OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
m the language of John Spencer, it
is now coming on to he summer time,
"Von Below is said to be in charge
of the latest German drive. How long
before he will be gone below?
Black berries are coming. They are
fast turningdrom red to great polished
Mack hunks Of ° sWeetness and the
pickaninnies are after them with
great satisfaction.
Some of the cotton growers had
guch splendid suceess last year pick
ing the holl weevils that they are al
mdst sure that they can whip in the
fight this season. We shall see right
500 N,
Grain crops between Cordele and
Fitzgerald are indeed fine, They are
said never to have been finer in the
past twenty years. And all around in
different directions they are equally
as good.
It your threshing crew is wasting
q@ill, better get the machine in order,
If the threshing committee finds vou
wasting grain, your machine will he
p,\it.' aside for the season and may
never he permitted (o operate again,
Better suve and he suafe
" Crisp county cotton growers are
figh!hlr, the I:Qfll article, the holl wee
vil, This pest came this year with the
first cotton squares and is doing con
giderable damage. Our farmers should
r@fiflmlwr that the experts said this
would be our year of Lheaviest losses,
: THE FAIR PREMIUMS
_Of course there are to he handsome
premiums at the fall fair in Crisp. Of
course there is going to he a tair, for
this yvear above uall others even the
government declares that nothing can
be of more educative value to the peo
ple that the county fairs at which the
people will better have an opportunity
to know the means of living at less
cost, the means of foods, and the met
hods of making move food
Government ofticicals have express
€d ctrong preference for the county
fair to carry for ward this instructive
work. Campaigng cannot he carried on
with better effect at any time than al
the jair and we are going to have ours,
and a good one,
Sinvv that is the case, here is a sug
gestion which comes from those in
charge of government work in lhf‘;
section of the country. The premiums
are to he made to fit the very wnrk§
that is being done to forward our in- |
terests in the war. The premiums in:!
sewing and knitting fit the war work"
precisely. These for cooking and food |

téod-eampaigns. The canning and pre-
serving of foods can never he hetter
presented than through the canning
clubs and their prizes should all he ar
ranged with a view of bringing out
the best there is in the county,
The Corn and Pig clubs are running
a vitally interesting part of the very
work the gnvw'numl'n is pushing and
nrging all the time,
They are clamoring for the fair in
order that they may have Bsome oc
casion and some place where they may
show their neighbors and the general
piiblic what they have done, A county
fuir was never more necessary than
NGW, NOr WEre we ever more sirong
ly called upon to provide a premium
list that will enahle us to realize
largely the thingg we want for the
war,

NOT CAUGHT NAPPING
If the digpatches coming from across
the seag in connection with the an
nouncement that the German drive ig
again under way to the effect that
they have not caught General Foch
napping are true,—then ail is well, Be
fore this latest wiggle has its last wag,
somehody is going to he dead.
There was an air of confidence in
the tirst dispatches announceing the
tresh excitemnent. It was early recealed
that strong British and French forces
were hehind the lines ready with their
old time valor, Even these Allied arm
ity were looking for some trick, and
trick yet there may be. The strokes
Monday were not looked for in the
scuth, but these as vet may be a blind.
There is enough in it to keep our
armies guessing a bit.
Nothing ever will better reveal that
it is yet a question of man power, So
long as the Germans had the Allies
out numbered in the recent drive they
gained, but with the equal numbers
facing them, they suffered bloody de
feat and had to stop. Now they hope
to show larger numbers again and
thereby make the gains they consider
50 nm-o-ssnvry. Teh Germans know
what man power means. Soon nw,v
will also know what American man
power means,
All America is watching the deve
lopments, for if the Germans are heat
en this time, each renewed effort will
be a weaker one and consequently less
difficult to manage. All the time more
of our own soldiers will he reaching
the front and the spirit of the change
will be the fire and enthusiasm of
every fighting man.
We must have the larger numbers.
We must knock out those German
:nirplum:s 80 fast as to make it inmpos
sible tor them to get in the way, We
must he able to strike with great fury
and fight with Hun deviltry.

