H. G. Wclis, surrendering to Gloom by degrees, fears that
civilization is tottering.. The only way to cave the world, as he
tecs it, is to wipe out the war debts, thus raving civilization from
bleeding to death under the creditors knife. This smells like a
new versifb of tfte propaganda to induce America to forgive
debts owe.I to us by Europe. If Wells is right, the quickest way
for Europe to save itself would be to cancel its internal indebted
ness—the money owed by the governments to their people. “That's
different.” ✓

YESTERDAY’S
ANSWER
When the man was met by two
fathers and their two sons, he was
not met by four men, as might be
supposed, but by three—a grand
father, his son and his grandson.
As the man had six ten-dollar bills
he gave two to the grandfather, two
to the (ather and two to the grand
son thus dividing the $60 equally
among'them. The'catch lies in thd
fact that one of the three creditors
was both the son of one and the
father of another.
Boland is coming back rapidly, reports Charles Phillips, Red
Cross worker over there. “itT’th.e four years since the restoration
of the republic, Polish farmers have reclaimed and replanted over
5^)00,000 acres ojjrar devasted land. They have done this great
work literally with their hands, farm machinery being so scarce.”
That’s the history of Poland and most of the rest of Euroep, as
far hack’as the records go, war destroying, farmers rebuilding,
one follo wing tho other as summer follows winter, so on, seem
ingly forever. Farmers certainly are patient with the war-breed
ers of cities. ' -r

JASPER COUNTY PROGRAM
Referring to the Banner-Herald editorial of several days ago
on the subject of “A County Program,” in which we referred to
various changes in farming methods that the advent of the boll
weevil has necessitated, the Monticello News states that Jasper
county already has put a part of the new program into practice
and is greatly pleased with the results.
The Banner-Herald contends that farmers should not eschew
the cultivation of the staple, hut that less acreage should be de
voted to cotton and intense methods of cultivation employed; and
to cut down living expenses, there should lie a good garden, sev
eral hogs and cows and lots of poultry on every farm. In the
marketing line, there should he sour cream stations in every
•....small community, grain elevators in the larger towns and ade
quate markets for hogs, beef and food crops.
Relating the excellent start that Jasper county has made with
its program of diversification, the Monticello News sdys:
“A good number of farmers are now shipping sour cream to
the big cities and arc* receiving good-szied checks in return each
month. And there is in Monticello a curing house of the modem
type with a capacity to take care of oodles of potatoes. A few
farmers tried the peanut crop this year and are glad that they
-^4ld so inasmuch as the price of peanuts has soared beyond the
one hundred dollar per ton mark.
“Next year will find the farmers in this county in a better
frame of mind to do the things which ought to be done that will
starve the boll weevil. Even the skeptics and knockers- will fall
into lihe in the production of diversified crops. We would not be
surprised if most of the planters made peanuts the main crop in
Jasper in 1923. Peanuts can be grown here abundantly and easily.
They do not require as much work and attention as some other
crops.”
HOME-COMING DAY SATURDAY
-V ‘ Athens should don gala attire and put her best foot forward
‘■'Hr making the University’s home-coming celebration Saturday an
.'^Stfepicious occasion—a day long to be remembered by the thousv
ands of visitors who will be here for the day’s festivities.
Of course the Georgia-Vanderbilt game will be the out-
‘"srfnnding event of the celebration and the prospect is that every
• available seat at Sanford Field will be occupied. Special trains
will be run into Athens from Atlanta, Augusta and possibly 'other
points, and the highways will bring in autoists from every direc-
^.tion. The Georgia-Vanderbilt game is the gridiron classic of the
*year that Georgia alumni in all parts of the state have been wait
ing for, and the dale of the game being designated Home-comink
Day for University alumni, the hordes of ex-Georgia men will
| turn their heads Ather.s-ward for a reunion with their fellow-
students of other days.
*„• Athens, naturally, is going to be taxed to her capacity to take
care of the mammoth crowds, and while we might not be able to
’Snake our guests as comfortable as we would like to, we can
make the old town look as good as possible, by decorating stores
and places of business, and imparting to the place a holiday at
mosphere and a degree of welcome that will be appreciated by
our guests.
Home-coming Day is going to be the biggest event of-the year
•4n Athens, and we know the “Athens spirit’ will assert itself,
f wfth all the citizens entering wholeheartedly into the jollifica
tion.

