A Bottomless Hole
J. A. JOHNSON
One of the South's leading econo
saists has pointed out with much force
and frequency that the great trouble
with the Southern farmer is not lack
of wealth-producing power, but lack
of wealth-retaining power. The farm
ers of Georgia or of North Carolina
produce as much wealth in two years
as they have accumulated in all his
tory of their state. The corn-belt
farmer gets some profit—makes some
addition to his permanent capital out
of almost every year's work. The av
erage cotton-belt farmer produces year
after year and holds practically noth
ing of what he makes.
With a product worih fifty to one
hundred dollars an acre it looks as {f
tobacco-helt farmers should be getting
rich ;but when the tobacco crop is sold
dependence and bread and meat and
grain and hay must be bought out of
it. So long as Florida pays out three
quarters of her income from citrus
fruits for hay, citrus growing will not
make the state rich.
This is not saying that it will not en
rich the individual farimers who grow
hay as well as oranges. It is likely
to do this, just as cotton and tobacco
real wealth-increasing crops when
grown as a part of a rational series of
farm crops.
“It is usually cheaper for the farmer
to produce the farm crops of his sec
tion than to buy them. He usually
has to buy them at retail prices,while
he sells his own products at wholesale.
Dairymen in the northeast who buy all
or nearly all their feeds, seem to be in
the same fix as the cotton croppers
of the south. Both are hard at work
trying to produce enough of their sale
crops to fill a “Bottomless Hole.”
A better plan is to put a bottom in
the hole with home-grown hay and
corn and meat and garden truck.”
The above comes from a sane and
sound farm paper. It is so good and
so timely and fits our condition so weli
until it did not seem unwise to bring it
and its thought before you.
There is no denying the fact that
there are many of us doing our share
packing this “pottomyless hole.” It
ought to be stopped. And it might be
said, incidentally, that right here in
our section a sound and permanent
pottom is going to be put in this det
riment to a wealth-retaining system.
Whether you are willing to accept the
truth now or not, you will find it fore
ing itself upon you in a very short
gpace of time. It isn't going to be as
easy for many to pack in a space with
a bottom in it as it has been when the
packing material went on thru, but we
can learn, and we will be better ofi
for the learning.
It isn’t hard to see in looking around
the many things being shipped in
that we can raise cheaper than we car
puy them. We'll take one product anc
see what we are doing to produce it
and what we might be doing. Mor¢
than two months ago more than 20
000 pounds of bacon and hams were e
ing sold each month in Cordele by the
retail merchants alone. And the lard
that is being sold—there's no telling.
Through efforts of production right
here in our own county our farmers
could have been supplying a very large
portion of this commodity. And they
certainly could have supplied and con
tinue to supply what they are buying
:_uul will buy before their supply comes
in again.
There has been a magnificant thing
to occur in this county this year. There
is in one of Crisp’'s trading centers, a
little town, a large supply firm that
had not up to within a month ago
handled a single pound of white meat
to supply its trade. This product was
all home-grown. The firm does nc
meager business, either. What has
been done in this instance could be
duplicated over and over, and it ought
to be done.
We just have not done these things
but there is necessity just the samc
It is going to take some thought and
real effort to make success come along
these lines. But success can be made
WON'T DEPEND ON COTTON.
Goggansville Farmers Are Going Intc
The Live Stock Business Now.
Goggansville, Sept. 11.—The farmers
of this section are much interested in
ithe report brought back from the bol
weevil sections of Alabama by a party
of gentlemen recently going there
They are assuring the people that the
weevil is sure to get them and urging
them te get ready by diversifying
their crops. A number of citizens
here have branched out this year in
to the cattle business by forming large
pastures and stocking the same with
voung heifers.
A large acreage of grain will be
put in this fall and a number are tc
be put in alfalfa.
An unusually large corn crop will
be harvested and altogether the pros
pects are very encouraging, the com
ing of the boll weevil notwithstanding.
“CHINK"” POUND GOES
TO NEW POSITION
Emmett Pound, Jr., better known
among his numeroug friends here as
“Chink,” has accepted a position with
the clerical department of Lamar, Tay
lor & Riley, wholesale druggists al
Macon, and expects to leave Thursday
to take up his new duties. Mr. Pound
has been connected with the Suwanee
Pharmacy for more than six years.
and in this position has exemplitied
himself as a capable and deserving
young man. Mrs. Pound will remain
in Cordele with her mother, Mrs. W.
A. Dixon, for a few weeks and will
then join Mr. Pound in Macon to make
their future home. The best wishes
of their many Cordele friends go with
them to their new home.
In Great Britain the skins of dam
son plums, of which the yield this
season has been unusually large, are
to be used as a blue dye, especially
by carpet makers, as the ordinary sup
ply from Germany has been cut off.

Keeping up with the procession is not enough for the General—he
must lead. And lead he does—in volume, quality and price.
The General’s leadership is due to the enormous resources at
his command —the five #’s of modern manufacturing — men,
money, mills, machinery and materials.
Men who have learned the roofing business
through years of practical experience are in
charge of every department of the business.
Men who have made a life study of the
blending of asphalts comprise the General’s
Board of Expert Chemists.
Money—the means to promote efficiency,
increase out-put, reduce cost, prevent waste
-—is at the General’s call in abundance.
Mills—the largest roofing mills in the world
are the General’s. They are advantageously
located at points where cost of fuel, access
to raw materials and quick distribution of
of finished products are most tavorable.
Machinery — the most modern known to
the roofing business, equips each of the
