international Trade

_(Vontinued from last week)

ternational trade is not a matter of pulling a rabbit
hat. There is no magie involved.

oreign commerce must rest on solid common sense.

nds if it benefits the parties to the trade.
Let us take some concrete illustration in order that
nay readily understand how foreign trade can be a
ment to a country.

: SOUTH AMERICAN COTTON

itators of foreign commerce are continually harping ~

question of foreign exports of cotton. They tell us
re must produce cotton at a price that will enable
sell cotton in the markets of the world. They say
st meet the price of cotton in Brazil, in India, in
in Russia, in Egypt and other countries of the world.

lake the item of-eotton produced in the countries of-

he: question of South American eotton production is
ally held up as a bugaboo to the producers of cotton
United States. All of this is a boogy man. It is
a scarecrow. There is no real reason why the cotton
outh America should cause seit to the eotton
rs.of the United States.
view of the many statements in newspapers, on the
nd statements from what is considered authoritative
s such as the National Cotton Council, ete., I realize
s statement may sound absurd to those who have
ight the problem through.
"he Good Book tells us, Let us reason feuetlier!

States.
SOUTH AMERICA NEEDS ALL THE
COTTON IT GROWS
Phe people of South American can use every bale of
they produce. They need it. The only reason that
of South American cotton is exported is because
ountries of South America do not have cotton mills

-EDITORIALBy Tom Linder ie

Tam receiving : a number of Jetters from farmers. Ww



are much dissatisfied with Prices being paid for cattle :

hogs.

A visit to a cattle or hog sale will convince you immed-
lately that something is wrong.

Some cattle are selling as low as 3 cents perpound
foot. Some hogs are selling as low as 4 and 5 ae pe
pound on foot.

Go into the stores to buy meat and-7 you 8 find
meats of all kind are selling around OPA ceiling price
Once in awhile, you might see some meat selling for a littl
ae than OPA cole. but this i is the exception and
rule.

During the last few days, T have had survey made of

of the larger chain stores in Atlanta handling meats.

result of this survey shows the following as to these
chain stores.

1. Hold ceiling prices in practically all meats,
may drop a little on slow moving cuts.

2. Receive ceiling prices for about 98% of meats
Sell some beef, pork, lard, breakfast bacon be:

low ceiling prices. -M ostly low orade a coe be
low ceiling when long in stock. |
4, Hold ceiling price up to 99% of all fi ti

5 5. Hold ceiling prices up on meats, more es
pecially on pork, ham, bacon and by-products.

6. Hold all meats up to ceiling prices. May
drop one or two cents if overstocked on some grades.

7. Can sell all meats we get at ceiling prices
Pork, in particular, very short.

I have devoted some time to checking up on the caus
of this situation.

For years we have beer trying to Dass the produc:
tion of cattle and hogs in Georgia and have made wonder-
ful progress along this line.

It seems too bad now for Georgia farmers who have
invested their capital, labor and their time into develop
ing hog and cattle farms to have the ground eut out fro .
under them 4 in any such manner.

OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION AND WAR
FOOD ADMINISTRATION

iy making investigations of this condition, I have had
several conversations with men in the OPA and in th
WEA. :

The OPA has match very clear that they are not in
terested in anything except to see that cattle and hogs de
not bring above OPA eeiling prices. They are not inte
ested in ow cheap cattle and hogs sell. They say this 1s
a matter of the law of supply and demand.

The WFA on the other hand, tells me that they ia n
have any support price on beef eattle. They only have
subsidy in certain cases:

WIA also tells me that the matter of the subsidy

hen shipped back to South America is econom-
ally unsound.

For us to be a party to bringing South
merican eotton to the United States for pro-
cessing and then shipping cotton goods back to

jouth America is simply a way of borrowing
ouble and paying for it at the same time.

. CAUSE OF WORLD CONFLICT

One of the greatest contributing causes to
poth of the World Wars has been commerce with
South America.

