GEORGIA BANKS ARE SHOWING US THE WAY OUT. The hanks are leading the way. From the borders of the Caro lines to .the Land of Ponce Do Leon, Georgia banks are sounding the call for more cows, more hogs more hens. Cheap, inefficient labor and cot ton has paupperized Georgia. While other states are going for worn! we iafc. We have thought on ly in terms of ALL COTTON, in stead ol making eottovi a surplus crop. The bankers of tho state have realized this for years. They are more closely associated with the financial status of the farmer than others. That a chwnge in ab solutely essential is the opinion of wide-awake bankers. In Sunday’s Constitution, in '< raid advertisement the Atlanta National Bank says; “A farmer living in one of the northen dairying states owns a pure bred cow that holds the. production record in the testing association of the coun ty in which her owner lives. In the past year THIS ONE COW *AVt. HER OWNER \ NS! TOTAL INCOME OF TWO HUNDRED TEN DOLLARS and SIXTY-FOUR CENTS. ‘‘5210.64 from one cow!— Net. With cotton selling at 25c per pound and costing 20c to produce. $5210.64 is more that! the equivalent of the pprofit on EIGHT ACRES OR COTTON yielding A BALE PER ACRE, or SIXTEEN ACRES yielding a HALF BALE per acre. “This is just one instance of hundreds in states where* the live stock and dairying interests have received the serious atten tion of far-sighted business men _ “ Years ago the Atlanta Na tional Bank realized the danger ifo the South from the one-cron svstem. It was, perhaps. THE FIRST BANK IN THE SOUTH to use newspaper space in the effort to make business men see the neeessitv of encourao 1 - ' iner DIVERSIFIED FARMING AND THE LIVE STOCK IN . DUSTRY.” From one of the largest of our /financial institutions, we find the above. However, it is the smaller banks of the state, particularly in South Georgia, that we see more . along this same line. In a paid advertisement in the Richland Newy, The Richland State Bank, using large space says; ‘‘The'‘Cow, Hog and Hen—ls you are interested in these steps toward success and are willing to put your personal in - terest behind these things, we are willing .and anxious to help .. you get started. “The cow*, hog and hen now seem to be the solution of the financial needs of our people. And what is best for our people, "* we want to sustain and support _ to the extent of our ability.” £ buniter tius led tiie btate in ita « community hog sales plan. Sui;i *ttr people are above the average '"-in intelligence and ambitiofi. Suni sf ter’s banks are strong and wisely M managed and her bankers have the interests of the people at heat,. ■ What we nave done with the hog can be done with the, hen and cow. ' Sumter is peculiarly fortunate “in having one of, the most pro gressive and energetic county de imonstrations agents in the state, Mr. George Marshall. Sumter begins to think and pla nin terms of hogs, hens and cowst instead of ALL-COT - TON, then Sumter . will arise from its thraldom of debt and j despair. Cotton is a staple and as such —w© -can reap wealth provided it- is made as surplus and not as ouc only source of liojje and income. I KILL THE WEEVIL BEFORE HE KILLS YOU. The first of the community meetings held to persaude the farmers to plow up and plow un under cotton stalks was held Mon day night at Plains. For ten days Americus mer chants and bankers have been spreading the appeal to the far mers to act now. All of South Georgia is* to fight the weevil this month. Every ef fort is being made to persuade the farmer that now is the time to be gin next year’s crop. farmer can hit the boll weevil 20 times as hard now ns will be possible next spring,” says the Albany Herald. ‘/Getting rid of cotton stalks before the middle of October comes pretty close to getting rid of adult weevils.” All over South Georgia, the I banks in paid advertisements are advising the farmers to plow up stalks. In a large paid advertise ment in the Quitman Free Press last week The Bank of Quitman had this to say: “DESTROY THE COTTON STALKS “Those who intend to plant cotton next season, should take immediate steps to have the old stalks destroyed jujst as soon as possible. Turn them under, or plow up and burn them. If all the cotton stalks in this Coun ty could be destroyed by Octo ber 15th, we would have less than one-half the weevils to poison next Spring. EEven if you do not intend planting cotv. ton year, out of considera- tion for your neighbor, destroy the old stalks early.” The banker is the most conser vative individual his communi ty. He KNOWS before he AD VISES. He is speaking and it} be