Editor Tifton Gazette: •
A few days ago a gentleman asked me what
would be the difference in financial results in a
couple of years in a farmer paying $400 for a
registered bull, or $393 fora Ford automobile/
I will greatly appreciate it if you will, in
your wisdom, answer the question truly,
J. J. L. Phillips.
' Not owning either, we believe we are quali
fied to answer the question in an impartial, if
not lucid manner.
The difference depends entirely on which
way the farmer is headed.
If he purchased the bull, he would invest in
- m asset; if he bought a Ford, he would buy a
liability. . . i i , ,,
When he put his money into a registered bull,
he would buy something that would increase in
value with each passing year, and increase the
cash value of every head of cattle on his farm
", When he bought the car he would put his mon
ey into something that would never again bring
on the market what he paid for it, after it was
used the first time.
For know ye, my children, that he who buys
a car buys trouble; his days are full of cuss
t words and labor; his nights are restless, and his
expense account climbs like a gourdvine in
ft-’June. But he who puts his money into register
ed stock, invests as did the wise man who im
proved his talents, and his days shall be full of
plenty and his nights of ease, while his expense
d roi>s to the cellar.
IV e 1 will take a glance, through the orb of ex
perience, at what might be expected of the pur
chaser during the two-year limit.
He with the new Ford starts out as a proud
~ and stiff-necked man. He thinketh he knoweth
all about running the shebang, and putteth her
in high. Behold, she slammeth him against the
telephone pole and the bystanders gather the
fragments. Repairs, $35; surgeon, $20; lost
time, $?. (
He taketh his family for a joy ride, and to
show off beginneth hitting her up. He meeteth
his neighbor on the highway in a two-horse
wagon; the mules takety fright and run into
him. One broken axle; one demolished wagon;
four skinned shins, and the irate neighbor lick-
eth the dickens out of him. Garage bill, $55;
new wagon, $60; doctor’s bill, $25; lost time,
$8: what his wife said for the next six months
He goeth on a journey for a needed rest and
vacation. A tire bloweth up, a tack gett in the
carbureter, he pumpeth her up eleven times,
ytd walkcth eight miles for gaso. Finally, he
tumeth around and cometh back home and
sends the garage man for the leavings. Garage
bill, $15; gaso, $2; lost time, worthless; loss of
faith in himself and humanity, priceless.
He starteth to big meeting with his family
on Sunday and the car hitteth a stump en route
and they get there just in time to hear the clos
ing song and see the scraps of the dinner the
others bad.
He becometh stuck-up and proud, and his
neighbors look on him askance. They shun him
when they meet in the road arid he driveth by
like he was going for the stork.
His children catch the big-head; his girls
must have fine glad lags and his boys stealeth
out his car over-night and drive the country
over.
He killeth his neighbors’ pigs and chickens,
and they fill his hide with birdshot.
Finally, he spendeth his substance for repairs
and gasoline, and toward the end of the sec
ond year his car so rattleth that he is arrested
for disturbing the peace.
And the banker sueth his note and the sup
ply man shutteth off his rations, and the guano
seller taketh his corn for the scent due, and the
sheriff levieth on the Ford, which bringeth
$3.20 for scrap.
And so he goeth back to the soil, from
whence he came. For verily, I say unto you.
the proud shall be humbled and he who hitteth
the high places shall fall
As to the man who buyeth the bull. He car-
calves worth $450. Seven mixed blooded calves
and yearling*, worth $100 each. Total value,
from investment of $400, $1,750.
But, best of all, his profits have just begun
to come in. As the years pass, his stock increas
es in value, and in keeping with them his farm
takes on a new appearance of thrift and well
being.
For when he bought that registered bull he
crossed the Rubicon of indecision, and, turned
his back for all time on the one-crop,' back
breaking, South-impoverishing idea.
He served notice to the world that he was no
longer a follower of hide-bouftd custom, but
was a man who led and a man who thought for
himself. And for the same work he began to
get fourfold returns for his money.
As the years pass and prosperity is his, he
will have money to spare and perhaps can buy
a car as a luxury. But he will not have to buy
a Ford—he will have money enough to pur
chase an automobile.
If a farmer has $400, there should be no hesi
tation between a registered animal and
a car as to which to buy. It is a decision be
tween Poverty and Prosperity.

That cotton growers can win in the fight
against the boll v^eevil, the government’s «in
ners' report this fall proves.
A press account last Sunday stated that the
farmers of Decatur county considered they had
their fight won. The boll weevil appeared there
Inst year. This spring the great majority of
the farmers took the advice of the men who had
been in the thick of the bojl weevil fight in
the Southwest, planted a small acreage, plant
ed an early maturing variety, and planted it
early.
The result shows in the the ginners’ report
for September 25th, the latest figures available,
Decatur had ginned 6,901 bales of cotton up
to that date, compared with 7,716 bales on the
same date last year. The season this crop
earlier and under normal conditions Decatur
should have shown an advance of something
over 1,000 bales on that date compared with
the previous season, which proves, by govern
ment figures, that the cotton crop of that coun
ty, under the first full year °f boll weevil, is
less than 2,000 bales short of the previous year,
a decrease of about 20 per cent.
Now turn to the other side, and see what was
the result where no fight was made. Quitman
county, near the Alabama line, while a small
county, is a case in point.
In 1915 Quitman ginned 1,700 bales up to
September 25th. The weevil was left to do its
worst, practically no fight being made. This
year, Quitman had ginned only 700 bales to
September 26th.
A loss of over sixty per cent. But the actual
loss is much greater than that. The season is
earlier and the only cotton made under the boll
weevil is early cotton. Therefore, these 700
bales are about all that Quitman will get. The
county may get one-third of a crop, all told.
Here is a lesson for Tift county farmers. Bet
ter not plant any cotton at all next year, but
if you must, be guided by the object lesson af
forded by Decatur and Quitman counties.. If
a crop of cotton is worth planting, it is worth
fighting for.
