THE SWEET POTATO CROP.
Every farmer in this section should
increase his acreage another year in
sweet potatoes. The demand has been
larger this year than it has been in
several years and the supply has been
reduced. This section of the state
is splendidly adapted for the growing
of sweet potatoes. The soil and cli-
matic conditions are favorable to the
growing of this much desired food
and the market price has held strong
the whole season.
The Worth county Local says:
“Sweet potatoes are bringing a good
price in tha northern markets now at
a time when the farmers of Worth
county have none to sell. Several
carloads have been shipped to New
York from different sections of
Georgia lately for which the farm
ers received a good price. The timo
is coming when no farmer in south
Georgia can afford to neglect this
crop which is growing in popularity
every year.
Commenung on the above the
Moultrie Observer has the following:
“It very often happens that way.
“If our foresight were as good as
our hindsight, we would do much
better. We could have raised the
potatoes this year but the price of
potatoes went bad a year or two ago,
and of course it was presumed that
the price would always be bad after
that. Those who had been growing
potatoes quit."
sis recent years the sweet potato
has grown to be very popular in the
north and the demand from that sec
tion of the country has been unusual
ly large. For many years the sweet
potato was scarcely known outside
the southern states, but since it has
been introduced in other sections of
the eouhtrry where the potato is not
grown it has become one of the most
-ouglU for food products.
Sweet potato growing can be made
• no of the most important industries
in the stute. It is coming to the
front and since the advent of the
curing houses the sweet potato is an
all year round food product, and
one of the most palatable and heal
thy.
INCREASED SAVINGS AC
COUNTS.
That we are a provident nation is
shown by the most recent reoprt of
the government on federal reserve
savings bank accounts. No section
bf the country reports a backward
tendency, and the south seems to be
about a.-, prosperous as any of the
other parts of the United States,
judging by the amount of money we
said away at 4 per cent with the tell
ers at the bank windows.
The Federal Reserve Board in
Washington on Saturday gave out
statistics from BSS banks to show
what we are doing in the saving line.
Just to read ’em will turn a pessimist
into an optimist—or should do so.
. avings bank deposits were 0.4 great
er oil November 1 than on October
1. and 10 per cent greater than for
lovembec 1 a year ago. That’s do
'g pretty well for a poor cotton
■ar and with cheap wheat and ..hip
ng to Europe at a low ebb. Just
hat we would have saved had condi
t:ons been normal it is difficult to
speculate upon.
The total deposits reported
imounted to $6,744,726,000 on No
i mber i, as compared with $6,717,-
'13,009 on October 1 and $6,136,-
210,000 on November 1 a year ago.
Decreases occurred during the month
only in the New York and Minneap
olis districts, and the largest increase,
><f 1.3 per cent, took place in the
Cleveland district.
Savings deposits by federal reserve
districts on November 1, 1923, are
shown in the following table. The
f ; "ures for the Boston and New York
districts are those of large mutual
savings banks, but in all other dis
tricts reports of other banks are in
cluded to make the figures represent

announcement made in Atlanta by
officials of the Atlanta, Birmingham,

H. W. Coison, chairman of the
general safety committee of the A.
B. and A. railway, said today that
communications had been addressed
to school trustees and teachers in
practically every section along the

j need for caution in preventing act i
dents. These communications are

talks on safety'.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad, Mr. Colson stated, is
deeply interested in the prevention
of ali forms of accidents and espec
ially are the officials at work to
prevent grade crossing accidents in
volving children. An instance is
cited in a distant part of the country
where school busses were struck on
grade crossings and a number of
children killed and others injured.
For the first six months of 1923,

Mr. Colson, 653 people were killed
