Proceeds from these sales have amounted to thousand sof dollars and brought into the hands of the farmers ready money with which they have been enabled to grow a crip and defray all the expenses. Heretofore, the farmer has been fored to go into debt with the merchant or else bor row from the banker money with whifch to/fnake his crop. Some have not been ab'l; to borrow from the banker for the lack of proper collateral; some have not been able to buy their food supply payable in the fall from tho merchant, and that condition was responsible for thousands of acres of fertile land lying idle during the past two or three years. However, in the sections of the state where there have been held co-operative chicken and hog sales, the farm ers have realized sufficiently from these sources to defray all expenses for the farm from this source. ;; ; Chicken and hog raising is a new industry for the farmer which is growing in importance and, if kept up, the farmer can make enough from his side line on the farm to have his irop products clear money. ' 1 rt ~ It is not an unusual occurrence when riding through the country to see hogs and chickens plenti- -< . • ful in the barnyard and on the plantation, and wherever you find this condition, you find a pros perin’. family. The industry is growing and in creasing and within o few years this section will be the equal, if not the superior to any in the south. There are so many opportunities for the farmer to increase his-income from the farm. There is some thing which cun be gro\.’n and marke.ed every • •* month during the year, which will bring a good price ■ - and find a ready demand. Agriculture is growing into line with commercial pursuits, producing pro- . . , ducts for. all seasons. _ Athens and Clarke county should hoIB a co-opera- tive hog and chicken sale. If the fair, which is being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, woud add this feature to its program this fall, the sale could be made a big success and we believe it woud en courage the farmers to increase the number of cx- Mbits, certainly it would if they were assured of the _ sale following the closing of the exposition. It is worth thinking of, and it is worth the time , and attention of the committee in charge of the fair project to investigate, and if possible arrange to have* . a big chicken and hog sale immediately following the ' closing of the fair. TOBACCO GROWING IN THIS SECTION Sfev'L* It has been demonstrated that tobacco can be grown profitably in this section of tho state. Editor Camp, of the Walton Tribune, tells of a three-acre tract in Walton county producing two thousand pounds of tobacco this year. He says; Messrs. Fred and Comer Cooper, of Logan- ville, sons of the lamented Mark Cooper, have three acres in tobacco from which they expect to realize two thousand pounds. The Tribune is told by a number of farmers that they expect to give a few acres to tobacco next year. The Tribune believes that it will pay them to do so. We see no reason why tobacco can’t be as suc cessfully raised hero as it is in South Georgia, and some of the best in the world has been pro duced there. If tobacco can'be grown in WaUon county, cer- . tainly it'can be grown in C'urke, Madison, Ogle- - thorpe, Oconee, Jackson or any other county in this * section. It can be made a profitable crop and a pay ing industry. A few acres planted in tobacco on - every farm will produce a yield of thousands of pounds which will find ready market at all times and at a good price. When oui farmers learn to diver- * an d produce something every month in the year from the farm, tho business will grow in im portance and become the most lucrative industry we Tobacco raising should be encouraged in this sec- cultural college will take up tobacco raising and C fan and,IfrJ* hoped that the authorities of the agri- • £«*- demonstrate if it can be grown successfully here.

Berton Braley’s Daily Poems A NON-WANDER SONG By Berton Braley I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna I like things ns they arc—just so! I gotta job I kin hold for life, I gotta home and a darned good wife, Maybe I’m rusty, maybe I’m slow, But I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna go. Gotta bit of money, just a small amount, Tucked away in a bank account; Rollin' stones don’t get no moss, Not, at least, that I’VE run across; Guys that’s restless, let ’em pack an’ bl6w, v I do’ wanna wander, I do* wanna they I like things just the way are, # I got two babies an’ a flivver car That’ll take us any place wc please. But I don’t hanker for no seven I wanna watch m/ youngsters grow, I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna I’ll get stuffy, and I’ll get fat? That’s MY worry, lemme tell, you that!
