With doubt and dismay you are smit
ten;
You think there’s no chance for
your son?
Why, the best books haven’t been
■written,
The best race hasn't been run,
The test score hasn’t been made yet,
Ths best song hasn’t been sung,
The best tune hasn’t been played yet;
Cheer up, the world is young!
No chance? Why the world is just
eager
For things that you ought'to create.
Its store of true wealth is still
meager,
Its needs are incessant and great,
It yearns for more power and beauty,
More laughter and love and ro
mance,
More loyalty, labor and duty.
No chance —why, there's nothing but
chance!
Fcr the best verse hasn’t been rhymed
yet,
The best house hasn’t been planned,
The highest peak hasn't been climbed
yet, I
The mightiest rivers aren’t spanned.
Don’t worry and fret, faint-hearted,
The chances have just begun,
For the best jots haven’t been started
The best work hasn’t been done.

AMERICUS OFFICE
TOPIC IN ARTICLE
The Southern Telephone News, a
monthly publication for the employees
of the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Co., contains an interesting
mention of the Americus telephone of
fice and its operators in the March is- '
sue.
Pictures include some of the trafllc
force and the operating room of the
local office. The ladies in the picture
are Mrs. Essie Smith, Miss Ruth Suber,
Miss Mabel Callaway, supervisor; Miss
Willie Crabb, Miss Eva Owens, Miss j
Sadie Weeks, Miss Orrie Cloud, Miss
Mary K. Livingston, Miss Winnie C. j
Hill, Mrs. Corrinne Tucker, chief op- ]
erator; Miss Christine Argo, Miss I
Rena Suber.
The following article by Arnold
Weels, district traffic chief, of Albany,
appeared in the March publication:
“In Mr. Brown’s address before the
employees in the Atlanta office who j
had met to receive their service record 1
badges, he mentioned that it was in
Americus, Ga., that he first became
associated with the company.
“It will probably be a source of grat
ification to him to know that out ofi
the thirteen traffic employees at this
office, six w'ere recipients of the tokens
of appreciation of loyal service that
the company at his suggestion, has
given to us. Os these six, two received
ten year pins and the rest received five
year pins.
“The average term of continuous
tService at this office is approximately
five years and three months, which, we
believe, is good when we think that
with our operators we have not only
to offer inducements that must be of
fered male employees in the way of sal
aries and comforts, but bust compete
with that "prepared’’ warrior, Dan
Cupid.
“It Is needless to say that our ser
vice at Americus is service that we are
proud of and we feel always that we
must keep ‘Mr. Brown’s office’ up to the
very highest standard.
“Following is a list of the employees
who received the badges at Americus,
together with their various terms of
continuous service:
“Mrs. Essie Smith, twelve and one
half years; Alice Smith, ten years; Or-

DEVELOPMENFfOR
SOUTH IS GROWING
COLUMBUS, Ga., March 9.—The In
dusrial Index says in its issue for this
week:
“An announcement of importance
industrially in the Southwest is one
that comes from New York to the
effect that a company that has invested
large amounts of money in water
power development in Alabama has
perfected financial arrangements
whereby it will aid financially new
factories that may be located to use
the power. The company will proceed
immediately with additional hydro
electric development<fet a cost of $3,-
0(0,000 this year. It is estimated that
the company’s expenditures in Ala
bama in the next ten years will amount
to approximately $100,000,000.
“Postal receipts give a reliable in
dication of business conditions, and
they made a splendid showing last
month for cities in the Southeast. In
Atlanta, a new high record for Febru
ary was made, and in Miami all rec
ords for any month were broken. In
Birmingham there was a gain of 20 per
cent, as compared with February, 1914,
and a much larger gain as compared
with February of last year. A gain of
more than 30 per cent was made in
Columbus, and the gain at Gadsden,
Ala., was 27 per cent. The list might
be made longer, but this is sufficient to
show haw postal receipts are demon
strating the return of prosperity in
the Southeast.
"A total of forty-three new corpo
rations were formed during the week,
with minimum capital stacks aggre
gating $884,200.
“Among the items of construction
work to be done, as reported this week,
are:

