Giles, oi near Auburn, is one of Barrow Coun ty’s best farmers and lias always made money because be adopted the plan when first starting out in life to make more than enough of everything that it took to have a farm that was self-sustaining. Me rotates his crops and never fails to make enough wheat, oats, and corn to have some to spare and more hogs than was required for home consumption. He has brought his land up to a high state of cultivation by this method and this year has a field in cotton of 35 acres from which he will get 35 bales. This is fine farming for a year like this and shows what Barrow County’s land will do if judicious ly managed. Had it not been for the recent heavy rains and wind the probability is he would have gotten 40 bales from this 35 acres. SHOULD FEEL THANKFUL. There never was a time when the farmers of this section of ■deorgia should feel more thank ful than now. Everything that can he grown on a farm is bringing a good price and the man who would complain because he cannot make a living should feel like going out and kicking himself.

Patrick, one of our prosperous farmers sold last week eight bales of 1 1 is last year’s crop receiving for it SI6OO. A few ypars back he would have done well to have gotten S4OO for them AYe should all feel thankful that the farmers are coining into their own, those who farm right arc having large bank accounts.
