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. • ’

GIVING PROMISE
[Trip Into Rural Sections
of Clarke and Adjoining
Counties Will Prove En
couraging to Business
Men.
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

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

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

nue to t|ie fanner and his goo*

that wc can grow cotton nnder ho!!

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

victory Is won.

A Woman’s Back
Til, Advice of Thi, Athens Woman
is of Grat Vnlne.
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."
