BUI McAdoo says that Uncle Sam
Don't owe the railroads by a great big
d—n,
But that the roadB owe the old gent.
However, he'll never collect a cent.
The best way he can save his hoard
Is to .turn 'em over to Henry Ford.
He'd flivverizo the whole shebang,
But no-nccounts could just go hang;
Whoever works for Uncle Hank
Has to bring results or walk the plank
On broken bottles and old canH
Let everybody put their bans.
MoHquitocs make them breeding
places,
And here we get malarial traces.
It Isn’t Just a case of looks,
But one of health—so say the hooks.
Cotton price Is going higher,
Pulling up out of the mire.
Weevil, though, is working hard
To put tho crop in the disenrd.
Better prices and better times
Will make good subjects for Jazz

Panama yielded without bloodshed
last week to the territorial demands

States gunboats.
It is almost unbelievable, but the
news comes from an authentic source,
that the annual reunion of Confed
erate Veterans will probably not be
held this year because no Southern
city has extended an invitation.
Here's a pungent paragraph worth
passing along: “The mnn who is let
ting the other fellow do tho advertis
ing is tho man who is letting the other
fellow pay the income taxes; and
there’s no getting away from it, os
bad as we hate to pay the income tax,
we’re all glad to be able to owe some.’
In making a separate treaty of
peace with Germany, after helping to
furnish the ingredients for the cake,
we have refused to help make and
hake it, and arc now trying to grab
the frosting. A small nation could
get away with such a selfish program,
hut Uncle Sam may be big enough to
do it, though it will hardly make him
popular with the other nations.
Polk county farmers who can do so
should send their boys and girls to
the Seventh District A. & M. School
at Powder Springs. It is an excellent
institution that educates young peo
ple FOR THE FARM instead of away
from it, and does it at n minimum of
cost. The Standard is anxious to see
that Polk county gets her full srarc
of the benefits that await us there.
Undoubtedly the most effective way
of fighting the boll and price weevils
would be to establish a quarantine a-
gainst the planting of any cotton for
a year, as urged by the State Agricul
tural Society and Commissioner of
Agriculture J. J. Brown. It probably
would not be feasible, however, for
there would be some money-hungry
"specialist” who would announce that
if men who just naturally insisted on
raising cotton would send him $2
each, he would raise enough of some
thing else to knock out the quarantine
as monstrously illegal, contumaciously
unconstitutional, and utterly subver
sive of the right of anybody and ev
erybody to make ns many kinds of a
fool out of themselves as they wish.
There are plenty of people violating
the prohibition laws today just out of
contrariness, and many a man whose
common sense would teach him what
to do about cotton would plant io or
die if he were told that he had to quit
it. Too many people are always think
ing about their “rights” nstead of
what is right.
Like the declaration of war in
1D14, the "slump” last fall came at
exactly the wrong time for our cot-
ton-growers. It will be remembered:
however, that the Cedartown firm of
C. W. Smith & Son kept right on buy
ing cotton when it lay for weeks
without buyers in other sections of
the South. Score one there for the
Cedartown market!
This year there Is another big point
to score in Ccdartown’s favor. The
Liberty National Bank is a member of
the Federal Reserve System, which is
making every effort to relieve the sit
uation for the farmers, and a half
million dollars has been allotted to
that bank for louns on cotton strictly.
This outside money, in addition to
the regular liberal accommodations
extended by the Commercial Bank,
put Cedartown “on the map" finan
cially as far as the farmers of this
section are concerned.
Nobody is advising the fnrmcr to
either sell or hold his cotton —that
is a matter for his individual judg
ment. It is going to be necessary,
though, for everyone to meet their
obligations ns promptly as possible
thus season, for credit is not the easy
thing now that it has been the pnst
few years. The point Is that there
iH an abundance of money here to
take care of the fnrmer who may
wish to hold his cotton in the expec
tation of higher prices. The idea of
Governor Wellborn, of the Sixth Fed
eral Reserve Bank, which is head
quarters for the Southeastern States,
is to provide abundant capital for
"the gradual and orderly marketing”
of our cotton.
This fact will be an inducement to
farmers throughout u wide territory
to bring their cotton to Cedartown
this fall. And when they come, they
will find Cedartown ns good a place
to buy tfioir goods as to sell their cot
ton. In the meantime, they should
consult The Standard's advertising
columns and get posted as to the
places to sppnd their money to the
best advantage.
The Nitrate Plant.
Practically the entire South hopes
thut Henry Ford will be able to se
cure from the Government the big
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals.
This plant wns begun during the
war because of the enormous demand
for high explosive*, a board of army
engineers recommending its construc
tion to make "atmospheric nitrogen."
The world has been getting its chief
nitrate supply from Chile, nnd tho
idea wns to make the United States
absolutely independent of other na
tions on this line.
When the fighting was over, of
course, the pressing necessity for
such a plant ended, and Congress has
been reluctant to appropriate the vast
sums of money needed to complete it.
Unless finished, however, the millions
that have been put into it arc lost.
The great Wilson dam has been com
pleted on the Tennessee river, and
tho building of nitrate plants has
been begun at Sheffield, Ala., and at
the Shoals. Mr. Ford’s plan is to
complete the plants, und to manuac-
turc ntrates for sale to our farmers
as fertilizer in times of peace, and
if war should come it could be im
mediately converted into a plant for
making high explosives for the Gov
ernment. He would also furnish elec
tric power to Southern cities.
Mr. Ford offers to buy the land and
buildings for $[>,000,000 and to lease
the water power and the electric in
stallation for one hundred years at a
rental of $1,600,000 a year. This
would not, of course, recoup the
Government for the money spent on
the plant, which was being built un
der "rush orders” that did not spare
expense. This was necessarily the case
with most war work, and accounts for
much of the depreciation in value
now the war is over.
The people believe that Mr. Ford
will do something useful with this big
enterprise, while the government will
continue to find it an expensive
“white elephant” if it undertakes the
completion and operation of this
mammoth plant.
Most of the business of the world is
done on credit, and there is no ques
tion that the credit system had been
overdone before the slump hit us last
year. The Standard made the confi
dent prediction then, however, that
provision would be made for all who
were trying to honestly meet their
obligations, nnd the prediction was
well verified. We have still greater
confidence in repeating it now, since
conditions are growing so much bet
ter. Everything is going to work out
all right for the mnn who honestly
tries to pay his debts —and most peo
ple are honest. The fellow who tries
to get out of paying his just obliga
tions is going to find it poor policy
for both the present and the future.

