Cochran Makes a Plea For
Highway Connections.
week we called attention
to the fact that we were on a
branch highway, so to speak,
and had no outlet north or south
except via. Hawkinsville and
Dublin. The only highway that
Cochran is on, that has been
adopted by the State Highway |
Department is the Dixie Over
-1 ind extending across from the
Laurens county line to the Pu
laski county line. We could have
easily had the route from Jeffer
sonville to Cochran and from
Cochran to Eastman adopted by
the Highway Department but we
preferred to sit still, so they
adopted one from Macon to Jef
fersonville and thence to Dublin
and another from Macon via.
Perry and Hawkinsville to East
man and left us entirely out.
Now another route is being pro
jected from Macon to Brunswick
via. Perry, Hawkinsville and
Eastman again leaving Cochran
off the route.
Those interested in this route
are going to have a big meeting
in Hazlehurst Friday. Two to
three thousand people from all
along the route are expected to
attend this meeting. We always
like to speak of our town as be
ing wide awake to its interests,
but it is certainly hard to do it
when we see how keen other
towns are to have the se great
highways and we seem absolute
ly indifferent. People, we are
cjrtainly going to pay heavily for
this indifference. Cochran Jour

The merchants buys his goods,
adds a reasonable profit—or an j
unreasonable one, sometimes
and makes his own price to bis
customers. The farmer toils the
year round making a crop and
lets his customers make their
own price on what he produces.
He knows what it cost to pro
duce his cotton or corn, but he
accepts whatever price he is of
fered. Why this difference?

Springfield Herald:—The Mt.

men to serve on the local school
boards and we believe it a good
idea. Two or three good women
on the school boards would bene
fit the schools. A woman is a
closer observer than a man. usu
ally, and they would take more
interest in the management of
the schools. Every school in the
State should try the experiment.

ever they get in the notion to

Where Live Stock and
Fruit Supplant Cotton.
Reynolds, Ga., March 13.
j Since January 1, this year, up to
date, farmers of Reynolds and
vicinity have shipped from Rev
nolds thirteen cars of cattle and
hogs to the markets in Macon, j
Atlanta, Nashville and Moultrie:
and more will be shipped during;
March and April. This is a con
siderable falling off from previous 1
years, supposedly on account of!
the low prices prevailing. This
section has never been advertised
as an extensive hog and cattle
raising center, yet it is, and the
farmers are constantly purchas
ing blooded cattle and the best
stock of hogs.
Quite a lot of cream is being
shipped from here to the nearby
creameries, and it is predicted
that the cream shipments will
reach one hundred gallons per
day in the near future. The
smaller farmers are being inter
ested in the cream industay and
will concentrate their cream sup
ply with the firm of Barrow Bros.,
who will prepare large and small
quantities for shipment daily,
which will mean an income to the
farmers for the reason there has
not been a ready market for but
ter, which naturally prevented
the farmer taking much interest
in saving the cream supply. The
farmers are more and more real
izing the fact that other than
cotton products can be raised for
a ready market. The fruit in
industry is increasing by leaps
and bounds, and quite a number
of farmers are planting aspara
gus.
It is predicted that this section
will this year ship the largest
crop of peaches ever shipped
from here.
Monroe Merchants
Take Eggs on Account.
Juliette, Ga., March 13. — A
large number of Monroe county
merchants have declared their in
tention of trying out the plan
adopted by M. Bass Brown, mer
chant of Devereau, for having
customers pay up their back
debts, and as a result an early
restoration of normalcy to this
section is expected. Mr. Brown.s
plan is that each of his nearly
two hundred customers against
whom he holds notes send him
one dozen eggs each week to be
credited on account and he will
also accept chickens, turkeys,
hens, ducks, pigs, potatoes, vel
vet beans and other farm pro
ducts.
In view of boll weevil condi
tions. many merchants in this
county hold old notes against
customers aggregating hundreds
of dollars, and it is believed these
notes could be quickly cancelled
if merchants would accept farm
produce in payment as practically
every farmer has a big supply of
corn, potatoes and other produce
•on hand. Several merchants re
aper t that they have already re
ceived a large amount of farm
produce to be applied on accounts
of their customers and had no
trouble in disposing of it. The
plan is proving so successful that
other merchants are expected to
| adopt it.

!; FARMERS “VICTORY WEEK”—MARCH 13-18 $
it it
•J) The week of March 13-18 has been proclaimed as “Victory }j*
Week" in the campaign for co-operative cotton marketing in it
i* Georgia. More than one thousand farmers from every cotton p
ft producing county of the state have banded themselves together
by pledges, to devote all their time: to the movement during this it
#* week. ■'*
J/t “It Shall Go Over The Top” is their slogan.
After the pool is completed the organization will be incor- it
*• porated as the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Association, j)
J't and will function in the following eight ways;
•I J 1. It will grade and staple every bale of cotton delivered it
j- to it. (This will place a true value on the cotton in terms of jfl
J'( quality.) •[,
«|j 2. It will warehouse all cotton delivered to it by its mem- •)<
. hers. (This will eliminate all country damage.) it
i* 3. It will sell all of its cotton in even-running lots, each ft
p grade and staple within Its own pool. (This will assure a
higher price because the spinner is willing to pay a premium C
1;. in order to secure cotton only of the kind he .desires. It will save ?()
J'< the profits of ihe middlemen and speculators.) }>
4. It will sell on its own sample and its warehouse certi- i; \
i ficates. (This will prevent undargrading and save the waste due JO
Jt to unnecessary sampling, thus eliminating the entire “city crop.”)
: .2 5. it will sell collectively and only when the market de- v.
! jj. mands. (This will reduce speculation and will tend to stabilize JO
I prices.)
! •/, 6. It will sell cotton as directly as possible to the spinner *•
i Jj- and the exporter. (This will shorten the route from the farm to J't
I })t the mill.) -J ,
•'j 7. It. will endeavor to determine the true cost of production Jj*
each year. (This will have a bearing toward getting fair prices.) J* j
| .8 It will encourage the production of uniform and standard •J '
JO varieties by communities. (This will tend to improve the quality
T and value of the cotton grown.) it •