FOLLOW THE PRESIDENT
Before a joint session of congress
President Wilson Monday declared
that the nation would willingly accept
any just form of taxation in order to
help meet the needs of the conflict
with Germany. He was right. He must
be credited with having a hand on the
pulse of the nation. In the south es
pecially, we know ourselves of the
willingness with which the people are
facing the costs of the war. And it
need not be inferred that this is not
the case in other sections. It is pro
bably just as true with the north, east
‘m«i west. The president knows and
'hu savs the people are willing.
| The thing he is calling for is a
' anited front in the matter of reaching
a revenue getting basis that will be
Inquimhle to all the people. He knows
e neds the counsel and wisdom of all
themembers of both the house and
the senate to reach a satisfactory
| working lmsi:\' for raising the revenue
Cwhich will be needed to carry on the
war,
- That great streams of moepey mast
; be made to tlew into the nationsa!
!trmnury for a long time to come is
| now a pretty well setded matter. An
iulho-r vear of war is sure, and mavhe,
{nwrv will then be fighting to do. An
agreement on all sides as to the plans
10 be pursued is the all iuumrl:nl'l
thing now,
The president calls upon (-ongross;
for cooperation and wise deliberation
because the matter of raising revenues
in just and fair manner is no eas,\'il
task. It will be the bhest thing repnbli'!
cans and remocrates alike can do get f
immediately down to hard work on the |
question of revenues for the war. hi
is apparent that President Wilsou .
knows full well that by the time the
machinery is set going the country
will be in need of money, l.et us see
how well our national law makers
spond,
MORE ABOUT BRIDGE
Did you note the other day that the
government is doing its best to turn
over its half of the mony which is go
ing to be nsed in constructing a hridge
aver the Oconee river on the highway
from Savannah to Montgomery
through here? News accounts are to
that effect. Here we are around Cor
dele waiting on our chamber of com
merce to hateh out while the bridge
Is going to the future w-lmn men forget,
We ought to have that chamber of
Commerce completed so we could at
least get a committee assigned to the
bhusiness of looking after the bhridge
across the Flint river, It's ag easy to
ger that bridge now as it will ever he
in the wide world, Surely we are not
going to sit idly by and see this thing
of such importance left to grow up in
tall weeds.
If the two counties that are agreed
to put a bridge over the Oconee river
succeed in their enterprise, we ought
to put in the heginner's class for fail
ing to get ours. There is less wealth
and a more expensive structure neces
sary over the Oconee, Let us get after
ours,
There is some vMally necessary
work in business circles that must he
finished right away. Who will see 1o
it?
THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
The question of obtaining a sufficient
amount of labor upon the farms is the
one that is bothering the farmers.
In order to maintain as nearly as
possible the normal supply of farm
labor, the farmer must draw upon
other than the usual sources., The
most important of these will probably
be the following as suggested by one
writer:
1. Retired farmers from the small
towns and villages, especially at the
critical periods, such as planting and
harvesting.
2. Merchants and other business
men from the country towns and vil
lage. These can usually get away
from their business for a few days
at a time, especially during the farm
ers' rush seasons, when business is
very quiet in town.
3. Boys of high school age who do
not normally work on farms,

5. Other workers, especially those |
who have had more or less farm ex-l
perience, who are engaged in less es-l
sential industries, many of which will!
no doubt be curtailed if the war (:on-‘
tinues for any length of time, 1
The opportunity of the city and‘i
townfolks to help the farmer is here.
Those who can offer their service are
requested to register their names and |
addresses with the County Demonstra
tion Agent,
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has recently issued a statement in
which he says:
“Ifarmers have done and will con
tinue to do their part. They have
planted generously, They will need
the assistance in cultivation and
harvesting of many additional labhor
ers, The critical factors in crop pro
duetion after planting will he weather
and labor. Weather is beyond human
control, but the necessary labor for
cultivating and harvesting the food
crops plunled’hy the farmers of this
country must be supplied when and
where most needed.
“The Department of Agriculture
‘and Labor are cooperating and are
taking ev;ery step possible to help the
farmers secure labor. It now devolves
upon the cities and towns to lend as
sistance, This duty exists in peace
times because the urban commmuni
ties are vitally dependent upon the
back country for their very existence;
some owe their very heing to the sur
rounding rural districts. In thig emer
gency they must labor with other
gugencies to see that the crops are cul
itivuted and harvested. | trust that the
‘lll()ughtful people of the towns and
i('ilies will realize that the farmers can
not work miracles, and that upon the
cities rests the responsibility of fur
ini:-;him; the necessary supplement of
man power.”
