V
Farmers Urged To Save*Food Stuff.
Atlanta Journal.
All farmers in Georgia .jire ad
vised by the state department of
agriculture to proceed to save all
material on their lands that can
be stored away and used as hay or
in other forms as food for stock
during the coming winter./
Information has reached the de
partment that the hay crop as
well as the corn crop in the west
ern states is almost a total loss.
State - Entomologist Scottr re
turned to day to the capitol from
Colorado and a tour through oth
er western states where he learned
that the farmers were in anything
but a prosperous condition.
Mr. Scott stated that he learned
from the hay markets of the north
west that hay which is commonly
sold in the markets there at $5
per ton is now bringing $16.50. It
is estimated by the department
that during the coming winter and
spring hay will be sold on the
Georgia market at $25 per ton.
The recent rains it is said have
made more hay in Georgia than
has ever been known, before and
the farmers are urged to put hands
into the fields to save all of this,
as otherwise they will have to be
paying extremely high prices for
hay for the farm animals.
Corn will be correspondingly
high, it is said, and the Georgia
farmers will also have to pay tre
mendous prices for this product
if they do not save enough on
their farms to sustain the ani
mals. i
Mr. Scott reports further that
beeves, sheep and hogs are being
rushed to the market by the stock
raisers and farmers in order that
they will not have to ^ped them
through the winter, there being in
prospect such a great lack of food
that they will be able to keep the
stock only at a loss.
For this reason, it is said, that
the stock market prices are low,
owing to the great amount of cat
tle and smaller animals being
rushed upon it, but it is believed
when the farms and ranches are
depleted Of their surplus stock and
the buyers are unable to secure
the quanities they desire from the
farms the prices of fresh meat will
begin to go higher, until the home
production will be greatly in de
mand.
This information from the de
partment of agriculture has a ten
dency to show that the prices of
breadstuffs during the coming
year will be very high and home
production will bring good prices
in the market as well as save many
farmers from debt.
The Decline of Marriage.
Atlanta Constitution.
The decline of marriage has at
tracted the attention of a Mary
land clergyman, who has declared
his purpose of finding a remedy—
by lottery, if no better means can
be found.
The reverend gentleman, in ex
plaining the situation said that
his congregation of one thousand
adults which formerly had a rec
ord of eighteen marriages a year,
has now dropped to four. In look
ing for reasons for this lowering
of the marriage rate it was admit
ted that one of them was most
likely the lack of social inter
course. That there are more
women than men in the church,
and that young men are led away
from rurai places to centers of
fering better business opportuni
ties, must also account for a cer
tain percentage of the declines.
But still here is the statement ;
Here are all these young people,
some of marriageable age, and
some of more than marriageable
age.—But they are all very back-
word when it comes to marrying.
The preacher furnishes his own
answer, and it is one startling
enough:
Down at the bottom of it all
lies . the generally prevalent ten
dency toward luxurious living.
Girls are not satisfied with the
simpler style of living. Instead
of that they look forward to hav
ing homes furnished*extravagant
ly and elegantly. And the men
know they are unable to provide
the luxuries that are expected.
The demand for luxury limits
the girl’s ambitions to suitors out
of her reach, and overlooks the
men who may be the master ten
years. It leads to miserable'
strife in pursuit, and to misera
ble disappointment later on.
FREE FREIGHT FOR
COUNTY EXHIBITS.!
County exhibitors of three states,
Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina,
who intend to contest for the premiums
at the Southern Inter-State Fair to be
held in Atlanta, Ga., beginning October
9, will be sole to ship exhibits free of
cnarge overall the railroads leading into
Atlanta. This is a result of the action
of the Southeastern Freight Association
at a recent meeting held in Newport.
Immediately after the ciose^of the At
lanta fair, exhibitors in this state only
will have the privilege of shipping
county exhibits incacG to the Savan
nah fair free'of charge.
The result of this action on the part
of the railroads has been to arouse a new
interest in the two fairs. Several
counties which had not intended to ex
hibit as counties for the prizes of $3,o(H!
offered in Atlanta will take advantage
of this concession and make exhibits,
This means keener competition and a
higher class of exhibits.
Space for exhibits is rapidly being
taken up in Atlanta. Applications for
further space and information should
be addressed to Secretary T. H. Martin,

A young man who was arrested
in Chicago for playing baseball
on' the streets was sentenced by a
magistrate to save $100. The
judge argued that the youth was
an idler, and declared that the
saving sentence would be of more
moral benefit to him than a term
in jail.

Front the big entry lists so far made
up, it seems that no better poultry or

South than will be that in c

been offered in all classes—in fact the
prizes this year will be larger than ever
before, and the poultry and stock exhib
its will probably be the best ever seen in
the South. .
