" 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.

MALL ORY, Tax Collector I _ i ■ a Read The Baimer^Herald War it *c ' l-i 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 be. When the^evil was well, the devil a devil was he. So funs a cynical jingle. You think of it when you road that American churches last year gained nearly, a million and a quarter in membership.

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.
