Why not the second primary plan for Georgia? Join the Optimist Brigade and cut out the war gab. Macon almost had the capitol for a day or two this week. Don’t you think Jackson ought to have a board of health and pay more attention to sanitary con ditions? The war will not hurt the far mer with a hog and hominy slo gan. If you are not that kind get right at once. Macon had a hostile invasion of her own this week —harmless though as it was only the politi cal hosts of the state. Sit steady in the boat and de termine to reduce your cotton acreage by half next year. That is the solution to the problem. Jackson merchants should be gin to plan for a brisk fall trade. Their trade zone can be consider ably enlarged by the right kind of advertising. Now is a good time to begin raising some live stock. Butts county ought to get rid of the cattle tick and take up the live stock industry on a comprehen sive scale. Announcement that Jackson is to have improved express service in the near future will be receiv ed with interest. It will prove a great convenience to the people of the city. Frown down the idle talker who would attempt to array the classes against each other. There is a duty for every one to perform and the big thing right now is CO-OPERATION. The effective work done bv the Civic League in cleaning up the city in the spring should be re peated now. Let’s have another 4 ‘Clean up day. ’ ’ The wholesome effect would be felt throughout the winter. Farmers are reminded that potash, which comes largely from Germany, is going to be scarce and high as a fertilizer next year. Clover will to a large extent, it it claimed, lake the place of pot ash. It is important then that you get ready to meet this situa tion. Take this matter up with the Demonstration Agent at once. Whether they want to or not the farmers of the South must break away from the one-crop plan. This fall is the time to start. The war is going to make living at home absolutely neces sary in the future. Tnere is just as much money in this country today as there was a year ago. If there is anything lacking it is confidence. Pull yourself together and stand by your guns and everything will be all right in the end. It would be a good thing if the people would forget about the for eign war as far as possible. Why not try the plan of quit talking about the war? There is no use in magnifying your troubles. But few of them materialize anyway. Let’s dismiss the war and plan for a greater prosperity for the South. A TEXAS WONDER.