HOW MUCH IS
MADE ON A FARM?
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division College Os Agriculture.
At a recent conference of county
agents in farm demonstration work
held at the College of Agriculture, in
struction was given each agent as to
how to figure profits of a farm. This
information, in turn, is to be imparted
to Georgia farmers. Blank forms for
collecting the necessary data is pro
vided each agent. Os course, it is not
expected that a county agent can at
once become an expert in di patching
this kind of business, but it is the be
ginning of what it is hoped will result
in a business system for every farm
in Georgia.
Without knowing where the leaks
are, farming is a haphazard, if not an
unprofitable, business. Proper account
ing should show every cent of profit
and loss of every crop, or animal, or
any transaction on the farm.
The College of Agriculture, through
its farm management workers, and by
the aid of the county agents, can do a
great deal toward setting farmers upon
the right road to the most profitable
farming. If the Information asked for
is supplied, then they will be able to
figure out where profits are made and
where losses. Farmers in the state
wno are approached for farm manage
ment information ought to welcome
the opportunity to give it, since it will
mean information that will probably
put them in the way of prosecuting
their work along the most profitable
lines.
The Cotton Varieties That
Show The Best Yields
Loy E. Rast, Department Cotton Indus
try, Georgia College of Agriculture.
Twenty-nine varieties of cotton were
planted last year for comparison at.
the plats of the College. The season
was favorable, and the best yield for
several years was secured. The amount
of seed cotton estimated on the basil
of an acre, that each variety produced
is as follows:
College No. 1, 3,119 pounds; Cleve
land Big 8011, 2,968 lbs.; Dixie, 2,964
lbs.; Culpepper’s, 2,941 lbs.; Cald
well’s, 2,940 lbs.; Sunbeam 80, 2,850
lbs.; Williams’, 2,784 lbs.; Brown’s,
No. 2, 2,747 lbs.; Brown’s No. 3, 2,739
lbs.; Trice, 2,709 lbs.; Columbia, 2,701
lbs.; Meadows, 2,698 lbs.; Toole, 2,649
lbs.; Langford’s, 2,646 lbs.; Hooper's,
2,643 lbs.; Texas Bur, 2,626 lbs.; Liv
sey’s Early, 2,584 lbs.; Sunbeam 64,
2,558 lbs; Poulnot, 2,520 lbs.; Willet’s
ideal, 2,502 lbs.; Christopher, 2,463
lbs.; Bown’s No. 1, 2,434 lbs.; Rexall.
2,413 lbs.; Willett’s Perfection, 2,329
lbs.; Modella, 2,311 lbs.; Hite’s Early,
2,303 lbs.; Cook's Improved, 2,275 lbs.;
Bramlett’s, 2,271 lbs.; Long Shank,
2,065 lbs.
For 801 l Weevil Conditions.
Os all of the above only five stand
out prominently as being suited to
boll weevil conditions. Early matur
ing cotton is required. Those five are
College No. 1, Trice, Cleveland Big
8011, Hooper’s and Caldwell's. All of
these made more than a bale of cut
ton per acre during the first two pick
ings, or by the end of five months after
planting, the period generally allotted
for making cotton under boll weevil
conditions. Other varieties that prom
ise well for boll weevil conditions for
the same reasons, are the following,
which come close after the first five
mentioned : Sunbeam, Meadows,
Brown’s No. 2, Bramlett’s Brown No.
3, Langford.

College of Agriculture Experi
ments With Velvet Beans
John R. Fain, Professor Agronomy
Ga. State College Os Agriculture.
The College of Agriculture is seek
ing to determine which varieties of
the velvet bean is best adapted to
Georgia conditions. To this end it is
conducting tests in various parts of
the state. At the present time the
results of only one year's test is avail
able, and these are taken from the
College plats and may be said to indl
cate what varieties are best suited to
the piedmont region, though more than
one year’s results should be looked to
for a determination of the matter.
All of the varieties were planted
May 21. Seventeen were used in the
tests. The pound of seed per acre is
the basis of comparison. Very few of
the varieties proved of any worth on
this basis. The variety known as “Me
dium Early" matured November 5 and
yielded 1,225 pounds of seed per acre.
■Jack Bean" proved the sec
ond best yielder. The seed
are, however, not palatable ’ to
cattle, and are somewhat indigesti
ble. The highest yield was 828 pounds
per acre and from that down to 154
pounds per acre. The ordinary Mexi
can Stock Bean gave 602 pounds per
acre. This bean is palatable, and ma
tured November 1, one of the earliest.
The experiments will be continued
for another year, crops being grown
both in north Georgia and south Geor
gia.
