- , CASH PRODUCING CROPS
The Southern farmer is in need of a steady stream
of cash coming in all the time with which to pay his
hands off and buy his supplies to run his farm. Few
of them have the money in the bank to do this'with,
and still less of them would do it if they had, and take
the chances on all going in and none coming out on
the old plan of the all-cotton-money-crop system.
' Hard times and the exigencies of the situation
have at last been sufficient to convince them of the
wisdom of Jim Smith’s policy, and Jim Smith of Og
lethorpe’County, who made more money farming
than any other man in Georgia, made it a rule always
to have something which he could readily convert
into cash, so as to keep a plenty of cash on hpnd at
all times and readily available for all purposes.
Consequently, his cotton was a surplus crop, and
the expenses of running his plantation being paid as
he wont, tin re was no chance to squeeze him and get
his cotton for an inadequate price. In fact, it was
well known that Jim Smith’s cotton stayed in the
warehouse at Smithonia and waited for the top
notch price to command get it. And it stayed there
sometimestill two or three crops accumulated before
Jim Smith would let it go.
When the cotton buyers would get to actually
howling for cotton, they would go up to Jim Smith’s
and talk all kinds of miscellaneous and assorted
pretty talk and then perhaps Jim Smith, as a great
favor, and more to get rid of them than anything
else, woufd let them have his cotton at the top of the
market. Now wasn’t this a much smoother way of
arranging matters than being forced to sell when he
didn’t want to sell? Everything was satisfactory all
round nnd everything lovely and the goose hung
high. They got the cotton and Jim got the cash.
Cash and diversified cropping are going to provo
the salvation of the South. The tendency now is to
specialize on particular tilings. The watermelon
growers havo formed a watermelon growers associa
tion to grow melons and market them. The Valdosta
folks have already shipped a car of watermelons.
Watermelons will be bringing in cash in great wa^ds
while cotton is blooming. ‘Creameries are being es
tablished in various parts of the state and cows are
now rated at what they yield a month. .Hay sales
arc getting frequent and popular and hogs on the
hoof are being sold, one or a thousand for cash.
Pouches arc moving and the stream of cash is setting
in towards the South. Even cotton, mixed as it is
with boll weevils, can be produced in quality and
quantity in no other country bn earth. This being the
case, is not the South the place to live?

A DESERVING TRIBUTE
Chancellor David C. Barrow, known to thousands
of old “Georgia” boys all over the. country a 3 “Undo
Dave,” the lovable head of the University ol Georgia
system of higher education, was Tuesday accorded a
deserving tribute by the personnel of the State Col
lege of Agriculture. He was presented with u hand
some loving cup, given in love und appreciatioTirto
a “teacher, a scholar, a leader,” bearing the names
on a scroll of the donors.
During the past sixteen years the Agricultural
College has grown' from a mere department, and a
very inactive one at that, to the greatest institution of
its kind in the South. This marvclc is growth has
been under tho presidency of Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
ono of the really great agriculturalists and farm
scientists of the country. His aggressiveness, his
determination, even under adverse circumstances and
in the face of obstacles that would have discouraged
the average man,‘have carried this institution, along
with the co-operation and encouragement from Chan
cellor Barrow, to the high position it now occupies in
the list of Agricultural colleges of the nation.
The growth of the Agricultural College will for
ever stand out as the crowning event of the chancel
lorship of Mr. Barrow. Great strides have been
made by the University during the time since he suc
ceeded the lovable Dr. Hill, a man of vision and
whose plants are now being carried in the extension of
tho University campus, but it is hardly probable that
any of there achivoments will overshadow the great
growth of the Agricultural College, the institution
that honored the Chancellor Tuesday in a manner
that bespeaks respect, devotion, love, loyalty and
co-operation.
Summer. Baseball in Athens will succeed in only
such a measure as the people of the city support it
Talk of summer baseball here comes as regular as
does spring. This summer it is a reality so it is
squarely up to the public to support it Are - you
planning to do your share?
The highway department could do more by- iron
ing out some of those bumps that remain for weeks in
roads it has taken over than by writing a whole lot of
articles in answer to charges made against it What
the public wants is visible results and roads once put
in shape and never scraped don’t illustrate these re
sults.
On May S there were 25,248 veterans of the World
War receiving treatment in hospitals under the aus
pices of the Veterans’ Bureau.
It has been estimated that there are 265,813 dis
abled evterans of the war having approved claims
with the Bureau. There are 182,238 receiving com
pensation, while 83,238 veterans arc receiving voca
tional training under Section 2 of the Rehabilitation
Act, which provides training with maintenance pay.
Tim 265,81’i ilisabled veterans include only* men'with .
a disability of 10 pgr cent or mor* ,, -x . iiAo-
At the present time there are 13,349 veterans with
a rating of permanent total disability, and four rated
as double permanent total disability.
up Is the question of taxation,
which must be solved In order to
•ftse the revenue of the state
to meet the actual needs of tho ed
ucational Institutions for higher
learning. So far no definite plan
has been agreed upon, but It Is
believed that Governor Walker will
solve tho problem which is one of
the most vexing of all matters per
taining to the affairs of the state.
It has been suggested that an ad
ditional tax of one cent the gal
lon be placed on gasoline, nnd th«t
a tax of ono cent the gallon be
placed on oils. This appears to us
ns being tho most feasahln propo
sition for ready money which must
tress whi°h It Is now facing.
Another important matter
which is likely to be brought
up at this session Is the bill
providing for biennial sessions
of the legislature. Last year Sen
ator Monday had Introduced such
a measure which passed the house,
hut was not passed on by the sen
ate. It is believed that this hill
will be passed this year. Tho meas
ure provides for a referendum
which, of course, can not bo voted
on until next year, but In tho event
of Its ratification, tho law would
become effective In 1925. Georgia
and South Carolina arc tho only
two states in the south which have
come this- nnd next year if our, i . . # il , . . .

