T EE limit of thi word of greeting will not permit even a reference to the unlimited natural r ource of the.: tate of G orgia. Indeed, thi entire book could not catalogue the natural and artificial advanta o' of the tate. I need only say here that in all the world no ection will furnish a better 
opportunity for d v lopment along aOTicultural and indu trial line than the tate of Georo'ia. It i the larO" t tat ea t of the Mi i ippi; it i marvelou to contempIat that within it bord rand immediat lyon it border are to be found ven of th nine climatic zone. In the mountainou ection to the north it rai es apple which took the prize at the pokane, Wa hington, Apple , how; on the coa tal plains to the south are rai ed at uma oranO"es and other tropi al fruit, while on th lope between is the mo t fertile oil in all the world, producing' in O'reat luxuriance every variety of agri ultural product. Near Atlanta is a county that ha more minerals than any oth r county in the world. Ind ed, G oro'ia ha forty-four of the fifty-two commercial mineral. Notate in all the nion can compare with GeorO"ia in it advantaO' for dairying and dairy product, with it full tw lve-month pa turage year. The people of the State are ninety- even per cent.

 A Foreword 
T o you who are all' ady citizen of thi o-reat Oommonwealth, a well a to tho e who are eekinO' citizen hip in a land of attractive opportunitie ~llld va t re ource , I addre thi for word. 
I am deeply intere t d in the ucce of every legitimate activity in Georgia, wheth l' it b on the farm, in the mines, in the manufacturing plants, in the development of our tran portation tern or of our wondrou water power, or what oever may contribute to our wealth and happin ,becau e the um to~al of all the e uce e mark our relative po ition in that highly d irable condition -known as pro perity. The activity lying clo e t to my heart is Georgia' ao-riculture, a it now i and a it can be. Toda only about one-third of our tillable 
land i under cultivation. Takino- into con ideration the crop grown within the nited tate, Georgia i one of two or thr e State which lead in number. he ranges all th way from apples of :fine t quality in her northern countie to the Satuma orano'e and uo-ar cane in the coa tal plain ection of Georo-ia. Thi con ervative tatement can be v rified b a tudy of the tati tic appearinO' in Part III of thi booklet. 
The value and volume of Georoia' agricultural product are a tounding. Georgia' developed aOTicultur can upport man time our pre ent population, and can supply all our rural, urban and indu trial population with ev r taple food product ao-ood a the be t; it i up to u to ee that we do it. It i true that we mu t me t harp comp tition from th adjoinino- ao-riultural tate, but why, with our uperior natural advantage, hould we not meet it uc e fully 
Above all, I de ire to ee Georo-ia' land owne 1 and operated by tho e who live on the soil; then her fertile field, her beautiful vall and h r broad plain will alway be the hom of a pro perou , happy and contented p ople. Our wonderful "oil, lying a it doe in a delio-htful climat free, alike, from the rio-or of the north rn winter and extreme of the tropical ummel', pre nt today, to every citizen of thi tate as well a those who contemplate ca ting their lot a.mono us, a mo t at-

 Georgia in 1923 
Georgia is your opportunity whether at pre ent you are a citizen or whether you contemplate Georgia citizenship now or later. It is to the ambitious man today what the Golden West was to the pioneer in 1849. It i far greater becau e Georgia's resources today are highly developed, yet there are untold possibilities within her border. No uncertainty faces the agricultural, indu trial or bu ine s pro pector in Georgia. Thi booklet proposes to show what Georgia is today. 
From general tatements, verified by official tati tic found in Part ill of this booklet, you can form your own judgment as to our present and our future and al 0 as to the future you can m<tke for yourself as a citizen of this great State. 
History i not the function of this story entirely, but forms an integral part of the tory. Georgia, the heart of the new south, cheri hes her traditions but he doe not live in the past. Georgia lives and works and build in the living pre ent for the eternal today and the coming tomorrow. Georgia is a highly developed tate, yet two-third of it va t cultivatable acreaO' remains undeveloped. Thi is due to its great ize and to the fact that she is the youngest of the original thirteen colonie . Georgia is the larO'e t State ea t of the Mi i ippi River and contains 58,725 square miles and only about 10,000,000 of its 34,000,000 acres of tillable oil are under cultivation.

 DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE 
The advent of the boll weevil ha O'iven great impetus to the movement in Georgia for the diver ification and rotation of crops. he i favorably ituated to make till adjustment, in fact the boll weevil found ome of our most pro perous citizens already practicing a y t m of agriculture which utilized our p culiar advantage. After judiciou ly providing for a supply of all the' product termed nece itie for man and bea t they were then O'rowinO' an additional acr aO'e of cotton a a cash crop. The fact that our State produce uch bountiful yields ill return for the acre d vote I to diver ifie I crop will alway have a beneficial eff ct on land value in GeorO'ia. 
INVESTMENTS IN GEORGIA

 GENERAL WEATHER CONDITIONS 
The average annual temperature in orth Georgia is 52 df'grees; the coldest mean temperature is 42 and the warmest 76, which gives an average range from cold to hot during the year of 34 degrees. 
In central Georgia the annual average is 63 degrees; winter 47; ummel' 7 ,which gives a range of 31 degrees. 
In South Georgia the annual average temperature is 68 degroos; winter 55; summer 1, giving a range of 26 degrees. 
Rainfall for the year in Georgia averages 51 inches. The longe t days in the summer are about 14 hours; the shorte t in wiuter about 10 hour ; the length of the nights are the same, but reversed. 
Rainfall, sunlight and general weather conditions are so evenly balanced that ometimes two or three crops are possible on the be t acre during one and the same year. 
Georgia- Cotton 
Cotton is till Georgia' great taple money crop. The reluced production for the pa t few year is attributable both to the boll weevil and unfavorable easons; perhaps the latter is the gr ater cause as orne counties where seasons were favorable made a fair yield in 1923 de pite the weevil, for long ago he spread over the entire State and farmer expect d hi depredation and pI' pared to meet him by diver i:fication, reduced acreaO'e and the judicious u e of poison. They did not expect and could not foresee the unfavorable weather conditions. With the exception of four or :five counties, cotton may be grown ~ each of the 160 counties of our State. 
n is probable that the GeorO'ia crop of 1923, of 587,969 
equivalent 500 pound bale , records the low water mark in the State' production, and that with rea onably favorable sea ons and an increa ed u e of calcium ar enate the production will gradually ri e; thouO'h probably it will never again reach the crop of 2,700,000 bale made in 1914.

 As a Corn State 
Every County Grows It 
THE'n DISPFANS ~BLE GR IN, CORN, may be successfully grown in every ection of the State. The yield averages from 12 to 25 bushel an acre, depending largely upon the kind or soil on ,vhich it is, grown, the variety of seed used and the ffilthods of cultivation. 
In the pioneer days of Georo'ia's agriculture, especially in the northern and Piedmont sections, it was thought that corn couJd not be successfully grown except in the valleys or "bottom lands," as it wa more generally designated. 
Modern methods of agriculture have demonstrated conclusively that tho e who wisely take the advantage of our soils and seasons may grow corn and expect bountiful yields on the hills and plains as well as in the lowlands. 
The 1;lsual time Jor planting this grain, taking into consideration the whole State, ranO'e from the first of March to the last of April, however, in some in tances it is planted earlier and in many instances later. A late crop usually can be easily produced by planting in June, especially the first part of the month and using early maturing varieties. Citizens of Georgia are familiar with local conditions and Imow these things. The prospective farmer, knowing how indispensable this grain is to farming operation, may ask whether or not corn can be profitably grown in our State. A clo e scrutiny of the County Statistics given in Part III of this booklet will how that it i grown ovel: the entire area of our State. One of the unique f atures of corn growing in Georgia, which will be new to pro p ctive set-' tIers, is the practice of interplantinO' corn with peanuts, soy beans, cowpeas and velvet bans. ' 
This practice does not appreciably decrea'se the production of corn, but adds materially to the value per acre of the combined crop. For example, if the average yield of corn is fourteen bu hel , there is an additional yield per acre of ten bushels of peanuts, which, under the present circumstances, will bring as much a the corn. 
The growino' of leo'urnes in the corn also acts beneficially in building up the oil fertility. 
Dnles one takes into con ideration all the facts ,:mentioned above, an accurate idea of the value of an acre of corn in the State can not be ecured. '

 OATS 
Oats may be profitably grown in Georgia and thu add considerably to the farmer's revenue. The best season for planting oats is the Fall, e pecially September and October, however, they may be planted later lind in many in tances are planted in February and termed" Spring oat ." The grain produced by oats planted in the Fall is heavier and the general yield greater than the Spring. 
Modern methods have shown that oats, especially in the northern half of the State, should be drilled and planted in rather deep furrow. Such fields are rarely ever seriously damaa'ed by the cold during the winter. Thi crop often grazed in the early spring- months and harve ted in the late spring months gives Georgia farmer valuable source of food supply neces ary for the farm stock which, at thi time, mu t be used continuou ly in the cultivation of O'rowing crops anc~ the harve ting of small grain. This is e pecially true if for an reason whatever hi supply of corn and hay stored durina' the previou year ha become short or emau ted. 
RICE AND RYE 
These are among the minor crops of Georgia; however, the yield from these crops is of such importance as to justify their growth to a limited extent. Rice is grown for the grain while rye is grown for grain, for grazing and also as a green cover crop.

 Peanuts 
 
Last year outh G orgia witched from peanut to cotton, 
 
and wi hed it had not. Central Georgia tried peanuts on a large 
 
scale, and i glad it did. 
 
The sea on was very unfavorable, 0 far a vields were con- 
 
cerned, but this wa off et by very fine prices. In con equence, 
 
with the help of the growers' a ociation, mo t of the farmers 
 
made money, and will take unu ual intere t in the crop the com- 
 
ing season. Indeed, there is a pos ibility that the planting may 
 
be overdone. 
 
Commercial peanut are of the pani h type, and the statis- 
 
tics in Part III of this booklet contain data only on peanut 
 
planted for harve t, which are u ually planted alone. Be ides 
 
the commercial peanut, it i a general practice in the coastal 
 
plain to plant peanut in corn for hog. Thi practically pro- 
 
duces two crop per acre. The peanuts 0 grown are principally 
 
orth arolina runners, and eldom enter comm rcial channel , 
 
except when the price is unusual, and then they up t all calcula- 
 
tions. As a rule the e peanuts ar grown a the principal item 
 
of feed for thou and of Georgia porker .

