!U. 8. Department of Agriculture—
Synopsis of Weather and Crop Con
ditions in Georgia for the Week End
ing Tuesday July 18, 1922.
Atlanta, Ga., July 19, 1922.—0 n the
whole the weather during the past
week was rather favorable for the
progress of vegetation, in spite of the
fact that rain is needed in numerous
places, while there was a little too
much in others. The weather was
hot and sultry in the south. In most
places conditions were favorable for
cultivation, and most crops continu
ed clean and well worked. The con
dition of many crops is naturally be
coming more diversified. Cotton
made rather good growth during the
week, and some correspondents in
the central-southern portions even
state that the weed is too large, but
in the north plants are still mostly
small. Bolls are forming well, and
have begun to open in the extreme
south. 801 l weevil continue active,
but the damage is apparently greatest
in the northern half of the State.
Early corn has mostly been laid by:
, late corn is poor, but improving some
what; fodder pulling has begun in
the south* Sweet potatoes continue
to do well, and are generally in splen
did condition; in the south some are
being dug for home consumption.
Planting fall white potatoes is begin
ing. Where there have been showers
pastures remain fine, but in most sec
tions it has been rather dry and
grass is turning brown. All minor
crops, as peanuts, sugar-cane,
sorghum, rice and tobacco made good
progress; tobacco is being cut and
cured. Planting fall gardens is under
way. Peach shipments are nearly
completed. Scuppernong grapes are
doing well. Pecans are dropping bad
ly. A few severe local storms were
reported during the week in northern
counties.
A TONIC
Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic restores
Energy and Vitality by Purifying and
Enriching the Blood. When you feel its
strengthening, invigorating effect, see how
it, brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic is simply
Iron and Quinine suspended in syrup. So
pleasant even children like it. The blood
needs QUININE to Purify it and IRON to
Enrich it.* Destroys Malarial germs and

FINANCE AND BUSINESS
By B. C. Forbes
Is business recovery genuine,
In these days of skepticism it is
gratifying to learn of one large in
dustrial company which is working
three shifts every week day. Yester
day I ran across W. O. Rutherford,
vice-president of the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company, and extracted from
him a lot of very encouragaing in
formation concerning changed condi
tions which have been taking place
in the rubber industry, >nd about the
unusualy bright prospects for com
ing months.
When the general business collapse
befell, what happened throughout the
rubber industry was this. A great
many small concerns of mushroom
growth got into grave financial difficul
ties. When the standard rubber com
panies began to reduce their forces
very drastically, quite a number of
trained men were able to pick up
these small bankrupt concerns for
to nothing, and as raw material
was abnormally cheap, they began to
supply goods at very low prices.
This competition naturally erected
the large companies, with the con
sequence that tire and other rubber
goods prices were reduced to levels
which gave consumers extraordinary
value. This pinpricking competition,
however, is becoming less and less of
a factor, as the big companies met the
low prices namea by these transient
competitors.
What will chiefly interest the pub
lie, however, is the extent of the im
provement already enjoyed and the
improvement winiin sight for this bas
ic industry. That the rubber indus
try is a basic industry will be readily
realized when it is considered that
rubber enters into every form of trans
portation as well as into many
othe r lines of trade—surgical
goods, footwear, railway trains, street
cars, aeroplanes, automobiles, ibug-

Read these facts and figures con
cerning the extraordinary revival in
Goodrich’s activity, facts and figures
which are the more significant and im
pcrtant, because they doubtless re
flect recovery in the business of other
leading rubber companies:
Last month’s sales increased approx
imately 150 per cent, over April’s
Compared with last year, May busi
ness practically doubled.
Sales of cord tires since January
of this year are double those of the
five months of last year.
At this moment sales are running
at the largest volume in the com
pany’s long history.
Although three shifts are worked
in both tire and tube departments,
unfilled orders are piling *up from
both dealers and manufacturers —the
company now has 3,500 active deal
ers throughout the country and
Goodrich tire are today standard
equipment for over sixty different
cars.
* Export sales this year have been
running approximately 400 per cent
ahead of a year ago.
Footwear sales this year are 50 per
cent better than in 1921.
The company estimates that June,
July and August demand will exceed
production by from 25 to 30 per cent.,
thus making serious inroads into re
serve stocks.
Sales of mechanical rubber goods,
regarded in the trade ns a trust
worthy barometer of business, have
so increased as to require production
on some lines within 11 per cent of
the peak capacity established in 1919
Investigations have revealed that
stocks of tires are unusually
low, so that the boom which the auto
mobile business is now enjoying—a
boom which has reached proportions
beyond all expectations—is immediate
ly reflected by the rushing in of larg
er orders to the manufactcrers.
These are very substanital and very
significantiai andd dehfnp
significant figures, are they not?
Mr. Rutherford brought up one bas
is thought which will interest you.
“There are” he said, “nearly as many
cars in our city of Akron, Ohio, as
there are in some foreign countries.
The whole of Japan has only about
8,000 cars. The reason? A tax of
$442 is imposed. Why? Because the
ruling classes are not anxious to have
the ordinary people ride in motor cars
“In this wonderful country of ours
every sensible citizen wants hasten
the day when every industrious work
man will be able to afford at least a
modest automobile. Production of the
lowest-priced cars is greater today
than ever before in our history. This
means the steady development of a
broader and broader market for tires
an dother automobile equipment.
“Who, therefore, can long remain
pessimistic over the rubber on automo
bile industry in this remarkable
land?”
Incidena.lly, all authorities look
for higher prices for raw rubber
once the surplus supplies, stimulated
bv the fancy prices ruling during the
war, have been worked off. This,
however, may take some months long
er . Meanwhile every user of an au
tomobile is getting the biggest value
he ever got for money he spends on
tires.

AMERICAN LE6ION
POSTS IK CHINA
Canton, China, July 16.—China’s
third American Legion post has just
been organized here, the others being
at Shanghai and Pekin. In spite of
the difficulty that the American com
munity of Canton is small and scat
tered, the post was formed without
the aid of national or departmental
legion officials.
The 30 members include bankers
missionaries, tobacco salesmen, civil
and mining and electrical engineers,
automobile and oil men, and sailors
from a U. S. gunboat. There were
two Chinese members, one an instruc
to r in the College of Agriculture, the
other a government radio operator.
Five-sixths of the post have not pre
viously been members of the Ameri
can Legion.
The head of the Canton post is Com
mander Alfred H. Holt, formerly of
Lake Forest, Wis., and now a profess
or of the Contan Christian College.

In time of kidney danger, Doan's

Plenty of of Waynesboro evidence
of their worth.
W. W. Royal, carpenter, 512 7th
St., E., Waynesgoro says: “I strain
ed my back lifting heavy timbers and
as a result I suffered with backache.
I had a continual hurting in the
small of my back and I could hardly
get up or down. I certainly was in a
bad condition. I passed the kidney
secretions too often and they burned
in passage. I also had severe pains
in the back or my head. I read about
I)oanss Kidney Pills and bought some
at Johnston’s Drug Store. Three box
es of Doan’s cured me. My back be
came as sound as a dollar and my
1 kidneys acted like clockwork. The
headaches left, too.”
