It hest ‘thwarts the claim that the public cannot own and operate a public utility. It has been a great asset in Thomasville, We think the penplel down there appreciate it for they have advantageous power and light ing rates and always show a neat earning. ,Their plant is a twin — water and light—enterprise, and the electric machinery is modern. That's saying something for electric inyely tion and improvement rugs, very fast in ‘this day. Pk « Thomasville produces its electric‘ “current at low cost. ‘lt is now avall able in the community at fifteen to fifty percent lower than the costs in Cordele—and all the ‘profits go_ te maintaining the government and pub lic institutions. * We regret that we have te write it, ‘but this town has given away more than five hundred thousand dollars since we have known conditions here '~~has thrown away in excess light and power charges more than that, There isn’t a business institution us ing any amount of current here to day that ign’t paying an excess over reasonable costs that will amount each year to a ten percent dividend on all the stock of the business so using the current, Take them up one side of town and down the other and that is true. We are glad— heartily glad—of one thing. We are hurrying to a day when we can lift that handicap, GROUP FARMING LESSONS We know of group steel production in the United States Steel Corpora ticn, We know of textiles in the great combine in that business. We know automobile + production from what General Motors is doing. We know but one sewing machine group, all under the head of Singer Manu faclin’ing Compnny. | So, in all lineg of industry. Even typewriters come to us from group ‘manutaclure. Bread comes that way.‘ Electrical equipment does the same. All the woolen manufacu}res are the\ product of group action, All the sugar comes to us from group pro duction under the direction of the ‘American Suger Refining Company. And all these are combined in their protection from outside goods of for cign manufacture—even Cuban sugar by a law which these great com bines doing group production have now in force through the republican administration. 'This is called the Fordney-McCumber tariff law. You doubtlegs have heard of this meas ure. Everybody benefits by this tariff law-—all the group producers of manu factured goods—because the outsider gelling hig goods here has first to pay a duty—a tariff, That duty puts a bandicap on the foreign producer who has goods to see at much lower price and leaves the American con suming public a fair and open field for the American group producers. We pay high prices — and higher ;)x'ice}—ton' everything. ‘ One class—the farmer—is left out.‘ He pays high prices for the manufac tured goods and gets low prices for his products, He prodyces, at hjgh cost because his supplies come at high prices. His buying dollar is diminished all the time and his raw products pile up on all markets be cause the buying power is small. The consuming public pays a high price and consumes less But all the time the group producers of manufactured goods are able to control the out put and the price because they do things by groups. Now, the farmer doesn’t do things hy groups. He doesn’t cooperate with his farmer neighbor and as a class he can do nothing. He cannot even put an advantageous measure through congress, despite the fact that he ig far the larger class in the country. He might get his raw products at less cost from the soil if he co-oper ated with his fellow and there could be group production. If he regulated his business like the steel mills, there would never be an over produc tion and there would never be a cmp‘ price below that he set for it. "He has the chance to sit on top of the wotld in both production and in price for crop—but he doesn’'t understand group production—he doesn’t co-oper ate, doesn’t group his goods for market and regulate the sale like Untted States Steel. But he could do that if he wished. | The banker in most instances is willing to give straight forward.co operation to the farmers who do aroup production and group selling. H. Lane Young, executive manager of the Citizens & Southern Bank of Atlanta, in a recent public address? hefore the agricultural section of th'oi American Bankers Association in Chicago. reveals that this lnrgost‘ banking institution in Georgia is con vorted to the cause of group produc ;‘.ox‘. and group selling for the farm ler. He gives an example at Tignall, Georgia, of the work of the Georgia Cotton Growers Cooperative Associa tion. Of the community center there he says: “At Signall, Georgia, for instance, one of these Community Centers has been established, ‘and the growers, in cooperation with the business men there, have established a gin for gin ning and processing the members’ cotton and for inducing all growers to plant one and the same variety of' 3cotton. In connection with this gin, the members’ cotton seed, bagging and ties, and fertilizer have been handled advantageously to the grow er, ‘ “This past year the cotton mark eting association manufactured and handled for its members, 16,000 tons of fertilizer and cleared a gross, prof it of $65,000, selling the fertilizer to the members at established prices and returning to them a dividend at the enq of the season, thus saving them over $4.00 per ton on their fer tilizer. ‘ “The growers not only profited in the matter of economical production by reason of the savings on their far tilizer, but possibly the greatest ben efit realized was that the right quali ty of fertilizer was furnished the igrowérs for the production of the dif ferent kinds of crops they wished to Brow, “Around these communiiy centers above mentioned, there are also be ing established dairy herds. They are also getting the farmers in these communities to raise one kind of poultry, one king of hogs, etc., and by putting in small cold storage plants they expect to handle all of these .pfoducts and distribute them to the market. And further on he says: i “A balanced system of farming means that we must have group ac tion in the proper distribution of the farm products produced. This in volves organization and cooperation amongst the growers, and such should have the wholehearted support of the pbankers and business men in every community or state where these asso- iciations, or cooperatives, are organiz eq for the prover distribution and sale of the farm products raised.” But group production and group selling cannot mean anything to the farmers till their best business man ,‘Etgera for themselves assume the lead and direct the group manage ment. In the cotton belt these men must be able to order certain acreage to cotton, other to peanuts, ‘ether to tebacco, still other to other crops for a definite market supply. They must be able to direct group buying of fer tilizers and supplies and then they lmust be able to name the price at which ‘the world can have it—and get }that price. If he would, the farmer has a much difficult problem in group action than Uniteq States Steel, but the latter gets a 300 percent divi dend now and the farmer gets—he gets nothing but more credit. A REMARKABLE EXAMPLE One of the most remarkable refor estation examples in Georgia is going to be the seventy-five acrés in pine trees on the Fenn farm three mileg morth of town on the National High way. | M. Fged‘Fenn’ put out fifteen acres ”in. young pine jtrges a year ago. Ninety-five percent of them lived and }are now growing off to a good pace. This year he has given sixty acres ‘more of waste lands to a young oOr chard set eight by ecight and all the experiment is adjacent to the Nation al Highway where it can be seen. Five years from now—not longer than that—some more of the owners of waste lands in this country will be wishing they had taken the same pains to start some pine, trees. This is said to be the largest sin gle undertaking at reforestation known in Georgia It is going to be watched with great interest by many. many people. Destroyers of pine trees for many years, we are back at the business of growing them again. JHow perfectly wonderful! MAKE THE YOUR HEADQUARTERS when in Albany.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH ~ WORLD RECORD JERSEY . If all the milk which the New York cow, Sophie’s Emily, produced cn official test in seven years was slaced i quaft,bdttl'es set end on cnd, ,thelse bottles would reach a helght of '7 1-3 miles, This illustra tion ‘gives some idea of the produc ing capacity of the greatest living dairy cow. 2 e In her seven successive tests Emily has produced ‘110,193 Ibs, or 51,253 quarts of milk, and 5424 lbs. of but terfat. This giveg her an average of 775 Ibs. of butterfat and 15,742 lbs. of milk for the seven years. In her latest test, which is her highest, she lyielded 838.93 lbs. of fat and 17,393 thg., of milk in 365 days. This superh Jersey cow is owned and was tested by W. R. Kenan, Jr., of Lockport, N. Y, a progressive Jersey breeder who has developed one of America’s highest producing dairy herds. ? Emily is a daughter of the Gold and Silver Medal bull, Pogis 99th of Hood Farm, and a granddaughter of Sophie 19th of Hood Farm, the world’s champion for lifetime produc tion, all breeds. | A SENSIBLE ATTITUDE. | Macon Telegraph: ‘ Without any preliminary fanfar:, without any of the blurbs that usual- ] ly acccmpany such action, the mem-‘ bers of the Educational Association of the Methodist church, South, adopted, in Memphis 'last weck, a regolution which contains the very essence of a sensible aititude on the part of religion toward science.