 THE TABLE PEA 
 
The table pea is generally cIa sed with beans by Eastern and 
 
Western folk. They are entirely different from beans and fully 
 
as good, or better. 
 
. 
 
, 'Boston Baked Bean ," nice as they are, stand second to "Hop and John"-Southern table pea and rice served together. 
 
Table peas are good also for the milch cow, for pigeons, and for poultry in general. 
 
There are several varieties: the black-eyed crowder, sugar crowder, lady pea, speckled pea and the regular cowpea. 
 
When vegetables are off the market or, when on, at too high a price, every good Southern housewife begins at once to put edible Georgia peas into circulation. 
 
The value and usefulness of the Georgia table pea are recognized not only within our own borders, but in many markets outside our State. 
 
HAY 
There are perhaps a dozen grasses and lernmes which are profitably grown for hay. Cowpea and combinations of cowpeas with gra ses are of great importance. They rank high in proteins, beinD' almost equal to alfalfa. To the e may be added Soy Bean, Alfalfa, Velvet Bean and Clover. There is never enough raised to supply the State' need, and Cowpea, Soy Bean and Alfalfa hays are always in demand. Velvet Beans are largely used for cattle and hogs by lettinD' the animals graze them in the fields. The kernel' are quite hard and remain in good condition for the animals for many months in the winter. 
The recent addition of the O-Too-Tan and Laredo varieties of Soys have added to the profitable ha and grazing possibilities; yield of two to three ton per acre being po ible, with a resultant soil improvement. With proper care, a high quality Alfalfa can be raised that equals any brought into the State and a satisfactory price assured. . 
With the favorable conditions eri ting in Georgia for hay making and the feeding of animals by grazing, there eems to be no plausible reason why hay hould have to be shipped into the State for our live to k.

 \Vatermelons 
Our watermelons have a national reputation for earliness nnd quality. Georgia usually ranks fir t in quantity, shipping anywhere from ten to fifteen thousand cars each a on.

However, everybody knows all about G oro-ia melons, so why expand. Detailed lata will be found in the statistical supplement. 
Melons for home u e and for market in nearby towns are even better than the hippinD' ort, and thou ands of acres of . uch melon ar not inclu Ie I in the tabulated data.

 Pecans 
IN GEORGIA PEG iN 
The Georgia pecan is in a cIa by itself. Over five-sixths of the tree are of the improved variety, aud the balance principally good eedling of a nperior kind. There were about one million tree of bearing age in 1923, and in 1924 the number will be far iu exce of that amount. 
In addition, there are a number of young trees, which were et during the current winter, and which were not included in our e timate. 
This great industry, with its center at Albany, has grown up in the la t few yeals. About fi ve million pounds are produced for market, and are largely handled by co-operative marketing a socia tiOllS. La t season the price was 37 cent per pound aU around, with a net valuation of lightly under two million dollar. 
The time is in sight when the pecan indu try in Georgia will rival the walnut indu try in alifornia, if it does not already do o.

TRUCK CROPS With a wid sea onal and soil ran<Ye, there is carcely one of the truck crops that can not be grown in Georo'ia. Since the invasion of the boll weevil the farmers have been c1eveloping other sources of cash income than cotton. Among the e are truck crop. They require a maximum of kill and market knowledge, and there is considerable ri k in some of them. However, the possibilities of these crops may be seen when we quote the official figure for" cukes" for last year. This crop brought $160 per acre, althouo'h it was a very bad year. Among other crops grown on a considerable scale are: snapbeans, Engli h peas, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pimento peppvI'S, cantaloupes and watermelons. The truck crop industry is in its infancy, and shows promise of vast expan ion during the coming s a on.

 The Georgia Peach 
The Georgia peach is prop rly cla ed a one of the mo t delightful and lu ciou fruit placed upon the American market. The eagerness shown for Georgia peaches by a consuminlY public in paying a fancy price for this popular fruit, relYardle s of small or large supplies, proves their value beyond question. 
The largest peach orchards in the world are in Georgia. Fort Valley, one of the growing and thrivinlY cities in this ection of our State, ha in tituted an annual FE TIVAL ba ed upon the beauty of the orchard in the mid t of their full bloom sea on. It might "sell be t rmed PE CR BLO OM D Y. (See Some Georgia el britie in back of Part I.) 
The annual crop i ,alued at between nine and ten million dollar ; there are about eleven million bearing trees in the State. 
In the production of peaches, Georgia i econd in the tates of the nion, beino' urpa ed only by California.

 Live Stock In Georgia 
 
Raising live stock in Georgia is not an experiment. In 
 
the 'fifties, live stock farming was the successful practice of the 
 
farmers and planters. The results of the war between the sec- 
 
tions wrought a revolution in that respect. Apparently condi- 
 
tions at that time justified the disastrous" one-crop-all cotton" 
 
practice. Cotton was in demand at a high price per pound and 
 
was accorded "standing at bank." 
 
These facts constitute the "reason why" Georgia farmers, 
 
generally, gave the larger part of their attention, through a long 
 
series of years, to cotton culture. It was practically and exclu- 
 
sively THE MO EY CROP. 
 
In the present re-adjustment period, live stock has had a 
 
continued and healthy increase, and the cotton farmers are rap- 
 
idly realizing that it is the best insurance policy on the farm. 
 
Thousands of dollar are going into creameries, cheese fac- 
 
tories, fences, poultry feeding plants an 1 hatcheries, reflecting 
 
the faith of our people in the future of the industry. 
 
(See "Live Stock Po ibilities in Georo"ia"-Page 51, Part I) 
 
GRASSES AND PASTURES 
 
The climate and oil are adapted to the gra se.s and clovers 
 
nece sary for a long and heavy grazinO" p riod. Soiling crops 
 
and feed crop, mo t of which can be graz d off aving the expense of gathering, storino and feedin o', grow in great abun- 
 
dance and variety. This in ure a teady, profitable increase in 
 
our live stock industry. 
 
Recently considerable attention ha been given in variou 
 
portions of Georgia to what is known a permanent pastures. 
 
This may be a combination of foreign or native gra es. Tho e 
 
grazing their live stock on such pa tures are quoted as reporting 
 
sati factory re ults. 
 
BERMUDA A STAYER 
 
Bermuda gra i easily grown in all ection of Georgia. It 
 
has not only staying qualitie , but binding qualities also. Some 
 
one has said that "Bermuda will tie the ground so tight that 
 
you may run a mill dam over it without disturbing it in the 
 
least." It die down after the first fro t, but reports for duty 
 
at the first blush of spring. 
 
There are many valuable grasses indigenous to Georgia soil. 
 
In large areas of Georgia these wild gra es furnish ample 
 
pasturage on which live stock may graze for a large portion of 
 
the year.

 Hog Raising in Georgia 
The hog industry in Georgia i as yet in it infancy. Georgia's meat bill, in addition to home grown and home killed meat, ranges between fifteen and twenty million dollars annually. To illustrate the plendid opportunitie in Georgia's agricultural development, we de ire to call attention to the fact that during the year of 1923, throuO'h packing hou e ao'encie exclusively, 30,164, 46 pounds of dry salt meat, 5,015,667 pounds of sugarcured smoked meat and 4,12 ,740 pound of dry alt moked meat , or a total of 39,309,263 pound of" ide meats" were shipped into the State of Georgia. Converted into 150 pound hog, estimating" ide meat" to av raO'e 12 per cent of each hog, it required 2,1 3, 4 hog, weighin o. 150 pounds each, to upply this part of our meat bill. Each of Georgia's 160 counties would have to produce an additional 13,649 hogs in order to put Georgia on a self- u taining basis for" ide meats" alone. 
Those who are interested in greater details as to the amount purcha ed and the months during which these purcha es are heaviest, are re pectfully referred to the chart apparing in Part III of the stati tical ection of this bulletin. 
Thi chart indicates plainly the neces ity of :fini hing fall pigs for spring and summer markets. 0 state in the nion i better suited for this than is the State of Georo'ia with its unexcelled climatic and oil conditions. 
CHOLERA AND TUBERCULO~S 
In this connection it hould be tated that the office of the State Veterinarian ha been quite active in protecting our citizens from loss against hog cholera. Also a vigorous campaign has been waged against tuberculosi among dairy herds; thus rendering valuable service by way of protection to the consumer of milk and dairy product. A laro'e per cent of the pure-bred breeding herd of cattle in the State are on the tate and federal accredited tuberculosis free herd list.

In the pa t, va t quantitie of chicken anI ego- have been imported into the tate, but ince about 1915 our production ha been gradually ri ing until last year about one hundred cooperative carlot sales were held in this State; and a good many of these were shipped to ea tern markets.

