KRMANENI PROSPERITY FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS l j “Why wouldn't it be a (food Idea to start right now ®ntablishtii4i permanent farm prosperity on every Southern farm, to take the plaoe of the regular •eo-saw Into debt and out of debt that has been going on for fifty years or more," said H. G. Hastings of Atlanta, prominent agricultural loader, recently, "Enough money has come Into the South during the last twenty-five years for cotton to have made this the weal thiest agricultural section Instead of the poorest. Where has all these billions upon billions of dollars gone? “Theae cotton dollars have largely gone to the North and West for bread and meat, gone never to return. Our foolishness, our slaviahnesa to the one crop system is the reason. Our foolish ness has put our farm land values on a SIO.OO to $50.00 per acre basis and largely helped to put Illinois and lowa lands on a $300.00 to $400.00 por acre basis. "It is world wide experience with no exception that there can be no reg ular permanent prosperity to the reg ular food buying, grain buying cropper or farmer. Every dollar’s worth of food and grain produced on home acree 1b a dollar saved. It means that much freedom from debt, high interest and dealers’ profits, "Food, grain and forage production on home acres sufficient for the family, the working liye stock, the cows and meat animals, poultry, etc., is the first step toward permanent farm prosperity and there can be no permanent farm prosperity on anybody’s farm until these necessary iteml, fully sufficient for home needs, are produced on home acres, not only in 1923 but every year. "It’s a good time now to start the prosperity program off right. The first thing in line la a real home garden, properly prepared, planted and kept re planted through the year Lots of farm follcs tell us that one-third to one-half their living conies out of their garden. Corn and other grain and forage crops take care of the live stook. Hogs and poultry cannot fatten or produce egg* on air and water. So it Is all along the line. Make food instead of buy food for home use. It beats 'get rich quick’ schemes and steadily followed insures permanent farm prosperity.’’ Classified Ads.

LINT FOR NORTH GEORGIA EXPERT ADVOCATES COMMUNITY ACTION Stamp Out the Mongrel Cotton and Re place It with Varieties That Will Produce Standard Inch to Inch And One-Sixteenth Atlanta, Ga. —“Organize your com munity to grow better cotton,’’ says Dr. Jno. R. Fain, Agronomist of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. “Only by organizing communities to grow single varieties of cotton can the mongrel, poor yielding, short lint breeds that have been harming the reputation of North Georgia cotton, be driven out and kept out.” Continuing Dr. Fain said: “North Georgia cotton was long known to the trade as an inch staple. In fact lint of that length may be said to be the North Georgia standard. It was on cotton of this standard length that North Georgia won its premium In the market. “In recent years new varieties of short lint have been brought intc North Georgia. These varieties have mixed with aud mongrelized a great deal of the cotton in this region with the result that North Georgia stand ards have been lowered and the mar ket is beginning to pay accordingly. ‘‘What are North Georgia farmers going to do about it? “The way to reclaim lost ground is to discard the inferior cottons and get back the old-time standards. This can be done most quickly and effectively by community action. "Let a community of farmers agree to grow only one variety. This va riety can then be kept comparatively pure. The seed can be sold for plant ing purposes at two or three times what the oil mills will pay. "By growing one variety of an inch staple, the community quickly estab lishes a reputation among buyers, and the best price the market affords can be obtained. The -reputation that a community gains for length of lint has more to do with the average prices re ceived for cotton in the community than is generally appreciated. “The best indication of what any community can do is afforded by what some community has already done. Community That Has Acted. “Three years ago as the result of interest in pure seed created by a local Smith-Hughes Vocational School at Winterville, Ga., the farmers of that community started to growing CoL lege No. 1 cotton seed. They planted 60 acres the first year. The second year 700 acres were planted and this year about 1500 acres. Other varieties are being rapidly eliminated. “Before this community movement started the local gin handled about 20 per cent of the cotton ginned in the county. The third season after start ing the good seed movement the local gin handled 60 per cent of the cotton ginned in the