The Nation’s Problem
In an address delivered recently
by H. M. Atkinson, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, Georgia Railway
& Power Cos., Mr. Atkinsorv stated
that the most important problem thia
nation has today is the re-orgaaiiza
tion and re-creation of the condi
tions under which agriculture is con
ducted, so that agriculture will make
adequate returns to the farmer.
“That problem,’’ - ays Mr. Atkinson,
“is the problem of every one of us,
not the problem of the farmers a- ,
lone. It is the problem of the nation.
■From a selfish standpoint, the nation
has got to solve that problem. Kurm- j
iiig has Rot to be on a remunerative
basis, and I am perfectly sure that
the problem is going to be solve 1
successfully.
“The present is one of the most
critical periods in the history of
Georßia and especially of its agri-!
cultural interests. Georgia Ins been
jjoinJ through an agricultural i evo
lution. You may attribute it to one
cause or ar.o her, say what you
please, and you may give whatever
reason or explanation for it you wish,
but Georgia has had to go through an
agricultural revolution and it is suf
fering now in the agony of the revo
lution. We had to go through with
it—and I am not saying this ii| any
criticism —because everything that
has been done agriculturally for
fifty years or more was economically
unsound and it had to be cleaned up
and wiped out and a fresh 3tart made.
And the reason why you boys are
fortunate is that you are starting out
in the very beginning of the new
epoch, the new future for Georgia
agriculture.”
AN EVIL AND ITS REMEDY
According to a bulletin issued by
the Georgia Association the State of
Georgia is sending annually over
$150,000,000 out of the state for
farm products which can be profi
tably raised by our people.
We pay $61,620,000 for hay, three
fourths of all we use.
We raise one-fourth* of the pork
used. For the imported we pay
$22,700,000.
We produce five-seventbs of our
corn. We buy outside $20,156,702.
We produce only one-tenth of the
butter we use. We send $18,000,-
000 outside for the balance. We
send $18,000,000 outside fpr beef.
For eggs we pay our sister
$8,750,000, four-elevenths of what
we use.
For chickens we send away $6,-
750,000. We rai-evenly $1,250,000.
We thus send out of our state
each year for seven products which
we can economically raise as well as
any state more than the total gross
value of one million bales of cotton.
All seven of these products are
free from danger of boll weevil, San
Jose scale, blight, or any other
foreign invader.
Why do our farmers not see this
and raise these products? Why is
it necessary to urge a change in our
system upon our people?
They lack the vision that can come
only from a broader and deeper train
ing. The twentieth century saw the
liquor traffic outlawed by our nation
because that great organization, The
Woman’s Christian Temperance Un
ion, taught the children in our schools
of the nineteenth century the de
gradation and poverty wrought by
alcohol. We can broaden the vision
of the children of this day through
better educational opportunity for all
the people and the next generation
will see Georgia farms not only
self-supporting but raising a surplus
to sell the world.
The Denmark farmer of today is
an example of intelligent co-operation
and success because, the nation train
ed him well yesterday. We can do
the sama in Georgia. Good rural
schools are our need.— Georgia Edu
cation Journal.
Why do women try to look so
much alike? Thousands of bobbed
heads are as uniform as a row of
cabbage. Women are doing their
best to dress alike. Any group of
women today reminds one of a row
of houses built after the 'tamo plan
and painted the same color. Within
a few years tne women will be as
commonplace as the men.—Dawson

Farm Prosperity Guaranteed
“Farm Prosperitj Guaranteed,” ia
.he title of a little booklet Ralph A.
| Hayne, of the Agricultural Exten
sion Department, International Har
vester Company* written several
years ago and recently reissued. It is
well worth reading. G. A. Cardwell,
Agricultural and Industrial Agent,
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany, who has made a study of agri
cultural conditions in the
a id knows ns much as anyone about
the remedies which have been pro
posed, both in and out of congress,
for improving the financial condi
tion of our farm population, says in
an article on “Farm Prosperity”:
“The writer wishes a copy of this
booklet could be placed in the hands
of every one and 'two money-crop
farmer in this section for frequent
reading. The book is a veritable
fountain of homely farm-knowledge,
end it is replete with,confident state
ments of fact.
In this publication Mr. Hayne!
backs up his bold title with the fol
lowing statement: “We must feed
ot ’•selves and have something to sell |
every week.” He further states: “The
way to be prosperous, farming, is to 1
first grow a year-’round supply of
food for the family; then grow plen
ty of feed for live stock, and have
live stock to eat it; then if possible
have something to sell every week
in k’ic year. This Is Just Good Busi
i ness.
j If we do this we can pay off our
debts; pay cash for supplies and put
I money in the bank.
If we do this hard times can’t put
t us out of business.
The farmer who buys all his living
and the farmer who has something to
sell only once or twice a year will be
hard up and sore about eight years
out of ten.
Mr. Hayne proposes that we make
farming a good busines, and states
this can be done if we will observe
the following rules.
1. Grow our own food. 2. Have
something to sell every week. 3.
Have live stock. 4. Grow a variety
of crops—not too many. 5. Grow
things that we can grow best and
-ell best. 6. Improve our marketing.
In other words “let’s make a fact
ory of our farm, running the year
’round, turning out something to sell
every week.”—Southern Cultivator.
The Right Selection
Voters sometimes* err in treir
judgment of candidates. When this
happens the community suffers. On
the other hand the community gains
when the right man is selected. St.
Lucie county voters chose Wisely
when they gave Hon. A. C. Brown an
overwhelming endorsement for the
office, of county judge.
Judge Brown, a fine type of South
ern gentleman, possesses those sterl
ing qualities of mind and heart, com
bined with a wealth of experience
in his profession, that make him
eminently qualified for his important
office.
Since assuming his duties Judge
Brown has made countless new
friends. He’s the right man for the
place.—Fort Pierce, Fla., News.

| Broadway has been told by its
sporting chroniclers that Ty Cobb,
*hc “Georgia Peach,” manager of the
Detroit Tigers, is the first man in
j baseball to have accumulated a
fortune of over $1,000,000.
