Augusta to Demonstrate How People May Live at Home; Live at Home Week Here From Nov. 16th to the 21st Augusta Manufacturers to Co operate and Will Display in the Heart of the Business District Articles Manufactur ed in This City TO GET PEOPLE IN HABIT OF BUYING HOME-MADE GOODS Live-at-Home Week Will Be a Great Educational Affair, Be cause It Will Show People What They Do Not Know About Augusta Industries.

There has been a great deal said one way and another during the past few months concerning the cotton farmer, who, everybody now agrees, must begin to live at home on the farm instead of placing his dependence in cotton money to supply himself, his family, and his farm, in a broad sense, what applies to the farmer in this respect, likewise applies to the city man; what applies to the far mer's wife likewise applies to the housewives who dwell In the cities. if the farmer Is to live at home, raising something else besides cot ton, he must find a market close at hand for such food crops as he grows and for such meats as he raises in ad dition to what he needs for his own uses; and the city ’dwallets', th h con sumers, must supply that market. Hundred of thousands of dollars which go away from Augusta every year for food products—money that is sent so far away that the chances of Its ever coming back here are reduc ed to the minimum—can be distribut ed among the farmers and the live stock men of this immediate section of country, who living in easy dis tance of Augusta, in Augusta's trade territory, will bring it back and spend it here, keeping jt circulating in local channels of trade and commerce.
