeks old
for $7.50. He fed it 110.25 worth of
feed and when it was ten months old
it weighed 320 pounds. It took the
sweepstakes prize at the state
fair and he values it at
$60.00, which it is well worth.
On this basis his profit is $42.25. Be
sides this he won prizes and a schol
arship to the short course of the Col
lege worth considerably more. The
gains in weight for his pig cost 3.4
cents per pound. A circular has been
issued by the college for use of the
members of the pig clubs. It tells
how to join and carry on the work.
Just suppose the cotton farm
ers had depended on congress.
Instead they went to work and
are solving their own problems
in their way and in a few months
the foreign war will not affect
the South materially.
