black specks floated before me. My

While we cannot expect the “boom”
conditions now found in some of the

continued small improvement in local
business, as compared with a year
ago.
Two Factor* Help.
In addition to the effects of diver
sified farming, two other factors are
highly favorable to a continual im
provement in Macon territory. The
lumber business is profitable and
showing greater development, and
‘there is a general -determination on
the part of business men and farm
ers to overcome the effects of the boll
weevil. I
The dairy business has shown an
almost unprecedented development in
various sections of the state and is
now on a basis that insures a con
tinued growth throughout the com
ing years.
Many banks in the Southern por
tion of the state now have a surplus
of funds and some of them a higher 1
total of deposits than they have had
even durinp the inflated period of
1919, and are poinp into outside ter
ritory to place loans because of the
fact that there is not the local de
mand for credit that there was un
der the old one crop system.
While even with this increase in
wealth there is not the local retail
trude in the smaller towns that there

was, this local trade will gradually
increase as the producers pay off
their old debts anil build up a sur
plus, and as local merchants so ad
just their business as to handle the
class of goods that the producers
will be buying in the future. While
there will not be the demand for the
heavy staple groceries and feeds that
farmers purchased in the past, there
will as time goes on be a greater de
mand for such articles as clothing
and furniture.
Conditions “Spotted.”
While conditions in Georgia are
very spotted, many sections being in
excellent condition, though a few are
in unsatisfactory condition, work and
confidence will improve the dark
spots on our business map. The indi
cations are that confidence, even in
the sections that have suffered most,
is being restored and any observer
can see that a larger amount of work
and preparation for coming crops has
been done this Pall than at any other
time since the boll weevil has come
into this territory.
It is true that some sections have
lost a large amount of labor and that
is the most difficult thing that we
will have to overcome. Even this
problem will be solved by the adop
tion of a diversified system of farm
ing that insures an income for our
farm labor and enables the labor that
remains to cultivate larger areas of
land.
One striking thing In the adjust
ment of labor conditions is the fact
that while many negroes have left,
and are still leaving South Georgia,
there is a movement of w-hite labor
from other states and other portions
of Georgia into South Georgia which
will more than overcome the loss of
the class of labor which has moved
out to other territory.

FIRST NATIONAL
ENLARGES QUARTERS
The First National Bank last week
closed a contract for the room which
has been occupied by Miss Sarah
Fambro, which the bank will use in
connection with its present rooms in
enlarging its quarters. The contract
lease is for ten years. The property
belongs to Mrs. Edward Elder.
Just as soon as it can be done the
office and quarters of the bank will
be remodeled and rearranged and the
officers believe with this additional
space the bank will have one of the
most attractive and convenient bank
quarters anywhere. Definite plans
will soon be worked out and the new
quarters will afford every possible
facility for transacting a banking
business, both for the bank and for
the public.
Mr. L. C. Tyus, the efficient cash
ier, has long felt the need for en
larged quarters and he and the other
officers are very much pleased that
they have been able to close a deal
for this additional room. Mr. Tyus
thinks the new quarters will be ready
for occupancy within something like
sixty days, when the bank will have
an unusually handsome and up-to
date banking house.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA PUBLISHES
EXPERIENCES OF FARMERS IN
FIGHTING BOLL WEEVIL *
The big outstanding problem of the southern farmer (and that makes it the problem of the
southern business man, also) is the fight against the boll weevil. It is enough to say that the prob
lem is solved by diversification. That is a fine and valuable contribution to the campaign some
thing that goes far toward insuring financial independence, but it does not go far enough. So long
as cotton is the chief money crop of the South it is folly to r abandon cottoh.
The best weapons in the fight against the weevil are hard work and common sense. These must
be supplied by the farmer himself, but there are many ways in which other interests may cooperate
with the farmer. One of these is to furnish him with information of the methods that have been
successful in weevil-infested territory, so that he may apply or adapt those methods to his own
benefit. This the Agricultural Department of the Central of Georgia Railway is prepared to do.
Without attempting to say what method is best, and without recommending one plan above another
our agricultural department is ready to supply you with facts and figures as to how the weevil has
been fought, the plans of combat and the results.
Pamphlets describing these experiences may be obtained by application to -J. F. Jackson, Gen
eral Agricultural Agent, Savannah, Ga. Personal interviews may be had with Mr. Jackson or with
the department’s four agricultural agents, J. A. Winslow, Cuthbert, Ga.; J. F. Bazemore, Griffin,
Ga.; G. E. McWhorter, Milledgeville, Ga.; John Rigdon, Columbus, Ga.
Such co-operation is a part of the program of the Agricultural Department of the Central of
Georgia Railway, which makes a study of practical agriculture and places the results of its in
vestigation at the disposal of the farmers of its territory.
The Department was organized in 1911 and has done its part in meeting the changed condi
tions that have arisen since that time. It has established test farms for the trial of the methods
advocated by agricultural colleges; it has assisted Boys’ Clubs for crop growing and stock raising;
it has distributed pure-bred sires, cattle and swine throughout its territory; it has shown how to
bacco and other money crops may be grown to bridge over the lean years while the fanner is learn
ing to live with the weevil; it has conducted Farm Tours through the West; aided in thh construc
tion of correctly designed storage houses for sweet potatoes, and is now promoting test pastures
to show that permanent pasturage is possible and will result in lessened production-cost of beef, milk
and pork.
We are g'.ad of this opportunity to acknowledge our indebtedness for whatever success may
have attended these efforts to our friends, the farmers in the different communities, who have ex
tended such fine co-operation and who have always been ready to give a fair trial to the suggestions
that have been made. There is an apparent realization of the interdependence between agriculture
and transportation, and an absence of hostility that is most gratifying.
We of the Central of Georgia are eager to be of service to the farmer whenever and wherever
vve can.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
Yours very truly,
W. A. WINBURN,
President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
Savannah. Ga., December 14, 1922.

GEORGIA PIMENTO
FULLY PROTECTED
Washington, Dec. 16.—The Geor
gia pimento, first grown around Grif
fin, but now developing into a State
wide industry, will get full protection
against foreign grown pimentos un
der the tariff law. This assurance
was given Senator Wm. J. Harris to
day by Assistant Secretary Clifford,
of the treasury department, in charge
of the administration of the customs
service. ,
It appears at one time as if the
department might permit pimentos to
come into the United States under
a tariff applying to the whole raw
product and not the finished pimen
tos in tin cans. However, the mat
ter is cleared up today in the com
munication to Senator Harris, which
says:
“The treasury department rules
that the provisions in Paragraph 779
of the tariff act for whole pimentos,
packed in brine or in oil, or prepared
or preserved in any manner” covers
whole pimentos imported in cans.
“The merchandise as subject to
the department’s decision consisted
of pimentos with stems and seeds re
moved, packed in tins, and the de
partment in its decision held that the
merchandise was properly dutiable
under the paragraph above referred
to, at the rate of 6 cents per pound,
it being the department’s opinion
that the pimentos w'ere properly du
tiable under the paragraph cited,
even though the stems and seed had
been removed.”
I The tariff on pimentos was secured
in the house through the efforts of
Representative Crisp, of Georgia. a
member of the house ways and means
committee, and Representative J. \y
Wise, of the Sixth Georgia district,
which includes Griffin. In the sen
ate the item was followed up by Sen
ator Harris.
1 he citizens of Lamar county a
interested in the growing of tt
pimento, as they made a big crop !r .
1922. It is hoped that satisfactory
adjustments may be made so that
our farmers may feel authorized to
plant a considerable acreage in 192:'