noware of Indigestion—the din-
cubo that kills more people und kills
them quicker than any other. This
warning, by physicians, is particu
larly applicable this season of the
year, when your system “let*
down" In tone and vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that na
ture gives you of the approach of
Indigestion? The medical books
tell ds: 1. Ons, which means that
your food Is fermenting instead of
digesting, 2. A feeling of fullness
or oppression In the region of the
stomach after eating. This means
that the gas has ballooned your
stomach and Is preening up
against your heart and lungs. 3.
A dull, laay feeling, which means
that you are not getting nourish
ment from what you. are eAtlng.
4. Itentlessness, un-refreehlng
sleep/ which means that the poisons
of Indigcstin are disturbing your
brain nnd nerves. 6 Sometimes;
■Pain and fluttering around the
heart, though this symptom may
coin© later.
Don’t take chances with Indigos-
tlon—you are toq apt to lose. If
you have had any of the symptoms
mentioned above, get your digestive
organs to work at onco with Dan-
Max, the greatest prescription that
was carer written for a dlgcstlvo
tunic. Dan-Nax makes your di
gestion "perfect and complcto.”
You feel Its helpful effect from ths
very first dose. Got & bottle of'
Dan-Nax today at any. drug store.
Dan-Nax Is so much superior to
any other remedy for Indigestion
that the manufacturers have In
structed every druggist to refund
tho prlco If you do not get relief,
hires. Other states have found
biennial sessions to be more sat
isfactory than annual meetings and
it is be
Georgia would ratify such
amendment if tl.^y wore given an
opportunity to vote. Certainly It
would prove a great saving to tbo
state and would in no wlso inter
fere with the legitimate machinery
of the state and Its operations.

To the untrained eye, crude petroleums
all look pretty much alike, but to the re
finery expert their grades and qualities
vary widely.
The process of converting this crude oil
into various products is a most interesting
one. Refining, distillation and filtration
bring about the separation of various
"fractions”—from gasoline to roofing and
paving materials.
The production of a motor oil is one of
the most important steps in this process;
the effort being made to take out the im
purities and at the same time leave in the
"oiliness” or "viscosity”.
is made from the heart of choicest,, selected
“crudes”, in one of the world’s greatest refin
eries, and by painstaking care in every step
of its manufacture, it comes to you as the
perfect motor oil. Ask your dealer for a copy
