A YEAR’S FARM PRODUCTS.
The service rendered hy the American farmer has
feen expressed in many different terms, in order that
ts magnitude might be brought home to us, hut after
11 these efforts fall far below the full power of graphic
icscription. That he feeds usaal as well as himself
—and gets very little in return is a fact which is not
.ulTicicntly appreciated in spite of all these illustra
tions.
But a well informed correspondent of The New
'ork Herald makes an effort which is at least impres-
! ive. He recalls that the farmer is a far greater
• inancier than the Wall street operator, whose trans-j
ictions look pale and ineffectual in comparison.
The American farmer last year took $14,755,000,000
Tom the soil, and this would he enough to buy all the
*ailroads in the United States.
This tremendous sum, the fruit of one year’s work,
e it remembered, would pay for every rail laid, every j
nginc and ear used—in short, pay for all the railroad |
•quipiTient and the salaries of all the officers besides, j
Indeed, the value of the products dug from the soil j
last year hy the American farmer lacked but little |
Her 99ft.000.000 of being equal to the total wealth of j
jhe entire state of New York.
Mr. Edgar !.. Cady, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., writer
if the letter in question, goes on to say:
rite corn crop alone rperesents more dollars
than the total earnings of all the railroads
leading out of New York city. The cotton crop
last year would start seven hanks as large as
the New York federal Reserve and have
" >l enough left to buy a dozen national banks. The
11 ben laid enough eggs to pay for the building
of another $50,000,090 subway in New York.
It is the fanner and not the financier who
has caused two tracks to he laid throughout
the United States where only one was laid be
ll fore. Reside the farmer keeps the balance of
, trade abroad in our favor by exporting $500,-
. 000,000 worth of produce.
Wall Street goes on betting in the mean
time on the rise and fall of is own quotations,
• oblivious nl the fact that 93,1)1111,000,0(10 worth
of corn and half as much wheat, grown some
*i where out West hy plain people whose names
\ Wall Street never heard, are the real factors
c in the prosperity of the railroads and supply
t the sinews of national industry.
These are cold facts which only too often are over
boiled. So far as tlie favors shown the farmer hy
by Wall Street, or by any other group of
aen is concerned, you would never dream that he was
nicli a factor in tlie life and the prosperity of the
j ountry.
‘ But unless we greatly misinterpret the signs of the
jjimes, the general public is slowly and yet certainly
oming to something of a realization of what is due
( "he fanner, and is becoming more and more impatient
■ f those movements or those agencies which tend to
) eprivo him of what is due him.
He has been robbed of his rights, and at the very
jVasl ignored ami neglected long enough. When he
„ ets out of the low grounds incident to the recent
period of deflation and depression, he will he more
;ro. .>‘ ions than he has been in years, anil at the same
;i- ;■ more assertive. He is going to demand his rights

< Four Ycar Governorship 1 arms.
' There is a sentiment for longer terms of office
’or governors. The change to four years instead of
• ‘wo in the terms of county officers has been a wise
1 ,>ne. Many Georgians have asked for biennial ses
sions of the legislature and the 1 922 Mouse of Rep-
Jircscntatives voted in favor of such legislation,
hough the Senate refused to pass the bill. In truth,
( there are many Georgians who desire four year
*erms for the state house officers and one sitting
( *n four year by tin general assembly. There is
. evidently cropping out a campaign to endeavor to
, bring about some such arrangement:
| 1 Twenty-two states hold elections every four
, hears and choose state officers for that period.
. They are: Alabama, California, Delwarc, Flordia,
l Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Car
olina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vir
ginia and Wyoming. Two territories, Alaska and
Jlawaii, have the same provision, while New Jer
; ;ey elects every third year.
I The Greenwood (S. C.) Index-Journal is striking
tut for four-year gubernatorial terms. The Green
ville Piedmont has enlisted in a like campaign. It
!s not wholly that the $41,825.00 appropriated this
i.car for general elections would be saved to South
Carolina, but that, under four-year terms, gover
nors (being made ineligible to succeed themselves)
(Vould devote themselves, with eut interruption to
the discharge of their duties.
Asa matter of fact the people are tiring of pol
itics too much politiis with all their turmoil,
iistractions and demands on one’s time. Fifty days
;n each four years of legislature duty would, it is
held, result in drawing the very best men into pub
ic life, men who, these days, will not give the exten
sive time to legislature sittings, that are demanded
•if members of the general assemblies.
