NOT TO BE PRICED IN MONEY.
Rewards That Come to the Bov Who
Shuns Tobacco and Liquor.
From the Detroit Tribune.
A fine reward for a boy was that
given twenty-one-year-old Charlie
W. Hardy, of Port Huron, by his
father, two checks, each for $100,
and a handsome gold watch. It
was worth considerable effort.
Young Hardy got it tor abstain
ing from liquor and tobacco until
his twenty-first birthday.
But when you compare these
trinkets with the real reward
earned by the boy, they become
trivial. What is a paltry $200
and a watch to a boy whose body
and mind are uncontaminsted
witli appetites that prey? It is
ail right, that about the checks
and tlie watch, but to set a boy
up at twenty-one with good firm
muscles, a stout heart, a clean
stomach, and a mouth undefiied
is the reward upon which no man
may put n price.
Even better than the promises
of monetary returns would lie the
instillation into the boy’s mind
of the sharp truths, that not only
do youthful indulgences in nerve-
destroying vices carry big penal
ties, but nbstineuce in the early
years enriches file whole life with
rewards of health and courageous
principles.
“Boy, if you do not damn your
future by forming habits that
will undermine your mental and
physical faculties, you will get a
gold watch,’’ says the parent.
Very good. But, better: “Boy,
if you acquire an appetite for
drink and tobacco before you have
reached maturity, neither money
nor prayers will save you from
the harrowing results.”
And still better • “Boy, if you
form no bad habits and care earn
estly for your health, as trong
and happy manhood awaits you.
For health iB glorious; it is liber
ty; it is luxury; it is one glad
fruit of life. Everything else is
infinitely cheap.”
For, th« fulsest of all incentives
to good conduct is the promise of
money; the meanest, and, yet,
the most necessary, is the threat
of nature’s penalties; and the
greatest is the promise of nature’s
rewards.

they “arc not obliged to sign
away their liberty in order to
keep on Hie safe side.” They
know when they have had enough
—no danger of their ever becom
ing drunkards,” and the like.
The Doctor says: “True, you
are not obliged. But here is a
river we have to cross. It is
broad, a”d deep, and rapid; who
ever falls into it is sure to be
drowned. Here is a narrow foot
bridge, a single timber extending
across. He who is lithe of limb'
and steady of brain and nerve
may skip over it in safety. Yon
der is a broad, strong bridge. Its
foundations are solid rock. Its
passages are wide, its balustrade
is high and firm.
“All may cross it in perfect
safety—the aged and feeble, the
young and gav, the tottering wee
ones. There is no danger there.
Now, my friend, you say, ‘I am
not obliged to go yonder. Let
them go there who cannot walk
this timber.’ True, true, you are
not obliged; but as for us, we
cross that timber, though we may
go safely many others will at
tempt to follow us will surely
perish. And we 1 eel better to go
by the bridge 1”
Walking a foot-bridge over a
raging torrent is risky business,
I>nt il is safety itsfelf compared
with tampering with strong drink.
The surer the man himself is of
his own safely, the ]e«s other peo
ple are assured of it. When a
man is just about falling into
the abyss, ho is sure he is the on
ly sober man around. The total
abstinence bridge is strong and
there is room for the whole world
to pass over.

STRONG APPEAL
Of John Bostwick, Vice-Pres. Ga.
Div. Southern Cotton Growers Ass’n.,
to the farmers of Georgia.
For the people of Georgia, and
the South, to raise another big
crop of cotton this year, would be
the height of folly. To prove this
assertion, we will suppose that
1,000,000 mules are used in pro
ducing the cotton crop of the
south. Now if each mule should
produce 12 bales of cotton, this
would make a crop of 12,000,000
bales with a crop this size follow
ing a crop of 18,000,000 bales, we
could not expect over $25.00 per
bale, or a total of $800,000,000.-
00 for the entire crop. If the mule
should produce only 9 bales of
cotton, and make a crop of 9,000, •
000 bales, we would certainly get
$50.00 per bale or $450,000,000.00
for the crop. You see that we
would get $150,000,000.00 more
for the 9,000,000. bales than we
would get for 12,000,000 .bales,
besides we are saved the expense
of making 8,000,000 bales, which
is not less than $80.00 per bale or
$90,000,000.00. This added to the
$150,000,000.00 would make the 9,-
000,000 bale crop worth $240,000,-
000.00 more than the 12,000,000
bale crop. Now wouldn’t it be the
most foolish thing imaginable for
the people of the south to raise
12,000,000 bales when they would
receive $240,000,000.00 more by
raising 9,000,000 bales?
, To impress upon the individ
ual farmer the fact that it will be
a great deal better for him to
raise a small crop of cotton, and
plenty of feed stuff than to raise
all cotton, we will take 80 acres
of medium Georgia land and
raise all cotton and then we will
take 30 acres of the same grade of
land and raise cotton and corn,
and count the cost of production,
and the value of the crop in each
case of the all cotton crop we will
suppose that the price will be 5
cents per pound, and where we
plant half in cotton and half in
corn it will l>e 10 cents per pound.
We will take first 80 acres of
land and plant, all cotton.
Rent of land, 1000 lbs, lint cotton
at 5 cents $ 50.00
Three tons fertilizer at
$22.00 per ton 00.00
Mule feed to make crop 50.00
Extra help tor hoeing and

Mule rent 25.00
Ginning, bagging and ties

The average yield on 80 acres is

bale $800.00
800 bushel cotton
seed at 20c per l>u. 72 00
Total value of crop 872 00
X"t loss on crop $98.00
Mb' will now take 80 acres land
and plant half in cotton and half
in corn.
Rent, of land, loot) lbs lint cotton
at U)c per pound $100.00
Three tons fertilizer nt
$22.00 per ton 0(5.00

Ginning, bogging ahd ties
9 bales IS 00
Year’s work for one man 200.00
Total cost of production $459.00
15 acres of land with 2
tons of fertilizer, well pre
pared and cultivated will
make 9 fifties of cotton
at $50.00 per bale $450.00.
270 bu. of seed 54.00
15 acres in corn
with 1 ton of fertil
izer, well prepared
and cultivated, will
make 15 bu per
acre—225 bu nt
00 cents 186.00
7 tons shredded
stover at $10.00 per
ton 70.00
Total value crop $709.00.
The cost of production in this
case is $459.00 and the value of
the crop is $709.00 showing a net
profit of $250.00. If to this we add
the loss on the all cotton crop
$98.00, we will have $848.00 in
favor of the cotton and corn crop.
In this case we only planted
cotton and corn, if we had plant
ed wheat, oats, potatoes, etc.,
the profit would have been more.
The fact that I would like most
to impress upon the farmers of
Georgia and the south is this: A
12,000,000 bale crop this year
would mean 5 cents cotton and
financial disaster, not only to the
farmer, but to every business in
terest of the south: A 9,000,000
bales crop, with plenty of food
products, would mean 10 cent cot
ton and general prosperity.
Any man who attempts to raise a
big crop of coiton this year, un
der existing conditions, is an
enemy to himself and to his coun
try.
I advise the farmers of Geor
gia to plant at least half of their
cultlvatable land in food crops.
This will insure a moderate yield
of cotton and prevent the panic
that will surely come with a large
crop and five cents cotton.
