THE FOURTEEN
POINTS OF AGRICULTURE
Here’s something new for the
judiciary—
A judge on the bench, instead of
discussing crime and punishment
in his charge to the grand jury,
devotes his time to “agriculture,
immorality and short-time loans."
‘■Lam tired of talking about
pistol toters. bootleggers and
petty thieves." says Judge R. I
Eve, .of Tifton, to the grand jury, 1
oE the Turner County Superior I
Court, a few days ago, as reported
in the state papers. “The jupy
knows the dangers of these of
fenses,” the jurist continues, “and
I am going to plunge headlong into
a discussion of agriculture.”
The judge declared that the im
portant “things of life just at this
time were “agriculture, immoral
ity and the flotation of short time
small loans,’’ and continued:
“Certain it is that farming is
our basic industry. By farming
I include, of course, the related
industries, live stock raising,
dairying, truck gardening and
poultry raising.
“California has her mines of
gold and her ports opening to the
great sea; Pennsylvania has her
vast deposits of coal and the
smoke of her furnaces darkens
the sky; New York has her great
financial institutions and her
seaport through which moves a
great part of the commerce of
the continent; Florida has her
phosphate rock, her mullet fish
and her touisrts, but with South
Georgia it is farm or famish.
“If you aro not concerned,
and deenly concerned in every
thing which promotes, develops
and makes more prosperous ag
riculture, move. If you are not
rallying to the support of our
Experiment Stations, our Agri
cultural-Schools and Colleges;
our Farm Demonstration arid
Colleges; our Farm Demonstra
tion arid Home Economies Work,
then you are failing to perform
your duty as a citizen. Failing to
take advantage of the one great
privileged a human life, the
privilege-of serving present times
and future generations.
“We may or may not ultimate
ly build a great civilization in
this section; if so, it’s founda
tion will be deeply laid in the
success- and prosperity o>f agri
culture- tFhd its allied industries,"
—“all else is sinking sand,’’ so
far as we are concerned. I am, of
course, speaking primarily of
material civilization; on world
ly things. It is possible to ac
complish much in the things of
the mind, heart or soul without
any great degree of financial
success; but it seems to me that
worldly prosperity and financial
achievement should not hinder,
but, should promote the march
of mankind toward the one great
taring, the building of human
character; the uplifting of the
spiritual in humankind.
“I have great respect for the
ability that comes through prac
tical' experience; I favor the
“dirt” rather than the “desk”
farmer; but it is a mistake tor
either to reach the conclusion
that the other cannot tell him
anything worth while. I approve
the “Dickens schoolmaster plan;”
he taught the pupil to spell
“horse” and then sent him to
water, feed and curry the ani
mal. There is no reason why
•ne should not be a whole lot of
“dirt” farmer and somewhat of
a desk” farmer, too.
“Don’t get the idea because you
read a few books on agriculture
and an 'occasional copy of the
Country Gentleman that you
arer solely prepaned to counsel
the, farmer or take over the
fartn. It is just as unwise to
form the opinion that you know
. it all because you were raised
between the corn rows or the
plow handles.
Possibly you mentally chal
lenge my right to discuss the
subject before us, and feel that
I speak as a scribe or pharisee 1
and not as one in authority. I
have read much, thought a little
an<f worked quite a bit. I bought
land in the woods, cleared and
stumped it. In an effort to
learn what it was really worth
to take out stumps, I personally
wielded an occasional shovel,
mattock and axe. I reached the
conclusion that no landowner
can' have landjAtumped and pros
per, financially; that is if he
pays full value for services rend
ered; the stumper will soon get
the farm. But seriously the
stumps should ebme out as fast
as possible, regardless of cost;
it’s best. No man can plow in,
around and over them and pros
per financially or make any
headway religiously.
“We learned among other
things that there is no easy way
to get rid of stumps. We burned,
we dug and cut, we dynamited,
and ;we pulled and rising to cy
.4 nicism If not to the wisdom of
the ■( wise man of old we said
‘Vanity, All is Vanity Getting
rid.of stumps is like raising chil
dren, lifting mortgages, and
shaving with a dull razor. ‘There
ainft no easy way.’
‘*6o oft repeated that it is
broniidic, but nevertheless true,
the first rule of success is ‘Buy
nothing that can be raised on
your farm.’ Raise it even