 State Bureau of Markets 
 
By L. B. JACKSON, Director 
 
THE 
 
D NOW 
 
Looking backward to the year nineteen seventeen when the Georgia State Bureau of i[arkets wa created by an ct of the General embly, we remember that the newspaper of the State were constantly editorially deploring the fact that Georgia diver ified farm products had no market and that for this rea",on we were tied to the one crop y tern. It was true that if a farmer grew ornething other than cotton and carried it to a n arby town to try and realize orne ca h he wa doomed to bitter disappointment. Realizing that omething mu t be done to I' lieve our farmer of thi situation Commi ioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown, in hi succe sful campaign of 1916, forcefully called the attention of the p ople of the tate to this deplorable condition and pI dged that if elect d Commi ioner of Agriculture he would u e every mean in hi~ power to set up machinery within the Georgia Department of Agriculture that would correct the wrongful condition, and provide a market for those diver ified product that our farmer might grow. Commi ioner Brown al 0 drove home the fact that our principal crop-cotton-had been for years struggling under a y tern of marketing whereby the farmer had no voice or influence in the malting of the price. So, when Commi ioner Brown was elected and came into office in the Spring of 1917, he et about to carry out the reform about" hich he had been peaking to the people. 
A modest beginning was made by the ne,v-born babe, the State Bureau of Market. One of the fir t act of it en tence ha had a wond rful effect in the y aI'S that have ince pa sed. This Bureau discovered that w et potatoes had been left off the ration list for the Army and avy. GatherinO' data howing the superior food value of weet potatoe the Bureau went to the Quarterma tel' G neral of the Unite I State and pre ed th claim of the Sweet Potato. But the Quart rma tel' General made the announcement that the ration Ii t wa clo ed and the 
42 
 
 weet potato would not 0'0 on. Rallying our fri n 1 in Con9'1' th matt I' wa carried 0 th Pre id nt and he l' coo-nized the unju t and unwi e omi ion and ord red that weet potatoe hould go on the ration li t. nd 0 it came to pa that boy from the north who trained in outhern camp cam to know ih merit of 'outhem w t potato and have been a wonderful help vel' ince in acquaintino' other with our potatoe. nd 0, only a few month old in the umm I' of 1917, we appealed to the General emll} for 1 gal cr a ion and appropriation. They gave u our legal pow rs and a mode t appropriation. At nce we put men in the fi ld an 1 at every mall trading point in the tate we sought to in luce ome one to become a buyer of diver ifie 1 farm products. Our field men pledo'ed to such a buyer that if he would buy the e product from our farmers in small or large lot \\ would o'ive uch buyer all th a. i tance within our power to help him l' 11 the e product at a fair margin of profit. 
 
We then commenced our weekly "Market Bulletin." Our 
 
fir t i sue wa on a mimeograph and only containe 1 about a 
 
dozen item. But the thouo'ht wa a winner. Pretty oon our 
 
Bull tin a umed uch proportion that we ha 1 to abandon the 
 
mimeooTaph and u e the multio'!'aph. nd a littl later our in- 
 
crea e in matter and reader wa 0 0'1' at that we had to go to 
 
th ommercial Printing PI' 
 
0, today our" 1arket Bulle-

and every word in it fre h for that week. ar to a hun ired 
 
thou and copie a week and very one that o'et it ay they 
 
would not be without it. Th " 1ark t Bulletin" ha borne 0 
 
int rwoven in our farm life a, to be indi pen able. The "Mar- 
 
ket Bulletin" i lov d by everyone, except a lfi h O'1'OUp of 
 
profite I' and peculator 'who have b en trying to de troy it 
 
ever ince it birth. Cunning political trick of every nature 
 
have been re orted to in their effort to kill the" 1ark t Bulle- 
 
tin." Perhap a little later this story will be told in full in 
 
order that the farmers of the State may lmo" how hard their 
 
organ, the" Market Bulletin," ha had to fight for its existence. 
 
The elling power of the" Market Bulletin" i truly marvelous. 
 
nle one ha had experi nce with it you can hardl conceive 
 
the re ult you obtain by adverti ino' your farm product in it 
 
column. The Bulletin i free to everyone who need it. It 
 
column are fr e to everyone who ha a Georgia farm product 
 
that they wi h to sell or buy. We regret to say that we have 
 
43 
 
 had to deny the use to orne who e dealings with their fellow man proved unreliable. The Bureau of Markets .an 1 the" Market Bulletin" do not co t the a 1 valor m tax payer of Georgia a penny. It i maintained altoo-ether fr m the fertilizer tax. The money that now maintain the tate Bureau of brket and the "Market Bull tin," prior .to 1921 went into the pockets of the fertilizer companie. Th law of 1921 corrected thi and compelled the fertilizer companie to pay the State of Georgia the same a th y W re paying other outhea tern states, and provided that out of thi money 0 reco,ered that the Bureau of Markets and the "Market Bulletin" hould be maintained. 
omparatively few citizen of th tate know thi a toundino' fact. Th farmer of G oro'ia carcely know the battle it took to o'et this service for them out of money that wa rio'htfully for their ervice. 
And 0 the work continued to broad n until it became an e tabli hed fact that the farmer had for th m elve located in the State Capitol Builclino., at Ulanta, a mammoth clearing hou e for farm pro luct. The lin ext ndino' from the office in the Capitol to every nook an 1 corner of the tate and to all the buyer of the ation- Jorth, Ea t, outh and West. A OTeat big clearing hou e where ever farmer feel perfectly at home no matter if he ha only a dozen eo'O' or a carload of product. Ev ry man conn cted with the Bureau of Market i picked for hi peculiar fitne for the job he hold. Every man i~ in tructed to con tantly feel him elf in the hoe of the farmer and to han II the farmer' problem a if it were hi own. Every man with hi han 1 outstretched to help the farmer 'with any marketino- problem he may hav. And a the work proO're ed we find our field men holding hog and poultry ale all over the State. The offi e force reache out all over the land for the best price and then our expert are ent to grade the product . 
Soon aft I' the birth of thi Bureau w undertook under the leader hip of ommi ioner of oTiculture J. J. Bro',','u a fight for a better price for cotton. We call d th Commi ioner of ~ griculture and Market Director of the variou cotton tate into conference at New 01'1 an , anI there wa organized the Cotton tate dvi ory hrketlll0 ' Board, of which Commi ~ioner Brown wa ma Ie Chairman. Th functio of thi Board were purely advi ory. From tim to time th Board met and from data gathered on the cotton ituation gave out uch

Thi i th Board that wao' d the succe ful battl aO'ain t the Bill that were introduced in on!lTe by member from the orth eem o' to fix a price of fifteen cent a pound for our cotton, when it wa then bringing over thirty-five cent. This i the Board that uccessfully resi ted the effort that wa made before the Food Administration to take our cotton eed for Ie than what they were worth.

In addition to the twelve district a oTicultural chool, vocational agriculture under the mith-Huo'he plan i taught in forty-one hio-h chools for white and twenty-one for colored. In the e chools a practical four-year cour e in ao-riculture i giH'n a a part of the high chool trainin 0'. pproximately 2,500 pupils are emolled in the vocational aOTicultural cla es. Last year, these bo produced farm products to the value of $BO,322.18. Thi work was carried on as a regular part of their CllOOI instruction through "home projects." Thi amount was considerably in excess of the total co t of thi work for the la t year. It i , in fact, a return of $1.57 for every dollar invested in this type of education. The project returns for this year exceed those of last by $41,914.77. 
That cotton can be ucce fully produced in pite of the weevil was clearly shown in an exhibit at the Southea tern Fair, which gave the re ult of the cotton projects of the boys in the

Mr. Heide is one of the most eminent 
 
authorities on live stock in America: 
 
"The Southern tates, e pecially Georgia and the surrounding territory, offer one of the greatest fields for live stock development in the immediate future. The Gulf States have unu ual advantag s which so far have only been scratched on the urface so far as the raising of live stock for the market is concerned. The mild winter, which make expen ive equipment unnecessary, the abundant rainfall which insures against the drouo'hts of Ie s favored ection of the nited State, the large variety of native gra ses an 1 clover which thrive on many types of soils, the abundant supply of cheap nitrogenous concentrates for feeding, such as cotton seed meal and peanut meal, and many

That the outh can pro luce a high quality of live tock ha been amply proven b the ucce of entrie from this ection in the large t fail' and expo itions of th country. At the International Live Stock Expo ition, which i h ld annually in December at Ohicago, the Southern exhibitor haye time after time carrie 1 away the highe t honor in the face of the strono'e t competition to be found anywhere on the globe. During recent years there have been o'athered at Ohicago the champion judgi~g team amono' high chool tudent from every section of the country. In the e national competitions the team from the Southern tates hav captured their full share of the coveted honors. Georgia, in particular, ha made an enviable I' cord in thi field, rankino' fir t amono' all the tates that hav sent team to the hicago expo ition; and much of the succes of the t am from that tate i lue to the untiring work of the Supervi. or and teacher of l.gricultural Education for the Georgia tate Boar 1 for Vocational Education, who have fostered the tudy of live tock among the tud nt in GeorO'ia chool ."

 Public Schools 
Georgia i making plendid pI'ogre in the development of it public chool. The pa t four year have witne ed a wonderful improvement in the high chool of the tate. In virtually every county two and three-year high schools have been e tablished at accessible points. Only six counties are without the four-year high chool. Consolidation of school in a large number of counties ha not only bettered elementary chool training, but has been quite a factor in the development of county high chools-many of which are located out in the rural districts convenient to farmin o' communities. For the past three or four years, counties, di tricts and municipalities have spent, approximately, three million dollar a year in chool improvem nt , con i tin<Y of new building , equipment, etc. 
There i a state law requiring that one-half the State' total income be et a ide for public school education, amounting during the last fiscal year to approximately four and one-half million dollar. To upplement the tate fund, countie , di tricts and municipalitie levy a local tax for the upport of their ,chools. ccording to the la t report of the State Superintendent of School ,over ixteen million dollar wa rai ed, from all ource, during the year for the common schools.

 Mineral Resources of Georgia 
The mineral re ources of Georgia are both varied and exten ive. The tate is producino' at present more than 25 different kind of mineral in commercial quantitie. Thi great diver ity of mineral re ource i accounted for in a large measure by the OTeat diver ity in the geological formations.

MARBLES 
Previous to 1 84, the marbles of Georgia were practically unknown as building and ornamental stones, but at present the output of the quarrie exceed that of any State in the Union ,vith the exception of Vermont. 
The State capitol of Minne ota and Rhode I land; the United States Government building, Bo ton; St. Luke's Hospital, 
ew York; the Oorcoran Art Gallery, Washington; and the Field Museum of atural Hi tory, Ohicao'o, TIl., with numerous other hand ome buildino' throughout the nited tates, are constructed wholly or in part of the Georgia marble. There is probably no building tone in this country, in recent years, which bas gained such a wide-spread use and given such universal sati faction a the Georgia marble. The growth of the use of the ~ton ha al 0 been equally as phenomenal in monumental work. 
MINERAL WATERS 
Mineral springs of o-reater or less importance are widely distributed throughout the State. They are abundant in the Piedmont Plateau and Appalachian Valley, where one or more havinO' a local reputation ar met ,vith in nearly every county. The e pring are especially abtmdant in the mountainous reO'ions of the Piednnont area, wher many of them have become site of prominent summer re orts. 
ARTESIAN WELLS 
The arte ian wells of Georgia are practically all confined to the Ooa tal Plain, which is the only part of the State where the geological condition are favorable for artesian water upply in large quantities. 
WATER POWER 
It i estimated that the streams of Georgia at low water will furnish an aggreO'ate of 500,000 horsepower, only a small part of which i now developed. The money value of this power, reckoning a hor epower at $20.00 per annum, is $10,000,000, which i now nearly equal to the State's annual income from tax and all other sources.

