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.” GyBsy moths, threatening destruction of New Eng land wees, arc doomed by the billions. Major H. C. Strauft, army aviator, operates a dirigible balloon that Sprays poison fatal to the moths while non-in- junow to people. On j of the extremely few good results of the war. It is prophetic of how man will battle pests, especial ly mtfpcts, in the future- In Texas they’re trying tho samething against, rattlesnakes.

Cities in the countr y surrounded w fertile farms as Athens and the agricultural interests are being fostered and conditions improved morefthan ever before- It is agriculture first—then the commercial industries, if we are to grow and prosper. It is the farmer who bears the burden and who fc the backbone of the nation and unless he pro fits then poverty is bound to come to all. ( estate is on the upward climb and regardless’ * quiet season of the year many sales are being and much activity has been shown in the real estat^fWdewmnHyiMx < I 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. theTubIeb COUNTY PLAN TContmucd from page on,) v -liarKP o( a former South Carolin ian, Ivy W.

Ralls, Jr. 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.*! \ WILD CATTLE AND RAZ0RBACK8 Not all tho llvo stock In Tarner hr blooded stock so soon.’ 'Far from III Cattle of that rangy, half wild, hardy type, long eatabllshod In south Georgia, even localised by name aa Wire Grass cattlo, are •till more or leas abundant. These formerly were bred by thousands In plney woods and planters along tho South Carolina coast used to buy droves ot them for fattening on the rice plantations. Now and than, too, the traveler ft Turner, skirting some bosky hay or alough, starts up a verita ble old rator'uack, long snouted, deeply suspicious ’and certainly unfriendly If not alertly hostte.

Because when you were born, It was the honuj paper that Introduced you to tho world. gecond. When you grew up and graduated tho home paper gave youNtnolher write-up. Third. When later on you found your life companion and wero hap pily married, tho home paper gavo yon and yours a nice notice. Fourth. When sickness and mis. fortuno invaded yotrr home, tho sad nows was carried to your ftffnds and neighbors by the home, paper. Fifth. When you had been suc cessful In business venture, or had been promoted. It was tho home paper that heralded your ability. SItth. If you sold out or moved to another location, the home piper followed with news of friends and neighbors. Seven. When somo unscrupulous person tried to Injuro your char acter it was the home paper that came to your aid. Eighth. Because the home papei boosts your town and Its institu tions, it 8 people, its schools, Its churches and helps to promote good fellowship in the community. Ninth. Because the live merch ants offer money-making bargains and protect you from catch-penny mail order houses. Tenth. .And last, when you are finally laid away, it Is the home paper that prints consoling news of your demise nnd that extols your virtues st> that hearts of those who mourn are made to feel thankful that tho home paper stuck by you 'WoWI cradle to graye.
