SELLING GEORGIA
TO GEORGIANS
By W. R. Crites.
Address Delivered Before the
Midwinter Press Meeting
at Savannah.
(Continued Prom Last Issue.)
“In marketing the farmer again falls
short, and once more the newspaper
can carry the message. He has not
caught the vision of marketing co¬
operatively and is content to sell to
the first buyer that comes along. In
the matter of hogs by working co-oper¬
atively he could make up his own car
loads and attain the very market that
the local buyer must sell to, and in
this way secure for himself that ad¬
ditional profit.
Co-operative Marketing
| | should “A co-operative in system of marketing
prevail every basic commod¬
ity that the state produces. California
i can teach us a lesson in these things.
When she goes on the market, she
appeals to the trade in just two things
—quality and California. The produc¬
er is lost sight of and the commodity
and the state are supreme. In this
way she has made her products known
all over the world. Through a busi¬
ness-like combination the producer
has made it possible to advertise, and
make his own markets and prices
direct to the consumer. No expensive
tribute is paid to the middleman, and
the product, goes straight to the con¬
sumer, and that additional profit is
secured for themselves.
“During the past year we have seen
cotton placed on a co operative basis
throughout the entire cotton belt.
Georgia is already reaping the harvest
although a great many of her farm¬
ers failed to grasp the merits of mar¬
keting in that way. 1 firmly believe
that had there been no cotton asso¬
ciation, the price of cotton, even with
the small crop considered, would never
have gone beyond 15c. With all its
importance to our state for lack of
time I dare not dwell upon this under¬
taking. It is a subject of an address
in itself. I do, however, want to con¬
gratulate the newspapers for their
wonderful work in putting it before
the people. They have performed a
great service, and without them it
would not have been possible.
“There is still another phase of the
marketing situation that to me is the
saddest of all, and that is the atti¬
tude of the home consumer toward our
own products. There seems to be an
absolute, prejudice against our own
commodities. As we come knocking
at the doors of the markets of the
world, let us remember this one truth
—unless we respect the value of our
own products we cannot expect others
to be Impressed.
‘About a year ago I made a com¬
plete canvass of the stores of Millen
in order to ascertain just what was
being brought from other states that
should be and is produced in Georgia.
The result of that investigation was
startling. Here is the list showing
what we are buying from a distance,
and comprehensive as it is, there is
not one single item that would not be
produced in Georgia.
Peas front Maine and Maryland,
beans from Michigan, New’ York and
California; sweet corn from Maine,
New’ I ork and California; potatoes
from Maine, sweet potatoes from Mary¬
land and New Jersey, tomato catsup
from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
New York; pickles ‘57 varieties,’ from
Pittsburg; peaches from California;
"ith a country overflowing with Geor¬
gia cane syrup at anything from 25c
ft gallon up, we are paying a high price
for com syrup from New York; with,
at that time, 20,000,000 surplus bush¬
els of corn we were buying grits, lye
hominy, corn meal and corn starch
from Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania and
New York; English walnuts from Cal¬
ifornia; tomatoes from California and
New York; peanuts from Virginia; to¬
bacco from all over the w-orld; soap
from viu Cincinnati vjjiiv liman made iimue irora from our our own own ! i
cottonseed _ .X oil; • 1 . mules ... I from Kentucky i
and Missouri; cereals from Michigan,
Ohio and Illinois; cheese from Wis¬
consin; eggs from Tennessee; rice
fioin China and Japan; brooms from
Ohio: apples from New Y'ork, Oregon
and Washington; matches from Ohio
and Michigan; pimentoes from Spain -
grape juice from California and New
Jersey; vinegar from Virginia- con
Sensed milk from California and Wash
ington; oysters from Maryland and
I New Jersey; hay * from the ii. . Central —
states; cotton goods from
setts, Georgia coton coming back
us with three or four profits and
bitant freight rates added over and
above what we received for it on a
speculator’s market; woolen
that should have been made from wool
crown crown oil on the the hacks backs of of Georgia-raised __■
| sheep; furniture from Michigan and
j Pennsylvania made from Georgia lum
I her, and there are still other items
that could be added to the list.
‘This certainly demands serious
thought. How- long can we keep this
np? By considering the home prod¬
uct the consumer has it in his power
to quickly convert depression into
prosperity. Surely there is a work for
the newspaper to do when we con¬
sider a calamity of this kind.
“A further evidence of this discrim¬
ination against the home product was
brought to light this season. Quite
a number of farmers over the state
tried out the Bermuda onion as a mid¬
season crop. The experiment was a
success and the onions produced were
far superior to those grown in Texas
In spite of the evident superiority
when it came to marketing one farmer
reported that the buyers absolutely re¬
fused to consider the Georgia product,
claiming their customers w’ould not
buy them. In order to market at all
he was finally compelled to pack In
100-pound bags without markings so
they could be disposed of to the Geor¬
gia consumer as Texas onions.
"In another instance our home buy¬
ers refused to purchase Georgia hay
at $18 per ton preferring to pay $25
per ton for Northern timothy. We had
the hay analyzed and compared with
what he had been using and the
Georgia product proved to have the
better food values.
"Let us see w'h atthe course we
have been travelling means in dollars
and cents. In the recent agricultural
meeting at Athens It was shown that
during the past year we had imported
over $75,000,000 worth of food prod¬
ucts. An investigation of the value
cf car load shipments over the eight
railroads entering the city of Atlanta
showed that in three months over $4,
000,000 worth had been imported into
that city alone.
“How long can we last under con¬
ditions of that kind? With experiences
like that before him what encourage¬
ment has the farmer to advance along
new lines? Something must be done.
We cannot continue to send money
out of the state for the things we use
and couid make and raise ourselves
and expect a rising tide of prosperity.
Needs of Georgia
“It is time for the people to wake
up and consider the full development
of the state they claim to love. In
arousing this sense of duty the news¬
papers can play a big part. The con¬
tinual pounding home of an idea by
the forces under your control cannot
fail to bring results. Let us analyze
the needs and adopt a working basis:
“First. A campaign of education to
investors in an effort to stimulate
manufacture in order that Georgia’s
mineral resources may be converted
into finished products by home indus¬
tries.
“Second. A reduction of coton acre¬
age with a more intensive cultivation
and a ceaseless fight In combatting
the boll weevil.
"Third. The production of every
thing possible for home consumption.
"Fourth. Careful supervision and a
standardized preparation for market¬
ing, and a stimulation of production to
a sufficient volume to permit organiz¬
ed methods of disposal.
"Fifth. The encouragement of prop
er storage and packing facilities, in¬
cluding elevators, potato houses, pack
ing houses, cold storage plants, etc.
"Sixth. The keeping of high-grade j
cattle, swine promtflion and poultry on every j
farm, and the of creamlries |
as rapidly as cream production per* |
mita.
"Seventh. A continuous campaign !
of education to the end that the Geor j
gia consumer will recognize the value !
of the home product and the necessity |
of insisting upon its use to the ex |
elusion of outside commodities. ThJ |
carrying of a streamer head across thfl j
top of every newspaper In the state for
a solid year, calling up the consumer |
to demand the home product.
“I want you to enlist today in the
cause of the prosperity and full de¬ j
velopment of your state. If I car be
assured of the support of the organ¬
ized efforts of the newspapers along j
these lines, the dawning of a brighter i
day will be at hand. !
“We all have our dreams. You l*ave ;
yours and I have mine. Awhile ago
I visited the old Hermitage and as I
stood there under the oaks, from !
mountain top to tangled swamp and ;
from peach blown west to tumbling
sea there seemed a mighty canvas j
thrown. There I read the stupendous j
epic tale of toil—of brains and xhighty- j
muscled men—while from all mound
there came the sound of school bell |
chimes. On every mountain top and j
fertile plain there grew a million gar¬ j
den spots where cotton used to reign, I
and along each running brook there
meadows deep and with ;