The tremendous trade ee between Ger-
many and England over South American trade
has been one of: the principal reasons why every
effort to bring about. world understanding has) m

merica had nothing to gain by this foreign

mmerce between South America and Hurope.:

Thile on the other hand, the common people of
urope had nothin to gain by this rivalry over
uth American trade.
_ If the people of South America had been
spinning and weaving their own cotton, there
uld dave been no way for hifermational finan-
ial interests of Europe to have profited out of
sweat of the farmers of South American
untries. Ther would have been no way for
iternational financiers to have profited out of
the consumers of cotton goods in the countries
f South America.
_ There would have been no cause fas Huro-
pean countries to fall out and fight about a pro-

duet that is grewn and ultimately consumed in|.

auth America.
GOOD NEIGHBOR

The way for us to be a good neighbor to
South America is to encourage South Ainerica to
uild cotton mills and spin their own cotton. [n-
ourage: South America to spin and use their
wn cotton in South America. Encourage them
spin and, use their own cotton and thereby
re employment to millions of their own people.

STANDARD OF LIVING
- The way for us to be a good neighbor to
i | oole of South America is to help them to
se their standard of living. Encourage them
produce more and better goods for their own

yple.

There i is no way, really, for the people of. the:

United States.

When we bring cotton from South America,
we are taking away the very thing they need.
When we ship cotton goods to South America,
we are sending them what they should produce

a little profit on the deal are benefited. All
others have lost by the transaction.

WORLD COTTON PRODUCTION

lion bales per year. The United States produces
about one-half the world supply of cotton.

It would require 150 million bales of cotton
to run the world one year.

The world only produces one-sixth enough

cotton to supply the worlds needs.

_ However, let us say that the United States
has a higher standard of living than the remain-

der of the world. Let us say that people in the

other countries shall use only one-fifth as much
cotton per person as we use in the United States.
It would require 30 million bales of cotton a
year for the world to have one-fifth as much cot-
ton per person as we have per person in the Unit-
That is more cotton than the world
has ever produced in any one year.

In the greatest cotton year in the History of
the world, 1937, the world did not produce

jenough cotton to give the people of the world

one- Fifth as much cotton as we in the United

States consume.

- COTTON BY COUNTRIES

- We hear a lot of talk about Chinese cotton:

The greatest cotton crop China ever produced.

was 3 million bales. There are four times as

many people in China as there are in the United

Certainly China can use that 3 million

bales if they only had machinery to spin and
weave it into cloth.

India was 6 million bales. There are three times
as many people in India as there are in the Unit-
ed States. Certainly India can use 6 million
bales of cotton if they only had the machinery
to make it into eloth.

The largest cotton crop ever produced in
Russia was 4 million bales. There are almost
twice as many people in Russia as there are in
the United States. Certainly they can use 4

million bales of cotton if they only had the ma-

chinery to make it into cloth.

The largest cotton crop in Ke eypt v was a little
more than 2 million bales. Certainly the British
Empire can use all the cotton produced in Egypt.

5 REST OF THE WORLD |
It is easy to see from the above that the only
available cotton for Portugal, Spain, France,
Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Italy, Greece. Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria,
Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland
and many other countries is the pitiful little 5
million bales that the cotton growers in the Unit-
ed States have for sale to exporters each year.
COTTON MILLS ARE A COTTON MARKET

There is no necessity of a production prob- |
lem of cotton.

There is no necessity of control of produc-
tion problem for cotton.

There is no necessity of consuming problems
for cotton.

The only problem is to get enough cotton
mills over the world to spin the cotton.

