; WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH FRIEND FARMER?
" Hero’s a new slant on what’s the matter with the
farmer—that is the one-erop farmer, whether that
crop is cotton, corn, wheat or potatoes, etc. The great
big idea is that one crop farming IJCjfCSN’T PAY.
The rearon that a one crop systeiq of farming doesn’t
pay is that it does not furnish the owner or tenant
during the year enough days for profitable labor to
make it pay.
The records show that In Georgia on one-horse
farms even where there are available 204 days a
year for field work, yet the owner or tenant works
only 94 t^ays a year and the mule works from 60 to
80 days a year. Is it any wonder-that such a system
y does not pay when it fails to furnish steady and prof
itable employment for so few a days a year? Could
a man live at any job and work so fe.w days a year
and loaf so many? *
Bad as is the record of one crop farming here in
Georgia, it is about the same in Minnesota where the
one crop system gives the farmer less than 100 days
a year of profitable work, and the horses less than
50’. This is the clearest possible argument for in-
“ creasing the days of ptofitable farm work if our
.— farmers are to make more wages and more profits
T during the year.
It takes on the average $448 worth of food to feed
the farm family and bout $262 of this food should be
raised on the farm itself. How many of our Georgia
! and South Carolina farms, under the one crop sys-
] ■. tem, arc doing this? If farm crops can be diversified
1 and so arranged that the number of days of produc
tive labor can-be increased so that as far as possible
the farmer and his family cn he profitably .employed
. ■ , say 300 to 340 days a year .instead of from 100 to 150
days a year, we will soon see r. great change come
» over our agriculture as a rule.
The big idea in farming seems to be that a farmer
> , gets paid for working hours, not for idle hours, and
•; there are too many idle hours on the one crop farm.'
; And this thought carries with it thc idea to make the
working hours profitable, good stock, good seed, fer-
!. - tile land, heavy fertilizatiori, and intelligent cultiva
tion should go along with it.

TURNER COUNTY’S WAY
The Banner-Herald him had frequont occasion to
allude to the Turner Comity plan of crop diversifica
tion, and to commend its wisdom and forethought.
Turner county farmers are making a name for them-
ablves as being “in the start early and quit late class,”
and Tumor county is now being advertised far and
near as one of the most forward nnd enterprising
communities in the south.
The Jefferson Davis highway has but recently
been laid -.out and is not yet completed. It runs from
Richmond, Va,, to Vicksburg, Miss., where it termi
nates. It traverses Turner county from end to end.
G grasping the opportunity to do something both use
ful and enterprising for the convenience of the way
faring mah, and something that would have to come
sooner or .later, Turner county is now busily engaged
in making the way for tourists by putting up sign
bohrds at: every cross roads. Turner Is one of the
flm counties to put them up.
Turner : county is bidding for the good wishes and
commendation of the traveling public as well as fos
tering her Interests, which is eminently proper. Peo
ple hearing so much of Turner’s progress and pros
perity will go there-purposely to look ’em over. If a
fellow4tas a good road scheme to put through he. will
tatce.it to Turner, or some other county that is as nenr
like ..Turner as possible. This is the sort of publicity
Turner Ib catering: to, and she is getting it
New Ydrk City passes- an ordinance prohibiting
“human flies” from climbing thc sides of buildings.
The “human flies" \vi|I call this an invasion of per-
sonaL liberty. HoWevpr, the aldermen who framed
this ordjnance don’t care much what happens to the
“flies.” They’re interested in m-otecting the general
.public, .on whoso heads the “flies” are apt to drop.
The ethical ,$&d economic theory of liquor prohibi
tion is the sarde.
Tom Lawson, famous stock market operator pf
“frenzied finance” fame, advertises that he “must
' have money. So he offers to sell his best auto, say
ing, ‘.‘As I.am completely out of cigars for summer
smoking,:! will take 5,000 $1 cigars in lieu of cash.”
There’s a sport '/oh you. In the same situation, most
, of us.xyoul'd be wearing a fact a foot long. Lawson
doesn’t, so he'll probably soon come back nd not
hare th’trade pet cars for cigar money. Troubles
clidg.to-us when we take them too seriously. What’s
the-diffqjrence. In another hundred years?
In Daghestan, Russia, Explorer Golder finds a
tribe so primitive and ignorant that they believe we
Americans live in absolute darkness somewhere
down under their feet This compares favorably
with many Europeans’ conception of us. The people
in Daghestan think we walk upside down. That’s
mathematically correct, in relation to the folks on
the other side of the earth from us. If there were
a Hole through the middle of the earth and you
dropped down it, you’d come out standing on your
When the devil was sick, the devil a saint would

veil lovely, and the cake splendid.”
“Well. Bridget, this sounds de

hope you have a good husband.'
Bridget s tone changed to one of
indignation.

; j A j.-/
Automobile construction has reach
ed such a high point of efficiency that
nearly any car you buy will give you
good service if you take the right care
of it.
Proper lubrication is, of course, the
most essential thing to motor satis
faction—and remember always that
the motor is the heart of the car. If
the pistons and cylinder walls are
lubricated with the right quality and
the right weight of oil, you will have
no bother or expense with either of tiie
two great causes of trouble—friction
\ and lost power.
Polarine is a motor oil made from
the very heart of choicest crude petro
leum, refined, filtered and purified so
as to produce just the right "oihness”
for every motor. Made in four weights.
"Medium”—"Heavy”—"Heavy X” and
"Heavy XX.” By following the chart
of recommendations (which is on dis
play at all Polarine dealers), you can
be absolutely assured of getting the
proper weight for your motor.
