Koch yaar he increaaca hifi crop, and borrow* money on the increase for Mupplicft and necesnlttew. (’otton has represented to him money, food, drink, Clrtthing. an usemcntH, everything. 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. To the Public.