If we encourage South America to spin and
use its own cotton, if we encourage China to spin
and use its own cotton, if we encourage Russia
to spin and use its own cotton, if we encourage
India to spin and use its own cotton, then the
problem will reverse itself. Then, the question
will not be, Where can we sell cotton ?? Then

cotton? : ee

Fifty Sc Years Of erie|

*

Kathryn G, Cooley

For fifty-six years the Georgia . Agricultural
Experiment: Station has been endeavoring to deter-
mine the basic facts underlying the production, im-
provement, marketing and utilization of farm prod-
ucts; thus enabling our farmers to make a better

| living, according to Director -H. P. Stucky, who has

served the institution for thirty-five years. Since the
outbreak of the second world war, states Dr. Stucky,
the work of the Georgia Experiment Station has
been further streamlined to meet the war needs of
the country. Projects have been revised to give great-
er assistance to all citizens of the State in their efforts
to produce more as an aid to winning the war.

During this long term of service to southern agri-.
culture, the Experiment Station has grown from an
institution with four staff members and a hundred

and thirty acres of land located at Experiment, Geor-|

gia, to its present staff of more than fifty. well-train-
ed members, twelve of whom hold doctors degrees,
and an experimental area of more than a thousand
acres, In addition to the local acreage, the Station
operates 14,000 acres of Federal owned land in Put-
nam County and approximately five hundred acres
at the Georgia Mountain Experiment Station in Union
County. :

The Station came into existence in February,
1888 as a result of the Hatch Act of the Congress of
1837 which authorized an annual appropriation of
$15,000 to each of the states for the support of ex-
periment stations. An act of the General Assembly
of Georgia in December 1888 provided for the ap-
pointment of a Board of Directors and for the -per-
manent location and organization of the Georgia Ex-
periment Station. The following year the bid of Spald-
ing County for the Station was accepted. The bid
made by this county comprised $5,000 in cash and
a farm of a hundred and thirty acres, known as the
Bates farm, one and one-half miles north of Griffin.
There with meager facilities on July 1, 1889, the
Georgia Experiment Station began its study of practi-
cal agricultural problems, explained as follows in the
Second Annual Report made to the Governor in Jan-
uary, 1896: /

Those questions which seem to demand imme-
diate attention will be first considered, the aim being
to make the Station at once instructive and profitable
to the agriculture of the State. The object will not be
to make money by the experiments that will be con-
ducted on the Farm, but to find out the best way to
do every kind of farm work, the best methods of
draining, plowing, composting, fertilizing, feeding,
and dairying. The Station officers do not profess to
know everything; but their aim will be to add to
knowledge already attained by instituting and con-
ducting experiments with such appliances and with
such-precautions against error as will insure the most
accurate and reliable results in the shortest time.
These results and conclusions will be published for
the information and guidance of those who are en-
gaged in the business of farming for a livelihood.

' The Adams Act of 1906, the Purnell Act of

1925, and the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935 author-
ized the appropriation of funds for additional phases
of research. As a result of these acts the work of the
Station has been greatly expanded. se

The present well-equipped administration and
laboratory building, the Flynt Building, was com-
pleted in 1929. Prior to its erection, two buildings
had served as the Stations administrative offices,
the first being a small, two-room, frame structure.

In addition to the main building there are four oth-

ers which contain laboratories and offices. Also there
are four greenhouses, many large barns, necessary.
storage buildings, dwellings, and several tenant hous-
es:on the Station grounds. .

In the Flynt Building is the library composed
of approximately 11,000 volumes and recognized as
one of the best scientific libraries in the South. Re-
cently the library has been used more by the general
public than ever before.

- Perhaps the greatest expansion made by the
Station came in 1932 when the institution became a
part of the University System of Georgia under the
control and guidance of the Chancellor and the Board
of Regents. Research is earried on at the Experiment
Station by ten departments whose duties are as fol-
tO iene, to direct the research activities
and fiseal affairs of the institution.

Agricultural Economics, to make studies in mar-
keting, farm pipes. farm tenure, and other

ic problems of the farm. |
Deena to deal with field crops and soil fer-
tility problems.

Animal Industry,

ments. ~ ==
Botany, to study plant diseases and plant breed-

to. carry on livestock experi-

as Chemistry, to study plant composition and plant

land animal nutrition.

Entomology, to determine methods for the con-

trol of insects.

Food Proces: ing, to devise new methods of pro-



ee eessing foods.



