DOWN ON THE FARM
By W. M. BRYAN
We are in the midst of our crop
operations. Now is the time to make
good. Harvest time is now on and
we are trying to plan our mid-spring
crops. Let us not lose sight of plant
ing our grain lands to useful food
and feed crops. Peas, beans, corn,
cane, potatoes, turnips and many
other crops. Every farmer needs
to plant a cane patch to make his
syrup and plenty late feed. John D.
Rockefeller planned ahead. We can
do likewise.
We must make our influence count
for good. Once there was a promi

on and many were sad at his de
parture. He was a useful fellow,
and one of his neighbors said he was
a good whistler. Your influence is
for good or bad. Make it count for
good, if only a whistler. So if you
are farming profitably you not only
help your own self, bdt you help
your neighbor by being a leader.
We as farmers know more than
we practice. Say, how many farm
ers have made enough oats to feed
their stock a year? I know some
farmers that have done this. Oats
are much easier to grow than corn.
There is nothing better than be
ing on time, if you get behind it is
hard to catch up. Oats sown in
September will make better grain
without fertilizer than if sown in
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JUNE 12, 1925
BILLIONS IN GOLD
LOST FROM SIGHT
Treasure Hoarded in All
Countries but India Has
Immense Quantities.
Washington.—Who has all the gold?
The United States has the great
bulk of the gold that Is in actual live
ly circulation, but this is only a small
part of the gold that is known to be
in existence.
Thus far the best answer to the
question has been furnished by the
experts of the United States mint, who
assert that since Christopher Colum
bus discovered America in 1492 the
world has dug up gold to the value of
£3,965,000,000. or $20,000,000,000.
Now since gold does not decay or
wear out appreciably it is argued
that the vast bulk of this is still in
actual existence. But the authorities
of the United States mint say that
they can trace in actual circulation in
the various countries only $9,210,000,-
000. By the painful operation of sub
traction we learn that some $10,615,-
000,000 in pure gold has disappeared
from view.
Use in the Arts.
Perhaps $5,000,000,000 of It has
been converted into gold ornaments
of various sorts. Goldsmiths witli a
taste for antiquarian research regard
five billion as the very outside figure
as /an estimate of the gold “con
sumed" in the arts. Granting that
this estimate is sound, this leaves
about $5,615,000,000 which has com
pletely disappeared from view 1
Joseph 8. McCoy of the United
States treasury says foreign-born citi
zens of the United States have se
questered at least $225,000,000 in gold,
while farmers, suspicious of their lo
cal banking resources, have concealed
another $125,000,000 and the “misers"
of the towns and cities "who live in
squalor and gloat over their hoards
hidden in socks, coffee-pots or fruit
jars or buried at the foot of trees"
have concealed another $44,000,000.
Hoarded in India.
But of course there is India —and
when it comes to hoarding gold, the
United States cannot hold a candle
to India. India is where the gold is.
From ryot to rajah the Indians know
gold, like it, get it and keep it.
The women-folks of the most im
poverished Indians have gold bangles,
anklets, armlets or nosering. The
marwarrl, or local money-lender, turns
his day’s proceeds into gold and
buries it. The native princes exhaust
their rich Oriental imaginations in
contriving new ways of "consuming"
gold.
Scores of Indian temples are deco
rated with pure gold, offerings of the
devout. Every few years the domes
of these temples are re-gilded with
the precious metal.
There is one rajah—not “Mr. A" —
whose fancy It Is to have his palace
illuminated with multitudinous small
panes of glass in the center of which
is a gold sovereign worth at par, $4.86.
Another Indian prince has had the
hobby of collecting hundreds of thou
sands of gold mohurs and “great
mohurs," which were the gold sov
ereigns and double-sovereigns in In
dia of many years ago.
In Other Nations.
South Africa, too, Is known to have
s great hoard of gold. A South Afri
can bank recently estimated that the
Kaffirs alone had concealed $90,000,-
000 worth of gold. As for China —she
exports gold into India at the rate of
$20,000,000 worth a month and her
hoards show no signs of exhaustion.
But it is one thing to know where
the gold is and quite another to kuow
how to coax it back into the world
of affairs.

November with fertilizer. We are
anxious to see Hart county farmers
make enough oats to feed their stock
a whole year. You won’t have to
work one-sixth as much as to raise
corn for feed. You will improve
your land by sowing small grain.
Rye is a fine cover crop. Try and
sow a few acres of rye- for seed,
and you will help build up your worn
out cotton land. Every farmer
needs to plant more legume crops.
Crimson clover is one of the best.
Go out and see what your neighbor
has to say about crimson clover.
Every farmer needs to start him a
seed patch and by this method you
can stock your whole farm. Crim
son clover will save you fertilizer
bills. This should be a year of great
improvements in the way of farm
ing. Consult our demonstrators,
they will assist you with great plea
sure. We want Hart county to be
one of the best in the state.
Let us put on a campaign in Hart
county for greater grain crops this
fall than ever before.
When the time comes to do a
thing, just do it. Some farmers do.
Be honest with your self, if you
need advice, call for it. If your
barn is not filled with oats and other
good feed crops, whose fault..