 Stone Mountain Memorial 
Rapid progress being made in the carving of the greatest monu- 
ment in the history of mankind. 
By Rogers Winter 
As thi i ue of "G orgia griculture" went to pre " Gutzon Borglum, the great sculptor, wa carving the head of President Jefferson Davis and General Stonewall Jackson on the precipice of Stone Mountain, preparatory to unveilino' them on June 3, the anniversary of Pre ident Davi 'birth. 
The head of General Robert E. Lee wa unveiled on th precipice on Lee' birthday, January 19, with memorable ceremonies attracting national attention, and ince that time the great granite portrait of the outh' beloved chieftain has been seen and admired by thou and of vi itor . 
Although the three head of the three principal figures in the central group of the Memorial are by far the o-reatest portraits ever carved in tone or ca t in bronz , they repre ent relatively a mere beginning of what i de tined to be the upreme monument of all time. 
Davis, Lee and Jackson are the principal fio-ures of the central group; with them will ride four other mounted figures, representing four lieutenant-o'eneral of the Corr(ederacy, elected by a historical commi ion; while to rio-ht and left of the central group will weep a panorama repre enting the mobilization of the Confederate armed force . 
From the artillery group on the right end of the panorama to the la t man in th infantry column on the left end of the panorama, the sweep of the carvin O' "vill mea ure approximately 1,500 feet, and the height will. be approximately 200 feet from the top of the top figure to the bottom of the lowe t figure. 
Some idea of the magnitude of the arvin o' may be imao'ined from the following mea urement : 
Lee' head i twenty- ight feet hio-h from the top of hi hat brim to hi coat collar; hi no e i ix fe t long; fifte n men can sit on his hat brim. Lee's whole figure from hat crown to hor e's fetlocks will be 165 feet high, or a high a a fifteenstory office building; the other figures in the central group will

 be in similar scale; while the entire panorama will be of the ame relative proportions. 
J0 other monument in history compares with this. The Pyramids of Egypt are insignificant in compari on with it. Nowhere else can the Stone Mountain Confederat 1emorial be duplicated, for nowhere else exi t uch a mountain. The panorama carved across the precipice.will endure a long as the earth endures. A thousand centurie of ero ion will make no perceptible mark upon these colo sal figure cai'ved in bold relief in the living granite. 
Gutzon BOl'glum estimates the co t of the work-including the great Memorial Hall to be quarried out of the mountain below the central group-at $5,000,000. He e timate the time required for the work at ten year. Engine I' of the highe t standing have checked his estimate and pronounced them conservative. The fea ibility of the plan has been thoroughly demonstrated. The work i going forward ,vith increa ing progress. 
The money is being rais d by public subscription by the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial A ociation, of which Hollin . Randolph, a lineal de cendant of Thomas Jefferson, is pI' sident. The fund is o'!'owing teaclily and the rate of pro o'ress is increa ing month by month. Congre recently pa eel by unanimou vote a bill authorizing a special issue of five million ilver half-dollar commemorating the commencement of the work, and these will be sold by the A ociation for one dollar each, thereby bringino' into the A ociation treasury a very 0cJn:'Jiderable sum (more than a third of the cost of the work) in a comparatively short time. 
Although the work was tarted Ie than a year ago, Stone Moantain Memorial alreadJ i known around the world. It has received more publicity of the very highest quality in newspapers and mao'azines than any other public enterpri e in the world today. It i drawing to Stone Mountain more vi itor than are going to Mount Vernon, and as the work proo,!, ses the public intere twill increa e and the attendance of vi itors will continue to grow.

 A TYPICAL CONSOLIDATED RURAL SCHOOL 
 
0> 
 
The plans for this school, which were approved by the State Department of Education, 
 
>-' provide nine units of two standard size class-rooms each, giving eighteen class-rooms, besides an 
 
adequate variety and number of service rooms. The auditorium comfortably seats one thousand 
 
people. The building is of brick, tile and stucco construction, and was erected at a cost of $60,- 
 
OOO.OO-the result of a district bond issue against which were only nine votes. The lot contains 
 
nine acres, with beautiful school yards and ample athletic fields. 
 
Two hundred twenty-five pupils who live within two miles walk to this school, while as many more beyond this distance are transported in large roomy trucks. 
 
Many similar rural school buildings of fewer units have been constructed in various se\,;- 
 
tions of Georgia in the last few years, and thus the problem of equalizing educational opportu- 
 
nities in rural sections is being solved by consolidations of the" little one-teacher schools." 
 
Public sentiment for consolidation is growing steadily throughout the State, and rapidly in 
 
many sections.

The State Highway Department was organized in 1919. The tate Aid Road Sy tern con ists of 6,000 miles. 
ince the oro'anization of the tate Highway Department, there has be n built or i under con truction 2,300 mile of Federal id Road on the State Sy tern. This has been constructed according to the regulation governing the Federal Aid System, which matches dollar for dollar the funds appropriated by the 
tate. The fund u d b the State in road con truction is derived 
principally from two ource, namely, the automobile tag tax, and one cent of the tax on each gallon of gasoline. 
The co t of road building in Georgia runs from $5,000 per mile on andy cIa and top oil road to $34,000 per mile for bituminou concrete. 
The tate Aid Road S) tern includes 170,000 lineal feet of bridge, 65,700 feet of this at present has been constructed or are under con truction. 
Thi modern y tern of road buildinO' and road improvement in Georo'ia function und I' the direction of the State Highway Department, and i upported by Federal and State funds, a m ntioned above, together with local county funds.

THE GEORGIA BARBECUE 
Of the many distinct Georgia institutions, nothing stands out more prominently than the GEORGIA BARBECUE', To Georgia people 'the name suggests the feast; to the uninitiated the description is sufficient to bring them to the "anxious bench," and participation in a 'cue immediately enlists their support and patronage for this popular Georgia institution. 
This noon-day spread on long, pine board tables is an attractive feature of all-day political meetings, educational rallies, religious gatherings, fraternal convocations, and public occasions of every kind where there is "dinner on the ground_" Let it be announced previously that the dinner is to be a 'cue, and the interest manifested increases tremendously. 
We are giving herewith an Blu. tration of a 'cue being cooked. First, trenches are dug in the earth three or four feet deep and three or four feet wide, over which the meats are cooked. By chopping the backbone of the carcass lengthwise it can be spread out with shanks extending from the four corners, through which iron rods are passed; these rods, being longer than the width of the trench, act as n-irders for the carcasses, which are thus suspended as a net-work over the open top of the trenches, where they are ooked from ix to twelve hours. 
Dressed hogs, sheep, goats and cattle, of the desired size, are used. Large Quantities of hard wood are continuously burned in these trenches during the day and night before the 'cue, so that long before "daYbreak" they are veritable heated ovens, containing beds of live coals. These are now ready for the carcasses to be put in place. Many times this cooking begins at midnight; by careful attention and frequent basting of the carcasses with sauces skillfully prepared by our famous GEORGIA BARBECUE COOKS the meats are welldone "to a turn" by the dinner hour. In the meantime Brunswick Stew-Oh, mY!-has been prepared in great l,ettIes nearby-but we will not torture Georgia people longer-DI J ER IS NOW READY!

Tho e of u who are producer of farm produ ~ , up until the b O'inning of thi d cad ,have not made a conc rted effort to orO'anize for m rchandi in o' and ellino' profitably our product by th application of tried and proven bu ine m thod. We hav been content to produce a crop of otton, peanut or potatoe, pending much in the production of the arne and then to tru t to a local mark t, o'lutted ofttime ,in fact, more times than wa not the ca . Be ide being in the po ition of off ring our product to p ople who were over uppli 1 locally, which nec arily meant low price ,w have, in mo t ca e ,a farm I' , fund our elv ompetin o' aO'ain t ea h other in th ale of our pI' ]u t and at that, to a omI arativ ly mall OTOUp of conurn I' in our I' pe tiv ommunitie who w re already wellto ked or over- upplied.

Such pra tice anI oudition' amono' our G oro'ia and meri an farm('1' have lev lop d from y ar to year a more chaotic condition, ~Ilaucially peaking, until th I' ult i that a!rriculture i In a cri i. The .condition ha becom more a ute during the pa t f w year and the ne ity to do ornething ha arou ed

 the producer in all ection of the country an 1 th J , in co-opration with many un elfi h bu ine m n, d pen 1 nt upon a pro perous aO'1'iculture for their ucce an 1 xi tenc in bu ine ,have determin 1 to olv the marketing problem for farm product in thi country. 
Ju t prior to th beo'innin o' of the 20th entury, the producer of fruit on th Pacific Coa t found them elye in the am pI' licament. Th were producing fair crop but in the harv tea, on, du to the peri hable condition of 4-ho e product and to peculation in ellinO' them, they foun 1 that th T WeI' o'1'owin 0' farm pro luct at a pric far below the co t of production. 
They looked to other countrie to improve the bu ine side of farmin o'. The~ found that th Dani h farmer had, through contract or collective mark ting, been able to 01'1' "ery largely their marketing problem anI have tran formed the Dani b agricultur from one of adversity to one of prosp rity. By the beD-inning of the 20th Century, California farm l' had demonstrate 1 e p cially to producer and bu ine m n in California and to many other throuo-hout th ation, that farmer can co-operatively market their produ t to the adYantage of the con um I' and for fair pric to the producer. 
In the Fall of 1920, and th Winter month of 1921, the cotton, tobacco and p anut O'1'OW l' of th outh uff red unprece I nt I 10 e which erved to arou e our mo t prOOTe ive 1 ad I' hip in aO'riculture anI many of our bank I' and bu ine, men who, heretofore had not looked upon the agri ulture conlition with reference to narketino' y tern, becam very much concerned. 
The fir t out tanding ffort made to improve our marketing y tern for tapl farm product in the outh wa in the orO'anization of the Burl y, the Tri- tate and the Dark 10bac 0 Grower ' Co-operative A sociation in Kentucky, "' irginia, Tenne ee and the two arolina. 
Th tobacco 0'l'ower , face 1 as th y were with bankruptcy a ked Aaron Sapiro of alifornia, noted expert on o-operative marketing, to aid th m in th oro'anization and formation of a ociation to market their tobacco. In 1921, Mr. Sapiro vi ited Kentucky and the al'olina and, almost ov rnight, lmtiringly and un elfi hly pI' ented to the grower, banker and other bu ine men throughout the tobacco di trict, the principle of cooperative marketinO' and the b nefit that would re ult in the event orO'anization w re formed for eHinO' tobacco. The effort wa ucce ful and b thi time, within Ie than 
76 
 
