McMillan, colored physisian and representative - member of the substantial -class of colored citizens in Ftzgerald, appeal : ing® to the City Council to provide \-jdequate fire protection for the eastern ‘sgrtion of the city. The Leader made ’::ditorial note of the conditions men tioned by Dr. McMillan yesterday, and s glad to publish his letter as follows: Editor Leader: ‘Dear Sir: Will you allow this, another appeal from me to his honor the Mayor and City Council Council and the Water, Light and Bond Commission for some protection against the loss of proper ty by fire? The fire Sunday night was just a repetition of what happened gbout two years ago when six houses were burned to the ground while the firemen looked on powerless to assist for the lack of water. To the officers of. Fitzgerald above mentioned, one and all, gentlemen, in the name of justice and for the pro tection of property and could be life, I for all the people east of the Sea board railroad appeal to you for the protection negded. I will leave it to Fitzgerald to say whether the negro citizens of the city are loyal -to their obligations or not. If they are then they should at least have protection against needless loss by fire. Again I pray you gentlemen in power to carefully weigh this mat ter and see if you can not give some relief in this section of the city. ' Yours very truly, J. H. McMillan, M. D. Announcement!

J. Brown announces that a careful investigation made by the State Board of Entomology to gether with its staff of cotton special ists shows that on a conservative basis, the cost of producing the 1921 cotton crop will be 28 cents per pound. In this estimate, Commissioner Brown states, the present prices of fertilizers, calcium arsenate and. other essential materials were taken into considerasion, and the farmer ‘was allowed a wage only about half that paid labor by various corpora tions over the country. Normal sea sons and no more than usual ravages by the boll weevil, were also con sidered. . “How can our farmers afford to plant a cotton crop under these com ditions, and when the sales now be ing made by the exchanges for 'fa.llJ delivery, are at a price just one half; of the known cost of production of this season’s crop?” : Millions Trying. b “Millions of people,” we qucte from | the motion-picture advertising, “can write stories and photoplays and don’t Enow {t.”. We have no wish to quarrel with the assertion. We merely suggest that those responsible for the motion pictures get hold of some of them, our contention being that those now writing for the motion-picture drama cannot do it.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

R GEORGIA FARMERS \ Lack of Proper Distribution Sys tem Causes Trouble NEED ORGANIZATION While Barns Overflow in Some Section; Others in Want ATLANTA, March 10.—Georgia’s farmers are in the doldrums. Pessi mism is the outstanding feature. * And it is hanging like a gloom cloud over practically every farm house in thel State, declares John S. Dennee, crop statistician for the Georgia Co-oper ative Crop Reporting Service, a com bination of the forces of the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates and the Georgia Department of griculture, in a statement handed to the press to day. The statistician predicts his opin ions upon hundreds of reports received by him recently from farmers in every part of the State. The text of his re marks follows: Money for farm operations‘is hard to obtain. Many farmers cannot get it at all. Seed and labor are high. Commercial fertilizers are offering at prices practcally the same as prevailed during the World War. The farmers declare they cannot pay these prices. Retailers of articles used on the farm are, in general, unreasonable in their demands. Farm products are selling ‘at pre-war prices. It must be plain enough from all this that the farmer cannot farm on the present basis of things and make ends meet. Not a few of the farmers say that financially they are down and out. Must Turn For Better. There must be a turn for the better and soon, from the farmers point of view. Unless there is there is going to be thousands and thousands | of Georgia’s best acres lying idle this year. The farmers need and must have substantial help. Considerable cotton has been sold since the first of the year and at low prices. The producer has been a very heavy looser. The time is fast ap proaching when preparations must be made to plant the next crop. Most farmers are without funds. And they cannot secure credit from the mer chant or bank that made them advan ces last year. Result, they are selling for 11 cents or thereabouts Cotton which cost them approximately 30 cents to make. : Need Organization. Year after year hundreds of Geor gia farmers have demonstrated a unique capacity for working for the cotton speculator. In a measure lack of farm organization and effective mar keting methods rendered this fatality inevitable. But if the farmers are to be believed, this year things are going to be different. Most farmers say they are going to slash the acreage anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent and plant food stuffs instead.

It is amazing how many cot ton farmers have awakened to the re alization that if they want to work for nothing and get deeper into debt, the' sure way to do it is to plant this year a normal acreage to cotton. Many farmer’s reports say that the boll weevil has survived the mild win ter and is already mobilizing to com mence activities. | Thousands and thousands of bushe]sl of peanuts, velvet beans and sweet po-. tatoes are reported on the farms a‘ndl cannot be disposed of 'at any price. A market for this surplusage, includ-; ing cotton, is the crying need | Distribution System Bad. s More wheat, corn and oats from the old crop reamined on Georgia farms March Ist this year than on the same date a year ago. There is a woeful shortage reported nevertheless, in lo calities, and many counties are ship ping in consilerable quantities of these grains to tide the farmers over the ‘winter. l The area planted to wheat is about ‘ten per cent over that planted last win .ter, and the condition of the crop is good. There is a slight decrease in the acreage planted to rye. The acreage planted to tobacco in Southern Georgia promises to be as large or larger than that of last year. An average decline of about 30 per lcent has been sustained in farm land ‘values, the farmers say, due to the low lpriccs of farm products and no de mand for farm lands just now. Not ‘a few farmers are reported as quitting the farms because they cannot pay the cash rents demanded and the land owners are unwilling to accept cotton as rent, per custom, Live stock on Georgia farms shrunk last year in total value about $61,394,000, or 30 per cent. This shrinkage, however, is due more to the lower value per head than decrease in numbers. : ‘ John S, Dennee : Agrcultural Statistician, Atlanta, Georgia.
