Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 23, 1916. Bryan, in advocating a “dry Democracy,’’ has set in on Chi cago. The verdict from the Golden State has been long drawn out. Evidently they are a deliberate set. The women who are adept in the use of aeroplanes have a great advantage over the ordi nary type of “high-fliers.” Dollars seem to be plentiful, but the most of them are clothed with that peculiar elusive glint, and are rather difficult to capture. While Ted has lost none of his old-time vigor, the effect of his efforts seem to have been oppo site his intentions. ‘Tis said that his efforts were for the benefit of T. It. in 1920. The boll weevil is said to be almost invincible, yet scientific methods of farming rightly ap plied will no doubt keep him in the back ground. Stop his prog ress before he arrives. There is not enough cotton left in the average field for the proper administration of toothache drops or the bandaging of a bruised toe. Better seasons for gathering were never enjoyed by the farmers of this section. The recent Georgia products dinner demonstrates that Geor gia, as well as all Southern states, is or should be independent, as far as food supply is concerned. Her climate and soil will produce almost everything grown. Let Montgomery county farm ers plant a good acreage of wheat this fall. Will be needed next year. Nothing better than home raised products. During the past few years it has been clearly demonstrated that wheat can be profitably grown in this county. None so blind as those who will not see; none so deaf as those who will not hear. So it is difficult to convince some peo ple that blank newspaper cost money, or that a slight raise in the price of subscription is neces sary. Attach a pair of pine bark spectacles and lend us your ears —shortly. j Put that boy in school. The teacher is accustomed to the ef fort of pounding sense into his gourd, even if his parents have neglected his training. The teach er is long-suffering and in many cases gives a child better training than it receives at home. This is a sad state of affairs, but true in many sections. No matter who the victor or how liberal the terms of peace, when the warring nations of Europe have laid down their arms, each will have sustained losses which time and wealth cannot repair. Well founded or not. we venture the assertion that another such contlict will not be staged during the next century. War should have no place in the ac tivities of man. The Montgomery Monitor fa vors the oiganization of the weekly papers of the Twelfth district into an association as contemplated, and whether we are able to attend the initial meeting in Dublin tomorrow, hope to unite in furthering the com mon interests of the newspapers of the district. These district organizations cannot conflict with the State organization, and will be of mutual benefit to the week lies of this section. fTTTTTVVTVTVVVTTYYYYYVYTY • ► 4 ► Georgia State < ► 4 £ Press Expressions. 2 C 4 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA The exodus of negroes to the East and North has not been so great that the South will be caused any inconvenience if they stay there, however, we believe that as soon as they suffer from a few cold days they will be ready to return to the Southland and then the trouble will begin.

THE MONTGOMEP.Y MONITOR-THURSDAY, NOV. 23, 1916 THE GEORGIA FRUIT EXCHANGE Perishable Crops, Shipped in Quantities, Handled to Advantage. Atlanta, Ga., November 20. What is believed to be a long stride toward the solution of the marketing problem involved in the diversification of crops by farmers of Georgia and southern states generaly is the plan of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, which has just been announced, to extend its service to all perish able farm products moving in carload lots. Heretofore the exchange has only handled Georgia peaches, together with some watermelons and cantaloupes, and has ren dered invaluable service in di recting shipments to cities where the local markets were not al ready over-loaded and where prices were consequently high. Without some such central agen cy, constantly in touch with lo cal market conditions in the large cities of the east and north, peach growers would be forced to ship at random and take their chances on good prices. Identically the same service rendered in the past to growers of peaches, water melons and cantaloupes will be rendered in the future to growers of all perish able farm products who ship in large quantities, the plan of the new service having been worked out in co-operation with the State Department of Entomology.