INVITATION
BY BERTON BRALEY
Up in the forest now the leaves
are falling,
Matting the earth with red and
brqwn and gold,
The birds, ere long, will hear the
southland calling;
The autumn days are bright, the
nights are cold
And sa I struggle at my daily
labor
Soft in my ears comes whisper
ing a breeze
Which says, “Come out, the for
est calls you, neighbor!
There are no lovelier days and
nights than these.
“The brisk air sets your pulses
beating quicker,
Life is atingle in these gor
geous days,
Each breath you take is like a
draft of ichor;
The woods with many colors are
ablaze;
Clear, cold and limpid, laps the
the water,
Clear, col dand limpid, laps the
pebbly shores,
Nature is fairer than you ever
thought her,
Now is the time to seek the
Out-of-Doors.
“Come, slip away. Tut on your
old attire,
Tempt some good pal to come
along as well,
Think of the nights beside a
crackling fire,
Think of the frosty mornings
and the smell
Of bacon in the pan, the fragrant
savor
Of boiling coffee in the morn
ing glow.
These are the Days! You hestitate,
you waver—
Back to the woods, old -scout,
come on—let’s go!”
Plant Higher
Grade of Seed
(By T. Larry Gantt.)
I have been asked in my column
to urge upon our farmers the im
portance of planting high types of
cotton seed. This movement is now
being furthered by the Atlanta
Commercial Exchange in coopera
tion with the State College of Ag
riculture, the Georgia County
Bankers Association and other
agencies that are friends to our
.farmers. Since the appearance of
the boll weevil the farms in our
North Georgia counties have
adopted -new varieties of seed in
hope of defeating the pest, and
the result is that the grade of
cotton that this section once pro
duced has been greatly reduced,
with a proportionate decrease in
its value to manufacturers.
HAD BEGUN
IMPROVEMENT
Before the pest appeared our
farmers had begun to greatly
prove their staple, and had
brought it to such
stage that cotton grown in the
counties tributary to Athens was
worth to the mills from two to
two and a half cents per pound
more than that grown in other
sections of the south. Our cotton
attained a high standing and was
eagerly, sought by both domestic
and foreign faills. Some varieties
of cotton the staple was one and
one-sixteenth of an inch, but the
seed we are now planting have so
degenerated that the staple is only
from one-half to seven-eighths of
an inch in length.
I stated in one of my sketches,
the best bale of cotton ever receiv
ed In Liverpool was traced to a
farm near the Camp Ground in
Hart county, and the English
spinner was so much interested in
this bale that they sent an agent
to . the south to trace the place of
its growth.
Until the weevil appeared,-every
year our North Georgia farmers
were improving their type of seed,
but with the appearance of the
pest among them the practice was
discontinued, until we now grow
a far inferior grade and it is on
the decline.
It is vitally important that our
North Georgia farmers get back
to growing a higher class cotton.
It is an established fact that there
are just as early varieties and
even more prolific that produces a
lint of an inch and one-sixteenth
or even longer, as the short sta
ple many farmers are now plant
ing.
To instruct our farmers about
the varieties of cotton seed they
should plant, and the procuring
of these seed "for them, is the
commendable work undertaken by
the above agencies. The county
agents will be in a position by
planing time to advise the farm
ers about the different varieties
of cotton and help them procure
seed. But to make a success of
this movement the farmers must
co-operate, and to educate them.
will be one of the missions of the
great farmers college to be held
in Athens the latter part of Jan
uary. Before you buy seed for
next year, inform yourself about
the different varieties of cotton
and then get the best. A list of
the best seed will be published in
the Banner and Herald and other
papers read by farmers, and they
will be given all necessary infor
mation.
ORGANIZE
CAMPAIGN
It is not any more necessary to
get ahead of the pest than to
grow a grade of cotton that will
command the highest price on the
market. An organized ' campaign
is now on to successfully fight the
boll weevil next year, and we
do that by the intelligent use
of calcium arsenate. The great
est agricultural scientists in the
country are at work on the boll
weevil problem, and the state
agent of Florida says he has
found how to eradicate the pest at
a cost of only $2 per acre. But
by reducing your acreage in cot
ton from five to seven acres to
the plow, and then using calcium
arsenate according to directions
we can grow cotton under the
most adverse boll weevil condi
tions. Let your motto be that
used by the Hodgson Fertilizer
Company since the establishment
of their plant: “Bigger Crops on
Fewer Acres.” 'Put on one acre in
cotton the same fertilizers and la
bor that you once distributed over
two or more acres, and then keep
the pest down with poison, intel
ligently applied, and you will next
year make a good crop of cotton
in spite of the boll weevil. But to
reap the best returns for your
labor you must plant the longest
staple and best grades of cotton
procurable. And this must be
general, for to get back the lost
prestige of our section every far
mer must unite in improving the
grade of his cotton and if you
cannot secure calcium arsenate,
then don’t plant a seed of cotton
to raise a crop of weevils for your
neighbor.
WILL AID
FARMERS
To aid and instruct our farmers
the organized bodies of business
men in our cities, the bankers,
merchants and agricultural insti
tutions and their experts are now
organized. This is the most im
portant work ever undertaken and
a farmer stands in his own light
if he does.not listen,to and follow
the guidance of these friends.
So before arranging for your
planting seed, wait until you
hear from the men and organiza
tions who have this matter in
hand. You will be provided with
the best seed to plant- asr much
cotton as you can properly culti
vate' under boll weevil conditions,
and when you bring your bale to
market you will find that the
advanced price you receive for it
will many tiiries pay fpr the seed.
The business world knows *he
condition of our farmers and is
now organizing to give them aid
and wise advice about their cot
ton crop.