I There is no dispo-ition to shirk polities. Partici
pation in politic.- -the selection of pubic officers at
Jhe ballott box —is a duty which a good citizens
nust perform. But there is a disposition to avoid a
teedless multiplicity of elections; to stablize ad
ministrative conditions in the state and banish the
turmoil and bad feeling which frequent political cam
paigns bring about.
• The time may come when we will have guber
natorial elections but once in four years, protected,
•’if course, by the recall and like safeguards. It would
*e an ideal arrangement. Six-year terms or eight
year terms might be more ideal.

Fitzpatrick's Farming Points Wat/ To Suc
cessful Cotton Crowing.
There are abundant evidences on almost every
hand of the success farmers have met with this
year by reason of the application of calcium ar
senate. That application of the poison increases
the yield tremendously is what practically every
user of it contends. The Chronicle wishes to call
| attention just at this time to the remarkable suc
cess which has attended the efforts of Mr. C. R.
Fitzpatrick, prominent farmer and banker of War
ren County, Ga. Mr. Fitzpatrick, has been for
years, one of the most successful and one of the
most prominent farmers in this entire section of
the state. He is a fine business man, has pro
gressive ideas and of course his success in com
batting the boll weevil will do a great deal to stim
ulate farmers throughout this entire section. Mr.
Fitzpatrick this year, planted between 750 and 800
acres of cotton. So splendid has been his success
this year, even in the face of adverse weather con
ditions for a large portion of the growing season, j
that the State Board of Entomology has called a
meeting for Friday of this week to be held on his :
farm. His methods of combatting the boll weevil j
will be studied and the members of the board will be
given an ocular demonstration of Mr. Fitzpatrick’s j
success. Mr. Fitzpatrick will give a barbecue and
there will probably he between three hundred and
four hundred people in attendance.
In Augusta yesterday, Mr. Fitzpatrick was ques
tioned by the editor of The Chronicle in regard to
his method of farming, and he said that high fer
tilization, rapid cultivation, and dusting with cal
cium arsenate are the secrets of his success. “I am
making around 200 bales less than I would have
made,” said Mr. Fitzpatrick, “because I did not fer
tilize quite so high this year as I have been fer
tilizing in the past. I used between five and six
hundred pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre,
using only phosphoric acid and ammonia, as I have
never been able to determine just what good potash
does cotton on my land. I should have used several
hundred pounds more per acre and had I done so, 1
am confident that I would have made 200 bales more.
I planted twelve to sixteen acres per plow, but I
would not advise every farmer to do this by any
means. I have an organization on my place and
can get work done as it should be done, and when
it should be done, and I would not advise that any
farmer plant more cotton than he can plow at least
once a week. 1 use power dusting machines and do
not believe in any other method of controlling the
boll weevil than by dusting. I believe that the Gov
ernment experts are wrong however, in telling you
not to begin dusting until there is an infestation of
ten to fifteen per cent. I think it should be started
earlier than this, because it is very important to kill
the early weevils. 1 estimate that it has cost me
about SIOO.OO per plow for all of my dusting, and of
course I figure that it pays me big. In other
words, if 1 make (>OO bales on my farm, as 1 ex
pect, with poisoning, the yield would have been about
one half or less without it.
We have determined that cotton can be raised suc
cessfully in boll weevil conditions, arid 1 am confident
that our farmers are going to grit their teeth and go
out with a determination next year, to make good
crops all over this section.”
It will be noted from Mr. Fitzpatrick’s state-1
ments, that he is a firm believer in the use of cal
cium arsenate, and in fact, he says himself that he
would not undertake to raise cotton without poison.
He says also that any farmer who makes a half
bale per acre without poison can make a bale per
acre with poison. He believes in the use of nitrate
of soda to make the cotton grow and fruit rapidly,
but he also believes in keeping up the poison from
the time the weevil appears until late in August.
The paper is glad to point to the success of Mr.
Fitzpartick who is demonstrating in a big way what
can be done in raising cotton under boll weevil con
ditions. There are many other instances of notable
success in the use of poison, but on smaller farms
than the one owned by Mr. Fitzpatrick. We con
tend that what Mr. Fitzpatrick has done in a big :
way, other farmers can do, and it seems to us that
this section can count on a very good yield of cot- :
ton almost every year by using modern methods in
combatting the boll weevil. Of course there is no
way to combat successfully boll weevil ravages
where there is rain every day for weeks and weeks
during July and August. It is very rare however,
that we have rains as we did last year when the cot
ton crop was eaten up by the boll weevil in July.
