Prohibition in lowa has proved a dead
failure. In many counties of the State
no attempt is made to enforce it, and in
the cities and large towns the number of
saloons for the open sale of liquor has
increared under its operation. Under
the former law the saloon ktepers had to
pay license, and now they pay none.
The increase in tie number of saloons is
thus easily accounted for. It was ex- j
tremely absurd to atten pt to enforce
prohibition in such a State as lowa, with
its largepopulation ofGermans, Danes and
Swedes, whose social customs and manner
of living revolt at such a system. But
the readiest violators of the prohibitory
law are the natives who helped to enact
it. What lowa as well as the other
States want is a high license’law. Phil

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
In Haralson county W. J. Reeves, who
has st Id whisky for years, was one of the
most active advocates fur, and voted for
prohibition.
A gentleman who is closely identified
with the liquor dealers of the state, said
to-day, touching prohibition:
“I believe in three years that it will be
a state law. 1 see it coming, and have
watched its workings. The liquor men
■are winning a victory now and then, but
what docs it amount to? The pressure is
too great, and it will have to succumb.
The reason is, that rather than break up
the democratic party in Geogia, the
Hquor men have let it go on in its career
until they arc now flat. That is cold
comfort for the ardent support it has had.
It has made the party, now it turns and
strikes us a death blow. Call that
gratitude?”
“You don’t mean that the liquor
element has ruled the political machinery
in the state?”
“I certainly do. You take the workers
at the polls and see who they are. You
take the enterprising men and they are
liquor weo. They have built up the
democratic party of the state by hard
work, and have been too patriotic since to
defeat it. Why, we could elect republi
cans to the legislature from Richmond,
Muscogee, Chatham, Fulton and Bibb, if
we so desired. Yet we are to sit still and
see the men we put into power break us
up. What we ought to have done was
to take the bull by the horns at first, and
forced the issue with the republicans und
the negroes. Say here is an independent
democrat offering for office. We have
our strength with the negro, and our
man goes in like a flash. It was not
done, and the day is lost."
hat do you think the effect of pro
hibition will be?”
“It will bo this. The people will have
it, but the traffic will go on It will be
the cause of taking toe business from :
good hands and placing it in that of men I
who will run the risk of selling it. They
will charge big prices, and sell to who
ever wants it. There will be no restriction
on minors, and the consequence will be
that there will be more drunkards in i
Georgia in a few years than was ever j
known before."
The election in Butts county resulted
in giving whisky 150 majority. They i
beat prohibition year before last only
twenty votes. Constitution.

The increase of crop and maintenance of the fertility ot the soil, are tho objects of greatest
interest to farmers.
The profits arising from farming are inexact proportion to the production per acre to the crop
cultivated
The cost of planting and cultivating is the same whether the yield be little or much. As the
profit is found in the price realized the first cost, it is of the utmost importance to make
every acre of land cultivated yield its largest possible produce
You cannot keep up the fertility of your soil unless you restore to it what you take away from
it >y constant cropping.
It is a fact beyond question, that the soil in the Cotton States is so exhausted from long culti
vation. that it cannot produce remunerative crops without the annual application of proper Fer
tifizers.
How r hall this exhaustation be replaced? By the application of concentrated crop food —
HOM EST KA l> G(I A NO— ccntaining all the elements of nourishment requir ed by the crop being
raised. It adds permanent value to your soil.

specially adapted for southern soils.
