There is nothing wrong with the

You remember the saying, when

The parting of ways with Lemne and

will soon shed some new light on this

A revelation might come to Cor

The people of Crisp county must

We have abundance of work which

of the many things a trade board can

In many sections of the country
trade centers as large as Cordele are

SLANDERING THE PEANUT
Somebody in South Ceorgia persists
in slandering the pounin There is a
lumenmtion,ubuul the. price hanging
around 3100 a ton and it is claimed
ihiat the farmer can make nothing for
himself raising them and selling at
such a price, That assertion is not
true, The farmer can raise them and
make money at $lOO a ton even in
these times of high prices. That is a
thing just as sure as an individual
goes at it and gives his time honestly
?aml faithfully, The farmer can make
fmmmy growing peanuts at such a
price, and he should be glad of the
opportunity. He ought to hope that
| this price stavs up.
| It is not the price which fmfl made
it hard for the farmer the past season
It has been the weather and the lack
of labor. There was a season in the
fall,—a long season, which 'gvas ideal
for threshing peanuts and many farm
ers took advantage of this weather.
Seon a long raing season f:,llir.\'wl and
‘m this goud hour there are many
hundred bushels still in the stacks
in Crisp county, We assure that this
is the case all gver the peanut grow
ing belt. It is a rather bad plight to
get in. The farmers who have heen
~caught in this manner will hardly get
through with the old crop till the
dry winds of March come to their re
lief. Picking and threshing ”oan he
done only in dry weather, :
They were caught in this predica
ment because- they had no labor to
get through '\\'imw;hq,_pjg;king. Thosz
who were more fortunate went
through with the picking at the pro
per time. The lesson of the past sea
son has taught farmers not to |)u:;:-‘

handsome profit. /.f\nd the peanut svu-!

Hundreds of these qm‘stim\uirefl‘
have been returned to the department
and according to statoments made by
its offocals, about ninety per cent of
the men who were engaged in agri
cultural pursuits, will resume this
line of activity upon their demobili
zation. This applies not only to the
white selectmen but also to the ne
£roes now in uniform.
One of the most serious phases of
the agricultural problem in the south
since the mobilization of hundreds of
thousands of men from all walks of
life. has been the shortage of labor
for the proper cultivation of farms As
a result of this shortage. agricultural
products have rvisen tremendously in
price, for the cost of labor mounted
enormausly along with the cost of
every other adjunct necessary in the
production of a crop.
dred pounds to pick had to bring a
'high price on the market, especially
!when fertilizers had soared to new
;lligll figures and lzbor for cultivation
{was almost unobteinable at anything
:likl! reasonable price, Food products
zthut could be riised and - harvested
ionly at an extortionate price for la

ingly high prices. :
Even with the dawn of peace and
lthe prospect of comparatively early
demobilization, farmers anticipated
l that the labor shortage would continue
!m be acute next year. They believed
%lh:xl negro farm labors who had hecn

;tu return to agricultural pursuits,
;}-‘m'nvrs throughout Georgia have
i been making preparations to operate
}nn a. decidedly reduced scale next

! The announcement from the state,

| “HOGS RUN INTO MONEY"
i' Moultrie Obhserver: The story of
the rise and growth of the packing
‘husinuss here and elsewhere in the
south sounds like a story from Ara
bian Nights, The announcement that
Swift & Company, at their Moultrie
plant, paid two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for hogs alone in
:n six days illustrates how hogs run
mto money. And this happen in a
‘ountry that had no hogs for sale five
rears ago. One hundred and twelve
ars of hogs shipped into Moultrie in
me week sounds like the country may
he \wn'kin'g alive with hogs, This is‘
nore than a solid train load of eigh
een cars loaded with hogs N)mingi
n each day. It represents as muny\
rainloads of meat and packing louse
products going out in a week .The m-!
tal receipts for the week exceeded !
ten thousand hogs. Cattle are not
mentioned in this transaction, though
the plant was doing its usual beef
business, Ten thousand head of hogs
coming’ to market where there was
no market five years ago and from uj
territory that had no hogs to sell at
that time. And yet, we imagine that
the hog receipts of today are little
of nothing comparad with what they
will be five years from now. The hog
business is just getting started. The
tarmers are learning how to raise
them. They are learning how to make
feed for them that lasts the year
round and how to protect them from
cholera.
The peice conference preliminaries
start today. There a full six months
work ahead of this body of entente
statemen, The map of the world will
be changed widely from its old form
prior to the breaking out of the war.