hooves every farmer to listen and act. The prosperity of the farmer, the community and the state is at stake. Destroy all cotton stalks now—as rapidly as possible. EDITORIAL COMMENT TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE It would ze difficult to crowd into a paragraph more truth and common sense with reference to present methods of farming in South Georgia than aue con tained in the following from the Worth County Local: “Most o£ the corn meal now being used, by the people of Worth county is shipped in from the West, a thousand mile s away. All the meat being sold in the stores of the county comes from the same direction. And yet many farmers of Worth county threat en to quit because the job does n’t pay. Os course it doesn’t pay to farm in the way we tried it this year. It never has paid and never will. We planted big cot ton crops bemore the boll weevil came and we lived in dire pover ty then. We will continue to do so as long as we fail to grow our food stuffs at home.”—Al bany Herald. . WAY SUUMTER COUUNTY MAKES COTTON. The County Farm Demonstra tion Agent 411 Sumter county, George O. Marshall, is campaign ing in the interest oi early ues truction of cotton stalks. Sum ter produced more cotton this year than all but a few coun ties in this section—possibly more than any other county. It will certainly be well up in the list for the entire state when the final figures for the year are in. And one very im portant reason why Sumter has made a cotton crop much bet ter than the average this year is that the farmers got rid of their cotton stalks early last year. And the good work must be kept up, the County Agent warns. He is reminding the far mers that poisoning and earry stalk destruction are the (two methods which together prove most effective in boll weevil control. And it may be added that many authorities consider destroying (the stalks of greater value than poisoning. “Don’t wait for frost to hit the cotton fields, warns the Sumter County Agent. “The time to save next year’s cotton crop is now.’ Albany Herald. DO WOMEN READ EDITORIAL “Do women read editorials ” inquries a headline. They do. Women read a great deal more than men, and they remember what they read. Observing newspaper men found this out some time ago. To the fact that - women read may be credited their rise in influence and inde pendent thinking The newspaper or politician who ignores' the woman reader will find out the mistake.—/Tifton Gazette. ———— ——— I I Copyright ’ 1923 > Dililv Pnom By N.

Americus mercaqtjle interests feel to an extent the effect of de clining values in the cotton mar ket tliis week, the net loss beinj* $3 to $4 per bale from the top notch range of hales last week. With warehouse receipts of 400 to 500 bales per day, the loss, it will be seen, in ' considerable in the aggregate. Still, 13 cents is a mighty good price for cotton, and the old staple still continues to seH at about that figure.

BEAUTY Eva Tanguay says: “After hav ing been on the stage since .1 was two years old, I couldn’t help hav ing wrinkles and sagging muscles. First I had six finches taken from my neck, and I had an incision to lift the muscles of my face. My eyebrows came next. All this took about four weeks. The most pain ful thing was having my face ironed—that means putting car bolic acid and odl on the skin to form blisters, wwhieh are then removed to leave the new skin un derneath.” This vertifies the old saying that beauty is only skin deem But the knowledge, that beautv has tricks up its sleeve such as Eva describes, is enough to make s bachelor take the next boat for a desert isle. * * * EASY The first water-power grist mill in America was the one at Scituate Mass., built in 1640. It’s the mill described in “The Old Oaken Bucket.’ Recently it has been re stored by an historical society, so that it’s the same as when pioneers hauled their grain or carried it on their backs to the mill, to get it ground to flour. Today we phone the grocer and the delivery hoy brings the flour. Tn this and many other ways we live a soft and easy existence, compared with the pioneers. That’s whv we have more illness, esno '■iallv colds, indigestion and lazy ,: vers. * * * • $$ $ $ The dollar is worth only 65 cents now, compared with its buy ing power in 1913. This is tho government estimate. Rather discouraging situation to anyone preaching thrift, the fact that 35 cents of each dollar sav ed in 1913 has vanished. It works another way. The 65 cents saved now may he worth $1 of buying power later on. That’ll depend on long-range trend of prices. * * * ‘ ./Jy.
