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. : a,, m U Provide* for Car* of Dumb Animal*.