though it can be bought for a
few cents less. We will never
be able to compete with the
west in the growing of corn and
small gnrtn for the market, but
it is best that our farm
ers raise all they use.
“Do not abandon cotton, but
keep down the acreage. Study
the boll weevil situation and re
sort' to every known common
sense method of fighting pests.
“Build enough cribs; raise
plenty of corn and protect it
from the ravages of the corn
weevil. Do not hope to ship any
of this to Kansas and make a
profit on it. The plan won’t
work. The chances are, however,
some of your neighbors may be
willing about March or April,
to pay you a fancy price for your
surplus. Don’t be afraid to give
your mule, your hog or your
cow a nubbin now and then; it
pays. Don’t ‘blow up’ if the
chickens and turkeys eat a few
grains: they will repay it four
fold. Raise just a plenty for
your family, your live stock,
your fowls, your neighbors and
the weevils, too, if you are too
tender-hearted or considerate of
the Lord’s handiwork to kill
them.
Try a few acres of tobacco
after learning something about
its culture and the needs of the
market. Stick, stick and study.
Success will, reward you; it has
others. Surely in this line of in
dustry the rewards go to the dili
gent, patient and intelligent. -
Raise the grade and buyers will
raise the price. If you do not
raise all the oats, velvet beans,
hay and other food stuff, that
your live stock can possibly con
sume during the entire year, and
this includes two to six good
milk cows—why, just let the
Long Loan take your place and
go at something else. Possibly
you will be able to achieve fame
and fortune playing poker, op
erating a coal mine, running a
dance hall, saw milling or teach
ing agriculture, but you are no
farmer and the sooner you find
it out the better it will be for
you and your creditors. Put ’em
out of their misery as quickly as
"possible.
“Try'.i few melons occasion
ally; some early; some late,
Community co-operation is fine
on this crop; they have paid
well at times; don’t put all of
your eggs in one basket; put a
few in your pockets.
“Peanuts, cane, sweet pota
toes, cabbage, turnips—if these
are not raised on your farm in
abundance ask some of the
neighbors what you are living
in the country for. Peanuts,
cane and sweet potatoes are the
old reliables, and should be rais
ed in abundance. The present
prlee is only fair, but better than
for most other things.
“I have had no opportunity to
try out the sour cream proposi
tion, but if I make another pass
at farming j am going to do
this if 1 have to feed my herd
of cows on hand-picked and de
natured pine’straw. I, am hftnest
in the opinion that there is more
promise in this department of
the farming “grync” than arty
thing being offered. It wBl
bring the needful flow of small
change and keep you out of
debt; it will furnish a home
market for all your surplus feed
stuff and ;.t a good figure;
about 75 per cent of the value
of the feed raised on the prem
ises will go back to the land in
the form of stable manure, the
best and most lasting of all fer
tilizers. But don’t overlook the
velvet bean crop—it is one of
the fingers, pointing the way to
economic freedom.
“The chances are that your
wife will not let you forget the
poultry and the garden. Gardens
will not thrive if raised with
chickens. Keep them in different
pens There is always a ready
sale for poultry and eggs and at
a good price. If the market
becomes glutted, hold until the
next Methodist conference.
“If you have been as affec
tionate as you should have been
during the course of your mar
ried life there will be no difficul
ty in borrowing V ill the poultry
money from your wi/e, on long
time and without interest. This
plan I have found to be entirely
satisfactory— to the borrower,
more so in some respects than
that provided by the Farm Loan
Board or the War Finance Cor
poration. Tobacco, snuff, shine
or face powder or other neces
saries may be brought very nice
ly out of tho chicken money.
The good garden is a regular
‘Scare-Sheriff’ and ‘Anti-Law
suit.’
“The humble hog will rescue
you from financial peril if you
will give him the consideration
and the kind treatment which
his merits entitle him to. Do not
try to furnish all of the packing
houses yourself; have some con
sideration for your neighbor and
do not glut the market ahead of
him. Let him raise a few. Start
with a small number of a good
breed §nd increase as you learn
the ins and outs of the business;
this means you will travel slow
ly. If I were a man of long ex
perience on the farm and one
who made or tried to make my
living on the land, I would just

