Judge Cos is making a name for
himself as the "tiger tail twister."
It is only costing England fifty-
five dollars—per second—to carry
on the war.
The lighters under the 3ea seem
to be almost as effective as those
on the land, and the air.

The United States government
experts say feed cotton seed meal

more that way than at the prevail

general election.
This gentleman of course was
merely talking. He didn’t even
think that we would consider it long
enough to romember to puc it in the
paper. He displays a remarkable
knowledge of affairs, in the county,
when lie asserts that there would
be seven hundred votes polled,
the general election in 1912. at the
time whea there was a race between
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Adams, for
county commissioner, only five hun
dred and sixty-four votes were
polled. In the entire county. There
is no Incentive for a bigger vote
ths year, unless It be that the Demo
crats desire to mass up a big vote
and completely crush the pitiful up
rising that has emanated from the
meeting of the representatives of
the party at Macon.
There won't be an appreciable
rifflle in the waters In Thomas
county. The progressives will do
well to poll fifty votes in the county
and even that Is problematical, un
less the vote Is much larger than It
was two years ago, and there is no
reason to suppose that It will be, for
Georgia voters settle things In the
primary and very few taks the trou
ble to ratify It at the polls In the
general election.
The unusual amount of impor-
ant amendments to the constltutio
may orlng the voters out and we
hope It will for not only those con
siderations are Important, but the
squelching of such men as Rufe
Hutchens, Jim Sibley and McClure
is due, and It should be administer
ed to the queen’s taste. Lots of us
didn’t vote for the man who won
out In all offices. We are, however,
good enough Democrats and citizens
to ratify the primary In which we
participated and for which we
pledged ourselves by that vote.

Following Report Adopted:
The Hon. Board County Commis

Your committee on Beverly road
petition, beg leave to report that we
find that this road will pass through
a somewhat rolling, country, high
and well drained, requiring no bridg

calfe and Monticello roads at a point
very much required; that it will
make a directly western continua
tion of the lower Boston Toad
where it will cross the Monticello
road, following the land line wes
terly through the lands of J. C. Bev
erly, Holland, Ferguson and Stana-
land and W. J. Hammond, inter
secting the Metcalfe road at the line
dividing the land of W. J. Hammond
and J. H. Wade. The road Will be
of some utility. We therefore rec
ommend Its adoption.

Cotton Prices Will Be Determined
By Number of Green Fields of
Cereals In South This Winter
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
The best evidence that the cotton
acreage will be cut next year will be
the number of fields sown to cereals
this fall. It the number Is large the
price of cotton will strengthen. If
little land la sown to cereals, the In
tentions of the Southern farmer to ent
his cotton acreage will be discredit
ed In the commercial world, cotton
will maintain a low level and can ral
ly only when it Is actually shown that
the Southern planters have reduced
their acreage next spring.
Sowing largely of oats, wheat and
other cereals this fall, means Imme
diate betterment of cotton products.
The evidence will all be In and so
conclusive that the verdict of the
commercial world will be that cotton
Is worth more than Its present quota
tions.
Will there be a good market for ce-
els next year? Most assuredly. Eu
rope shows no signs of converting its
lnatruments of war into plow shares
and pruning hooks this fall In time
to put In cereal crops. There is
bound to be a world shortage and a
ready market at good prices. But not
so with cotton. Spindles have been
Idle, but there has been and can be
no cessation In the consumption of
food.
The evidence ought to be clear
enough to every cotton farmer In the
South with this year’s experience, that
selling cotton for a song and buying
food at war prices is enough to for
ever drive him away from his one-
crop fallacy. It should at once origi
nate the wheat field, the oat field, the
poultry yard, the vegetable crops,
some beef cattle, pork production and
other such farm accessories that will
thrive and produce profit here as In
the most favored section of the world.
There Is no reason under the sun why
the Southern farmer cannot snap his
fingers at foreign wars, and feel their
effects In better prices he will receive
for the food crops he can produce.
Sow cereals, get Into Independent
farming with food supplies growing
under your own hands, grow only as
much cotton aa you can afford to hold
for a good market. This done the
South can defy the world to find a
farming class that Is more prosper
ous.
Growing Wheat In Georgia
Prof. John R. Fain, Department of Ag
ronomy, Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Wheat Is best adapted to the heav
ier or tight soils, such as the clays of
Georgia, while oats do best on loam.
Phosphorous Is the principal ele
ment to emphasize In fertilizing. It
Is not advisable to use much nltro-
at seeding time, but If the soils
do not produce enough straw, apply
nitrate of soda, broadcast in February
or March.
In preparing the seed bed, plow
early. Where cowpeas are turned un
der the land should be rolled. Where
no early preparation has been made
good results will be obtained by disc
ing the ground from which corn has
been cut and shocked. Wheat can
also be sown between rows of cotton
either in the open furrough or with
a oae horse drill. Cotton land to be
seeded with the drill should be cul
tivated before seeding with a planet
Junior cultivator of similar tool.
Bearded varieties should be used
for low grounds and either smooth
or bearded varieties for uplands.
Among the varieties tested at the col
lege Blue Stem, for six years has
averaged 25.66 bushels;,Georgia Red
the same; Fulcaster, 26.57. Other
varieties which have been tested only
one year and have given good results
are the Deltz, Mediterranean, Red
May, Fultz and Australian.
START A PATCH OF ALFALFA.
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Seed alfalfa in the fall In time to
get It established before tho cold
weather. The essentials In getting a
good stand are good drainage, thor
ough preparation of the seed bed, lib
eral use of lime and Inoculation.
Alfalfa seeded under these condi
tions at the College produce;! 6 1-2
tons per sere In five cuttings the
first year. At the time Of this writ
ing 4 1-2 cuttings have been obtained
the second yeat with one more cut
ting about due. The first cutting of
the second season was larger than
the first cutting of the first season,
but adverse wpather held back yields
Of succeeding cuttings. 1
It was found necessary to cultivate
the alfalfa patch after the second
cutting this season to keep down
crab grass. This can be done with
either a disc or spike-toothed harrow
or with a tool made especially for
the purpose.

PROGRESSIVE CLAIMS IN THOM
AS COUNTY.
The recent aggressive assertion of
certain disgruntled Georgia politi
cians that they were disgusted with
the Democratic party and that Geor
gia needed a second white political
organization, Isn't tsken with the
proper degree of seriousness, accord
ing to disciples of that faith.
A Progressive adherent In Thom-
asvllle made the sold assertion that
discontent has spread through Geor
gia like fire ir a broom sago field,
and that ho would not be a bit sur
prised if Thomas county did not
poll 'seven hundred votes against
Mexican troops iast week, and the
killing of several horses, proves most
conclusively that the war has not
stopped. The American people had
begun to believe that peace was a a
established fact, In the ill-governed
republic to the South of us, Or that
at least a basis of peace had been
permanently established, only the
details of which were to be worked
out.
The tact stands out that Carranza
has been haughtily pursuing a policy
which he believed pertinent to the
needs of the people, especially the
poorer people of Mexico. He failed
to take fully Into his confidence and
hi* plans, the rebel military leader
Villa. The result Is a breach, the
