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.!
