Grain Warehouses-
What I want to see now if- "tain:
GraJn warehouses all over the state,
conductcd like cotton warehouses have
been in the past, with adequate ar
rangements for handling grain in large
quantities. They should be conducted
an that the farmer can realize now
that when the time of the year comes,
and he harvests his crop of grain, he
can load his wagons with grain, drive
to the warehouse, and get a small ad
vance on l«ls crop. Just aw he did with
cotton. The grain can stav in the
warehouse until the farmer gets his
proper price for it just an he did with
rot t on.
Now, fullo.v citizens, while T think
vve have rightly spent our energies in
discouraging the planting of more cot
ton and urging the planting of more
grain, let’s go further than that—let’s
all get our heads together now and nr*
ranm- to find a market for all surplus
grain raised.
Someone will say that he can sell
everything he raises right here in
| Georgia. 1 agree with him. I fully
agree that everybody in the state
would prefer to buy horre stuff Instead
of foreign produce, but we must ar-
Gtnge things so that this buyer can
buy home produce when he wants to.
Carloads.
Today" a wholesale grain merchant
m Atlanta or any other large town
who wants to buy car-loads of grain
knows that, he can buy any number
from the west, and that they will be
shipped at once He would rather buy
ar loads of Georgia grain, but he
knows of no place where he can put
in a large order and be sure of prompt
fulfilment. So he orders from the west.
We i ust change this If we expect to
If sue f.ssful In raising grain as a large
< top. Any man In Georgia knows plen
ty of places where he can buy any
amount of cotton; he would not think
f la nding to Texas for it. Get us
make that true of wheat and other
grains; let up. estblish many grain
markets in Georgia where the broker,
next spring, can buy any number of
( -ar loads at a moment's notice.
These changes, sweeping as they are,
must be brought about at once, so
that farmers will be encouraged to
plant at once wheat and other grains.
Decades have been spent In perfect
ing cotton farming In Georgia. Meth
ods of planting, of growing of picking,
of ginning, of selling, of transporta
tion. have all been worked out so that
growing and selling cotton is the eas
iest thing the Georgia farmer lias done
up to the present time.
Abandoning these well known paths,
Georgia must, today by a supreme ef
fort, devise and adopt methods for
growing products other than cotton.
The land is here it is up to the Geor
gia men to do the rest.
Fortunes in Wheat.
Wheat sold for $.02 a bushel when
the European war started; it has now
gone to $1.12, and is daily increasing
in price. Farmers in the west are even
now holding for $1.25. The war means
prosperity for them and for the cattle
men. when ho many others in this
country are facing financial loss. It
will mean prosperity for the Georgia
farmers if they have grain and cattle
to sell in the spring W'hen prices will
be still higher. Wheat fields generally
yielding twice as much as those in the
IT. H, are now standing in Europe and
Kussian-Asia with rotting grain.
With Georgia’s climate furnishing
green forage all through the winter, as
contrasted with conditions on the snow
hound plains of some of the great
western tattle states, finer and better
cattle and other stock can lie grown
here than in the west, and for less
cost.
Statistics show that the south con
sumes more meat per person than any
oother section of the country and pro
duces less. That fact alone should he
Incentive enough to the farmer to raise
cattle and hogs. In addition to the fact
that with men like George L. McCarty,
secretary of the American Meat Pack
ers Association, stating that the en
tire world fates a shortage of the
meat supply ns result of the war. Geor
gia farmers will tie almost criminally
negligent to themselves and to their
families If they hesitate longer to in
vest in hogs and cattle.
In regard to cotton: to all who are
thinking of running their cotton farm
and raising cotton for another year, my
advice is to buy cotton now and, and if
you won't raise grain and live stock
to sit down and do nothing for a year,
lor you cannot possibly raise cotton as
Cheap as you can buy it now: it would
be more profitable to mortgage your
farm now and pay interest for money
to buy cotton with at the present prices
than to mortgage It next spring to
raise cotton next year.
ONE OF MOST INTERESTING
BODIES OF FRENCH TROOPS
Basel, Switzerland. The mountain
war going on In the Vosges has
brought Into action one of the most
Interesting bodies of French troops, the
Alpine Chasseurs. They are finely
built, powerful men, specially equipped
for the mountains. They are dressed
in hob-nailed boots, woolen leggings
and navy blue uniforms. They are
almost Invisible in the dark pine for
ests
A favorite stratagem in their fight
ing is to occupy positions in the
branches of the trees cleverly masked
and so securely arranged that even a
wounded or a dead man does not tall.
Another device of the French Alpine
troops Is for a part of them, secreted
In the branches, to hold their rifle
fire until Herman troops have passed
well Into a wood, ami then to fire upon
them from all sides. The light artil
lery Is carried upon mules.

tunately Mr. Sanders had his pistol
along and shot the negro In the hand,
causing hint to drop the gun, He

man with a shotgun in that condition
as exciting.
