725 Tech Students
Working Way Thru
i
SCHOOL ACCORDING TO PROF.
FLOYD FIELD, DEAN OF MEN AT
THE INSTITUTION. WORKING
STUDENTS ARE WELCOMED.”
ATLANTA, Ga., More than forty
percent, or in round figures about 725
of the 1776 students registered at
Georgia Tech this year are working
their way either entirely or in parts
through school, according to figures
compiled by Professor Floyd Field,
Dean of Men at the Institution. Os
this number about 250, including the
144 students registered in the co-op
erative course in engineering, are
paying their way almost completly
through Tech on money they earn
outside of class hours.
According to Professor Field this is
an unusually large number of men
who can find time to earn sufficient
money to pay for their college course
in full or in part, since the courses in
engineering are of such ah igh schol
astic standard that the study neces
sary takes up a larger amount of time
than the courses in academic institu
tions. Yet among the class of work
ing students are the names of many
prominent in student activities as well
as in the c'.ass room and on the grid
iron. In addition a considerable per
cent of the Honor Roll, which includes
the highest ten per cent of students in
scholarship, is composer, of the work
ing students.
College officials give every possible
encouragement to the students work
ing their way through the institution,
and through he cooperation of Dr. M.
L. Brittain, president of Tech, and
the Georgia Tech Y. M. C. A., many
jobs in many different lines or em- ,
R oyment are obtained for the stu
dents. (According to Dr. Brittain, ;
Georgia Tech is a school for training
students who are eligible regardless
°f their financial ability, and every
Possible assistance is given those
whose funds are insufficient to pay
tor their education.
“Working students are welcomed at
Tech,” according to Dr. Brittain, ‘‘for
the aim of the school is to train men
for work in the industrial develop
ment of Georgia, and we are proud of
students who are willing to work
their way fully or in part through our
fe'.’eat technical institution,”

Business Condition
Better Than In 2 Yrs.
MONTHLY REVIEW SAYS GENERAL
TRADE CONDITIONS ARE BET
TER THAN IN OVER TWO YEARS.
COTTON CROP LARGER.
•' r " '
Business conditions in the sixth fed
earl reserve district at the present
time are better than they have been
at any time in more than two years,
according to The Monthly Business
Review, a journal published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
The sixth district includes all of
Georgia, parts of Tennessee, Missis
ippi, and Lousiana, and all of Ala
bama, and Florida, and clearly Indi
cates that business in the southeast
ern states is thriving and fast ap
proaching that condition decribed as
normal.
Commenting on the industrial and
econmic situation in the territory em
braced in the sixth federal reserve dis
trict, the journal says:
“While the coal and ralroad strkes
have been settled, the effects of both
are stll being felt, and will be felt
for some time to come. Coal prices
are high, and this fact is having the
effect of retarding industrial activity
to some extent, while railroad equip
ment, both cars and locomotive, is in
had shape and difficulties of trans
poration are being experienced in all
lines of industrial and commercial
activity where the shipment of com
modities is an important' factor.
“Retail trade, reported by repre
sentative department stores through
out the sixth district, was larger in
the aggregate during September than
in the same month last year. This
is the first time in many months that
sC.ase have shown an increase over the
corresponding month a year earlier,
and may be taken as the definite
turning point toward a better volume
of business. Wholesale trade in Sep
tember in this district was not quite
up to that of August, especially in
those lines highly seasonal, but the
decreases reported were all small, and
six of the eight lines under investi
gation reported Increase over Septem
ber 1921. Transportation difficulties
are responsible in part for the lack
of activity.
Cotton Crop Larger
“The financial return from the agri
cultural crops of the district this year
will exceed that of last year by a sub
stantial amount, although in some sec
tions some of the crops produced have
not equalled those of last year in ac
tual volume. The cotton crops is
larger than last year in each state
In this district except Tennessee and
the higher price prevailing will show
a substantallv higher return to this
section than was received for the 1921
crop. Reports from different parts
of the district indicate that the crop
is being picked, ginned and marketed
more rapidly this year than was the
case last year, and the statement pub
lished by the census bureau showing
cotton ginned, shows that 3,833,006
hales of the present crop had been
ginned prior to September 25th, 1922.
while only 2,920,392 bales had been
ginned up to that time In 1921. The
banks are amply provided with funds
for crop moving and harvesting, and
report considerably increased depos
its at the end of September in com
parison with the same period last
year.

ATTRACTIVE WINDOW AT

The main show window at S. I. Hus
sey & Son’s hardware store is very
attractively dressed with the well
know paint of Sherwin-Williams Co.
The window has attracted a lot of at
tention because of the fact that it con
tains nothing but paint and it is so
arranged that it brings out the idea
of “Paint up and Clean Up.”
Great Demand For
Calcium Arsenate
EXPECTED GEORGIA WILL USE
TEN MIILION IBS. IN 1923. COM.
BROWN ARRANGING TO OBTAIN
ADEQUATE SUPPLY.
ATLANTA, Ga.,—Georgiai n 1923
will in all probability use more than
10,000,000 pounds of calcium arsenate
to fighe :],e boll weevil. Or. the 1922
cotton cron, through the agricultural
department, about 4,500,000 pounds
were distributed, and its successful
use, under scientific direction, has
brought a flood of inquiries relative
to the arrangements for next year.
Commisioner Brown, who is also
head of the state board of Entomoli
gy, through which calcium arsenate
is handled, has called a meeting of
that board, to be held in his office Wed
nesday to take up the matter of ar
ranging to contract for the supply
to be made available to the Georgia
cotton growers for the next crop. The
hoard, under the state law, contracts
for the supply, which is distributed
to the farmers of the state at actual
cost.
A sharper interest is being mani
fested in this prospective contract, by
the manufacturing concerns, than ever
before, due probably to the fact that
it will be the largest contract for
calcium arsenate ever offered for bid
ding.
In 1919 the Georgia farmers were
advised to use the calcium arsenate to
fight the boll weevil, the state board
of entomology having made success
ful experiments with it. Compara
tively few farmers tried it, and only
some of these were successful, due to
the lack of knowledge of handling the
stuff.
In 1920 more specific instructions
were given and the directions of the
board were more closely followed, the
result being a much greater success.
In 1921 the Legislature gave the
board authority to make a contract
for a large supply and to distribute
It to the farmers at actual cost. That
meant an even more intensive and de
tailed campaign of Instructions and
the goods distributed at the rate of
nine cents per pound, in lots, f. o. b.
Savannah and Atlanta for 1922. The
increased use of the goods was so
great that at times It was hard to find
a sufficient supply to meet the demand
and the attendant success was equal
in the production of cotton.
During the year the results were
even better than the previous year,
inquiries which now are being re
ceived for the 1923 supply lead the
state board of entomology to believe
that the demand will be for at least
10,000,000 pounds.
There wij'.l also be given considera
tion, in making the contract this year,
to the suggestion that storage ware
houses for the bulk handling of the
goods be located this time at more
than two points, and as far as practi
cable the board will arrange for cen
tral distribution at just as many
points as can be arranged.