a bright party of young friends at
the Hotel Windsor, complimentary
to her niece, Miss Emma Lee of

At her hospitable home, a few
miles in the country, Mrs. Barlow
Council entertained her friends last,
evening. The occasion was quite
an affair, and the participants en
joyed the pleasant occasion very
much Mrs. Council, as a hostess

sions are always a source of
pleasure.
Miss Lucile Clegg is expected

ram will be rendered. Song, Pray

and they will deal fairly with
you. A fartn without a good
pasture is a gilt-edged invitar
tion to bankruptcy. Contrary to
common opinion a pasture should
contain a few blades of grass
in addition to its crawfish beds
and trumpet flowers. Get you a
stand of Lespedza, Carpet grass
or plain old Bermuda and the
Lord will reward your efforts.
“From my own experience—
from an observance of the ex
perience of others and from a
long and careful study of farm
speeches and farm papers I have
reached the conclusion that
there are some few absolute es
sentials to the winning of success
as a farmer. For the sake of
neatness and regularity and in
order that • they may always be
accessible to those turning to
wards the farm 1 have compiled
these essentials under the title
of ‘MY FOURTEEN POINTS IN
AGRICULTURE.’ I will read—
“l. Jt is best to have had some
experience as a plowbo£; this to
toUghten the sinews', bring one
close, to the 'soil, and develop
habits of industry, humility and
indifference to hardship.
“2. He must be a chemist, in
order that the soil may be prop
erly analyzed and fertilizers cor
rectly compounded and scienti
fically applied.
"He should be a civil engi
neer or at least a grapevine sur
veyor in order that terraces may
be correctly placed, land lines
correctly run, and ditches open
ed in a proper manner to get the
best results.
“4. He should be a theoreti
cal as well as practical veterin
arian in order that the health of
his live stock may be safe
guarded and protected and that
his domestic animals may receive
such surgical treatment as is nec
essary from time to time.
“5. He must be theoretical as
well as practical poultry man.
“6. He should be something of
a gardener.
“7. It is well that he should
be an agronomist or seed expert
in order that the important mat
ter of seed selection and plant
development may be taken care
of.
“8. He should be a weather
prophet in order that fit and
suitable seasons for planting and
harvesting may be forecasted,
and the vital matter of hog-kill
ing properly taken care of.
“9. He should be a dairyman
in order that his pigs, his chil
dren and his friends in the city
should not want for food, and
for the reason that through the
exercise of this occupation or
calling he will be able to develop
very necessary habits of late re
tiring and early rising.
“10. Ke should be an entomo
l logist or a bugologist of the
highest type in order that he
may successfully combat the
boll weevil, the corn-A’eevil, the
San Jose scale, the wheat clinch,
, the chicken louse, the Hessian
i fly, the potato bug and probably
I the plain or garden variety of
home chinch. •
“11. He should be a mechanic,
able to do plain and fancy
blacksmithing, carpentry or
wood-work.
“12. He should be an all
round rough and tumble finan
cier; an instructor in home eco
nomics and plain variety of farm
demonstrator.
“13. He must be a highway
diplomat, able to bring to
a naturally extravagant family
in industry, economy and frugal
ity.
“14. It is not amiss if he have
a working knowledge of the
homestead and stay laws of
Georgia in order that the inter
ests of creditors may not be
overlooked in an emergency.”

