FARMERS KEEP ON YOUR GUARD.
Lhere are appropriation bills before every legislature and
of other appropriation bills before congress, calling
Mr hundreds of millions of dollars, and all advocated upon
ie contention that they will help the farmer.
f The farmer needs help; but above all things the farmer
needs to help himself, and he ought not to allow politicians
to delude them with their log-rolling measures.
When they talk to you about their additional appropria
tions for this institution, that and the other, ask them to give
you full information concerning former appropriations; ask
them to show something to justify that. When that can be
done, co-operate m securing an extension of the good work.
Smith, of Georgia, proposes a system of agriculj
■jMfcctension well, and the farmer should

r GEORGIA PRODUCTS IN VERSE.
Since Governor Slaton has proclaimed November 18th as
Georgia Products Day, and urged its observance along the
lines indicated by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, there
has been a great searching for verses and poems relating to
Georgia and her products. It is remarkable how many times
these have proven a theme for most acceptable and even un
usual verse, among which may be enumerated the following
by Frank L. Stanton in his book “Songs of the Soil.’’
“A SONG OK SUMMER-TIME.”
O summertime in Georgy, I love to sing your praise !
i hough I’ve got no voice for singin’, it’s a tune I love
to raise.
When the birds is panin\ chantin', an’ jest rantin’
roun’ the rills.
With the juice o'ripe blackberries jest a-drippin from
their bills!
O summertime in Georgy, when through leaves o' green
an’ brown u
r "* r
Tne dew that smells o’ violets comes twinklin', tinklin’
down
On the wild an’ wavin’ grass that feels the sunbeam
.it slips,
’ An’ the dusty lily up its white an’ thirsty lips:
O summertime in Georgy, with the glory in the dells, "*
Where the rich an’ rainy ineense.Mrom the tresh nin’
shower swells,
An’cross the bars to twinklin’ stars floats twili°ht’s
fare-you- wells
In the lowin’ o’ the cattle and the tinklin’ o’ the bells.
O summertime in Georgy, when nigh the
Where the purple morning glory, the honeysuckle twine!
The whip-poor- will was singing 'their notes o’ love and
bliss,
An’ to my lips was dingin’ the lips I love to’kiss..
Stay, like a dream o' beauty, while deares’ dreams depart
An* rain vour honey-sweetness in showers roun’ my
heart. >
Pshaw I’m getting so soft hearted, my eyes kin hardly
see,
0 summertime in Georgy, you’re the best o’ times to me.
Shop early. Only 16 more shop
ping days until Xmas. Get busy.
You will benefit younself and the clerks.

“A Michigan woman lias married

course, that he lias married tier the
same number of times. —Macon

A New York bride of three weeks
killed herself after the first quarrel
with her husband. Had she been
willing to live a while linger she
would have learned that family
quarrels are an essential part of
married life. What man would live
with a woman who never took up
the cudgel in Iter own defense?
Or what woman would live with a
man who never lost his temper? All
his virtues would be unappreciated.

If Australian cattle growers can
raise meat and sell it in the United
Stares, at a profit of course why
cannot Georgia farmers raise beef
cattle and sell meat profitably Vhen
they don't have to ship their prod
ucts half way round the world? The
truth is that not enough meat by a
large amount is raised in the United
States. And it isn’t likely that
there! will be such a reduction In