- Horticulture, to carry on research with fruit
vegetables, and ornamentals. __ ae
Home Economies, to specialize in problems

nutrition and of food utilization.

The Station has had only six directors. Dr. Stuc
the last of these, came to the Station in 1908 as h
ticulturist and was later made director. While |
Stuckys greatest accomplishments have been in the
field of horticulture, other phases of agricultural re-
search have not ben overlooked. Under his sup:
vision and friendly encouragement the discoverie;
made in these departments which are proving ben
ficial are too numerous to list, but a few should be
mentioned to make clear to the public the type of
work being accomplished. Their value to agriculture
is worth many times the cost of maintaining the in-
stitution. fi

Working out methods of fertilizing cotton o
the principal soil types of the State and determinin
the proper fertilizer mixtures and amounts to use
in peach orchards have lowered the cost of fertilizerg
to the farmer and at the same time raised the yields

\

and the quality of the products.

The Station has pioneered in the chemical anal-
ysis of soils-for fertilizer and lime requirements. At
the present time one of the largest and best equippec
soil testing laboratories is located at the Experiment
Station for the use of Georgia farmers. Every year
several thousand samples are analyzed without cost
for the residents of the State, and from the resultg
obtained the agronomists make specific recommend-
ations for each farmers needs. ee 3
The one-variety cotton community work start
and sponsored by the Station in cooperation with the
Agricultural Extension Service has been a big suc-
cess throughout the State. This has been of great
benefit to the farmers in that they have kept their
seed pure and received better prices for their cotto1

_ The discoveries that blossom-end rot of tomatoes
can be controlled by supplying soil moisture, that
the use of trap crops will control the pickle worm i
cantaloupes, and that pecan crops can be increased
by interplanting early flowering varieties to serve a
pollinators were made at the Georgia Exerime
Station. ee = =

Research with pimiento peppers and peanuts,
two important Georgia products, has resulted in an
improved Truhart Perfection pimiento and bet
varieties of peanuts.*At present the Station is acti
ly interested in developing new uses for peanuts. It
was here also that experiments proved the hi

vitamin A content of the Perfection pimiento, which

is doubtless responsible for much of the increased
demand for the canned product. eee
Results of pasture improvement tests enable
farmers to scientifically plan pasture mixtures that
furnish a long grazing season and have a high carry
ing capacity. : oe
| The development of new crop varieties well
adapted to this section is one of the numerous s

vices rendered farmers. The Station has introduce

two new varieties of wheat, Gasta, which averages
a barrel of flour per acre more than ordinary types,
and Sanford, which is resistant to leaf rust, is a high
producer, and composes forty-five percent of the
wheat planted in the State; a new oat, Terruf, tha
produces seven bushels per acre more than varie
ties in common use; a cabbage-collard that withstands
local winter temperatures; a new soybean, Doxi, that
equals or surpasses the best commercial varieties i
both hay and seed; a sweet corn, Cherokee, whic
out-yields all northern varieties yet tried; a numb
of improved varieties of muscadine grapes that a:
more productive and of better quality than older va-
rieties; and a new peanut, G. F. A. Spanish, a high
yielding strain of the small white Spanish variety.
Georgia agriculture needs more cash crops. Ex
periments indicate that the production of muscadine
grapes for making wines, jellies, and unfermentec
juice will prove economically practical for Georgia
farmers. Recently the Station has received as ma
as fifty requests a day from interested persons a

prospective growers for information on muscadi

grape production which is a growing industry
Georgia. ee
Experiments have shown that dried peas an
beans, spinach, turnip greens, and kale have a hig!
proportion of available iron, a necessary mineral in
the diet, while collards, mustard, tendergreens, anc
lettuce contain a little less. . ee ee
The first comprehensive list of varieties of fruits
and vegetables suitable for freezing published in this
country, was published by the Station in 1930. Th
list has been extended during the last fourteen year
to include other products which, at one time, wer
considered unsuitable for freezing. :
Three years ago the Georgia Experiment Statio:
set up equipment for artificial insemination use in t
dairy herd. Since that time the Station has been work
ing with breeders over the State, showing interes
parties the equipment, methods, and technique. This
work is of valuable aid to the small dairy commu
ity and expansion of the program is contemplated.

