Big Celebration Is
Planned May 25 By
Road Enthusiastics
Macon, Ga., April 28.—Highway
enthusiastics from all over Georgia
are to stage their biggest celebration
May 25th, when two monster motor
cades will meet near the center of
the state’s longest of paved highway
to officially cement North, and South
Georgia. Counties through which
this 141 miles of concrete passes will
be hosts at the party which will cele
brate Georgia’s great achievement.
One motorcade of South Georgians
will form at Perry early in the morn
ing of May 25th and proced north
ward through Macon, Forsyth, Barnes
ville and Griffin, while a second from
North Georgia will start from Mariet
ta, moving South through Atlanta ,
and Jonesboro. The two parties will
meet at the Spalding County line
abveo Griffin, where a final shovel
ful of concrete will be poured to
complete the paving.
“Everyone in Georgia is invited to
join these motorcades”, said Hor
aance N. Mitchell, General Chair- '
man. “The celebration is not to pro
mote any one route through this
state, and those counties along any
highway which can connect with this
paving and thus make motoring more
pleasant are urged to arrange for
large delegations to represent their
route. Any banners and noise-mak
ing devices desired may be used. The
Dixie Highway counties have already
announced their intention of bring
ing along a big delegation, accom
panied by a sixty-piece band, and we
hope other routes will take the same
initiative. We want everyone in
Georgia to patricipate in Georgia’s
I biggest motorcade and general high
way celebration.”
J The mayor of each county site in
the state is being asked to become
general chairman for his county and
to encourage as many citizens as pos
sible to join the motorcades either at
their beginning, or somewhere along
the line of march.
Newspaper representatives and
newsreel photographers will be along
to photograph the celebrations and
to broadcast to the world that Geor
gia mud is a thing of the past in one
portion of the state, at least.
“Are you a Gentile Protestant?
Dou you want to represent a com
bination Fraternal and Political or
ganization in your Community?
Can you advance $115.00 to a pro
pogation fund embodying these prin
copals?
Do you have a few' friends who will
follow your leadership?
*7 so, how many?

tion possible.

on your part, and your answer will be j

“IF YOU EAT—
BUY G E 0 R GIA
RAISED FOODS”
GEORGIANS CAN RESTORE IT’S
FARMS TO PROSPERITY AND
IMPROVE BUSINESS IN TOWNS
AND CITIES BY BUYING GEOR
RAISED FOODS.
To the housewives, the clubwomen,
the Parent-Teacher Association mem
i
bers, the Service Star Legionaries,
the mothers, the wives, the hotel
keepers and restaurant proprietors—
, to all purchasers of food in Georgia,
. we offer this slogan:
“If you Eat—Buy GEORGIA-Rais
; ed Food.”
At no time in its modern history
until now has Georgia used its soil
and climate for raising the food
which its people consumed.
Instead, Georgians have raised
. Cotton and bortght their food from
other states where the soil and cli
mate are less favorable to the growth
of these foodstuffs than in Georgia.
. of these foodstuffs than in Georgia.
This practice of raising cotton and
. buying food has now brought disas
ter to Georgia’s agriculture. Cotton
is selling for less than its production
cost in Georgia. Since agriculture is
the basis of Georgia’s economic
structure, this means that the whole
: state —and the cities and towns in
I especial—are feeling the business ef
fects of the short-sighted farming
1 system which was followed here for
so long.
The Georgia Association, which
has done so much to bring about a
change in our farming system and to
bring the city and town business man
and banker to the support of the
I farmer, knows from actual exper
ience right here in Georgia that the
Cow-Hog-Hen plan will restore Geor
gia’s agriculture to prosperity.
Due to the work o fthe Association
(which in turn was only possible
' |
support it received from the news
paper editors of the State) the Cow-
Hog-Hen program has been put into
effect THIS YEAR—NOW!—on num
erous farms in every county. This
means that more butter, more eggs,
more poultry, more pork, more vege
tables are being produced on Georgia
farms than ever before.
The townspeople and city-dwellers
of Georgia must BUY THIS FOOD.
They are spending easily $200,000,-
000 annually on the types of food
which these farms are now produc
ing. In other words, the cities and
towns of Georgia right now offer
an existing market for far more such
produce than Georgia will be able to
raise this year or next year or for
some years to come.
It sems to The Week that there is
a solemn obligation on the part of'
the city folk of Georgia to give the
fractional part of their patronage to !
Georgia products necessary to assure j
their consumption.
It will be said—and with some !
truth —that Georgia products do not
-in some instances measure up to com
peting products; that some eggs are
not standardized or that the various
products are not put up as carefully
or properly as is necessary. It is a
just criticism, and it must be met by
the farmers.
But, meantime, it is th ebelief of
The Week that the city folk might
forego somewhat their exactions and
buy Georgia-raised food simply be
cause it is Georgia-raised food and
because the sale of that food is es
sential to restoring the farms to
prosperity and—if for no other rea
son—because it is essential to restore
he farms to somewhat prosperous
state before the cities can have full
measure of prosperity.
Georgia has been raising cotton;
her farmers are somewhat amateur
ists at raising food in a large way for
market. The change-over from cot
ton is revolutionary. Economic ma
chinery must be established. There
must be help (and we do not mean
legislation or charity) all along the
line. There must be sympathetic
co-operation. There must be good
sportsmanship.
In 1925 Georgia failed by 45 mil
lion pounds to raise the butter which
its people consumed. It consumed
0 million pounds, of which it raised
> million and bought 45 million,
.’he money thus spent outside the
tate amounted to $18,000,000.
A few of its other expenditures,
mtside Georgia, listed by products
were:
For beff $18,600,000
For pork 29,700,000
For eggs h 8,750,000
For poultry 6,760,000
For corn 16,794,752
For hay 61,620,000-
Ignoring hay and grain—which
rank as farm problems and are taken
care of directly by the Cow-Hog-Hen
plan—it is seen that Georgia herself
offers an $82,000,000 market for such
staples as are listed above. Think
what a change just this sum would

“Better Homes Week”
Is To Be Observed
Throughout Nation!
Washington, D. C., April 28.—The ,

Commerce, Herbert Hoover, who is
president of Better Homes in Ameri
ca, today made the following state
ment regarding this nationwide pro
gram:
| “More than 3500 local committees
invite the American people to join in
observing “Better Homes Week”
from April 24 to May 1. These volun
tary groups are doing much to ad
vance improved housing, home ow
nership, and the art of home making
and thus giving the American home
more nearly the place which it
should have in American life. They
have made so fine a contribution to
the welfare of their communities and
of the Nation as to deserve the grati
tude of every one of us.
The committees have a record of
five years of sound, practical
achievement behind them. The homes
The homes exhibited each year
have represented striking advance in
tic quality, with a steady liwering in
convenience, attractiveness and ar
average cost. Last year’s demonstra
tion houses cost, on an average, less
than SSOOO to build. The progress
from year to year in obtaining bet
ter results from money put into the
homes, and their furnishing and
equipment should be comparable to
the progress in any of the most rapid
ly developing fields of American en-
Better Homes committees are offer
ginering or industry. The 3500 local

building which is a real practical
service to the people of America.
Last year a total of more than four
million people participated in the ex
hibitions and programs and I hope
that number may be exceded this
year.”