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(From the Times-Recorder. Sep
tember 8, 1893).
Farmers of Sumter and sur
rounding counties need have no
fear of not getting the spot cash
for their cotton in Americus, as
the bank certificates has the ef
fect of procuring all the money
needed and so far as handling the
cotton that comes here is concern
ed a prominent banker said last
night that there was not the least
trouble and would not be.
One more week of vacation and
the 1,600 pupils who attend the
Americus public schools will go
back to their books again. The
fall term Opens Monday week, 18th
inst, and it is believed that the at
tendance in all the grades will be
fully up to the average. Prof. J.
E. Mathis, principal of the high
school, returned last night from an
extended trip north and will be
ready to take up the reins again at
the opening of the session.
Cotton receipts, owing to the
bad weather, were comparativqly
light yesterday. Prices remained
firm" at 7 1-4 cents for good mid
dling and sales were numerous at
that figure. Warehousemen ex
pect a deluge of the big brown
bales today and tomorrow.
George D. Wheatley, the big
cotton avenue merchant, attended
the colt %how yesterday, for he is
always interested in the prosperity
of the farmers, but he left a few
clerks to show their customers
some of those S3O dresses which
are now taking the town by storm.

Touring America in an auto, R.
C. Bruce and wife of Los Angeles,
have covered 35,00(1 miles in 13
months. *
That’s more ground than Alex
ander the Great was able to cover
in his whole lifetime. And there
wasn’t as much to see in his day.
Mechanical invention enables the
plain people of 1923 A. D. to see
more of the earth and enjoy more’’

ago. t ■'

After touring 35,000 miles in. his
auto, R. C. Bruce says: “The thing
which has impressed me most on
this wonderful trip is the security
of life and property we have found
everywhere. We have seen no vio
lence, we have met with no per
sonal disagreeable experiences. We
haven’t had so much as a tent-peg
stolen from us, and we have met
no extortion.”
That’s a picture of Real America
that is rarely held up to view. But
it’s the true pictrue.
Gold
The quest for gold recognizes no
barriers. Dr. Thewlis, writing in
American Medicine magazine, tells
of one of his patients, a refiner,
who had been repeatedly buying
gold from a stranger. Finally he
asked wherd the gold came from.
The stranger confessed that he was
manager of a crematory and that
he sifted the ashes of the dead,
recovering the gold from theii
teeth.
Changing
The bottom of th): Atlantic
ocean, 800 miles from the south
ern tip of Africa, slowly bulges up
to make a mountain two miles high
under the sea.
This upheaval is gigantic to us,
but it’s mild compared with the
huge size of the earth. It might
very easily have taken place on
land instead of beneath the waves, 1
and given a large section of our
country a terrific shaking. We live
in uncertainty, figuratively on thin
ice; But we plot and plan as if
nothing could teach us and we
were here on earth for all eternity
1 instead of only a few more years.

i Europe has two million fewer
I soldiers in service now than in
1913, but it still has nearly four
i million under arms, according to
| estimates by military experts.
If these troops were home work
ing in field and factory, instead of
idle and non-productive in uniform,
Europe would gain nearly four biL
lion dollars a year by the produc
tion. That’s figuring their labor at
only $3 a day apiece. Four bil
lion dollars a year would pull Eu
rope out of the hole by 1930 or
before. ‘ ,
Wireless
Five hundred years from now,
man will do most of his work by
wireless, predicts Professor David
A. Low, the English scientist. He
paints to dismal picture of man en
slaved by radio.
It’s more probable that radio will
have become osbolete and forgotten
by the year 2423. Something
greater will take its place, of a
nature as yet beyond the imagina
tion. Very few inventions have a
life of 500 years. The few in
clude the knife, fork, spoon, ax,
shovel and maspn’s trowel.