 three year, approximately 250,000 tobacco grower or more than 75 per cent. of all of the tobacco grower in that di trict, have joined on or the other of th three co-operative a ociation for merchandi ing tobacco. It ha almo t completely tran formed bu ine condition, with the re ult that pric s hav b n in rea ed for toba co and in many way marketino- conlition have b en tabilize 1 that have redounde 1 in benefit to the tobacco growers and in pro p rity for th p ople who live in the tobacco ection. 
The cotton farmer were in no better condition in the beginnino- of 19",1 than the tobacco grower and they were looking for omethino', they knew not what, to hano- their elling y tern. Th y w re immediat ly attract d by the ffort and ucc made by the tobacco O'rower un 1 I' the leader hip of Mr. apiro, The re ult wa that by the end of the umm I' of 1921, large cooperative a ociation for marketin o' cotton were formed in Texa , Oklahoma an 1 Arizona. Th e a ociatioll ucc fully mark ted the 1921 crop of their m mb I' and becau of their , u ce ,Mr. Sapiro wa invited to a numb I' of th oth I' tates to ai 1 in the formation of co-op rative elling oro'anization for cotton. 
In 1922, oro'anization weI' completed for marketing the J922 crop in the, tate. of orth arolina, Georgia, labama and .\ rkan a.. For th pUr] 0 of gettino- th be t I' ult in elli11 0 ' an 1 o-orc1i11ating co-op rativ marketing for cotton in all of it branch ,the variou tate co-operative have formed the ~merican otton Grower. ' Exchan o'e. Th I' are now 12 of the tat that have association oro'anized and hart red, that belono' to th E_'change. 
The Ex hange 11a employ d pxpert and technical ability for eUing cotton for all of the member tate a sociations in the dome ti mark t a well a in or of mark t in foreio'n 
ountrie , t the pI' ent, Dr. B. W. Kilo'ore, a lea 1 l' in the d velop- 
ment of aOTicu]ture in.r rth arolina, i pre id nt of the Exhan o' and Mr. . O. Io er of Dalla, T xa ,i th ecretary. Beginning with th next ea on, th headquarters of the American otton Grower Ex hange will b 10 at d at Iemphi Tenn ee. 
Th big aim of th American Cotton Grower ' Exchano'e ito ell the otton of the tate a ociation co-operativ 1 rather than ompetitiv ly. By eUin o' otton for all of the tat throuo'h one agen y, th co-operative are able to exerci e a 0-1' ater influence on marketino- condition and, further, are able 
77 
 
 to market th cotton of the m mber of the various co-operatives, more economically, effici ntly and profitably. 
Producers in Georgia have not only adopted co-operative marketing on the contract plan for cotton, but associations for the merchandising of other farm products have been organized. Our yrup and watermelon growers are lling their products co-operatively. In 1923, under the leadership of Mr. apiro, the peanut grower of thi tate organized" The Georgia Peanut Growers' Co-operative As ociation" which is now engaged in marketing the 1923 crop of it members and only a few week ao'O, a sign-up campaign wa completed by the peach growers of thi state who will market their p ache co-operatively for a period of year . 
It was a big undertaking for a group of cotton growers or the grower of any oth I' product, a for that matter, to attempt to change the oIl or "dumping" sy tern of elling farm product. The han Her of and dealer in farm product (the peculative interest ) y aI'S ago had become efficient and powerful in their defense of a ystem that had meant more financially to them, than to tho e \\7ho actually produced the product. To change the old ystem ha. been and i an economic strugo'le. The effort has demanded un elfi h and able leadership and th movement has tried inde d the conviction and devotion of the grower who, although tired of the old y tern, were uninformed a to the method and workino's of the co-operative ystem. 
The co-operative mov ment in the South and in G orgia has made won lerful trides. It has gained for it elf by actual practiced and d mon b'ated benefit, the co-operation of many grower and bu ines men who, in the beginning, for the lack of information, weI' either indifferent or the most outspoken oppon nt of the co-op rative plan. The re ult is that today bankers and busines men in all section are actively a si ting the variou co-op rative a ociations in their efforts to change the old or "dumping" y tern of marketing farm products so that we will have not only better return to the growers for the products they produce, but a more orderly selling y tern and stable price condition at all times. 
In this great movement, the grower who have formed asociations have had co-operation from various forces that was almost indispensable to th ir ucce . In our tate, the pre s has rendered an unparall led ervice, thoroughly un elfish, courageous, and intensely intere ted at all times. We have had the co-operation of all of our agricultural organizations and state agricultural institutions. Such upport ha meant a great 
78 
 
 deal to all of the co-operative and without the active upport of the tat Bureau of Market in thi tate, in view of the hard con lition confronting oro'anization, it i v ry doubtful if the cotton o-operative would hav be n oro'anize l.

 A we gain a greater control of the particular commodity handled by an as ociation, to that extent uch as ociation is nearer complete ucce. omplet succe s will give us fair price and tabilized market for our products. 
The aOTicuItural and bu ine leadership of the country i committ d to co-operati e ;marketino- a a policy. In fact, the agri ultural and bu ine I a I I' hip of the country i a favorabl to o-op rativ marketino' a they are to any other financial policy that concern the welfare of any considerabl portion of our people. How vel', th OTeat t hindrance preventino' the rapid oTowth and ucce of o-operativ a ociation i the lack of information. When our farmer and bu ine men know the theory of co-operative marketino' and the a tual working of the variou a 0 iation , the oTowth will be greater an 1 the re uIt will incr a in benefit even in a gr ater proportion. Thi point was well tated a short tim ago, by the editor of the Progre ive Farmer when he aid in a masterful e litorial-" Only a lack of knowledo'e of all th facts prevent 90 per cent. of the farmers of the outh puttino- their cotton in the han I of their co-op rative marketing a ociation. Such action would prevent manipulation of the market by peculator and tabilize the market und I' th law of upply and demand to the benefit of the produc 1", pinner and consumer. The wonder i that at least the producer and spinner do not ee this and realize that no power on arth an destroy the co-operative , b cau e th yare fundamentally ound in onomic. The tim ha ome for every farmer to how on which ide he tand. If und I' pre nt conditions he will not join th fight for hi economic rights, he doe not de erve economic fre dom." 
Whil our primary problem i the lack of information, the co-operativ ar ncourao'ed by l' a on of the fact that aunuall they are adding to their ranks thou and of producer which, in a word, mean that the G orgia and American farmer are at la t building an ord rly sellin 0' )7 tem for handling their product. 
A con tant and continued tudy and pre entation of the theory and principle of co-operative mark tino- will erve not onl to educate t11 producers, who are primarily intere ted in a better price for farm product , on the principle of co-operation, but it will mean a better under tandino- on the part of our great public in thi country who e intere t in co-operative marketing will certainly promote rather than retard. 
In organizing a co-operative association, Aaron Sapiro, who 
80 
 
 has proven him elf so valuable to co-operative groups in this country, lays down eight e ential that must be incorporated in the marketing agreement which all producing member ign, a follows: 
1. Organize on the ba is of the commodity or clo ely related group of commodities. 
2. Organizations to be non-profit and preferably non- tock. 
3. Member hip confined to grower only. 
4. Legally enforcible marketing contracts for a period of 
years. 
5. Internal pooling by variety, grade, and quality of product. 
6. Employment of expert in all technical po ition . 
7. Control of a sufficient volume of production to make the co-operative a market factor and to insure low overhead costs. 
8. Federation of local associations into state exchanges and co-ordination of tate exchange into national groups for appropriate purposes. 
It is n cessary to know the principles of co-operative marketing and to abide by them for co-operative marketing to succeed. Then, once a co-operative a ociation i organized, the next important step is to get capable management which will, in every ca e, be able to manage the affairs of the association economically and for the benefit of the member growers. 
I want to tate again, however, that no greater service can be rendered the co-operative mov ment now than by helping the various association to educate and inform the growers and the public generally on the principle of co-operative marketing as well as the workino- of the variou co-operative associations that have been organized and are ucces fully functioning today. 
In building up the co-operative y tern, we producers can be assured of more profitable and certain returns for our products. This is not the only benefit, however, that will accrue from cooperative marketing. It will help to make our agricultural peorle a free people financially. 0 nation can produce thinking men and women unless its citizen hip lives under an economic sy tern that will permit them to hold up their heads as free men. Our people:mu t be given the chance to have for themselves decent food, decent clothe and comfortable homes in which to live. They mu t have the opportunity to end their children to 
81 
 
 schools and good churches. These conditions can be had only under a system of economic freedom. 
The peculative sellino' y t m for farm produ t , or the old y tem, i the arch-enemy of economic fr edom for the actual producer. The co-operative y tem i the one and only y tem that ha vel' giv n economic freedom and an int llig nt elling y tem to any cIa of producer of farm products. It i o'aining for it elf the co-operation of farm l' in all ection of the state and country. It de erve the un tinted and unselfish thought and help of ever man, woman and child who depend on farming, directly or indirectly, a w 11 a tho e who would have th produe l' receiv a fair price for the product they grow and equal opportunitie for I v loping the edu ational and piritual life and condition of ev ry farm community in our tate and ountry.

