PAGE TWO FlfflEßS 10 Nffi PURCHASING POWB Henry Clews, New Yorker Bank er, Says Prosperity Lies Ahead For Agricultural Sections YORK, August s.—Henry' Cltfws, in their weekly financial re view, issued today, say prosperity licS ahead for agricultural sections especially. “Corn end more recent ly hog preies have advanced in en couraging fashion,’’ says the review. “The cotton crop still faces its most critical period, but it is safe enough to say that whatever cotton is ac tually raised and harvested will bring a profitable price, and the outlook at the present moment is foif a modernately good yield. All this bespeaks a much greater pur chasing power on the part of the farmer and can be expected to re flect itself directly in the opera tions of mail order establishments, agricultural machinery manufac turers, fertilizer producing compa nies and other branches of business that manufacture chiefly or largely for farmer consumption and indi rectly in the sales of a considerable variety of other concerns. The stocks of some of these have already profited measurably by the condi tions already outlined, and further improvement is certain to follow if agricultural prices continue to hold their present levels or go high er.

Monday’s Game Here Playing before a crowd estimat ed. at one thousand five tundre, Joe Jackson led his Waycross Liners to an 8 to 2 victory over the Macon ! Central team at the Playground dia mond here Monday afternoon. The game was fast from every angel and it W a ease of Stewart pitching iii the pinches while his team mates clouted in the clinches. “Lpfty” Stewart did the hurling ‘ for Waycross and except for the first and eight inning he was invin cible. A cloud of walks and a single gave tile Macon tossers the first run. Macon held this lead until the third frame when Ike Thrasher hit one over the right field f ence for a home run. Two more runs wei - added by the Coast Liners in this inning and gave them a two-run lead. The fourth and fifth innings were where the Jackson clan scored two more tallies while the Ctfntral ites were held scoreless. After Hunt had singled in the seventh the mighty Jackson hit a fast pitch ed ball o/i the nose that was never found. The ball being Jackson’s longest drive in many a year. He circled the bases walking and Hunt tallied before him. The third run was the last marker the Waycross team put over. Jenkins, who plays left field for .Macon, hit one of Stewart’s offerings o’, er the left field wall for a home run and the 3 final tally in the eighth inning. The hitting stars for Waycross were Jackson with three out of four, Thrasher with two out of five, Hunt with three iut of three, and Long who crashed out a double sh four tries. Chancey, Jenkins and Mc- Lendon hit best for Macon in the order named. A fielding star for Waycross could hardly, be named as the Jack son’s tutored clan didn't mak e an error and played team work bail McLendon fielded well for Macon as did Thomas at short. From here the Waycross club went to Marietta for a four-game series. It is announced that one of the games would probably be play ed in Cartersville. Score by innings r. ii. r.

FIGHTING EDITOR S WIFE IS “DEAD GAME SPORT” Would Like to Say a “Few Words” to the Judge ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.. Aug. 4.—Mrs. Carl Magee, wife of New Mexico’s fighting editor, is a ‘dead game sport.” . While "her husband is fighting cor rupiion in state affairs. and spend ing part of his time behind cell bars for his efforts, Mr.. Magee is quietly following her husband, in sympathy with his every move, helping him to withstand the at tacks of his enemies. She has never been strong physi cally and it was for her health tnau Magee moved to New Mexico from Oklahoma. But she never permits the question of health to enter into V X.K ■ her husband’s worries. When Magee was called to Wash ington last fall to testify against Abort Fall, former secretary of the interior® Mrs. Magee was in a hos pital in California, having been se riously injured in an automobile ac cident. She refused to permit friends or attendants to notify Ma gee, saying there was no necessity for worrying him. Thoughtful gray eyes evince ■ calm knowledge of the fight her ‘ husband is waging. “The consola i tion of it all,”, she says, “is the : knowledge that his enemies are dig . ging themselves deeper into their i own ruin.” ; And like all women, Mrs. Magee > would “like to say a few words to ; the judge.” i SOUTHEASTERN FAIR TO HAVE S.

Ihe Central of Georgia Makes Two Blades of Grass Grow Where But One Grew Before “fie who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before is a public benefactor,” is a familiar quotation. ••» < The Central of Georgia Railway can qualif y under this standard as having been helpful to its territory by its success in encouraging better pastures—a word that probably means more than anything heretofore attempted for the permanent prosperity of agriculture in this section. ‘‘Test pasture” work has been in progress for 4 years. Results for the past year are being made public in a series of meeting's now being held in the 80 counties served by the Central of Georgia. These results prove that the Georgia and Alabama farmer can, at a comparatively snrnli cost, convert much low waste land into pm l ur. ;; t hat afford more grazing per acre than the best pastures of those sections heretofore recognized as the standard of excellence. Records show that these test pastures are grazing an average of more than a head of cattle to the acre, while even the blue gtass section of Kentucky, it is estimated, requires two acres of pasture per head of grown cattle. The first test pastures went to seed in 1921, and each has caused the starting of numerous oth ers in its vicinity. Up to the present 2,421 farmers have started better pastures and have seeded over 31,000 acres. The improvement of pastures, their cleaning up and seeding, is increasing each year and the movement is now firmly established. The CentraJ’s Agricultural Department, thow-i ever, expects to continue its endeavors to encourage the sowing of Lespedeza, Dallas Grass, and Carpet Grass, the pasture plants which are so well adapted to this section. Better pastures call for better cattle to graze then, and the time is not far distant when the States of Georgia and Ala bama, because of their ability to produce meat and milk as cheap as any other section, will take their proper rank among the stock-raising states of the country. The success of the pasture work in laying a foundation for cheap feed for live stock as the basis of a stock-raising industry, has encouraged the management of the Central of Georgia to appro priate the funds necessary to inaugurate a new work, which it is believed, will result in profitably increasing crop yields. - Soil improvement through use of winter legumes, such as beans and peas, has been much dis cussed although little practiced. The Agricultural College of Alabama and Georgia have in recent years learned much about better pnethods of stimulating the growth of such cover crops, and getting the desired results with them. The Central of Georgia has offered (as it did 4 years ago for the test pastures) to pay half the cost of establishing in each of the 80 counties served by the rail load, a soil building, or soil redintegration, tost plot. In co-operation with the owners of the land these winter legumes will be grown to prove, by actual, visible demonstration, that their proper use will give profitable increases in crop yield. One year hence the farmers of the counties where such test plots are established will be invited to inspect the difference between the crops grown where the soil building methods have been need and those ..frown under ordinary practice. these are ilh. tratio: of the interest of the Central of Georgia in agriculture, the basic in dustry of the territory whore a large percentage of the total wealth produced annually comes from the soil. Io co-opeiat - with thi force- which are en de;.coring to bring about greater agricultural proS peuty, the Central 6f Georgia maintains an Agricultural Department.
