liditor Atlanta Constitution,
Atlanta, tla.
Editor Constitution! During the post
three montlis 1 have traveled over the
states of South Carolina and Georgia,
Interviewing many of the best nnd most
prominent farmers. I find that they,
ore hauling their cotton from the gins
to tliclr homes and there storing same—
somc^ilng I never Saw before. This
condition Is brought about on nccount
of tlio extremely low price of cotton,
nttrlliuted mainly because of the war In
Europe and' to a lesser extent by rea
son of a "bumper” crop.
Thcso farmers seem interested nnd
express a Willingness to produce other
commodities. All of the larger railway
Bystems In this part of the country, and,
In ftict, throughout the south, have com
petent nnd efficient Industrial represen
tatives In tile Held, assisting nnd show
ing’the farmers “how” to. diversify their
crops nnd put them on a better pay
ing basts. ' ’-
In south Georgia (Colquitt county) I
visited 8omq clover and alfalfa fields
ns fine ns hnyone would wish to sec,
planted under the direction of one of
the Industrial agents referred to above.
Many of thf farmers are beginning to
realize that there is an unlimited nnd
ncvcr-cndlrtg market for fresh ments,
snd are branching out .into cattle and
ting raising. -Slaughter pens nnd pocking
houses have been established at conven
ient centers. The city council of At-
Inntn has recently adopted an ordlnnnee
permitting the shipment of fresh ments
from Georgia points into Atlanta, under
certain restrictions which can, without
Inconvenience, he complied with by the
farmers and producers. The people of
Snvnnnnh and Hint vicinity linve, for
some time, benefited by n similar law.
Other cities in Georgia, where, city laws'
prdh|blt' the bringing In of fresh meat
shipments will no doubt, sec the wis
dom of ndqptlng. similar modifications
whereby, the' farmer may he permitted
to market shell products In the nearest'
city, thus minimizing transportation
cost. ,-
Georgia abounds in rich and fertile
soli, from the foot of the Blue Ridge
mountains to the Atlantic const. It
lias been successfully demonstrated that
potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, asparagus,
eggplant, beans, hay; corn, sugarcane,
apples, peaches, pears, pecans, Etc. ns
fine as ever grew can be produced not
only in Georgia, but In- the Carollnns,
Florida and Alabama. For cxamplci
As o'result; of industrial work around

Park,, during the summer approximate
ly 80,000 crates of bc'nns, tomatoes,cu
cumbers nnd potntoed were grown and

Because-the individual fnfiner cannot"

"One of the moat (aspiring develop
ments of the prevalent cotton crisis la
the south Is tlic manner in which south
ern railroads und general transporta
tion agencies nre multiplying agencies
already active, to tlic end of encourag
ing the farmer to diversify, to reduce
cotton, acreage and, in larger terms to
aid the south in finding a way out of
the problem that confronts it. An il
lustration is'found in a communication,
published ■ elsewhere, from I. M. Cox,
industrial agent of the Southern Ex
press company. To Mr. Cox's propa
ganda Is traceable thp growth and ship
ment, now proceeding, of 80,000 cratea
of beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and po
tatoes from that rich section of Geor
gia around Cornelia, Mount Airy and
Tallulah Park. The Southern Express
company Is helping the growers find ■
market for all this truck. This is con
structive work of the most practical
type. It is upon such efforts,' founded
primarily upon . reduction of cotton
acreage, that the State and the south
must depend for a solution of the un
precedented difficulties of this year and
next year.
Mr. Cox further shows what Tha
Constitution has always contended, and
that is that the United States parcel
post and <he express companies would
co-operate In ' stimulating relations be
tween producer nnd consumer. Fur
nishing reciprocal lists to these two
classes new and profitable markets
arc.being opened up to the farmers.of
the southern states.
.Every important railroad In the
southern states is engaged in work along
similar lines, and the European war
has caused them to intensify their ef
forts. Tho Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic is not one of the largest • nr?
riers in the south, but it is and has been
one of the most active, proportionately,
in this direction. Its campaign calling
attcntloln to tlic possibilities of the soil
of Its territory, nnd Its practical de
monstrations to. tho farmers along its
lines, is having telling effect. In.
communication published recently in
The Constitution W. R. Tucker, farm
ers’ co-operative agent Of this system,
pointed out the results being accom
plished along, these lines. ’ The Seaboard -.
Air Line, is another.' active factor in
this field. It Is lit present impressing
upon the south and the nation that the •

/f^HEAP coffee is a poor investment. There’s plenty of it on the

mouth and harms the system? We sell only good coffee.
It’s cheapest in the end because it gives satisfaction.