county. “Furthermore, the co-operating farmers have kept their cotton re latively pure and are selling all the seed they can spare at three times what the oil mills will pay. “As an indication of the interest be ing created in that region, the Win terville farmers called upon the Col lege of Agriculture to give them a short course in seed selection. “Winterville lint and Winterville seed command a premium on the mar ket. Why not follow Winterviile’s ex ample?” Dr. Fain conferred with represeuta tives of the Atlanta Commercial Ex change and offered to further in every way he could, the laudable endeavor of the Exchange to get North Georgia farmers to grow standard North Geor gia staple. He stated that the Col lege of Agriculture was issuing a pub lication to promote longer lint, ot standard North Georgia lint produc tion Under the tests of the college he says that it has been shown that desirable varieties of the Clevelanc strain and College Number One will meet the requirements as to standard North Georgia lint, earliness of ma turity, maximum yield and lnrgesl money return per acre to the farmer This is shown not only by the re sults obtained at the Agricultural Col lege but it is backed up by tests made THE WINDER NEWS at ttie Experiment stations ox aia bama, Georgia, South Carolina anc North Carolina. The Exchange is also advocating Acala cotton, anew cotton introduced from the West which the Bureau ol Plant Industry of United States De partment of Agriculture describes as follows: “Acala cotton is an extra early, pro lific, big-boll variety, introduced by this department from southern Mexico and developed in Texas and other wes tern states. Hundreds of thousands of acres are now being planted to this variety in Texas, Oklahoma, and Ar kansas. Recently it has shown much promise under a variety of soil and climatic conditions in Alabama. Geor gia and North Carolina. The fiber is one and one-eighth inches in length of fine character, and very strong. Its superior qualities have been recogniz ed by spinners and it is now in great demand by cotton buyers.” GOOD CIGARETTES GENUINE Bull" DURHAM ,1W -f-iJIK.. TOBACCO America’s Food and Medicine May Go for X Naught if Russians Cannot Secure Clothing i, . - , "If Russia’s children, and adults as well, are to be saved from death this winter from exposure—after the churity of America has brought them through the famine of last winter, they must be supplied with clothing.” This is a concensus of opinion of the American Relief Ad ministration staff in Russia, from Colonel Haskell down to the in spectors, according to their reports to Herbert Hoover, head of the A. R. A. From every part of Russia w-here the A. R. A. has been feeding children and adults, and has been Instituting sanitation and medical service and inoculations to save literally millions of lives, the story is the same—that the children lack even the barest essentials of under wear, shoes, stockings or outer wear, with which to protect them selves against *he rigors of the Auction Sale of SHOATS I have 58 head of shoats and hogs, weigh ing from 80 to 160 pounds each, Tennessee bred, thoroughly inoculated and as fine a bunch of hogs as you ever saw here.

WHEELER GROCERIES & MEATS Phone 219 Winder, Ga. Russian winter. And the need of aid in this direction for adults, too, is indicated by statements of re cently-returned workers, who state that in cases where Russian em ployes have been given a blanket for extra services the blankets have almost invariably been made into overcoats. Literally millions of children, say reports, have no shoes —an item which in itself may make it impossible for them to go to Am erican Relief child-feeding kitch ens. Free shoes and stockings have been provided for 250,000 children who are absolutely without foot wear, but the whole problem is beyond the reach of any general funds now available. The American Relief Administra tion. to meet this emergency, has put into effect a Clothing Remit tance, functioning in every way as does the now' world famous Hoover Subscription Price: $1.50 Per Ye®r. Food Remittance. For twenty dol lars, sent tp the A. R. A. at 42 Broadway, New York, the following articles, or their equivalent in val ue, will be delivered to any desig nated person in Russia: 4 2-3 yardf fifty-six inch twenty ounce dark blue wool cloth; 4 yards of thirty two inch black cotton lining; 8 yards of twenty-seven inch flannel; 16 yards of unbleached muslin; 8 large black Ivory buttons; 16 small black ivory buttons; 16 small white bone buttons: 2 spools No. 30 black cotton thread; 2 spools No. 40 white cotton thread. One package will clothe one or two children all winter, and re mittances ordered for general relief will be used for neediest thousands of which are heart-break ing.