 GEORGIA PEACH GROWERS' EXCHANGE, MACON, GA. 
By J. G. Carlisle, Manager. 
More than 30 year ago, before the boll weevil was even thought of, a OTOUp of Georoian , who w re large cotton planters, began to diver ify their crop and xperiment with peaches in a small way. In the beo'innino- the varietie of the pre ent day were unknown. The e grower continued their experiments through their nul' erie, hipping peache by expres to nearby market and later to more di tant mark t , and in the early day one of the pioneer, who e nam now tand hio'h in the Ii t of distingui hed Georgian, beo'an hipping under refrigeration (which in tho e days were crude) to Ea tern market. As time pas ed, varieti w re improved until to lay we have the armen, Hiley Belle, Georgia Belle and the Elberta, four well e tabli hed varietie known the countr. over, and from the mall beginning in ,middl Georoia th indu try has pread throughout middle Georo'ia, Northea t Georgia, North Georo-ia, and in some se tion of orthwe t Georgia. 
The bu ines increa ed to a point where the marketing facilities were inadequate, a few of the markets on the Eastern Seaboard beino- the only mark t taku1 0 ' an intere t in Georgia peache and naturall th e mark t were over- rowded and there wa no di tribution. In 1907 th grower from all over the State met in Atlanta and oro'aniz 1the Georgia Fruit Exchange. At that time the maximum number of car moving out of the State was around 3,000. 'l"'hi organization function d until the indu try grew to it pre nt proportion, the high peak being reached in 1921 when more than 10,000 carloads were hipped. With the increa e in th production ame the n ce ity for expan ion of the marketino- faciJitie, 0 that in the fall of 1923 the growers held two ma me ting in {acon and d cided to reorganize their marketin o' ao'ency, e tabli oIling the Georgia Peach Growers' Exchange, which uc eeds the G orgia Fruit 'Exchange and which dir ctl control the laro'e t percentage of the crop of the tate. Thi Ex hano'e i oro-anized on a trictly cooperative, non-profit ba is. Only OTower are ligible to member hip. Each grower ion. a marketin o' agr ement, giving to the Exchano-e the exclu ive rio-ht of marketin o' hi crop. It i a 
tock oro-anization, but hareholc1 I' are lhnit d to p ach growers and it is impo ible for the ontrol of the organization to pass out of th hand of th OTower. On of the problems confrontino- the indu try i an improvement in the o-rade and pack of peaches. In this the grower give the right to the Exchange 
83 
 
 to supervise the grading and packing of his fruit. This i of the utmost importance a experience ha hown that only the best fruit can be sold in the markets. There i no market for poorly graded and poorly packed peache. The expen e of grading and packing i ju t a much on inferior fruit as on good fruit. Government tati tics show that 25 to 30 per cent of the production of Georoia peaches have heretofore gone to the City of ew York. It i the purpo e of the Exchange to accomplish a wider di tribution of the crop so that the markets of the country may be well supplied without creating gluts. 
The Exchange ha arranged for Government inspection of peaches at shipping point. The U. S. Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the State Board of Agriculture will send experienced men into the field to supervi e the grading, and only peaches which can pa s these grades can command the market prices. 
In doing this we are not unmindful of the fact that a large number of over-ripes and culls must be provided for, and we have employed a Research Chemist who is now making a study of the various by-products of the Georgia peaches. Following are some of the uses for our Georgia peach products: 
CRUSHED PEACHE: sed in the manufacture of true peach ice cream, jam and jelly trade, confectionery trade, for pies and icing layer cake , etc., in the bakery trade, hotels, restaurants, and home uses. 
CO CE TRATED PE CH JUICE: ed in the manufacture of true peach juice by adding back the water. oda fountain trade, bottling trade, jelly trade, confectioner and ice cream trade. Dome tic trade for making a delightful fruit punch. This concentrated p ach juice will keep indefinitely in its yrup form. 
GEORGIA PEACH BUTTER: Used as a delightful spread in homes, hotels and restaurants. Also takes the place of high grade jams and jellies. 
The Georgia Peach Growers Exchange has arranged for crop insurance which protects its members from all hazards beyond the control of the growers. 
These are some of the things that we hope to accomplish. The peach crop ranks second to cotton as a money crop in Georgia, and with improved grades and wider distribution we hope to realize its maximum value for Georgia growers.

 NATIONAL PECAN GROWERS' ASSOCIATION 
Albany, Georgia. 
By Wm. P. Bullard, President-Manager. 
About eighteen years ago there were formed two nut growers' organization that have ince been functioning with progressive influence-the Georgia-Florida Pecan Growers' Association and the ational ut (Pecan) Grower' Association, which meet once a year in various sections of the United States to discuss que tions of variety and varietal adaptations, cultural, pruning, fertilizing, spraying and other problems incident to pecan development. After the industry got well on its way towards fruitage the question of marketing began to be discussed and at one of the annual meetings of the Georgia-Florida Pecan Growers' As ociation a committee headed by CoL C. A. Van Duzee, of Cairo, Ga., one of our oldest and best men in the industry, was appointed to study the broad question of marketing and, in its discretion, set up the machinery necessary to market the vast crops of pecans that were sure to come in the future. 
This committee took up the problem and at the following Fall meeting of the ational ut (Pecan) Grower ' Association made a report, which report was adopted and the same committee was made a committee of the ational ut (Pecan) Growers' Association, thus constituting the same personnel as a committee of these two influential associations. Thus fathered the committee pursued its labors and in due time organized the 
ational Pecan Growers' Exchange on the exact lines of the California walnut and almond growers' marketing associations that have done so much for the walnuts and almonds of California. The Exchange was the first co-operative to function in Georgia and at that time there was no co-operative marketing law and incorporation had to be effected through a very mall capital stock with shares placed at $1.00 each and only one share to each grower and tho e shares not to carry dividends -thus constituting as nearly as possible a non-stock, non-profit a~ ociation which is required of all co-operative marketing organizations. Later on a co-operative marketing act was passed in Georgia and the Exchange amended its charter so as to bring it wholly within the line of that law and also within a similar law that had been passed by the ational Congress.

 ident of the ExchanO' vi ited California and traveled through the length and breadth of that tate tudying all of their great co-operative marketing a ociations in order to learn the underlying principle of tho e ucce ful one and to di cover the fault of tho e that had not b n prosperou. Thu equipped the National P can Grower ' Ex hang tarted on it way of true co-operative marketing in Georgia. 
The Exchange ha b en fun tioninO' in an active way in the market for six year and i now known from Ocean to Ocean and the Gulf of M: xico to the Great Lake , and in fact beyond the Lak s to Canada wh re we have a OTeat many hipment a widely eparated a Montrcal in the Ea t and vVinnip g in the Canadian orth" t. We have al 0 made om hipment abroad and have laid plan to open up the European market a oon a economic condition b come favorable over th re, and thi will ab orb the urplu that we may have in the future and be a af ty valv to the indu try "hi h other I,rodu t do not have. Walnut, almond ,peanut and other pro luct uffer from th impendin o' dano' I' of foreio'n importation whi h the pecan is ingularly free from. 
It i an axiom in marketin o' circle that co-op rative marketing i built on adversity-that any in lustry mu t first reach the aturation point 'in the market and th 0To~er become in a manner d perate before th yare ready for co-operative marketin o. Thi ha not been true in the p can indu try up to thi tim ,a omparatively f w gro~er have felt the n d of th Exchange to market their nut, and con qu ntly th Ex hano'e has not made the quick headway that co-operativ marketing a sociation are cxpected to make. However, it lla o"0ne on carefull an 1 laid the foundation af and ound for a broa] uper- tructure and not only ha it marketino' line be n well laid throughout the country with the good will of broker and jobb I' and con umer but has b come known among grower throuO'hout the length an 1 breadth of thi fair land, and i opening up a field of 0'1' at u efulne . The member hip of thi Exchange has doubled in the la t year and indication. are for a heavy increa e in member hip from now on. 
When the Exchange first began operation the principle of co-operative marketing were little known-but in the la t three or four years co-operation among agricultural clas es has been sweeping over the country like a conflagration. 
The ational Pecan Grower ' Exchange ha done a great 
87 
 
 deal for the pecan industry in Georgia and other States. When it wa :first organized, the price of nuts was quite low but through it efforts prices gradually increa ed until they were double what they were at it beginning, and it has been the means of putting hundreds of thousand of extra money in the pockets of pecan growers of thi fair State. Before we organized, the large t speculator in pecan at Albany brago-ed that he would soon be able to buy all the pecans he wanted at hi own prices, but at the clo e of the Exchange's fir t year's work thi peculator told one of our director that the Exchange had cau ed him to pay ten to twelve cent more per pound to the growers than he would otherwi e have had to pay. 
The Exchange at lbany ha a ub idiary organization known a the Alban Di trict Pecan Exchano-e which ha built a property costing $40,000.00 at Albany for proces ing and preparing nuts for th market through this ational Exchange. Occa ionally a doubtino- Thoma come along and a ks if there really is anything in the p can bu ine ,but a glance throuo-h our big fine plant er ted for the ole purpo e of aidino- o-rower in the marketing of their product i a ompl te an weI' to that query and thus convinc s th inquirer that the pecan business in Georgia has one of the o-reate t future of an agricultural product of thi great Empire tate of the outh.

