PAGE TWO STEWFWSffi ■b chops Many Have Signed With Cotton Co-operators—Peanuts, Cane And Grain Being Planted LUMPKIN, March 10.—The farm ers of Stewart county appear to realize that co-operative marketing is the proper plan; and quite a number of them have readily s.i.sjn erf the five-year contract with the I Cottbh Grower- association. They i believe that selling through this as sociation will be the best method ev’er'put into practice in Georgia. They have lost no time in prepa: -.’ irig their land and anticipate plant- ; ingat the earliest date possible. Most of the year so far having been addiirable for outdoor work, the farmers throughout the county haVe practically ail their land in readiness, and many of them are now planting corn. Itjis understood that acreage will be' increased this year in planting the once -‘lowly” peanut; as prices have been so good for the past sea son for this product. More attention is being civen by the farmers of Stewart county each year r BOW .to the planting of cane; from which the best syrup on the market is made.

SMALL CANTALOUPE ACREAGE FOR THOMAS THOMASVILLE. .Mard-. 10. - It is not probable that there will be a very large acreage planted hi anta loupes in part of South Georgia this : year, as ihe crop lad season brought a good deal of loss to many of those who had planted. ! There were not many planted last ■season around Thomasville, but over in the MLgs district there was quite a good acreage, and adjoining, in ■ Mitchell county, there were thous ands of acres. The rains that came ' on just as the crop was being ship i ped ruined it practically and the < s suffered very much in consequence. With such a large acreage the markets wer overstocked - ven before the crop was damaged. ’The fact that the year before when the acreage was comparatively small, it had netted the planters of canta loupes fine returns, led others to go into the business and those who had made money to increase theirs and the consequences were disastrous to ■ both. M atermelon planting has just be gun and it is said that the acreage in that crop will be reduced also. WANT CONSOLIDATION QI ITMAN, March 10.—The meet : ing of the board of education today ' was one of much interest, the most important matter being the appear lance of the committee from the Cate; j and River Hill districts asking for consolidation of the schools. The board was very enthusiastically be hind this move and will locate a new building and help materially .with the building plan. The board also voted to help with the equipment of the new Barney school very materialy. A number of details, were disposed of and plans for the coming yea r were made. DECLARE FOR SUNDAY CLOSING MACON, March 10.—Pastor yf Macon will unite in a campaign to enforce Macon’s Sunday closing laws >y aiming a "conscience attack” at persons whom the miinsters declare to be circling the law. Memebers of th< mini terial union here have de cided to preach special sermons March 18, urging observance c" the closing law. BRITISH WORLD TRADE FALLS OFF (Continued from Page Four.) they are the only things that throw a little (light on a subject. On Jan. 1 the number of applicants for jobs at the regular British gov ernmental employment exchanges was 1,542,000, of whoip 1,199,000 were men and 225,000 were women. Contrast this with only 10,258 in France, 42,593 in Germany, 26,450 in Belgium, 37,268 in Switzerland, "2,7000 in Holland, 354,238 in Italy and 91,237 in starving Austria. But even that doesn’t give you the whole picture. You have to visual ize the conditions in the big cities where there are often 50 applications for every job advertised; where men lounge in droves along the prin cipal streets, either openly begging or peddling matches and shoe strings. Os the nearly 12 millions of work people insured against unemploy ment, 12.2 per cent are out of work. I AM DOING ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL WORK No Job too Small or too Large.

In two years the workers of Britain have had cuts aggregating 50 million dollars a week or two and a half bil lion dollars a year. And they have stood this largely because work was so scarce and business was so bad. To help the workless, the state has given “unemployment doles” which, it is estimated, have taxed the treas ury about halt' a billion dollars a year. Trades unions have drained their treasuries in payments to the unemployed and the ‘workless them selves have exhausted all their sav ings..
