The Cotton Plan Goes Over
We reecived official notice Satur
day that the Secretary of Agricul
ture had declared the cotton plan in
effect.
This is good news to the mass of
Georgia farmers who have been
struggling unsuccessfully to control
prices by reducing their own acre
age while other sections had made
large increases thht piled up a sur
plus in spite of all our efforts. We
hope that this successful campaign
will be the first step in an era of
intelligently controlled acreage. It
means for one thing that farmers
are willing to co-operate when they
have properly organized leadership
and well considered plans to follow.
Butts county hud signed up three
thousand six hundred and seventy
seven acres to be plowed up that had
been cheeked and approved by the
committees Minday night. There arc
a few other contracts signed last
week but not yet completed which
will add a little to our acreage. This
is probably one-fourth of the cotton
acreage of the county though it is
only about 80 per cent of the quota
assigned to the county. While I re
gret that we could not meet the full

Sure Relief for Malaria!
Don't try homemade treatments or
newfangled remedies! Take that good old
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic. Soon you
will be yourself again, for Grove’s Taste
less Chill Tonic not only relieves the
symptoms of Malaria, but destroys the
infection itself.
The tasteless quinine in Grove’s Taste
less Chill Tonic kills the Malarial infec
tion in the blood while the iron it con
tains builds up the blood to overcome the
effects of the disease and fortify against
further attack. The twofold effect is ab
solutely necessary to the overcoming of
Malaria. Besides being a dependable rem
edy for Malaria, Grove’s Tasteless Chill
Tonic is also an excellent tonic of general
use. Pleasant to take and absolutely
harmless. Safe to give children. Get a
bottle today at any store.

quota I do not think we need to be
ashamed of our report.
I want to congratulate the large
number of our farmers who did co
operate and am very sorry to have
to report to Washington the name?
of over sixty farmers who refused to
do so.
I want to thank especially the lo
cal committees who co-operated
heartily and contributed largely to
I the success of the campaign. And in
justice to them I want to say that
when they started in the campaign
it was not expected that they would
be paid for their time and it was
doubtful whether they would be paid
foi the gas and oil they burned.
They had been at work for several
days before we were notified thud,
they would be paid. Some of them
did not get this information till their
work was about done. They certain
ly deserve the thanks of the county
foi their public spirited service.
The county committee and espe
cially Mr. C. M. Compton rendered
invaluable service without which the
campaign would have fallen short of
full success. Iwant to thank them
personally and I am sure the entire
county feejs grateful to them for
their good work. And we owe a great
deal to Miss Susannah Foster and
her helpers with the clerical work
for their faithful and patient work
in making out the papers and pre
paring them for the committees.
What success we have had is due
to the co-operation of a large part
of our folks. This is only the first
step and it is going to take co-opera
tion to carry our plans on so that
we shall get permanent bentfit. Let
us gird our loins for a patient, un
wavering effort to put our business
or a permanently profitable basis.

on farms in the United States, of
which 16,666,688 were milk cows.

AMBITION Serge had it
When I hear farmers talking as if
they were all headed for the poor
house I think of my neighbor, Serge
Katorsky. Serge came over from Rus
sia just before the war, because he
had five children and wanted to give
them a chance. He had about three
hundred dollars to start with.
He bought a couple of hundred
acres of cheap mountain land about
five miles from my farm, and started
to work. He repaired the tumble
down old house, and in these twenty
years has so improved it that it is
the most comfortable farm-house I
have ever seen. There are eleven
children now, seven of them through
high school, two through college,
three of the girls finishing up in the
State Normal School. And what
marks those Katorsky kids do get in
school!
Serge started with some scrub
cows but has bred up his dairy herd
until it’s one of the best in the dis
trict. They grow or raise practically
all they eat, and they certainly live
well.
Serge Katorsky had the two essen
tials for successful living, industry
and ambition. With those a man can
get almost anywhere.
COLORS have a care
If you take your automobile with
you on your tour of the world, be
sure the color is one that won’t of
fend the people of any particular na
tion. In Finland they don’t permits
cars or anything else to be painted
red. Red is the color of Communism,
and the Finns are scary #bout their
communistic neighbors next door in
Russia.
One American got into trouble in
Java with a light cream-colored car.
White and cream are mourning colors
in the Dutch East Indies, and are
permitted only on hearses. A yellow
car is an offense in China, for the
same reason.*
You don’t want to take a green
car to either England or India. In
England there is a popular supersti
tion that green is an unlucky color.
Books and plays have been written
about girls who wore green stock
ings, with the result they never could
get a man to marry them! And in
India green is reserved for the use
of pious Mohammedans who have
made the pilgrimage to Mecca and
so are entitled to wear the green tur
i ban.
Better play safe —if you’re really
going—and take a plain black or
dark blue car with you on your
world tour. .
FIRST two more
My friend Joe Kane has written a
book to tell who was the first to do
or make many things in common use.
It’s an interesting book, called ’‘Fam
ous First Facts,” but I ran -across a
couple of “firsts” the other day that
Joe hasn’t got in his book.
The first white bread was made
l*y an English miller, Huge Padding
ton, because a nobleman in his town
wanted bread to match his white ta
ble-linen! That was news to me when
Fi ank Romer told me.
And the first paved street in Am
erica is in down-town New York. It
is named, appropriately, Stone Street.
A Dutch brewer’s wife in 1648 got
tired of having her husband’s drays
mired in the mud, so she had her ser
vants lay cobble-stones the whole
length of the street.
Interesting, if not important!
BUNK grain alcohol
We heard a lot, last year, about a
great scheme to convert surplus
grain into alcohol. The idea was to
save the farmer by requiring every
gallon of gasoline to be mixed with
a certain portion of grain alochol.
The fuel research committee of
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce comes along now and
punctures that balloon. The gasoline
alcohol mixture, it finds, while it en
ables the motor to accelerate faster,
makes starting harder, absorbs mois
ture from the air, corrodes engine
and fuel pipe lines and costs much
more t-han straight gasoline. Besides,
alcohol of higher quality can be pro
duced from petroleum more cheaply
than the poorer quality obtainable
from grain.
Some day motors doubtless will be
run by alcohol, but they will be built
for alcohol use alone and used only
where and when the gasoline supply
has given out'.
STEAM inexpensive
Driving through a Northern indus
trial city with an engineer friend I
saw a curious piece of construction
under way. It looked just as if a
huge steam engine were being built
out of doors.
“That’s just what it is,” my friend
told me. “That’s the newest idea in
large steam plants for generating
electric power. What sense is there
iri putting up an expensive building
just to house a steam engine? It’s
cheaper to protect the equipment
with asbestos, against cold weather,
and put just enough of a roof over
it to keep the snow off. Then, when
you have to enlarge the plant, you
don’t have to tear out a heavy brick
wall and build an expensive exten
sion. Besides, nobody ever yet found
a way to keep a boiler-room clean
enough to guard against dust explo
sions without hiring a lot of extra
help.”
That sounded reasonable. It also