T he Price of Cotton, j
The slump seems to hove hit the
bottom, and prices are again on the
up turn. This is especially gratify-'
ing in the case of cotton, where ourj
growers were faced with crushing loss
on both the carry-over from last year,
and on tho 1921 crop.
The present rise in cotton is due
to several causes. One of the most ]
potent is the fact that the Federal
Reserve Bank has given assurances
that there will be plenty of money to
finance the crop. Another is the
knowledge that five cotton states have
already signed up for the Co-opera
tive Marketing Plan, and that Georgia
is getting into line as the sixth. And
then, of course, the reduction in ac
reage and the ravages of the boll
weevil are making a short crop inev
itable.
Peace hns finally been declared
with Germany, and thiH should help
still further. Our refusal to join with
our Allies in the peace treaty of Ver
sailles has been very expensive to our
cotton farmers in particular. It has
been delayed so long, too, that Ger
many is today in a worse ferment
than at any time since the armistice
was,signed. If she could get down
to business, and if England —our
best cotton customer—could peace
ably settle the Irish question and we
could compose our own labor troubles
here, the world would be in a position
to “resume business at the old stand,”
after helping the starving Russians
to rehabilitate themselves. Our cot
ton growers could then hope to get
adequate returns for their crop. It
goes without saying that if we have
to depend too largely on a home mar
ket, the price cannot be satisfactory.
The prospect is growing brighter
daily, and justifies the feeling of
cheerful optimism. In the meantime
it would be well for every intelligent
farmer to carefully study the -Co
operative Marketing Plan.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. J.
Brown returned to the capital Satur
day from a survey of about sixty
Georgia counties and issues a forecast
of 700,000 bales of cotton for Geor
gia, compared with an average crop
of 2,000,000. This, says Mr. Brown,
is the smallest yield that will ever
have been produced in the state in
comparison to the acreage.

Are Buying Ram.
The County Fair Assocition is do
ing a good thing for the farmers of

Garner they are buying a registered
Shropshire ram for the use of mem
bers of the Sheep Club. The ram
will be the property of the Associa
tion and in due time will he ex
changed for a younger animal in or
der to bring in new blood.
The alarming ravages of the boll
weevil arc going to make it very
necessary for our farmers to pay
more attention to other lines of far
ming than cotton, and aheep-raising
can be carried on profitably here.
This is a fact,
As sure as fate;
We’d rather fish
Than to dig bait.
