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.

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. ■ e WANTED—Experienced trimmers for automobile work.

C. 12 r 2l 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. $1.24 19c 30c 30c In a few hours your cold is gone, head and nose clear, no feverishness, headache, or stuffed-up feeling.

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.

J. 12-40 | 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.
