Coun.ty Development.
The county system is a wholesome
and wise provision made possible by
our forefathers, the advantages of
which have not been given fullest
mention. The development of our
political subdivisions known as coun
ties has gone forward at a rapid
pace during the last few years.
County fairs, county farmers’ and
other organizations, county Sunday
school associations, county good
roads associations, in addition to
county government, have all contri
buted to these ends.
The idea of county cooperation
gives all of us a broader view and
tends to knit together our multi
tude of pecessary relationships. The
various communities of the county
are given opportunity to put their
forces for good into the common
pot thus building up the outlying
districts in a broad spirit of unity.
The Sun stands foresquare for any
and all movements for the advance
ment of Hart county as a whole. In
doing this we help ourselves materi
ally because we get the advantage of
the other developing factors and
forces of the entire county. This
is the spirit of big business; and
Hart county is a big business—a big
business institution for promoting
prosperity and happiness.
Ceylon is nearly the size of Ire
land. It is a separate entity, pos

The narrowest street in the United
States is believed to be in St. Augus

Crop Outlook
Virginia, Nortn Carolina, South
Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Tennes
see and Missouri all report crops 15
days late. Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi say 10 days late.
The average condition is 54 which
seems would indicate a yield of 12,-
400,000 bales.
The average condition in Septem
ber 25th for 10 years is 56, and the
average 10 year yield is 159 pounds
lint per acre.
The present indicated yield based
on last report is 149 pounds per
acre.
Texas is put down with a prospec
tive yield of 4.195,000 bales.
Georgia’s estimate, 1,185,000
bales.
Because of the severe drought
which occurred over the greater part
of the cotton belt since our investi
gation up to August 23rd, the condi
tion of the crop has taken a sharp
downward trend. Our survey as of
September 24th shows a percentage
of 54.2.
Insect damage has been restricted,
except in the eastern belt where, be
cause of heavy rainfall during the
week previous to our investigation,
(heavy and continued rains have
fallen in the eastern section since
the within survey was made), there
is a noticeable increase in the acti
vity of the weevil.
With few exceptions the prospects
for a top crop are not encouraging.
In only some scattered territories is
there a possibility of additional yield
from this source, providing the
weather is clear and have a late
frost.
There are numerous complaints of
a scarcity of pickers in sections of
Oklahoma and Texas. Over the bal
ance of the belt the labor situation
is normal.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., OCTOBER 10, 1924
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By
To those of you who think that the
cost of living is high back South, a
trip out West would be a revelation.
“You don’t know the half of it,
dearie.” Out here one’s Expense
check melts away like snow before
sunshine. Now you have it, now you
haven’t. The item of hotel rates,
taxi bills, railroad fares, meals, not
to mention “tips,” and other varied
incidentals, all amount up to quite
a bit anywhere, but in the West it
looms up to greater proportions be
cause everything is just a little high
er than at home. Os all the states
in my territory, Wyoming with its
one step for me—Laramie—, is the
top-notcher. A mediocre hotel there,
charges $2.50 per day for its cheap
est room; any sort of light meal
mounts to one-fifty as a minimum;
taxi rates ae exhorbitant; -even a
shoe shine costs fifteen cents! How
ever, as long as the “boss” pays the
bill, I’m not going to let these things
worry me. There are too many
other worries, such as competition,
and slow trains and bum food to
waste my sympathy on the high cost
of living.
And speaking of food, every sec
tion of the Country has its “pet”
dish. “Grits,” so familiarly called
in the South, is an unknown dish as
far as I have been able to learn, out
here. Instead, they feast on egg
plant, rhubarb, carrots and a peculiar
variety of squash. This crooked
squash looks very much like a pota
to and is cooked a great deal like
candied sweet potatoes, only the
taste is rather bitter and not very
pleasant to me. Just like it is in
the East, this is a pie-eating country.
No meal ever ends in the West with
out some sort of pie.
However, don’t let the above criti
cism of the West on its high cost of
living and its foods be inferred that
I do not love this section of the
United States. Far from it. Next
to the South, it is the garden spot
of America. Its people are big
hearted and generous by nature; pro
gressive and ambitious by inclina
tion ; strong and active by reason
of their environment. It is a beau
tiful country, for the most part, too.
The plains, those level sections that
stretch as far as the eye can see,
are attractive because of their “dif
ferentness.” And the mountains,
the Rocky Mountains, standing out
in bold relief against the plains,
stark and rugged, hold the eye of
the on-looker with whole-hearted ap
peal and when the day draws to a
finish and the sun sends its last
rays out of the Western sky, there
comes a picture the most beautiful
of all times—, a Western sun-set.
The West is only in its beginning.
Twenty years hence, perhaps, ten
years, we shall see rapid strides.
There will be a development out here
of all industries unparalleled in any
other part of the country.
Right now in Colorado, oil is be
ginninig to be an important factor.
It is only in its optmistic start, but
it is here and needs only the develop
ment. Last spring, around Fort Col
lins, a big gasser was brought in and
now, already, there are three paying
wells producing great quantities of
oil in that section. But that isn’t
all. Great oil companies have sent
their scouts out here, new companies
have been formed, leases have been
rapidly grabbed up, the steady stream
of machinery has poured ’till now
there are one hundred different oil
derricks that will have been complet
ed by Christmas time. And then
when these wells have been “spud
ded” in, and perchance oil comes
bubbling forth, who knows what a
far-reaching prosperity will engulf
this wonderful section. Oil is there
and oil will be gotten.
Fort Collins, this little city of a
few thousand people is already get
ting a touch of its newly acquired
riches. It was once a quiet little
agricultural town of retired farm
ers and staid, settled business men.
But it has awakened. The streets
are alive with people. The stores
are crowded. Two hotels are over
flowing with guests. A strange con
glomeration of people from every
where mix and mingle in suppressed
excitement. Day-time, a steady
grind and fever-heat work at the
field and in the oil offices. Night
time, back to town and much talk

