Chamber Commerce
Doing Good Work
Ytlanta, Ga., Dec. 10. —Although
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce
officials at present are busy in plac
ing the organization on a solid fi
nancial basis, they are not forget
ting to give the entire State the
benefit of some construction work.
The fight against the coming inva
sion of the boll weevil is being pros
ecuted vigorously and will soon
make itself felt in many parts of
the State. The Georgia Products
idea is also being pushed, and
Georgia people are being made to
realize that it will pay them to use
Georgia products on all occasions.
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAION
The campaign for membership
for the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce was successfully started re
cently in Atlanta, when a score of
business men subscribed heavily to
the organization for a period of
three years. The State Chamber
officials confidently expected to
raise at least SIO,OOO per annum in
Atlanta. Campaigns will be start
ed during the coming weeks in Dal
ton, Athens, Albanyj Americus,
Tallapoosa, Jackson, Chats worth,
Bainhridge and other cities. Large
business firms of every character
are being asked to subscribe a
lump sum to the support of the or
ganization. At the same time, the
State Chamber is building up a
large individual membership. In
dividual memberships cost $5 per
annum.
HATS OFF TO MOULTKIE
The following article taken from
the Dublin Courier-Herald is of
State-wide interest:
“A big farmers’ meeting was
called in Moultrie last week by the
local board of trade which was at
tended by over two hundred actual
farmers. The meeting was called
for the purpose of creating interest
in truck growing and meat raising,
but first the Moultrie business men
got together and financed one of
the finest packing houses in Georgia
to take care of the new farm prod
ucts and fßrnish a quick cash mar
ket for something besides cotton.
They showed the farmer that they
meant business. They convinced
him that he wouldn’t have a lot of
meat and perishable vegetables on
his hands after had raised them.
They then called a general farmers
meeting.
With little or no speech-making
the farmers were faced with a blunt
request from the packing house peo
ple for fifteen thousand hogs to be
raised in Colquit county next year.
This amount it was stated was just
aland half enough to operate the
plant. Immediately after starting
the farmers with this proposition
the secretary prepared an assign
ment chart for evew district in the
county. On this chart each dis
trict was assigned so many bogs'
melons, cantaloupes, Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, and other truck to
be raised. A specific number of
each was given each district, ap
portioned according to acreage and
land ownership. In short, the
year’s work for the farmer was laid
out for him and he was guarantied a
cash market.
At this meeting the board of
trade invited any farmer present to
ask any question relative to the
raising and price of any article as
signed to him —and the board had
present recognized experts for no
other purpose than to answer these
questions.
A more complete or practical
demonstration of how a chamber of
commerce can benefit a town and
county has probably never before
been made in Georgia.

Atlanta, Georgia, November 26, 1913.
Rivers Realty Company,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Gentlemen:
I note that you have the McArthur plantation in Wheeler
county for sale, and that you are dividing it into small farms.
I am "thoroughly familiar with this farm and regard it as one
of the very best farms in Georgia. It contains a number of
different types of soil suited for all kinds of agricultural crops.
The McArthur home is one of the handsomest and most
picturesque country places I know. It is situated among the
pines in the heart of a most fertile section. The land can
easily produce one bale of cotton per acre, or fifty to seventy
five bushels of corn per acre. The purchasers of this splen
did property will certainly not make any mistake.
Respectfully,
(Signed) E. L. WORSHAM,
State Entomologist.
DECEMBER 12-13
The McArthur Home will be sold with its 540 acres sur
rounding it, including barns, store, grist mill, gin, saw
mill and tenant houses. The home contains 19 rooms and
is equipped w T ith water works and acetylene lights. There
are 20 tenant houses on the several tracts to be sold.
A representative of the firm will be on the ground for
ten days before the auction to show prospective purchas
ers over the place. Write for plat giving survey, either
to Douglas McArthur at Lumber City, Ga., or to address
below. Drop a postal saying you are coming.
