The banker gives as a reason a bal- anced agricultural program and the fact that the county seat provides a cash market every day in the year for every product of the farm. This eounty is Colquitt, in South Georgia; it has a population of 30,659 and an area of 520 square miles, The county seat is Moulfrle. The county and county seat have issued invitations for the rest of the State to come to & harvest festival on Octo- ber 22 and see just how the thing was done. The banker is W. C. Vereen, presi- dent of the Moultrie Banking Co. and & leader in the movement which has rvesulted in the present condition. His statement s backed up by the busi- ness men and farmers of Moultrie, Mouitrie people believe their success has resulted from their co-operation with the farmer. The business people made it a point to see that the farm- | er was able to sell his produce at a fair price. After the World War and the drop in the price of cotton many of the Colquitt farmers found themselves un- able to meet their obligations. Bankers agreed to renew their notes, but 1nade a | condition to which the farmers agreed. o Folks Know About} hay; 5 acres of sweet potatoes, cane | millet and home earden; 3 acres of | watermelons or tobacco or Spanish peanuts (depending on market ac- cessibilities); 2 acres of truck; 5 acres of cotton; 3'to 5 acres of low wet lands for pastures; 3 to 5 Milch cows, 2 brood sows and 50 pure-bred hens. Last year Colquitt County farmers sold 50,000 head of hogs for $2,650,000. There is a local packing plant killing 250,000 hogs per annum. Saved by Diversification. Diversification has reached such a point in this county that the failure of nO one or two crops can bring depres- sion. Tobacco, one of the county's chief gmaucu, brought the lowest price in | istory this year; watermelons were almost a total loss and cotton is ap- parently to bring less than cost of production, but prosperity still exists in Colquitt County. | Last year $521,000,000 worth of farm roducts were sold in this county.

The banks are doing excellent business, substantial increase over last year. The railroads have actually employed more men.
