i\Oi SOiL bUT GOLD
The soil loss of Georgia amounts
every year to approximately $37,-
584,000.00. This represents enough
gold dollars to build a system of
paved roads connecting all the coun
ties of the state, and it totals three
and a half times the amount we now
spend annually through all agencies
for public education. It "aggregates
more than four times the gross reve
nues of the state and it would pay
our public indebtedness off more
than six times over, leaving a re
spectable surplus in the state ireas
urv.
Titus, it is not soil but gold our
/
rivers are can,, mg .o tile sea. -t
our one permanent resource that is
being mined year by year, and even
though we ore a prosperous peop e
can not go on indefinitely. The
world is crying for food and ever,
thing possible should be done to keep
every acre at at the highest stage of
production. To this end we mm :
practice, as has been stated before,
deep plowing, crop rotation, the use
of cover crops, the establishment of
permanent pastures, and the ref ore
tation of the hillsides. This will re
duce our soil losses to a minimum.
Alfalfa grows well on the Pied
mont soils of north Georgia. There
are thirty 1 three acres os the farm ef

culture, and many smaller
scattered all over Clarke

FAST LIVE-STOCK TRAINS
PUT OF BY SOUTHERN
i Atlanta, Oa., ,1 one—Two fast
live stock trains to run every day in
the year from Atlanta and Chatta
nooga to Potomac Yards, Va., with
connecting sen ice from Danville to
Richmond, have just been established
by the Southern Rr.:lw:y System to
provide for the constantly increasing
traffic in live stock and other perish¬
ables moving fro in the uth to Eas
tern markets and Virgirya feeding
grounds.
How this traffic has grown is in¬
j dicated by the fact that this service
was first established in 1012 to run
once a week to serve a limi ed terri¬
tory in East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina during the fall
months. The territory was gradually
kidened and in 1916 the service was
made daily during the fall months.
Now the entire Sou h is to be served
through the trains rting from At
Santa and Cna 000 ,ga and the trains
are to run throughou: tiie year. They
wilt handle only live stock and box
j cars containing high class through
1 freight and will be moved through
intermediate terminals without be.
ing broken up.
Including the time for feeding and
resting at Spencer, these trains pro¬
vided schedule of 52 hours from At
lanta to Potomac Yards and 61 hours
from Chattanooga to Potomac Yards,
as follows:
Leave Chattanooga 8 AM (Cen
t ra ] Time), Knoxville 4 PM, Ashe- i
-jj 4;30 AM. arrive Spencer 1:30
PM. I
Leave Atlanta 5 TM (Central
Time), Greenville 5:30 AM, arrive
Spencer 3:30 l’M.
Leave Splicer 11:20 PM, Danville
! 5:30 AM, Monroe 11 AM, arrive
(Potomac Yards 10 PM A Eastern
• Time).
Leave Danville 5:30 AM (Eastern
I Time), arrive Richmond 2:30 PM
(Eastern Time).
KNOW THY COST
Ascertaining your cost in an ap¬
proximate way is so easy that it is
surprising few of the smaller print
; ing plants know what their overhead
expenses really are.
If every printer, whether he prints
a newspaper or a visiting card, would
stop and talk it over with himself
he would decide that there is no ex
cuse m all the wide world for him
to print a piece of literature and sell
it for less than it has cost him to pro
duce.
Too often, especially in a small
shop, the printer is ashamed to tell
his neighbor that one card will cost
him a dallar or a dollar and a quar¬
ter. The card is such a little thing in
itself and the piece of pasteboard it
is printed on cost so very little
when he thinks about it as
only part of one sheet out of a
bundle of 500 sheets, that it embar
rasses him to charge even what it
actually costs him to handle the job.
The fellow who has to make a
living out of a small printing office
IS unjust to the lamily dependent
I upon him for support if he fritters
away his time on these little jobs
and makes a present of them to his
friends and neighbors. It costs him
in actual time and money at least
| seventy-five cents to turn out that
J dollar job. Let him think of it in
| terms of "six bits” and decide wheth
: ■ er his grocer "would scorn a sale of
j that size, whether his shoemaker
j would be ashamed to charge him for
la pair of rubber heels—less valuable
j in what they represent than that one
] card—and whether his merchant
would refuse to charge him anything
[for a pair of slippers because they
are worth only 85 cents. None of
these is embarrassed where the
■
charge is even as small as a single
'jitney and the printer shouldn’t be
so much prouder than these other
■
business men all around Jiim.
j Much of the time of a busy “little
printer” is frittered away on just
suc h jobs for he is usually the only
one j n his line in the town and all the
“thank you ft jobs come his way as u
matter of course. But when he be¬
gins to probe into what he is paying
himself for his own time and what
costing him hour to 1 own
it is every
his shop and whtlt his rent and tele¬
phone and lights and water and post
eftice box rent and stationery and
everything else that is essential to
the business, are costing him by the
hour, he awakens, stiffens his back
bone, charges what is ri^'ht AND
INVARIABLY GETS MORE BUSJ
NESS.
Note that fact, please! The man
doesn’t lose any business HE GETS
MORE, That is another fact very ~
easily demonstrated. Almost anyone
has an example or two right around
him. Perhaps it isn’t in the printing
business, hut when the printer really
gets awake he sees that from a busi
ness standpoint there’s isn’t an iota
of difference between a greengrocer
and a printer. And somewhere in his
range of vision is a live wire who
figures his cost and gets it with a
little profit before he lets loose of
good time and goods!
t Don’t be afraid of the public!
hv, bless your life, the people of
is country are just like they always
were They would rather trust them
.
selves to a prosperous prjntshop that
: turning out good work and chtu
gmg a good profit for doing it, than
to leave their job in a dirty, dark,
slipshod shop that promises to do the
same work for half the money.
You’re that way yourself, and su.-ely
you don’t think you’re a freak. Put
vourself in the other fellow’s place.
How would you feel if your grocer
should refuse to make a charge qf.
two pounds of cheese because he is
too proud to deal in such figures or
because he thinks the price is higher
than you can really at lord to pay?
Don’t make your customer and your¬
self teel small together over a jab.
Figure what it costs, add your P* 0 ' ■t
fit, and tell your customer, If he
doesn’t want it at that price, neither
of you has lost anything. If you sell
it to him for xactly one-half what
it costs to make it, he’ll very likely
say you made a good profit. Bear in
that he doesn’t know, but that it is ,
your business to know, and, if you
don’t know, find out quick before
you give away your suspenders and
earmuffs.—The Business Printer.
