BBORCH The Fleecy Staple Must Still Be Georgia’s “Money Crop.” The farmers of this State must continue to raise cotton—but on smaller acreage and with more intensive methods. This can be successfully done—as proved in the marketing of the 1923 crop. The outcome of the yield remains to be seen, but the prospects now are encouraging, due to the splendid preparation and fight the farmers'*are making. We congratulate the farmers, business men and hankers of Ath ens and this section for thi manner in which they are making the fight. • ’ 1 The farmer is the man behind ail our Progress PLANTERS WAREHOUSE COMPANY {nvrtDtoOK, Manager.

Wo wish every cltlxen of'Athens, and especially our merchants and business men, would take a ride out In to the country, In any dl rcctlon. and "view the landscape er.’Mt matters not the road yon travel or county you visit, for the j same happy conditions prevail in 1 all the. region round about. You will return, home houyantly, hopeful on* enthused. Last spring the crop oi’Hook was darkly, deeply, beautifully blue. The almost unceasing rains delayed farmers with their work and it seemed Impossible to make anyth)ug like an nverago rnp, Everyone yon met, and especially the farmer, was In the low-grounds of sorrow. Then sot In that ex >du of negroes that only aggravatoJ tho situation. But our brave-hearted farmer* I went to work and under the most disheartening and discouraging surroundings have won tho great est victory In tho agricultural I nnls of Geprgla or any other land They will this year produce not only the greatest fo$d crop ever known In the south, but they are vanquishing tho boll weevil pest and will make a surprisingly large cotton crop. Take Oglethorpe aa sample; one of our wor«t-h!t counties hy the weevil. On one third less land, with more than half of its labor moved away. Ogle thorpe will more than double the cotton yield of last year and the same applies to all other counties in this section and tributary to Athons. Even onr younger generation can remember when farmers had U Import everything to feed man and beast and pay for these supplies hy groping cotton often below the cost of production, while a side of home-raised bacon was a curiosity. Visit the Athens curb market and note the car-loada of country pro rate of all kinds now being brought in. This U only n pointer to the new dawn of Independence and prosperity that will next fall break upon tho land. Our fanners, with their lines, have written upon the toil a declaration. of inpedendence against the grfiln. the hay, the stock and meat ralsera of tho west. They, have not been forced to give mortgages and Incnr debts M make this crop, and wJ*B bar nested.It will belong to the men who dug ft from the soli with their horny hands and watered it with the sweat of their brows. This means that next fall our farmers need not dump their pro duction In some warehouse to pay for supplies furnished to make their crop, but the money received for It will belopg to them. Of course opr Athens merchants will be greatly benefitted by this cash trade. And this happy condition does not end with field crupa, for it traveling over the country you note that farmers are raising Improved breeds of cattle, hogs and all man ner of stock, and there are fe« hut whom will next winter slaugh ter enough pork to supply t heir families and some will have bacon to sell. And the chicken business Is assuming considerable propor tions and Is a new source of reve nue to t|ie fanner and his goo* wife. * ow an established fact that wc can grow cotton nnder ho!! weevil conditions by fbe use of cal-1 llfmiimnstr and the south cat by. growing htg own supplies in stead fof making of King Cotton tryannical master the southern farmer will use hiui as a valuable and profitable slave. But wo must not forget that to successfully grow cotton the farm er must use poison and continut | Its application until the bolls begin to burst, or all will be lost. And right now is the critical time with the cotton grower for weevils are hatching by millions and unless the poisoning process Is continued your crop will surely be destroyed. Mr. Farmer, you cannot afford to let Ul> In the fight against this little Insect pest. Keep up the bat tle for three more weeks and the victory Is won. Prof. W. A. Worsham Completes Course For Ph. D.

Many a woman’s back has many aches and paina. ofttimes ’tis the kidneya' fault. That's why Doans’ Kidney Pills are so effective. Many Athens women know this. Read what one has to aay about It: Mn. Margaret Maguire. 104 State St., Athens, says: “I suf fered a crest deal with sharp pains stabbing through my back while about my housework. When ever I stooped over to dust, a sharp twinge of pain caught me through the amell of my back and I could hardly straighten up. At times I was 10 tired I didn't feel like doing a thing. When I got up quickly, dixslneas came over me and black specks jumped be- eyea. My kidneya did not act right at all. Through the ad vice of my friends I got a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Palmer's Drug Store and they aeon brought relief. By the time I had used a second box 1 was cured of all the trouble." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Mil- bum Co, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. TV- trouble. Read Banner-Herald Want Ads.