 SOWEGA MELON GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. 
By J. J. Parrish, Secretary-Manager, Adel, Georgia. 
Watermelons have been grown in Georgia for more than forty years and in the early days of the industry all shipments were consigned to commi ion merchants and a fair return received, but as the indu try 0'1' w, buyers from the principal markets came into the field and bought on track and for several year this method of marketing wa profitable, however, in later years, due to the peculative influence the profit in the industry became barely tlfficient to keep the growers interested. Some year the crop would be old at a los , while other sea ons it would show a mall profit. 
By 1920 the melon industry had fallen largely into the hands of unscrupulous speculator , a condition brought about through the practice of several evils, the most important of which being on the part of the producer in loading out and placing on the market unripe and inferior quality melons. In a mea ure the producer was not entirely to blame, however, for he never received a fair price for but a few of the fir t cars each sea on. The balance of hi crop or the nicest, ripe t melons u ually old at greatly reduced price and ometimes actually were given away. With uch a condition exi tino- it became perfectly natural for both grow I' and buyer to swindle each other in their efforts to get by, resulting in a most disastrous effect upon the indu try a a whole. Man reliable dealer absolutely quit the watermelon bu ine and had it not been that a few of the dependable eli tributor remained in the bu iness watermelon growing would have been abandoned in Georgia. In the year 1920, which was a good crop year, and when business wa good in the orthern market , the average price per car received by the Geor!!"ia grower for their melons was only $64.65 per car. 
n was in 1920 that the 0'1'ower began to realize that some- 
thing had to be done to save the industry. They knew nothing of the modern co-operative method of mark ting, but they believ d that to produce better quality and carefully hanc1le, grade and pack them, would make their product sell for more money. Fortunately their idea was correct and the success of Georgia's first co-operative, the Sowega Melon Growers' Association, bears evidence of the fact. 
89 
 
 The principal objects in the promotion of a watermelon association were to produce a better quality and grade the shipments, thereby correcting the existing evils from the producers' standpoint. Havino' only a partial control of the melon shipments in the beginning, the task was vel' difficult, but through persistent efforts of the Association member hip a gr at change ha been brought about and the grower have practically abandoned the former methods of production, handling, hauling and loaclino', and are now producing a more perfect quality and are taking a peculiar pri h: in offering for sale a better watermelon. 
When the A ociation wa organized it wa found that all the evils did not exist with the producer, for prior to 1921 twelve large cities received practically all of the watermelons shipped from Georgia, an 1 hardly a sea on pa ed but that these markets became glutted and demoralized, a condition that could not be avoided for the rea on that no one had control of the di tribution, and the peculative influence in the distribution made one shipment in direct competition with another. 
It then became necessary for the As ociation to o'et a wider distribution, to open more markets and protect the existing markets against an over supply, and to do that the services of a nation-wide distributing agency were secured and during its three years of operation ha developed hundred of market ; has influenced many reliable dealer bac'k into the business and ha been in trumental in forcing out of th business many disagreeable and unscrupulous dealers. This ha been done by reason of an organization, for no individual could have accomplished it. During the sea on of 1923 the a sociation melons were sold in 776 different market in the United States and Canada, many of the markets never having received a carload of melons before in their history. Through thi systematic method of distribution, which is not possible where melons are sold individually, more people were encouraged to eat melons and a demand created that the ssociation could not supply. By increasing con nmption through a wider distribution the industry has become profitable, for during the 1923 season the Association netted to its members an average price of $205.55 per car, which is $140.90 per car more than they received in 1920, and not a single market of the country becanne glutted during the season. 
It is not now, nor will it ever be the purpose of the Association to monopolize the industry, or to restrain trade, but 
90 
 
 instead, it de ire i to reduce peculation and wa te, and through National di tribution of a o'ood quality standardiz d product, increa e con umption, thereby making it po ible for the indu try to TOW and pro per. 
The member hip of the A ociation has increa ed from 1 than _00 in it fir t y ar to more than 1, 00 in it fourth. Ther ba been no barn tormin o', no hio'h po"" ered drive, or emotional peech making. It ha adh red trictly to the co-operative id a and its growth can w 11 be attributed to the rvice it ha rend I'd the .melon grower. It is manao'ed an I controlled by th m exclu ively, without any out ide influen e, and b m I' incerity of purpo e ha advance I it ontrol from fiv per cent th fir t year to v nty-fiv per c n the fourth year. 
normal waterm Ion rop in Georo'ia will yield to the o-rower , if marketed co-op ratively, a um in exce s of $3,000,000, and a melons are produced in rather a restricted area, the indu try can be cIa d a on of the mo t important money crop of the oa tal Plain reo-ion of Georoia.

The object of the 0ciation i to promote orderl marketing and to eliminate wa te and peculation. Any Georo-ia peanut o-rower may b com a member on th payment of a member hi} f e of $5.00, provided he io-n a contract to d liv r all of the peanut o-rown by or for him, ex~ept uch a may be I' tained a e d for hi own u e, to the As ociation through 1927. All that i nece ary for him to retain his m mber hip is to comply with hi contract and to sign a new one on the expiration of hi contract at the end of 1927. All contract will expire with the delivery of the 1927 crop. The orio-inal contract sio-ned la t year were for five years; those being igned till year in a follow-up and exten ion campaign will be for four years; those in 1925, for three years; those in 1926, for two year ; tho e in 1927, for one year. Then the

 length of the new contract will be agreed on by the board of directors, who are elected by the members. 
Accomplishments of the Association to date have been too numerous to recount, but probably the most ignal accompli hment is that credited to the ociation in being the large t ingle factor in peanut price averaging higher in the Fall of 1923 than the average price for peanut during the entire time they have been a money crop in Georgia. The As ociation also established the most complete warehousing y tern ever set up in Georgia for peanuts; develop d the be t o-rade of eed peanuts ever offered in the tate, and fo tered the Georgia Agricultural Credit Corporation, through which member of tandard cooperative marketino- a ociation may obtain even per cent money from the Interm diate Credit Bank at Columbia, S.

 PRACTICAL FERTILIZER FORMULAS Revi e 1 
 
(Taken from " ~gricultural Aid and Facts," 1920.) 
 
This bulletin contains an up-to-date Ii t of fertiliz l' formula for the practical u e of Georo'ia farmer. Quite often reque ts come to u for information concerning soil in various parts of Georgia and fertilizers uitable for the growinO' of different crop on those soils. The farmer recoo'nize the value of the intelligent u e of manure and commercial fertiliz l' in securinO' be t crop re ult . 
Recently there came to my de k a device in the form of a eli c, or rather two di cs attached, which wa not only unique, but, in my opinion, u eful in a certaining proper fertilizers for Georgia oils in th growing of her principal crop. Thi device was the work of Dr. J. . Harper of the Soil Improvement Committee. Recognizing great merit in the work that he was undertakino' for the advancem nt of Georgia agriculture, I addres ed a communication to him, reque ting that he prepare a li t of f rtilizer formula for Georgia, eliminatinO' a man a po ibl and thu implifying for the farmer the 'work of electing hi f rtilizer by reducin0' to the minimum the number of formula nece ary for all crop and all oil in our tate. Dr. Harper cheerfully consented to render this valuable ervice to Georgia' aoTicultur. Hi letter follow

I believe that there is a great need for the farmers of thi State to reduce the number of formula they are now demanding.

 ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The merits of thi Ii 1. of fertilizer formulas for Georgia oil are apparent at once, and be peak for it the commendation of all interested in the improvement of agricultural condition in Georgia. I desire to return my thank to Dr. Harper for hi kind co-operation in an effort to render a service to the agricultural intere 1. of Georgia. I feel ure that thi list will receive the approval of those farmer in our State who have already worked out the fertilizer problem, as applied to their individual farms. However, there ar many farmers in Georgia who have 
not atisfactorily solv d this problem, and al 0 many who under 
the e acute boll weevil condition are ub tituting for cotton other crop with which they are not entirely familiar. Thi Ii 1. is given with the hope that it may prove helpful by an wering various question relative to manure and fertilizers which are being asked in this day of intelligent farming. 
In addition to what ha been said above and pI' ceding it from a point of importanc 0 far a it goe ,i the farmer' compo 1. heap. 0 farmer can afford not to collect, by cement floor and other en ailable means, all the refu e matter and plant food material that may be had in and around the barnyard and the farm premi e in general. Home-made manures applied to the . oil a early a po ible 0 a to avoid 10 by fermentation or ctherwis and the oTowing of leguminou crop, form one of the mo 1. sati factory and efficient mean of oil impro\ m nt for G orgia farm. ece sarily these processes can not extend over t.he entire farm, but hould alwa receive the farmer' cIo e 1. attention and, a rapidly as po ible, let him extend thv areas thu improved.

 FERTILIZER FORMULAS FOR GEORGIA SOILS. 
By J. J. HARPER, Director, 
Southern Soil Improvement Committee. 
The requirements of plants are the same, no matter where grown. Therefore, among the factors of plant feedin o', the kind [md quantity of nutrients that a plant needs are constant and well defined. If only the plants' food and feeding habits were all that entered into the makinO' of fertilizer formulas, the problem would be very simple indeed. 
But the soil's part in feeding th plant mu t enter into the formula-finding equation. Soils vary in their plant food cont nt and also in their ability to release what they have for the u of the plant. The soil's variations, however, are not 0 numerou nor so complex in Georgia a to require a great num1> I' of fertilizer formula . 
A practical balanc d ration of plant food can be obtained c.n all soil types for all crops without the great number now employed in the production of fertilizer . 
It i true that the mo t popular formulas have been worked out through year of trial, adaptation, and elimination. They have the endor ement of experience. It i de irable that there hould be as few fertilizer formula a are practical for obtaining profitable production. The O'reater the number of formulas the greater the expen e of manufacturing fertilizers, and therefore, the greater the co t of fertilizers to the farmer. 
When it is realized that a fertilizer plant must stop, that all parts of the mixer mu t be cleaned out in changing from one formula to another, it will readily be seen that a large number of formulas will add materially to the operating cost. 
With the end in view of directing how the number of formula can be reduced without acrificing any necessary plant food combination, the writer brought under consideration the finding of outhem experiment tations; the practices of many leading farmers whose names the county agents supplied; the data contained in the oil surveys of the United States Department of Agriculture; and personal observations and studies. 
96 
 
 Out of thi data, the kind of fertilizer formulas found practical and profitable have been catalogued. They have been found to vary with general soil regions. Therefore, each soil region has been studied to determine the best formula to use on each crop grown therein. When this had been done for all of the main oil reo-ion, it wa found that the rano-e of formulas was not wide, that in fact, a comparatively few will serve all purposes. 
The result of thi tudy leads to the recommendations here tabulated, which afford abundant variation in formulas for all differ nee of oil and for different crops when grown on the main soil types of Georgia. 
These formula apply to general conditions and fit in with g neral farm practice. There are, however, conditions under which the formulas recommended should be modified as to their nitrogen content. For instance, where a legume has been grown or where manure has been applied, the percentao-e of nitrogen in the formula can be reduced. One can tell when there is an exces ive amount of nitrogen in the soil, as compared to the oth l' element , by the over-growth of the stalk. 
Lime is rarely needed as a plant food but as a soil conditioner it can be widely used, especially as a correcter of soil acidity 0 that legumes will thrive. 
In the tables given below, it will be observed that the main oil types are taken in each soil region of the state. These types are predominant. Others are so closely related to them in plantfeeding ability as to make the recommendations in the tables e entially all that the state as a whole requires. (THE THREE GRA D DIVISIO OF SOILS ARE SHOW ON COVER PAGE.) 
In the following tables the first figure represents the percentage of pho phoric acid, the second the percentage of ammonia and the third the percentage of potash. 
NOTE: Dr. Harper has revised the following list of fertilizer formula. They are up to date and give the most recent scientific information pertaining to this important feature of Georgia agriculture.- [Ed.]

