The man «r meon or means that succeeds in bhringiug lots of Yankee money to Georgia will be indelibly stamped in the minds of future generations, but the one thing most needful is for Geor gians to learn to Keep what they get. Take a synopsis of the people you know and all that have made any measure of success are those that have lerned how to keep what theyi get, | The big dailies, the weeklies, thvi bankers and the supply merchancs have just about all laid down on the‘ subject of growing home supplies and | diversified farming. Every body‘ knows that the salvation of this‘ country is with Yankee money and keeping what we get is the seconqd blessing. Here’s hoping that the L. & N. people will paralell the W. & A. and that the Georgia Chamber of Com merce will settle a million dollar yankee at every mile post through the entire state. While on our recent tour of the west we spent two days around New Orleans taking in the sights. We went 10 miles up the Mississippi riv er into the trucking region. It's a feast to the eye of one who thorough ly enjoys truck farming to see the hundreds of broad level acres that are covered with fine ‘“‘garden sass” of every imaginable tempting vege table that you could wish for. We saw hundreds of men, women and children planting, cultivating gath ering, washing, bunching, packing and shipping these fine vegetables to the northern and western murkv!s.‘ We then visited the markets 3 in all the city where you can buy ur‘ sell anything in the way of mr::ts,‘ fish, poultry, eggs, fruits or \w;“-‘ tables. They are open day and nig ht.‘ Sunday and Monday. The big French market covers some two OrF mere acres of ground and the sh(-li is owned by the city. The business is done by farmers, principally Ger man’'s who rent there (we were in formed that this rtrucking sw'tiuu“ continued for 65 miles) space b}" the square foot and for only one (lay{ at a time. At this big market we saw loads of vegetables, the Mm:tl% of any load of fodder or sheaf oats! that one commonly sees in (}»-z.rgi‘x,‘ all washed and tied in bunches as many as 200 doz. bunches of turnips‘ to a wagon, and every thing else in propertion on other wagons, but w&»i believe that the most prosperous sec tion we visited was the sugar "am’i fislds in Louisiana. For some two hundred miles nearly all the lands was cultivated in sugar cane; it was harvest season and hundreds of larg(’i sugar refineries were in full blast.% Fine old colonial homes and thou sands of cottages for the hired psm-} ple and everything looked like it had just been to a fresh coat of paint. It really looked like there was enough sugar and sugar-house molasses be ing turned out to sweeten the world go that enmity, jealousy, hatred, ma lice, ill-will and even the European war might stop. Mrs. Head states positively that I wont have any trouble in getting her to go when ] start again though she did not have a dull moment while 1 was away and she wishes to thank all of our friends who were so thoughtful of her han piness and well-fare in my absence, Eighty - seven persons visited or called on her during the 38 days J was visiting and sight-seeing. Some of thig number call several times. She will ever cherish their memory and remember the occasion with last ing pleasure. DON’T YOU SEE. g OLIVE SPRINGS.
