ORGANIZE FOR MARKETING.
j
At Adel the other day the sweet potato grow
ers of South Georgia gathered to perfect an or
ganization for the better marketing of this great
crop which is so easily, plentifully and universally
raised in this section and' which can become a big
commercial crop if the marketing of it is attended
to properly. The watermelon growers had been
already organized and this year’s experience in
South Georgia in the marketing of melons has dem
onstrated the wonderful good in real dollars and
rea 1 profit of co-operative organization for market
ing. says the Waycross Journal.
The question is not so much to produce crops
as it is now in this part of the country to market
the yield at a profit. There is always a market,
too and the organization must look both ways—-
it must see that the stuff is to be had, accumulated
at suitable points and in marketable form, and to
find where it is in demand and where the best
prices obtain.
The Dublin Courier-Herald, for example, says:
Give the farmers of Laurens county a
market for almost any ordinary farm pro
duct, then allow them just one season to
make a crop and they will supply the mar
ket. All we need is a place to sell what
we can make. Production will follow as
surely as the night follows the day, espe
cially if the price offered pays well.
There is the heart of the matter. The farm
ers of Bulloch county may be cited as examples of
Organiaztion for marketing watermelons. At
Denmark and at several other towns in that coun
ty the farmers organized to sell their melons anfl
they sold them for cash on the cars and got the
money. In other counties farmers have organized
with good results. In Appling county a larger
plan is proposed. The farmers met this week to
organize for the handling of whatever crops they
may make.
We want to see the farmers and business men
of this county get together and organize for the
marketing of the varied crops which can be raised
in this section. The farmers will take care of the
production end and the business men can do much
to aid them in finding markets for their products.
In this matter team work and co-operation are
going to win.

THE BUREAU OF MARKETS.
The State Bureau of Markets, operated in con
nection with the State Department of Agriculture,
is doing a great work for the farmers of the state
and we hope to see the farmers of this section
make more use of it for the coming year than they
have in the past.
Mr. W. W. Webb of Hahira, who did splen
did work in promoting co-operative sales of live
stock in Lowndes county, is one of the field repre
sentatives for the State Bureau and in scores of
localities over the state the past year has saved a
great deal of money to the farmers. At Ailey the
past spring he conducted a number of sales of car
load lots of cattle and secured much higher prices
for the cattle than the individual farmers could
have secured if sales had been in small lots.

'Hie plan upon which Mr. Webb operates is
very simple and inexpensive. A date is set for a
co-operative sale, the cattle or hogs are assembled
at a given point, are carefully graded and then are
auctioned off by Mr. Webb and bid in by the dif
ferent buyers, who are 'ready to go to any point
where carload lots can be secured, and as soon as
purchased the livestock can be loaded upon cars
for shipment.
Few farmers in this county can put a carload
of cattle or hogs on the market at one time, but
where the farmers co-operate and a dozen or more
unite, carload lots can easily be secured. And the
individual farmers who may not have put in but
three or four hogs gets the same price per pound
as he’would have secured could he have sold in car
load quantities.
With the limited funds the State Bureau of
Markets has had to operate on the past year, they
have saved the sum of S2S,OCX) over and oveT again
to the farmers of the state. Witht the appropria
tion increased to SIOO,OOO by the last legislature,
the Bureau has ambitious plans of placing a selling
agent in practically every county of the state and
will be able to greatly increase their usefulness to
the farmers.
The Bureau of Markets is organized to be of
special service to Georgia farmers and we hope the
farmers of every section will use it; will cultivate
the habit of getting together and selling their pro
ducts in carload lots. They will make money by
so doing.

THE HOG AND THE HEN.
The hog has proven himself to be a mighty
good mortgage lifter the last few years in Georgia
in the absence of big cotton crops. And along this
line the hen should not be overlooked when we go
to countitng up the important part in life she plays
in these days of boll weevils and scarcity of the
long green.
In fact, the industrious hen should be given a
large share of the credit for saving the day in
Georgia this year, when money from field crops
was not to be had and run bills were almost im
possible to negotiate. With her steady stream of
white and yellow eggs flowing into market she
has kept many a farm table supplied with flour,
sugar, coffee and other things and even provided
new dresses for the children. She sings as she
works and never loses her temper. She *works for
twelve months in the year except the few weeks
in the late summer when she is making her new
winter dress. All she asks a patch of green rye
or rape, a little dry corn or oats, a dark nest and a
place to scratch for worms. Speaking of this very
.wonderful bird the Quitman Advertiser says.
A few months ago a certain farmer in Middle
Georgia sold a hog weighing 400 pounds to the
stock yards for 5 cents per pound or S2O in all. He
had bought the hog nearly a year ago as a pig and
paid $5 for same. Counting feed and labor, his
total cost of producing the hog was approximately
sls, so that his profit'was virtually nothing.
This same farmer’s wife had, among a flock of
chickens, a common hen that was not only a good
layer, but also a good mother. During the year
she laid 204 eggs, of which 12 dozen were sold at
50 cents per dozen, bringing $3.60: 15 were eaten,
making 35 cents more, and besides she reared three
broods of chicks, totaling 39 in all. Thirty of
these were sold as broilers and friers, bringing a
total of $24. The remaining nine are now laying
eggs sufficient to supply the needs of the family.
i Thus the total produced by the hen came to $27.95.
It is doubtful if the cost of producing her and the
chicks would approximate as much as $5.
Hi! VIDALIA ADVANCE, VIDALIA, GKORCIA
TEN DAY CARDBOARD TAGS
CAN BE USED NO LONGER
Secretary McLendon has given out
the following:
The press of the state will render
a public service by calling attention
to the amendments just made to the
Motor Vehicle Law. From now on
no ten day cardboard tags can be
used at all, and it will be a violation
of the law for anyone to attempt to
operate a car under one of these
tags.
The amendment law makes it the
duty of every sheriff in the state, of
which there are 160, and of every
constable, of which there are 1700,
one in each militia district, to swear
out warrant and prosecute every vi
olator of the Motor Vehicle Law.

In other words, an army of 1860 pub
lic officer? is now charged with the
duty of enforcing this law, not only
as to tags, but as to every other re
quirement.
This law will be signed by the
Governor within a day or two and
the Secretary will, as quickly as pos
sible, have the same printed and a
copy furnished every Justice of the
Peace in Georgia and every consta
ble and every sheriff. It will not
be safe for any violator of the law
to get out of his militia distript with
an unregistered car.
The amended law also define? the
uses to which a dealer may put a
dealer’s tag. Many dealers are now
using tags unlawfully. Constables
who swear out warrants, and Justices
of the Peace who issue warrants,
will be entitled to the costs as fixed
by law in misdemeanor cases.