Icattle And Hog Prices|

(Continued from Page One).

entirely up to the packers.
get the subsidy unless they pay up to a certain
price. On the other hand, the packers can buy
at prices far below the subsidy figure and make
money by not getting the subsidy.

When I asked WEA what could be done to

bring the price of cattle and hogs up to a figure
where the packer would get the subsidy, they
told me that the only remedy was to get addi-
tional buyers and create competition 1 in buying so
as to run the price up. \

Everyone knows this is impossible. In the
long run, thre are no buyers of cattle and hogs
except packers and slaughter houses. We can
not go out and create new packing houses | over-
night.

OPA CEILING PRICE

For your information, I am quoting OPA
celling prices In Georgia on beef cattle as follows:

a Choice15.60 to 16.60. :

A Good14.80 to 15.80. :

Commercial12.00 to 13.50.

Utility9.75 to 11.20.

Canners and Cutters6.95 to 8.45.

Bologna Bulls8.25 to 9.75. _

If you will visit an auction sale barn i in Geor-
gia, you will find that most beef cattle are selling
at prices ranging from 1 to 5 cents per pound,
.-|under these OPA ceiling prices.

For instance, you will find Bologna Bulls
1! selline as low as 5 cents per pound.

Under WEA rules, if a Bologna Bull will
tdress out 41 per cent, the packer would be en-

titled to a subsidy of 50 cents provided the
packer paid not less than 6.30 for the bull. How-

ever, if the packer buys the bull dressing 41 per
cent for 5% cents per pound, the packer in that

event would be getting 80 cents per hundred

out of the farmer instead of setting 50. cents per

100 out of the government.
In the case of a Bologna Bull dressing 50

per cent, the packer would have to pay not less

than, 7. 65 i in order to get the subsidy. of 50 cents.
If the packer buys the bull dressing 50 per cent
for 614 cents, then the packer would be getting
$1.15 out of the farmer instead of getting 50 cents
out of the government. :
In the ease of a Bologna Bull dressing 53
per cent, the packer wOonlde have to pay not less
than 8. 10 to get the government subsidy. |

If the packer buys this bull at 7 cents per
pound, then the packer would be getting $1.10
out of the farmer instead of getting 50 cents out
of the government.

On Commercial steers dressing 55 per cent,
the packer would have to pay not less than 11. 45
in order to get a government subsidy of 90 cents
per 100.

If the packer buys this steer for 914 cents,
then the packer would be getting $1.95 out of

the farmer instead of getting 90 cents out of.

government subsidy.

FARMERS PRICE HAS NO CONNECTION
WITH CONSUMER CEILING PRICE

Under this setup, there is no connection

whatever between the price that the farmer gets

for beef cattle and the consumer coling price

fixed by OPA. |

: THE PACKERS SIDE OF THE STORY
What is the packers side of this story?
The packers tell me that their storage facil-

ities are over-crowded with meat of Commer-

cial, Utility and Canners and Cutters grades.

The packers say that the consuming publie

will not buy these grades of beef in sufficient
quantities to relieve the congestion.

The packers say that the general consuming

public i is making so much money that the demand
is for choice and good cuts of beef and not for
the lower grades of beef. :

The packers say that the government re-
quires them to set aside a large perentage of the

best beef for government use.

This creates a tremendous shortage in the

Sg a better cuts of beef but results in a oe over-
rseradish | supply of _ lower grades of Lees aoe

If thei

The packers do not



itt You eaanel go into the stores i in Goaree n
find it. Very often you will be unable to br
meat. - :

Only yesterday one man in this Deparimes
tried to buy some bacon and was forced te go
5 different stores before he could find any. Aa
other employee, the same day, tried to buy baco
and went to numerous stores and never did fin
any bacon.

