Georgia Chamber
Of Commerce
Atlanta, Nov. 25 How the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce will
map out a definite State-wide pro
gramme of work for the next three
years, is told by President C. J.
Haden, in an interview given to the
press today. The State Chamber
will devote much of its time to the
l>etterment of marketing conditions
for the Georgia Farmer.
“The developement of Georgia is
a monumental task,’’ said President
Haden. “It .is no one-man job.
No set of individuals can hope to
accomplish it. It is worthy of the
combined result-producing effects of
every able-bodied Georgian.
“Broadly speaking, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce has for its
dominant purpose the advancement
of the welfare of Georgia; the pro
motion of its agriculture; the im
provement of general conditions
within its limits and its protection
from unjust attack at home and
abroad.
“Specifically stated, the aims
and objects of any given section of
the State, or of any group of indi
viduals looking towards betterment
of any character, are the aims and
objects of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce.
“The dynamic factor in the
building of the State of Georgia will
be the spirit —the vision—the en
thusiasm of its people. The Geor
gia Chamber of Commerce will in
culcate “the Georgia Idea” in the
breasts of Georgians. It will seek
to give* them “vision” in all the
fulness of the word.
“Already it has given them a
vision of what Georgia and her peo
ple can produce. The idea behind
Georgia Products Day struck home
with amazing force.
“Agencies of one kind or another
have been working for Georgia’s
betterment for years. The State
Agriculture Department, the State
Agricultural College, the Farmers’
Co-operative Demonstration Work,
the Cora and Canning Clubs,
Farmers’ Union, Commercial Or
ganizations, State, District and
County Fairs, the State Depart
ment of Education —these and
many more have been organized
and are actively engaged in better
ing conditions in as many different
directions.
“The Georgia Chamber of Com
merce will co-eperate with each
and every one of these agencies for
good. The fact that it has alreaJy
met with the unqualified approval
and support J many of them, is
convincing proof that it will have
state-wife field in which to work.

home of her mother, Mrs. N. L.
Taylor.
The decorations were quanities of
white chrysanthemums and hand
some growing ferns in jardiners.
Hot chocolate was served on en
tering by Mrs. J. P. Peacock and
Mrs. C. N. Taylor.
The trophy for highest score, a
string of rose beads, was won by
Mrs. Allie Taylor.
Charlotte and cake were serve 1 at
the conclusion of the games.
Those present were Mesdatnes A.
J. Yearty, J. A. Walker, W. G.
Barnes, Earl Elder, R. H. Peacock,
R. B. Powell, W. R. Richardson,
U. H. Patrick, J. N. Wynne, L. B.

man, C. N. Taylor, Henry Duggan,
Louis Turner, J. P. Peacock and
Misses Ann Walker, Mary Lou
Caldwell, Franks.
Georgia Chamber of Commerce have
conferred with representatives of
the various sister agencies through
out the State. Generally speaking,
however, the Chamber will work
for better marketing'Conditions; bet
ter roads and highways;* a better
school system; a better credit sys
tem for farmer and merchant; di
versification in crops and county
wide organization for mutual bene
fit in each county. Above all, the
Georgia Chamber Commerce will
carry on a consistent and intelligent
campaign whose slogan will be
“Georgia Products for Georgia Peo
ple.” Before any real development
can take place the people of Georgia
must know the resources and possi
bilities of their own State.
“True progress can only be at
tained through agricultural devel
opement. In close co-operation
with the big progressive and con
structive forces named, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce will devote
time and money in assisting the
husbandman to solve the economic
problems confronting him. In this
way the State Chamber will best
asssit the manufacturer, the whole
saler, the retailer, the jobber, the
banker, and all the other units
making up the complex business
system of today.”

NUMBER 16
Splendid Farm,
Improved Methods
It is very evident to a visitor to
the splendid farm of Dr. J. B. Pea
cock, 4 miles from Cochran that
the owner has long since abandoned
tbe one crop idea.
His barnes are bulging with corn
piled from the floor to the roof, ad
ditional rooms have been built and
wagon and buggy sheds have been
turned into corn bins. Talk about
bog and hominy and diversified
farming, if that is what it requires
to combat the boll weevil, Dr. Pea
cock will certainly be ready for him
when he arrives in Bleckley county.
He is making a specialty of rais
ing Duroc Jersey hogs and has
some of the finest bred hogs that
can be purchased in the United
States. He has just purchased a
car load from Kentucky and among
them are some of the most celebra
ed prize winners in America.
He will also have the famous
Herford breed of cattle on this
farm.
Dr. Peacock is making a specialty
of corn culture and is making
splendid yields.
We saw a ten acre field that had
been badly damaged by hail, the
blades were torn to shreds and the
stalk damaged, yet this field pro
duced over forty bushels to the
acre.
A private grist mill and feed mill
have been erected on this farm.
Power is furnished by a large gaso
line engine and the writer attests to
the excellent meal ground at this
mill from select corn raised on the
place. We had an idea that water
ground meal was the best on earth
but “Juliette” nor any other meal
is any better than meal ground at
this little mill. Tbe feed mill is
used to grind up feed for the stock.
The shuck, corn cob and grain are
ground up all together and makes
an excellent food for stock.
Five or six separate ranges have
been provided on this place for the
stock. The Duroc Jersey hogs take
precedence over all other kind, in
fact Dr. Peacock is keeping all
other breeds separate from them
and as soon as possible he will elim
inate all other bind.
We doubt if any county in the
entire south claim a better bred
line of Durocs than Bleckley.