We would conclude that the prospects for cotton
production in this section another year are immense
ly inercasd by such demonstrations of success as are
found on the farm of Mr. Fitzpatrick and on num
erous other farms that do not compare with his in
size.—The Augusta Chronicle.
Denmarks Business Record.
The Birmingham Age-Herald is reading Den
mark a lecture which could be read in Washington,
D. <’., just at this time with a great deal of interest;
and a great deal of instruction.
For Denmark, which raised itself from poverty to
agricultural independence through co-operative mar
keting methods, seems to he forgetting the princi
ple of trade which caused her prosperity. Denmark’s
marketing system was a success because the ex
cellent quality of her standardized butters, eggs
and bacon opened British and other markets to
these commodities.
Now the Danish Riksdag has passed a law, ef
fective immediately, prohibiting the importation of
books, shoes, cigars and cigarettes except under
licenses from the ministry of commerce. This step
was taken, it is candidly stated, to “protect home
industries.”
As the Age-Herald states it, if Spain were to
adopt certain restrictions on imports and Germany,
France, Japan and other nations followed suit, it is
easy to see what effect would be on the commerce
of the world. Many gates would be shut to the pro
ducts of many nations, and those with a surplus pro
duction would be looking in vain for customers.
Trade isolation would mean trade stagnation.
“Suppose Britian, resenting the shutting out of
boots and shoes, shut out Danish butter and bacon.
Denmark would go hungry. Suppose America cut
off the exportation of cottonseed cake to Denmark.
That country would have no winter feed for its cows.
Imposing protective tariffs invites retaliation, and
it is a game that small as well as large nations
can play. It is especially foolish on the part of a
nation so productive as America, which for the very
reson that it must do a large exporting business to
keep its industries going, should cultivate the friend
liness of other nations by accepting what they make
in exchange for what we make.”
They now propose a conference to settle the war
idebts, the usual way to settle debts is to pay them.
THE NEWS AND FARMER, LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922.
BITS OF LOUISVILLE.
(With Apologies.)
The month of June is said to be
the month of roses, the month of
brides and the month of the sweet
girl graduate. Because the fall
months are the most beautiful it
would seem that all brides would
scorn the fiery June, leaving only
the glory of the rose for the adorn
ment of June, for wc contend that
the day of graduation hut three
months later does the sweet girl
graduate come into her own. The
night one attires one’s self in white
organdy—or white flannel—as the
case may he, and breathes deeply of
the air laden with floor oil and
crushed sweet peas is a glorious oc
casion. Teachers that a few brief
months before had assured you that
you would never “pass,” who made
sarcastic remarks about now you
spent your evenings, suggested with
rude blue pencil that you make use
of your baby sister’s sj |t ing hook—
these same teachers arise on this
fairy-tale night and tell the audience
of relatives and friends of your ex
emplary conduct and your high
scholarship—O, Bov, hut you are sit
ting on the world then. Hut wait
until September. That is true tri
umph. You motor up at your leis
ure on the opening day of school.
You sit well back in the rear. You
snicker when the long line of high
school students file in. You look
distraught when announcements are
made. When the exercises are over
you saunter out and slightly raise
your voice when a friend asks what
day you leave for college. It is well
that those left behind can see a
touch of gentle humor in your
superior manner, else the first day of
school would he unduly sad. If we
were poetic such a nice little poem
could he written about “Girls and
Boys who didn’t conic back—we miss
you.”
Wanted: A brownie. The little
hoy who lives next door is hard to
convince that brownies walk about
at night and pull leaves from the
trees and then relenting anil feeling
sorry for the fallen leaf they paint
pictures in red and gold on the old
leaf, teach it a pretty soft little song
to sing as it scampers over the mea
dow. Since the little boy demands
specific knowledge <>f these tiny
little fellows and wants to know' just
how they look we have searched our
memories and our picture hooks in
vain, for the memory is threadbare
and all the artists are crazy. Who
ever say a brownie with a figure
shaped like an egg? Why, the
thought is preposterous. We take
the stand that a brownie is some
thing like a fairy, only more mas
culine and w’ork-a-day. We believe j
that their eyes are brown, and their
shoes and caps and possibly their j
clothes, for brown is a good sub
stantial color that won’t show soil—
and brownies have little time for
laundry work. 'Hie size is what
bothers us. If they arc so small that
they can climp through the key hole
how ever can they steal the little
boy’s sweetheart? and that is the
very thing they are trying to do. If
anyone has any official information
it will be highly appreciated by the
little hoy.
