The Georgia legislature convenes

Secretary Weeks is opposed to the

for instance, Pennsylvania, Indiana

Brunswick has a very good reason
for waiting impatiently for the legis

It is said that the investigating
committee will not recommend the
abandonment of the present site of
the Georgia state prison farm. There
are other recommendations, however,
the people ate anxiously awaiting.
Young Walter Ward, son of a weal

Chairman Lasker asserts that he

It is squarely tip to r-.ery loyal
Brunswickian to see to it that; the

The present opportunity will not soon

The formation of a farmers’ associ

Tli@ second victory of the Bruns

rivals as the Forest City Gun Club

which she has every reason to be
proud.

Hhcre would be a different state of
r affairs. And now U a very opportune
time to wake up.
A GREAT ORGANIZATION.
The organization, yesterday, of a
farmers’ association by fifty of ’ the
leading agriculturists of Glynn county
presages the development of the re
sources of this county along entirely
I different lines from those that have'
, heretofore obtained, espeeialy in the
i methods employed in marketing crops.
There was a time in the history of
Glynn .county when she was among
the leading counties of the state in the
production of a number of crops, but
gradually, during the post-bellum pe
riod, the largest growers abandoned
their farms and they were allowed to
depreciate in value and in productiv-
ity. But within the last few years re
newed impetus lias been given to the
growing of crops and as gradually'as
they decreased they have been in
creasing, with much greater rapidity,
and now Glynn can boast of some of
the most productive small farms in
the state.
One of the most attractive features
of farming in Glynn county is the adap
tability of the soil for growing diver
sified crops. No farmer is compelled i
to apply himself to the production of
one or a half dozen crops, tlie possi-1
biiities are illimitable and the most
successful planter is lie who has a
variety of the products of the soil up
on which to rely, it has also been
demonstrated that fruits and berries
grow abundantly, where they are giv
en the proper attention.
And now, with tile 'formation of a
co-operative association, the future of
Glynn county looms bright indeed,
and there is every reason to believe
that great things will be accomplish
ed. In the selection of M. Lacy Mc-
Kinnon, as president; W. H. Slikdman,:
of St. Simon, vice-president; J. H. E. I
Dimond. of Hunter’s Siding, -second |
vice-president, and Janies E. Fergu-j
son, as secretary-treasurer, the or- j
ganization is to he sincerely congrat-1
ulated. Under their supervision sue-1
cess is assured. They are all practi-!
cai, progressive agriculturalists, with
a determination to develop they: coun-,
ty*s resources as they have nevei* been
before. . ... ,
There could be no better or bright
er sign for. the future of Glynn county
than the organization of her farmers,
for after ail they are the very fotindi
tion of all prosperity. The News
wishes the new organization, and its
splendid membership, every coneeiva
)il<S measure of success.
SENATE GASOLINE PROBE.
Nobody will say that Senator La-
Follette is not thoroughly equipped !
to be chairman of the senate sub-corn
mittee charged with investigating the
soaring prices of gasoline. Grasping
greedy corporations of toiler days
have ample cause to remember < thjt
Wisconsin senator. The LaFollette
committee will begin functioning ai
once, witnesses already liavjig been
summoned. It is The
first business of tile centtnatee will
be to investigate available stocks of
petrol in connection with Jheconsunip
fio and production of the #uet essfen
ital these days for transportation pur
poses.
It would seem eminently proper, in
the light of this investigation, to coil
aider the enormous production an‘d
consumption, and not only this, but to
study the extraordinary development
of the machinery for distribution,
which of late nas been so marked.
Thousands of new supply stations are
being built annually in all the princi
pal American cities. The quest-on i.-
do the petrol distributors hope to pay
for all of this development at once?
It would seem fairer, if th - ultimate
consumer is to pay for all this expan
sion, that the burden be graduated, oi
made as easy as possible, say in thiVie
or five or ten years, rather than ir.
twelve months, as the present prices
of gasoline seem to indicate.
LIGHT BEYOND THE SHADOWS
It matters not how fast, thick and
sensibly the shadows may gather anti
obscure the beautiful horning, rejuv
enating and life-producing rays of the
sun, the fact remains good that the
sun is mightier than the clouds and
will sooner or later break through and
shine —will sooner or later have right
of-way in a spotless sky. Thinking
of this and rejoicing over this, in
spires in us the ,hope that, in spite
of what has settled down upon the
farmers of this country—the dispar
agement occasioned by continued
rains, the rapid growth of grass and
other hindrances, sufficiently known
to us all—the fields will yield forth
abundantly and rich increase—that
the harvest days shall be the best be
cause of their mighty ingathering into
store houses and into barns.
’Tis so discouraging, after days of
i honest, strenuous toil, to have the

us all. (

We have never failed to enjoy an ap

failure in 1922. We may not see what
we set out to accomplish, for in the
stress and strain of conditions that
surround us, in the beginning of the

too high. We shall, nevertheless, be

even the threatened extra session will
not extricate them.