sus cannot heal.
Lesson II. Unselfishness will move
one to humbly take the lowest place In
life, esteeming others better than him
self.

sinner who comes with contrition of
heart.
Lesson IV. The one who lives only
for this life shall surely suffer agony
and torment in the life to come,

the natural heart. The Lord expects
those who experience His salvation to
give Him their love.
Lesson VI. Those who pray to God In
the right spirit shall surely get the
blessings sought.
Lesson VII. The supreme purpose of
the coming of Jesus Christ to the
earth, taking upon Himself our hu
inanity, and dying on the cross was to
save lost men.
Lesson VIII. Upon those who have
not been faithful in the use of gifts the
Lord shall execute judgment at His
coming.
Lesson IX. We are responsible to
God, but God measures our gifts by the
extent of our ability,
Lesson X. Bitter agony was suffered
by Christ when He bore our sins.
Lesson XI. In Christ’s death a full
price was paid for our sins.
What God Remembers.
“I," says God, “will remember.’' j
How sweet to think of what God will, :
and what He will not, remember! He ,
will remember his own covenant, but i
He will not remember His people’s j
sins. The cross, which ratifies the
former, puts away the latter.—C. H. I
McIntosh.
God’s Offer.
Back of our ignorance and uneer
tainty God stands with His offer oi
wisdom and guidance to ail who will
ask it.
No Truer Picture.
There is no truer picture of what
history reveals than a crucifix.—Rev
G. A. Studdert Kennedy.
The Lie,
Sin has many tools, but a lie is ttu
nandle that fits them all.—O. W
Holmes.

Grocery Mortality High.
The average grocery store in the
United States changes hands every
seven years. Of the men who enter
the grocery business, 5 per cent are
successful, 15 per cent stagger along
the ragged edge, and 80 per cent go
out of business in seven years.—Mc¬
Clure’s Magazine.