and enthusiasm and grouping around
and light-hearted enjoyment of the
average adventurer’s life. The boom
of a new oil town! All the while,
another industry is having its an
nual fling at opportunity—the sugar
beet factory—and day in, and day
out, tons and tons of sugar-beets, the
money-crop of this section, goes
through the mill, coming out»at the
final culmination, a fine grade of
sugar. Not as good as cane sugar,
but a valuable sugar just the same.
One of the fine things about a
Freshman class in any college is its
energy and its determination to be
well thought of, as a whole. Tra
ditions are to be lived up to, and
expectations are to be matured. At
some schools, the height of glory of
a class is the painting of the class
numerals on some lofty smoke-stack.
At others, the class fights, or push
ball contests and so on, down the
list of colleges wild pranks of all
descriptions to befit a spirit of daring
and braving inborn in all Freshmen
classes. At old “Georgia,” along
before the “class fight” period, and
the push-ball contests, there was a
“painting era.” Do you remember
those few years back, when each
fall, without fail, the demure maidens
at Lucy Cobb waked up to find the
sacred iron goats painted a vivid
color, during the night? Great old
days! Treasured hours and days of
a Freshman’s life.
Out here at Colorado, there is still
another outlet to the Freshman’s
enthusiasm. Over in Golden, where
the school of mines is, mountains
surround this little city. High up,
on one of highest and barest of
these, a huge “M” is painted in
white, whose magnitude is such that
it shines out for miles and miles
over the surrounding country-side.
At Fort *Collins the same thought is
carried out and on a mountain, near
by the city, the single, white letter
“A” (aggies) blazes forth, carrying
with it the messages of ‘loyalty and
daring of a Freshman class to this
institution. A symbol? Yes. And
each college, with its wildest and
most fanciful Freshmen tradition,
this symbol stands forth in all its
strength because it is a proof of
loyalty, pride and determination at
the very beginning of a new life of
four years duration.

Good Roads
Two important changes have re
cently been made on the Hartwell-
Bowman road between the residence
of J. W. Cobb and J. N. Mays. Two
bad hills have been cut out and a
fill made across the creek above
high water mark and the road has
been top-soiled.
An example of the right kind of
cooperation was manifested Friday
of last week when J. O. Banister, J.
W. Cobb, J. Walton White, Jesse
Harper, J. N. Mays, M. V. Duncan,
T. Joe Rucker, Ralph Rucker, J. A.
J. Teasley and W. C. Fleming fur
nished teams and drivers to help the
road crew top soij the road.
These good people are to be com
mended for setting this good ex
ample of cooperating with the coun
ty commissioners in doing a work
that is needed and which cannot be
done without the cooperation of all
the folks. J. N. Mays and E. W.
Harper furnished the right-of-way
free of charge and J. N. Mays fur
nished soil for the job.
When the commissioners and farm
ers begin to pull together in build
ing good roads, we will have solved
a big problem.
The people of the Bio community
appreciate the important changes
that have been made and especially
those that have manifested a’ spirit
of cooperation.
Unfortunately too many of us want
a lot of good things without lending
a helping hand and we do not appre
ciate the doing of good things half
so much as those who cooperate.
May the good work of cooperation
as demonstrated by these good fel
lows at Bio be carried on in every
section of Hart county.