Tf there is a large supply of meat. in storas
for government use, then this government m
is not available for civilian use, and the far
should be encouraged to produce meat for
vilian use.

If there is a large supply of beef im dll
establishments that is not held by the gov
ment, then why is it that stores are unable to bi
it?

Tf there is such a tremendous supply of 1
that beef cattle and hogs should sell at starvatic
prices, then why does the OPA maintain
ceiling prices to consumers? _

3 Tt all simply does not make sense a and the }
is a nigger in the woodpile.

OPA REGULATIONS ON SLAUGHTER

Mueh of the confusion in the meat busi
and some of the low prices for meat is du
OPA sepulapons over the slaughtering | of m
animals.

Prior to the OPA, a farmr could bute
a cow and sell it direct to the merchant. Un
this arrangement the merchant could pay
farmer the full wholesale price of the beef.

Under present regulations of the OPA, i
necessary for every anal to be slaughtered
someone who is licensed by the OPA. :

A specific case in point as to how this O.
control works:is as follows: |
A few days ago at Hazlehurt, a janne
a merchant were trying to trade on a cow.
farmer complained about the low price that
merchant was offering for this animal Th
chant, however, explained that if he bought
cow he would have to pay the slaughter h
$5.00 to send and get the cow, $5.00 to b 6)
the cow and another $5.00 to bring the butch
beef back to his store. x we

All of this $15.00, of course, had to com
of the price of the cow. The farmer pet 8
less than the cow was worth.

Zs RATIONING 2

df there is an actual shortage of b
that rationing of. beef is necessary, then
tainly beef cattle should. he bringing OPA ceil
prices.

df there is such_an ov ersupply of beef
beef is selling for 50% of ceiling prices,
there is no need rationing and there is no n
of forcing the farmer to pay $15.00 for the Pp
lege of selling a cow.

THERE IS SOMETHING FISHY ABOU'

THE BEEF BUSINESS =
Not long ago, according to press repo
from Washington, the United States Departm:
of Agriculture gave orders to all its employ
forbidding them from giving out imformat
about our business with foreign countries.
They claimed that it would not be to t the b
interest of our war effort for the America
ple.to know what kind of trades we were ma
with other countries affecting agrieulta
products. _ | 7 |
Some time ago, I: was in New Orleans
got first hand information about large shipme
of eggs, beef and pork from Argentine. In
large quantities of these commodities were be
unloaded in New Orleans while I was there.

_ Since the United States Department of
riculture has cut all information from the pu
regarding our dealing with foreign countri
is time that our Senators and Congressme
vestigate this matter and find out to what e
imports of foreign beef is responsible -
present beef marketing situation in this

Iti seems unreasonable to believe tha
the tremendous demand of the war, ~
mendous demand of our armed fore 28,
mendous demand for beef for Len



ts Allies, that the American fam er





erican market wil ite handicaps 1 un-|-

sh farmers have labored. _
his low price of American beef cattle is
imports, then certainly it is time for those

o be cut off.

the present low price of beef cattle is not
foreign imports, then certainly it is foolish
to talk about trading with foreign coun-

that produce beef.

CEILINGS WITHOUT FLOORS |
s is another illustration of the fact, as

ore in the Market Bulletin, that eel]

he spread bu ween the farmers price and

sumers price is greater than at any other
n the history of this.country.

Commissioner an Agriculture.

a ng ek a cacek line Bebeeen ce tice: ots any
7 her west than Charleston, West Virginia, and maybe
any further west than Beckley, West Virginia. My

Ca is to get as straig oht and fast a road as possible from

nta to the heart of the Southern West Virginia coal
s, and straight on through the Northern West Virginia

