Last week, on April 12, DAVIDSON & RAT
LIFF PORTRAIT STUDIO made pictures here at
MYRTLE’S BEAUTY SHOP. Due to the rainy weath
er, the young men making the reservations failed to
cover much territory and only very few were contact
ed. However, the ad we had in this paper brought in
many customers who did not have reservations. We had
a full house throughout the day and many who want
ed pictures made but did not come because they didn’t
have a reservation have sent word for our return.
Therefore, on TUESDAY, APRIL 22, FROM 9 A. 31.
TILL 7 P. M., we will again make pictures in your city,
and between now and that time you will find some of
your own residents’ pictures in our sample cases.
Our photographer is one of the best in the business to
day. During the war he was a CIVILIAN photograph
er for the ARMY INTELLIGENCE, covering angles,
also for the F. B. I. You are guaranteed satisfied pic
tures and after having work done with us, you will wait
for our return each month for your picture needs.
Anyone failing to get a reservation may come anyway
and you can pay your full $1 at time of sitting.
Don’t fail to take advantage of this offer and we

SOIL CONSERVATION
PRIMARY BASIS FOR
CREDIT TO FARMERS I
Since it is generally agreed
that methods of farming and j
banking have changed in recent
years, it is only common sense
that farmers and bankers should
do business with each other on
a more modern basis. And that’s i
why some 200 farm and finance
leaders from all over Georgia I
gathered in Athens the other.
day for the Farm Finance Con
ference at the University of
Georgia’s College of Agriculture.
They wanted to learn how to
better get together.
They learned a lot, too. For
example, Atlanta’s John A. Sib
ley, president of the Trust Com-,
pany of Georgia, and himself a
gentleman farmer, told the con
ference that the future trend of
agricultural financing in Geor
gia will be strongly towards the
credits extended to farmers on
the primary basis of soil con
servation farming. Said he:
“The bottleneck of all farm
credit right now is ignorance of
the banker about this new type
I of credit based on soil conserva
tion farming.”
To overcome that situation, he
suggested intensive research. Mr.
Sibley said that every large bank
should organize an agricultural
department with personnel that
is trained for farm problems.
Banks in smaller communities
should join together in groups,
somewhat like the clearing
house, so that they may jointly
finance the farm problems pe
culiar to their area. He con
tinued:
“The fact is, we can no longer
look upon farm credit on a 90-
day note basis. And since land is
the most creative thing in the
world, we are working into an
agricultural economy in which
the banker can extend credit to
farmers only on the basis of the
productivity of their lands and
the use to which they put their
I lands.*
To meet the problems of soil
conservation in Georgia, Mr. Sib
ley suggested two things—cows
and trees.
