OUTLOOK FOR THE CROPS
Cotton Not Only Money Crop
in South Georgia
Albany, Ga., Sept. 11—1 In spite
of the cotton caterpillar, army
worm and rot and withering Au
gust heat, it is apparent now that
South Georgia is going to close
the year with a stupendous balance
on the right side of toe ;ledger as
the result of the section’s agricul
tural operations,
The cotton crop will not set a
new record, It has met various
misfortunes more or less serious
and the caterpillar has not yet
completed its depredations, Al
though receipts are considerably
vehind those of the corresponding
date of 1911, it is because the crop
is lnte and and the acreage reduc
ed and nob the result of any mark
ed fallipg off of the yield per acre.
In spite of an unpromising start
a good crop of corn has been made
and with the exception of an oc
‘casional farmer whose hay fields
have been devastated by the army
worm, all will gather into their
barns the finest crop of hay made
in this part of the state in many
vears, There is an unprecedented
demand for hay presses and the
question of adequate storage roorm
1S a serious one on many a farm.
Fine crops of potatoes, peanuts
and peas have been made and the
ispring oat cut was one of the best
In years.
The sugar cane bottoms, owing
to the abundant moisture which
they have had all summer, are un
precedentedly laxuriant and the
South Georgia syrup crop will be
ttée biggest and best ever market
ed.
MAGNIFICENT PECAN CROP.
As for the pecan crop, which
has assumed importance ouly in
recent years, it will be by long
odds tae finest ever gathered from
South Georgia orchards, All the
Other Good Makes of Suits, $1 0 to $2O
Other Good Makes of Coats, $ 5 to $1 5
bearing groves are fairly loaded
with nuts of the best size and
quality and the crop will have a
value which is expected to open
the eyes of even those who are
most optimistic for the future of
this important industry. Some of
the largest groves in this section
will yield fromm 50,000 to 100,000
pounds of papershell pecans that
will have an average of 40 to 50
cents a pound, though the com
mon hardshell nut retails for not
more than half that price.
Well known bankers through
out this section of the state de
clare that the outlook for the fall
season is particularly bright. There
is a distinct note of optimism in
business circles, the natural result
of better crops than usvaland con
fidence on the part of farmers.
There are more improvements now
going on in this part of the state
than ever before and building ac
tivity is unprecedented.

Bad Teeth Kill
! ok
| Many Children
;Dr. Harvey Wiley Says
| There Shouid be Dental
| Inspection in Schools
Washington, Se’ptember 12.
i The United States is going more
’:-md more toward socialism, and
' state aid for the public schools is
| socialistic, declared Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, speaking in favor of
dental inspection n the public
schools before the National Den
tal association.
“We are growing more socinl
istic every day,” said Dr. Wiley,
“and we are coming to think that
the state owes its citizens some
thing. Public education by the
state and the advocacy of gooc
roads by the state are socialistic
doctrine, and it is being urged or
all sides’ these days. We have
medical inspection of the schools,
and I believe we should have den
tal inspection as well,
“Toothhood is the time to start
this inspection and you cannot
give the child a better asset, as a
start in life, than a good set of
teeth.”
Dr. Wiley said that next to the
the importance of good teeth was
good food, but he declared he was
opposed to all efforts to modern
ize food in the way of having it
artificially masticated and digested
be fore eating,
One thousand children die daily
in this country, said Dr. Wiley,
and the deaths are due more to
bad teeth than to any other trou
ble.

Rgricuitural Meeting
At the Court House
Be at the Agricultural meeting
Saturday, September 14, 10a. m.,
at the Court House.. It is for you
and is a public benefit, and you
ought to feel interest enough in
the matter to be present and you
will if you do for others what you
are anxious for them to do for
you. There are five committees
to report on important matters,
and you should be there to take
such action as wisdo.n and justice
indicates. The following clipping
from the Macon Telegraph shows
how the farmers are lining up in
other counties, and I bet it start
ed rignt bere in Ben Hill county:
FIXL IMiT THEY'LL PAY
FOR PICKING COTTON.
M’Rae, Ga., Sept. 9.—At a re
cent meeting of the Telfair Agri
eultural Association composed of
Telfair, Dodge and Montgomery
counties, it has been decided and
agreed upon that the price of 50
cents per hundred be paid for
picking cotton this season, prior
to November 15th and from this
date to January 1, 1913, not over
60 cents per hundred.
An executive committee was
appointed, composed of men from
certain sections of the counties,
who are to secure farmers in
their neighborhood to co-operate
in maintaining the stated price..
The justices of peace, public
notaries and mayors rre request
ed also to enforce the vagrancy
law.
Last year as high as $l.OO per
hundred was paid for cotton pick
ing, and the high price demoral
ized the pickers, who would moye
from place to place looking for
higher prices, and the conse
quence in Telfair county was
more than two thousand bales
were left in the fields.
Its so much more complimea
tary to lead than to follow, so
lets puc on alittle more steau: in
every I'ne of public industry so
everybody can have a job and
every job completed on time.
