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.

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 nigh the Where the purple morning glory, the honeysuckle twine!

Shop early. Only 16 more shop ping days until Xmas. Get busy. You will benefit younself and the clerks. What the Exchanges Have to Say The editor of the Anderson. S. C..

A funeral procession in New York the other day, headed by an auto mobile hearse, was making about thirty-five miles an hour, according to tiie report of a policeman—News Item. “That crowd,” save the Griffin News, “must have been paying the last sad rites to some speed fiend. “A Michigan woman lias married the same man three times,” says a news story. The inference is. ot course, that he lias married tier the same number of times. —Macon News. 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. —Albtny Herald. 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 price in meats in the next few,Tears regardless of how much attention i paicl to raising beet cattle, as to make it unhrofitabl 3 for farmers to HS %It’s w? old-old'wisfy OoaTtrjy tiUjecvdl It’s sin)p!y . .*\* Merry (o risk me* {Bot I wT£b it- COPYRIGHT ISO THf * v. 04 VI9 CO.