The following is copied from Sun
day’s edition of The Pensacola
News:
M. K. (dark and Hunter Brown are j
feeling just a little blue. The old j
red school-house where they learned

Walter R. McDonald Candidate
For Railroad Commission
Walter R. McDonald, the blind
legislator from Richmond county, is
a candidate from Richmond county,
for the Railroad Commission of
Georgia to succeed Hon. C. Murphy
Candler, who is not offering for rc
election.
At the age of thirteen, a poor hoy
on his father’s small farm in Rich
mond County, near Augusta, the
youngest of seven children, he was
suddenly striken with total blind
ness. Realizing that the light of day
had been forever barred from his
vision, the young farmer boy set out
to win an education and with a de
termination to serve his state in
spite of his handicap of blindness.
Having advanced only to the fourth
grade in common school, and know
ing that his family was unable to
give him an education, he set to work
and, hy his own effort, working dur
ing school terms and vacation, earn
ed and paid for his education, gradu
ating from the University of Georgia
in 1911. Since I hat time he has suc
cessfully practiced law in the City
of Augusta, where he is considered
one of the ablest of the younger law
yers of that section. McDonald is
now in his early thirties.
Mr. McDonald is a man whose
cheerfulness is an inspiration to his
friends, of whom there are thous
ands. As an evidence of his popular
ity and ability the voters of Rich
mond County have for three succes
sive terms sent him to the State
Legislature over opposition. In the

correction in the old act. In that
form it was passed hy both branches
of the assembly, and, when sent to
the governor’s office for approval,
it was discovered that the document
as drawn was nothing at all but a j
bill caption and a repealing clause, I
with no enacting clause whatever
and, therefore, was wholly worthless.
The paper was vetoed hy thh gov
ernor, with the explanation that it j
was so faulty as to be entirely;
worthless.
Hurry-Up Foolishness
It was one of those numerous acts
of the legislature, which were jam
med through in the final hours of
the session when, as was quite evi
dent to everybody watching develop-j
ments, there was little real atten
tion given to what was going on, j
and less well-based knowledge of the I
| validity of anything being done. Its j
defect was discovered after the legis-!
I lature finally had adjourned, and too
late for any further correction to
be made.
The matter was taken up with 1
Governor Hardwick some days ago, j
and the governor at that time stated 1
to the state health authorities that !
he would do his best to find some j
temporary financial solution, and try
to find the money from some source ;
with which to keep the institution
moving until the legislature meets
again.
The remaining funds in hand for
the institution amount to an aggre
gate of a little less than $6,000 with j
the past month’s current expenses to 1
he paid, and for which hills have j
1 begun today to pour in.
In view of the fact that, when
these hills are paid, there will be j
left barely enough to provide for a j
care-taker to leave in charge of the j
property, and not enough to pay!
tho salary of the superintendent of
the institution, Dr. Preston, the
state board directed that immediate
steps be taken by I)r. Preston to
! close lip and temporarily at least
abandon the operation of the school.
Notices, therefore, have been sent
out to the parents and guardians of
the children at the place to make
immediate preparations to go to
Augusta and receive them.
The incident is one of the sev
eral of this kind which occurred in
the final hours of the last session
of the assembly, another being the
question now raised about the adop
tion of an amendment to the hill
abolishing the attorneyship of the
state highway department, which
certain supply dealers, contracting
! firms and insurance writers in At
lanta contend was not properly pass
! ed by either branch of the assem
bly. The amendment in question
provides that all appointments made
| hereafter, hy the chief engineer of I
the department, shall he subject to j
approval of the entire highway
hoard and, when the hoard is not
in session the chairman shall act
for the hoard.
The measure to abolish the attor
neyship was passed in the house
some time prior to the last day and
sent to the senate. It was taken j
up in the senate the afternoon of!
the last day and was liberally de- !
hated, several amendments being of-!
I fered during that debate, among
them being one to permit the de
partment to post notices of maxima
weight on all bridges and another
this discussed amendment putting
the matter of approval of all pat
-1 ronage appointments in the hoard as
! a whole, with authority to the ehair
! man to act when the board is not
in session. The amendment was
! duly adopted hy the senate the last
; afternoon of the session, after re
marks upon it hy at least .two of
the senators, and was sent hack to
1 the house in the night session for
i concurrence. In the house it came
up among o'her senate amendment
to hills in the night session, was
read hy caption with the senate
amendments noted and, during
something of a wild half hour, was
! concurred in hy the house without
much if any attention.
