VOLUME SIX * ‘T*?l S WEStHUKBBiBBKt3& vm ~' r.*a 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. ‘‘As «oon as' the officials of the ®l )t Cocljran Journal.

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.

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. NOTICE From this date on our terms for all legal advertisements will be strictly cash in advance.
