Ll.lJ :fl r .4, Atlanta, Ga., September 21, 1917'. Editor Douglas County Sentinel, 1! Douglasville, Ga.: Dear Sir—We note editorial in your last issue with reference fo the great need of a marketing company in your city and county, and we wish to advise yon of the plan proposed by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, and being carried out with marked success by a number of counties in the state: Have the business men and prominent citizens form a ware house company for storing food products, the warehouse to be in charge of a competent man who will- make a small charge for storage, assembling, standard izing, etc., issuing a receipt to the farmer for the goods stored. The warehouse company will agree to advance the farmer a small amount on his storage receipt. The company need not actually put up any money, hut underwrite it for from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The warehouse company, with the assistance of the warehouse man, will seek outside markets for the products stored in the warehouse, in carload lots, J'' - *'''- ing the goods in storage sii >.ur prices and selling when the de mand is good. The Georgia Chamber of Com merce will assist all possible in finding a market for prodacts by putting the buyer and s-tktr iu close touch with each other. Please call on us when we can he of service to you. Faithfully yours, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, G. V. Kelley;, Assistant Secretary, Good Cattle for Georgia Current newspaper articles announce shipments, already begun, of nearly 9,000 Short horns and other varieties of high grade cattle for breeding pur poses, from Texas to various points in Georgia. The Department of Agriculture calls attention to the fact that tick-free cattle are being shipped only to"Georgia counties which have been freed of the tick. Tick-infested counties cannot afford to get these splendid cattle for breeding purposes, and ran only buy from tick-infested terri tory. They may get some fair stock, but cannot hope to get the same splendid quality of breed ing cattlejthat comes from the tick-sections ofjTexas and other statas. Every Georgia county wants the best, and to get it there is only one thing to do—Get rid of the cattle tick at once l ji.!* $ World's LojQest CansL ' J great c*nal of China is >° n « - —— .'likfflato J
