> TURNING DISASTER INTO PROSPERITY
Have you been reading the story of Turner County
appearing in the Banner-Herald and taken from the
Columbia, S. C., State? If not, you have been miss
ing some good reading. Turner County has been
oven some nation-wide publicity, not only on account
of her 1, enterprise, public spirit and co-operation, but
also bfrciiron of what it has already accomplished
by the intelligent use of these qualities.
“There ip- more in the man than in the land, is a
well-known and time-honored proverb, which is
proven £o be true in the case of Turner County- When
the boll weevil scourge first appeared, the citizens of
Turner did not helplessly repine on that account.
They knew that they had'land that would bring other
things!‘besides cotton, and they set themselves,to rais
ing thinn. They were new in the game, but they had
a boldiand intrepid leader in George Betts, who had
the rare capacity ito dfvoty.himself- wholly and un-
selfishly to their cause. Lhrgdly tKroilgh his leader^
ship, Turner County has become a guide and a model
for other Southern counties.
In the current number of The Country Gentleman,
there ijs a very interesting article on how Turner
County turned one crop disaster into sound pros-
S trity. The Country Gentleman is a high-class pub-
catidtt and a standard farm journal and the fact
that itlhas been brought to recognize the superior
merit 'df the Turner County plan conveys some idea of
the wide publicity this Georgia country county is re
ceiving! “The cow, the sow and the hen,” the slo
gan Turner adopted when the boll weevil invaded
its cotton fields, will become known from ocean to
occan^from this one article.
In order to show the spirit that animated the en
tire cbunty,, Tbe*Countiw .Gentleman quotes Oje fol
lowing joint adVcrTisemdttr published n thb Wiregrass
Farmor- of Ashburn, in which six banks joined, the
first of a series of epoehal bank advertisements:
Recognizing,that farming, ie ; by far the greatest
and most important'industry in Turner County,
and:,that its successful pursuit Is vitally important
to the success of not,only erory-business institu
tion:.in the county but of our schools and church-
i es; and believing ar- we do that good dairy cows,
( bogs'and poultry are indispensable to profitable
farming-Hnder-boll-weevil conditions, we-will as ....
faritS in our power lend to worthy farmers finan- »• •
ciafcassistance in providing such livestock. It
, wilt be our policy to lend such aid only to farm
ers growing on their farms sufficient feeds to
; properly care for all livestock- on their farms.
? Th«J writer in thu Country Gentleman concludes
his article as follows:
T&irner County is not resting on the record
made. Its 1923 program calls for a monthly in
crease in butter production to 100,000 pounds, in
■ | hoc$ to fifteen car-lot shipments and in eggs to
two carloads, with increases all along the lino in
food and feed crops. It is working too, toward
pvrftianent pastures.
Tlhe Turner County Plan Is becoming n byword
W forjprogrcsr in Georgia, and is furnishing both
th e-foundation and the inspiration for the stater
" k(V movement being carried on by the Georgia
Association for the Upbuilding of Georgia,
i . tepid other counties do what.Turncr has done ?
Kb, ‘yes,” answers Editor Joe Lawrence; “any
S' county can find within Itself undreamed-of op-
poifunitics and powers if its people will only
take the trouble to look for them and put them to '
i work. We never imagined what we could do till
wearied.”

THE IDEALIST
In factory and grimy shop,
Where, shafting whiffs and ham
pers droia,
He hears—not strident disso
nance—
But rhythm of the true romance.
Tho thundt^r of th* rolling mill,
The shriek of shears and plans and
drill
Make mighty music to his ears,
For In their mlnglod sound he hears
, A march tong of humanity
That* throbs . with strange deep
harmony.
That lifts the soul and makes the
blood
A tingling and torrential flood.
He kflows that in this noise and
s V murk
Of duff machinery at work,
There Is a puri>oso and a plan
Which Hhall make firtv the world
• • for man.
Out of the clamor and tho prime
He knows there shall arise In time
Ships |o go forth on high emprise
And towers soaring to the skies.
The Realist can only sense
The tumult and the toll Inimense,
But tho Idealist has seen
The dream that springs from the
machine.

COTTONi THE
TEMPTATION
Has Turner turned altogether
rom cotton? Certainly not; the
county program carries five acres
o tho one horse farm unit, and
->st year the county ginned 8,000
'■ales, about half of a pre-weevil
-rop. Ret cotton Is the chief dan-
or end greatest temptation,.even
•et; and if cotton sjinll bring a
;ood pries this fall, some, certain-
'v. wilt fgr exceed, the program
'luotu In , their cotton planting.
Ttlrner county people are about as
human an others. If not .more sol
V powerful deleting Influence will
■>e the tlrnt ahd united stand of the
'wnka against overrunning tbe
'greed ort proportion In cotton.
Turner cquhty Is nearer now than
•nost other former all-cotton coun-
‘lea to raallslng the dream of
Henry w. Qrady: “When every
ra-rmer In tbe South shpll eat bread
from Ms own fields and meat from
’tin own pastures, and disturbed
Jy no,, creditor, and enslaved by
no debt, shall alt amid his teeming
gardens, and orchards, and vine-
yards, and dairies, and barnyards.
"Itching bis crops In his own wis
dom and growing them In Inde
pendence, making cotton hla clean
surplus, and selling It In hla own
lime and In hla chosen market, and
tot at a master's bidding—getting
his pay In caab, and not In a re
ceipted mortgage, that discharges
hla debt, but does not restore his
freedom—then shall bo the break-
Ing of the fullness of our day.”
Perhaps It isn't yet qulto "day-
clean,” In Turner, to use the ox*
rrcsslvo phrase of tho Pluck Dor-
dcr; hut surely the dawn Is break
ing and already Is It considerably
more than merely “a white marge
clear.*! \

Fifth. When you had been suc

What Your First Want
Ad Teaches You
All your life you have heard of people
using want ads successfully, yet it may be
that you, yourself, may never have tasted
their usefulness.
The purpose of thesc liUle talks about
advertising is to induce you to order your
first want ad. After you have once made
the test yourself and know from personal
experience of the rapidity of action and
definite results \v*iich may be secured, you
use want ads, thereafter, as a matter of
course.
Your first want ad teaches you that it
pays to advertise—that tenants may be se
cured, that customers may be obtained,
that quick sales may be brought about
througlv,classified advertising. Study the
wa|it afls puijlisiwn pn this page and note
the very many' different ways in which
people make use of them.
You may telephone your want ad. A
courteous trained ad-taker will answer
your call and be glad to carry out your in
structions faithfully.
