Morris, Vice Pres. 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,” The Lyons Progress REVIVAL SERVICES AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Next Sunday, November sth, revival services wil begin at the Vidalia Pres ; byterian church and will continue i through the week and probably long er. All the members are urged to at tend these services. Rev. F. Rausch enburg, the Presbyterial Evangelist, will do the preaching. 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.

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.
