. Obituary
On April 7th, 1917, Brother J
M. Whitley was called to his final
reward. He was born Nov. 12,
1853 and was married to Miss A
C. Hooker Nov. 21 1886. There
was born tothis union seven child
ren, four boys and three girls.
He joined the Baptist church at
the age of sixteen years and
lived a consistent Christian life.
He was indeed a loving hus
band and a loving father. To
know him was to love him. I
have visited the home many
times, having been his pastor
for six years, and I never visited-
a home where there seemed to
be more love and harmony than
there was in this one. He was
pleasant among his family and
they seemed very happy.
He has only paid the debt we
all must pay, and we must sub
mit to the will of God, knowing
that He dieth all things well,
and be as old Job, saying, “The
Lord giveth and the Lord has
taken away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord,”
May the richest of God’s bless
ings be upon the bereaved fami
ly and that they so live “that in
the future they may all be
gathered in that happy home
where there will be no more sick-
THE BUSINESS
HAN’S “BIT"
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
The business man is, and has al
ways been, an important and construc
tive factop'iu the life of the commun
ity. Never before in the history of
the South is he destined to play so
essentially a leading part, provided lie
rises to the opportunity and discharges
the duties, responsibilities and obli
gations resting upon him as a citizen
and patriot.
First, he should take a prominent
part ih the solution of the situation
now confronting us; to insure the
farmer a market. He must also un
dertake the financing of diversified
production, since the change to diver
sification of crops means the purchase
of new and varied implements, in*
creased applications of fertilizers, and
credit for the purchase of seeds and
machinery. Hitherto credit has been
based upon cotton production to the
exclusion of diversified crops. There
must be a modification of rent notes
and rent contracts; not that ibe cul
tivation of cotton should be eliminated 1
or unduly restricted, but that addition
al .channels of credit should be provid
ed and varied crop production pro
moted and stimulated.
Second, it is the part of the business
man to provide the necessary ma
chinery, suen as feed mills, corn grind
ers and store-houses for the preserv
ing of potatoes and other perishable
crops. At present there is every fa
cility for warehousing cotton, but no
means for holding and marketing food
crops. Whenever business men will
provide the proper facilities, diversi
fication of crops will proceed by leaps
and bounds.
Third, the business man must per
form the duty of food assembler. The
problem of food distribution cannot be
left to the individual farmer, since his
production of a certain crop is often so
small as to preclude the possibility of
marketing at a profit. On the other
hand, business men are able to as
semble the crops in small amounts
and provide for general distribution,
since they have the economy of large
shipments. This work is patriotic and
Bhould also be profitable.

This would be a grand old
country if we could be forever
rid of the chronic kickers and
grumblers. You often hear
people say we are having the
hardest time there has ever been,,
v/hen every one who wants to
look on the brighter side knows
that the country today is better
in every way than it has ever
been. We actually spend more
money today for luxuries than
we spent for necessities twenty
years ago. But the chronic .bel-
lyacher says: “No, we arej'go-
ing to destruction.” They sure
do give me a pain. W. Hy.'C.
Marketing . j
if Georgia Products 1
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Upon the business men of the state
rests the responsibility of establish
ing consuming markets for Georgia,
products, not only at home, but abroad;
also. For instance, one community
last year shipped several hundred car
loads of sweet potatoes to northern,
markets. The individual farmer can-i
not do work of this kind; the respon-‘
-sibility for organization rests with the
business men. There are several Geor
gia crops which are not appreciated in
northern and eastern markets, simply*
because there are no largo consuming
markets for these products. An organ
ized campaign in exploiting the possi
bilities of these crops would undoubt
edly react as favorably as has such!
work in connection with cotton seed
and peanut oil.
Educational forces, such as the State
College of Agriculture and its County
Demostration Agents, could promote
diversification with greater rapidity)
in Georgia and aid -in the early so-;
lution of the present food problem ifi
the business men would,- "clear the;
decks for action” with the statement,
“Go tell the farmers to grow the va
rious kinds of food needed and we will;
find acceptable markets for all they,
produce/' At present the educational)
character of the work they are called;
upon to perform separates the college;
workers in a measure from the mar
keting end of the proposition which
is strictly a business question. Unfor
tunately business men have not been
as aggressive or interested in this
line of work as they should have
been. For this reason the attempts
of our agricultural college to pro
mote diversification have often been
nullified to a considerable extent. If
the handicap is removed our agricul
tural college workers win be able to
perform a service work of the utmost
importance in the present crisis with.!
assurance of immediate results. Let!
us all stand together—our country de-j
rnanda it.
Dearest: husband, thou lias
left us. Here thy less wedeeply
feel, hut in heaven we hope to
meet thee, where no farewell
tears are shed.
Dear father, thou loss we
deeDly feel, but in heaven we
hope to meet thee in that bright
land above.
