Where the blame lies in diversifying crop marketing
The article argues Athens and southern cities must create marketing agencies to support diversified crops beyond cotton. A Madison County farmer with 300 bushels of okra, unused due to lack of markets, illustrates the gamble of sticking to cotton. It urges establishing a produce warehouse or connections in major centers to buy and pay for crops, urging local chambers and clubs to sponsor such facilities first to attract farmers and products both locally and beyond.

Georgia lawmaker proposes biennial cotton ban to wipe out boll weevil
Hon T N Brown of Emanuel County introduces a bill to ban cotton production in Georgia in 1924 and in every alternate year thereafter. The aim is to starve boll weevils by removing their cotton host, possibly increasing long term yields though facing strong opposition. Brown argues cooperation from border states and farmers is essential to exterminate the pest.