BRIEF SUMMARY OF GEORGIA NURSERY LAW 
 
Georgia ur eries. 
 
All nul' ery stock, greenhouse plants, sweet potato plants, 
 
etc., must be inspected and certified before being moved from the property on which they are grown. 
 
After the nursery stock or plants have been inspected the grower or nurseryman must secure certificate tags and attach one tag to each bundle of plants or trees leaving- his property. 
 
In order to secure these tags a nurseryman must take out license and make a surety bond for $1,000.00. The nursery license i $5.00 annually, and the bond for "$1,000.00 may be signed by a surety company or a reputable individual not con- 
 
nected with the nur ery and owning $1,000.00 worth of unincumbered property. 
 
Certificate tags are i ued at actual cost after the grower 
 
ha complied with the above requirements. 
 
. 
 
Movement of plants or nul' ery tock without a certificate taO" attached is a violation of the law and will be prosecuted. 
 
OUT OF STATE NURSERIES 
Out of tate nul' eries de irinO" to hip nul' ery stock to Georgia must :file with the Georgia State Board of Entomology a copy of their nul' ery certificate, along ith their urety bond for $1,000.00. Upon receipt of this bonel and nursery certificate, Georgia permit tag will be i ued. All nul' ery stock entering Georgia must have two tags attached, namely, the inspection tag of the state of origin, along with the Geor!ri.a permit tag. Out of state nurseries must al 0 file an invoice giving the amount and kind of stock shipped to Georgia, along with name and address of consignee. 
Nursery stock and plants from Japanese beetle area in ew Jersey and Pennsylvania will not be admitted into Georgia.

 Don't waste your energy and money planting cotton and let the boll weevil eat it up. The products of this train, used according to the directions of the State Board of Entomology, will save -your crop. Not a single complaint has come to us for the past three years from any man who has used good calcium arsenate according to the Board's instructions.

 GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY 
The Use of Calcium Arsenate in Georgia 
The Georgia tat Board of Ent mology began experim ntal work for the control of the boll weevil at the time of Its first appearance in G orgia. Calcium arsenate was found to be the best poison for ontrolling the weevil. In 1921 our present recommendations for the u e of calcium ar enate were worked out and distributed. That year we did not push the use of calcium arsenate because of the low pric of cotton, and the high price of calcium ar enate. The legislature, at Its session in 1921, pas ed a law requiring the Georgia tat Board of Entomology to buy and sell calcium ar enate to the farm rs at co t. In 1922 the Board put on a vigorou ami aign for early and sy t matic poisoning, and a large supply of calcium al'senate was pur ha ed and furni h d to th farmers at 9 c nts p I' pound. The farmel'S b came Interest d at this price in the us of calcium arsenate for th control of the we vil, and the campaign that was being pushed by the Board. Th Board th n, in co-op ration with the railroad. worked out a method of distribution by means of "P ddl I' Cars," These cars W re sidetracked at every important station. Although the p ople had scar ely hard of calcium ar enate th y came out to the trains. accepted the literature given out, and a large number bought, though some of th m only in small amounts to try out. They carried this horne and appli d it to their cotton according to the instructions of the Board and found that it would kill the w evil. They then wanted to buy more arsenate, and th ir neighbors seeing the results, al 0 wanted to purchase it. This created such a demand that the Board wa scarcely able to supply the calcium that eason and over 150 cars were sold. 
By this method and the use of it through the ason of 1922 the cotton grow rs proved to thems Iv s the advantag s to be d rived from this poi on in the control of the weevil. Ince that time the demand for calcium ar enate has Increa ed very rapidly in the tate. wing to the very high price PI' "ailing last year, 1923, the distribution was not as large as It sh uld have been, but a great deal more was u ed than during the PI' vi us y aI', ev n at the high price. The price made by the Board wa 15c to 16c which was very much cheaper than the price PI' vailing in other states. 
Th Board was able this year to make a price of 11* c nts in car-load lots, 12 cents On the "p ddl I' trains," and 12'h ents in Ie s than car-load lots, all dellvered to the farmer. The tate has purchased at the PI' sent time more than 10,000,000 pounds for u e this PI' S nt s ason. 
Georgia poisoned last year 3 % of its acr age, while throughout the cotton belt an average of I than 60/0 was poison d. It is said by p ople who are in 
position to know that Geor ia has purchas d this year one-third of all the calcium arsenate sold. 
Owing to the weather conditions in south Georgia last y ar the crop in that section was almost a total failur , not so mu h by reason of the weevil, as on account of lhe inces ant rains. How "er, in north Georgia, \Vh I' calcium ar enale was generally u d, the crop was gr at I' than the y ar b fore. In 1922 they used approximately thirty cars in thi ar a. In 1923 the farmer decreased the acreage 14,700 acres and u ed ~O cars of al ium ar enate, and with this deer ased acreage and increa ed u e of calcium arsenat th y made an Increase of 19,700 bal s, giving an incr as d value wllh the d I' a ed acreag-e and incr ased use of calcium aI's nate of $5,5 6.900. This I' port Is tak n from the report of the Georgia and West Point Railroads agricultural departments and covers the territory along their lines. 
Thi year the Board I running its Peddler Train again and by so doing is Increasing the use of calcium arsenat v ry much. The farmers, wher they have the money or can secure it, are buying the amount lhey ne d. Th yare not depending on th weather to save their crops, but are planning to insure them by the use of calcium ar enate. Th banks in th country districts throughout th state have be n a very gr at h Ip in n ouraging the farmers to buy calcium aI's nate, and In most instances furnish the money. 
Th Farm Demon tration A ents have also b en very activ and have given splendid co-operation, with a f w exc ptions. in helping the Board to g t a supply of calcium arsenat to the fal'mer. They have advertised and made up carloads and have been of gr at benefit. Also we can not give too much praise to the railroads who hay in very way co-operat d and helped th Board in operating their trains in di tributing calcium ar nate. Every official of every road has complied with prac i ally every requ st mad f them by the Board of Entomology in connection with the di tribution of calcium ar nate.

 TOBACCO 
 
Tobacco grown in the tate of Georgia may be cIa ified 
 
into four type: Fir t, " hade" tobacco, or the wrapper to- 
 
bacco of outhwe t Georgia; econd," lill" tobacco, or filler, 
 
grown in the same territory; third, "bright leaf" toba co, simi- 
 
lar to that grown in the Carolina; and la tly, "patch" tobacco, 
 
for home consumption, principally grown in north Georgia. 
 
The tobacco indu try ha had many ups and down. At 
 
one time we reached a total acreage of approximately 30,000 
 
acres. Bad sea on and low price again reduced that to a few 
 
thou and acre. For the la t couple of year the receipt have 
 
been very sati factory and, con quently, the acreage aO'ain in- 
 
crea ed to about 17,000. La t year tobacco made a splendid success in the al~ea where the boll weevil wiped out cotton, and 
 
the pro peets are that the increa e of the present season will 
 
make u one of the major tobacco-growin o' states.

 IRISH POTATOES 
Georgia Irish potatoe belong to two di tinct clas es. The early or commercial crop of the Coa tal Plain section and the medium early and late potatoe of the Piedmont. Chatham county very easily lead in commercial production with about 1,000 acres. Effingham i second. 
Attempt to grow potatoe on a large scale hould be made only by tho e who hav experience and capital. Through a large part of the tate potatoes for home u e can be grown sati factorily. In the upper third of the State the lowly" spud" is much more at home and there should be at least one-third of an acre on every farm. t pre nt the major portion of the potato u ed are hipped tock.

 MISCELLANEOUS SPECIAL CROPS 
In addition to the laro-e number of ordinal' field crops, which have some importance in the tate, there are a gr at many which have become important commercially in certain localitie . 
In northwest Georgia there is a con iderable acreage of strawberries grown. This indu try is attracting much attention this sea on. 
In Fannin, Town, nion and Rabun Countie , rye i raised on a very considerable cale. A large part of the rye produced in these cOlmties is u ed for seed, and it has e tablished qui.te a reputation for hardiness. EI ewhere throughont the tate there are areas where rye has reached commercial proportions, but none which could be compare 1 with these countie . 
Growing the pimento pepper first began at Experiment, Georgia, quite a number of year ago. From a mall beo'inning it has spread into all the counties surroundino' Spaldino-. Plants for canning this product will be in operation in Griffin, Macon and Moultrie durino- th coming sea on, with a po sibility of one or two other towns being added. Not only are these pepper canned, but large quantitie are being shipped every season to supply the growing demand in the great ea tern markets. 
In Decatur and Grady Counties cigar wrapper tobacco has been produced for many ears. This is a highly specialized industry, requiring a very large outlay of capital to build shade, and special knowledge and skill to cultivate satisfactorily. The industry is so different from ordinary tobacco growing that it warrants special notice. 
Early Irish potatoes in the Savannah section produce considerably more per acre than the general average state yield. These potatoes are put on the market in advance of the main crop, and also ahead of the Carolina and Virginia early potatoes. 
During the Season of 1924 there will be something over 2,500 acres of asparagus in central Georgia, from which" grass" will ee cut. This industry is constantly growing, and bids fair to become one of our most important ones.

 GEORGIA CROPS VALUED AT $236,000,000 
 
In spite of one of the worst crop seasons on record, Geor~ia crops this year were worth approximatey '24,000,000 more than last season. This was principally due to increases in value of corn, potatoes and other major crops. Tobacco, peaches, pecans and oats made larger crops than last year, but nearly all of the other crops were below those 
of 1922. Calculations are based upon the prices received by the farmers December 1st, except for the fruit crops.