Western Pennsylvania coal fields, if possible, and

ther on in this letter I will elaborate on my reasons

1 am sorry that I cannot anion you about the size
the payroll in these southern counties, but it is enor-
ous. It is almost inconceivable and the interesting thing
a from the ee of Georgia, Is that it j is almost

lcs or ee that they ean vet their hands on at
vthing like a reasonable price and in sufficient quanti-
_ T believe that, with a road, such as I have in mind,
southern fields alone would consume all that Georgia
produces of snap beans, cabbage, peaches, pears, wa-
1elons and cantaloupes, the latter for summer con-
| ption only, but all of the lower grades that eannot be
eae to the eastern cities. While this. is

a: in the summer to ean for the Wee and aise very :

sive, with large families to have to begin buying

Zt

ik you eat dimer at a coal miners house in the win-

canned beans, such as you would find

la . pickled leans (pickled sithee 4 in cans or a eek as
eumbers or kraut); sauerkraut, and peaches or pears
umned as preserves or otherwise and all from some other
, Their meats, apples, cherries, grapes, ete., are gen-
ly what they ean get locally or produced locally.

Now the next thing. is the manner in which these
nes are distributed and where they now come from. Of
Urse, the war being on now, I will describe the way it is

ng is made up of a great number of small Le

th the exception of Charleston. A man who has a
dling clientele, will figure that he could make a few
TS on a load of, say peaches, that he will io nue

se for canning. He will ek gencrally At jars

two-ton truck will sometimes go to South Carolina,
Georgia is just enough too far where his trip would -
profitable. On these trips they would go through
field, West Virginia, and if going to North Carolina, wo
20 from Bluefield to Bristol to Asheville or from Blu f
down Route 26 to Winston-Salem, and if going to S
Carolina from Bluefield to Wytheville, Va., would ta

route somewhat west of Winston- Salem to Columbia

be a little shorter and it may be still a little less aot

soing from Bristol to Knoxville and to Atlanta, but.
That | extra 200 miles is what ought to be gotten rid 0

* Any coal miner can tell better than you can whe

-euts a watermelon whether it came from Georgia or
but he cannot tell you whether it came from Vire
North Carolina or South Carolina, but he knows his G
gia melon and the same about a peach and a pear.

canteloupe is a little less distinguishable.

T do not know of any produce raised in any
states being marketed in this section. None that I kno
is from Tennessee, none from Kentucky, some Irish
toes and late cabbage from Ohio. I do not know w
they get their sweet potatoes, but they are not from

gia, for they are, for the most part, no good, but the p

here, generally do not eat many sweet potatoes. The T
potato is the favorite as a standard food,

tek eee that such a road would be ee
nessee, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and maybe
York, for when you get to Pittsburgh, you are gel
pretty close to western New York state. Of course, t
is now a fairly good road from Charleston, West. Virgit
to Pittsburg, but it could he a nome lot ba and
shorter.

These coal miners needa garden and Georgia
natural garden and almost their only natural gard n.
certainly their best, and if it were only moved a
closer, they most eottainty would use it.

*T have been telling you only what the coal m

knows about Georgia produced farm products, but I kn

some that he Hoes: not know, but that he will eventt
find out. Among them are: how good an ordinar

run, farm cured, Georgia ham tastes, which he has. ne

tasted: okra, which he knows almost nothing about
plant, which he is just beginning to learn to eat, but
cannot be produced here very satisfactory on accoun
the short season for farming; field peas, which he doe

~ even know the taste of; how much better press peaches
- for some uses than the freestone, and a good man

but I name these because a market for these will event
be built up for these and many others. By way of p:
thesis, I believe the,climate in which the Georg
is cured is a great factor in making the taste. I_
eaten the Smithfield ham, and T have never tasted ; e
cured, anywhere except in Georgia, that tastes as we
used fo believe it was principally in the feeding, bu

oe believe the climate has a great deal ta do with Tt

Tf T Rad not warned you in the first part ot
letter to lay it aside and read it in your leisure, I -
apologize for its length, TI thought it best to assume
you did not know much about these facets and detail

on that basis, so that the picture as I see it would: be
tirely clear,

You can identify me as the younger son of M

ay Blackshear, Sr.. of Dublin. -
