taxi driver, the shop girl, and the
stenographer is a California booster.
That is what makes California what
she is, and since coming here, 1 am
thoroughly and completely convinced
that Georgia, with her wonderful
possibilities as an agricultural, fruit
and live stock growing state can in
made as fumous for these things as
California is for her climate, fruits
and vegetables.
A statement that impressed me
more than any other was made to
me a few days ago by Morris M
Rathbun, manager of the publicity
department of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, when he
said;
“There is a mistaken idea gone out
from California, and especially does
this idea prevail in the East, that all
one has to do in California is to get
a few acres of land, plant oranges,
lemons, walnuts or some other such
fruit, then sit down and wait for the
money to come rolling in. We people
here have to work and we work hard,
too. This is no land for the drone.
The man who comes here and suc¬
ceeds has to dig for it just as in
other sections. H
If Georgia people could only real
tze that with the same efforts in
producing and the same scientific
marketing they could equal these
Californians, it would be the great¬
est lesson they ever learned. All a
Georgia farmer has to do is fence
his farm, clear up a few stumps and

brush and he is ready for work.
When the California farmer does
this, he is just beginning. He then
has to prepare for irrigation, be
cause you know these fertile farms
in California would be a
.vaste were it not for artificial rnois
turc. This irrigation costs from $100.
per acre up , to install, and then costs
an average of $5 to $25 per acre '
each year to keep up. The Georgia
farmer has none of this to do. Na
turc does the work for him and
does it well.
Georgia people have got to awake.
Until you come to California anil
study the obstacles they have to com¬
bat, a ml then see how well they do
overcome them and what they are
really doing her in the agricultural
and horticultural way, you cannot
appreciate the vast opportunities be
fore the Georgia farmer, We have
he sea coast, just as they have here;
,vc have the mountains, just as they
have here, and we have rich soils
hat DO NOT need irrigation to
make* them produce. All Georgia
iee( Is to be the great fruit and agri
•ultural state that California is, is
just hustle like they HAVE TO here
to make a living at all.
You may be interested to know
that an acre of Georgia pecans is
worth a great deal more to the grow¬
er than is an acre of California
oranges or lemons. An acre of Geor¬
gia peaches is worth two of Califor¬
nia’s flavor and all considered. And
the most interesting part of it is,
they frankly admit it out here. Geor¬
gia apples produce as well as they do
in California. Pears, plums, a I ber
lies arc just as good, and I would
not give one juicy Georgia water¬
melon for a dozen of the-i cut here.
! haven’t seen a sweet potato since
1 arrived here. They all admit that
Georgia cane syrup is the best in the
country, yet they haven't any out
here. They boast of their eanta
loupes out here, but; i haven’t tasted
one that will compare with a Georgia
cantaloupe. Now, I’m not intending
I his as a “knock >» at California, be
cause she is really a wondcrful
state and deserves a great deal of
credit, for her people have made her
wonderful just simply by their
pluck and enterprise. Aii l am try ing
to do is to convince the Georgia peo
pie that they can make jusl as much
and in many cases more, per acre
than can be made in California.
In future articles 1 shall tell more
of what California is doing. One
thing that I shall tell you is how she
markets all this stuff after it is made,
and that is just as interesting, de¬
ea nse until she did begin a systematic
marketing, oranges, lemons, and
other fruits and vegetables were sold
at a loss. -

County voter was very manifest. He

LOCAL COTTON WAREHOUSE
IS DOING GOOD BUSINESS
Fort Valley’s new cotton wu ro¬
house, which opened for business
Monday under the direction of Mr.
W. F. Andrews of Roberta, with Mr.
E. Danielly of Roberta as resident
manager, is doing a splendid busi-,
ness, having received 400 bales up to ,
Wednesday noon. The price obtain
ing here Wednesday was 29 and 30
cents. i
Mr. Andrews stated Wednesday
that the market was not very lively,
buyers holding off because the qual
ity of the staple now offered here
does not average up as high in grade
as the best market demands. He
states that the prospect in this sec
tion is for about a fifty-per-cent
crop.
Mr. Andrews expects to spend
about three days of each week
during the cotton season.

CLOTHING PRICE TAGS -
DUE TO COME DOWN
___
According to the Dearborn Inde
pendent the advertisement of a gar¬
ment manufacturer in the August
9lh issue of a New York textile
journal stated in large black type
“prices for heavy weights $10 to
$15 per suit lower than they were
two months ago. Fall dating, with
longer time by acceptances if want¬
ed” It continues, “All our fall or
ders were taken at these reduced
prices and all new orders will like¬ i
wise be booked at these lower
prices.”
This and correlated evidences seen
in the daily papers from time to time
of reduced prices on clothing to the
retailer should naturally lead the
consumer to wonder if he is to re
reive the advantage of these reduc
tions. The article in the Independent
states, “Many dealers declare that
the price of fall and winter clothing
will be higher than that paid for
summer wear. If this prediction is
true it is going to be hard to ex
I plain the reasons for the increase.”
The' truth of the matter is that
i honest dealers are already eviden¬
cing their intention of giving
consumer the benefit of these
duetions, while it is
true that other retailers with less
conscientious scruples are going to
take advantage of the ignorance of
the retail buyer and “get all the
traffic will bear”—till they get
found out. The wise buyer will be
wary and will not only carefully
weigh the reputation of dealers for
fair play and legitimate profits, but
will also endeavor to inform him
self as to just what articles are now
being offered at reduced prices.
Dealers who voluntai ily conform
their selling prices to their lower
costs will gain the confidence of an
appreciative public, and there will
be such honest dealers in every town,
But woe unto him who takes advan
of the ignorance of the buyer
when that dealer is found out, as
eventually he will be.
