Georgia Leads The Nation Georgia leads the South and the South leads the nation in the financial come-back of the Geor gia farmer, \ whose gross cash income has increased 46 per cent, which is 8 per cent higher than North Dakota, the second state, and 9 per cent higher than Mississippi, the third high est. These figures are taken from the national crop survey of Howard-Morehouse, Inc., of Chicago, an agricultural statis • tical service. Analyzing the survey, Clark | Booth, of the Atlanta Constitu , tion, says: The Howard-Morehouse people show that Georgia’s crops will S bring 245 million dollars from : July of this year until the same time in 1925, but the agricultural : ' experts of the department of ag riculture several weeks ago went | even better than this—for they estimated that Georgia’s crop would be worth, for the season, $337,000,000, over a hundred • million more than the previous ■ ‘ year. The Howard-Morehou.se ; people, as stated above, figure J Georgia’s increase in farm in come will be 46 per cent. With « the government figures as a basis for the season, the increase will be even greater. One of the most striking things ■ about the Howard-Morehouse re • view, outside of the fact that Georgia leads the nation in crop • income increase, is the fact that of the four states which show i gains of over 30 per cent in farm * cash income, three are in the S South, and one, in the Western & belt. Furthermore of three states which show an increase of from ;; 20 to 30 per cent, two are in ; the South and one in the West, Kapsas. And last, but not least, of the sixteen states which show a decrease, as compared with the previous, twelve are outside the X South. That Georgia is making prog i ress in its financial come-back, most of us knew, but we did not “ realize the lead she is again tak ► ing. i The Georgia Association fig ’■ ures that since 1919 Georgia has increased her annual butter pro duction 4,344 per cent and her cheese production 4,900 per cent. The association lists the creameries and cheese factories ‘ in the state in its monthly publi cation for September, giving the approximate MONTHLY out put in pounds of butter as fol lows: Ashburn Creamery, Ash- * burn 40,000 Cordele Creamery, Cor- S dele 35,000 Fitzgerald Creamery 15,000 Moultrie Creamery 30,000 Statesboro Creamery 4,000 Dalton Creamery 3,000 State College Creamery, Athens 4,000 Gate City Dairy, Atlanta..2B,ooo Belmont Dairy, Atlanta.. 8,000 Columbus Creamery 40,000 Macon Creamery 15,000 Plummer’s Fairy, Macon.. 8,0000 Washington Co.

Carolina Dairy Prod- ucts Co., Augusta ..... 10,000 Hawkinsville Creamery 6,000 Dublin Creamery, Dublin 9,000 Dodge County Creamery, Eastman 8,000 -- Approximate total month ly Output 267,000 The cheese factories listed, with the output in pounds for the YEAR is as follows: Euharlee Cheese Factory, Cartersville 45,000 Five Forks Cheese Fac- tory, Cartersville 20,000 Bush Arbor Cheese Fac- ~ lory, Rome 30,000 Rockniart Cheese Fac- tory 35,000 Lexington Cheese Fac- tory 60,000 L Newton Co., Covington ....50,000 Palalto Cheese Fac- tory, Monticello 50,000 Calvin Cheese Factory, Monticello 50,000 Marks Cheese Factory, Hillsboro 15,000 Total 355,000 When these figures were compiled the Americus Cream ery was not in operation. How ever, that institution is getting along fanrously, turning out 2,000 pounds of butter a week, with prospects of increasing this to 2,500 this week, and a num ber of Sumter farmers have said they are putting in cows this fall. No small part of the increase in Georgia’s cash income for her farmers is due to the creameries and the poultry yards, and no small part of Sumter s financial come- back will be due to the cow, hog and heifer. The day is coming When every Sumter farmer will sell cream, poultry products and hogs and that will mean greater prosperity on ev ery farm. .. . The cash income from these sources will make any intelligent farmer financially independent. With weekly or semi-weekly cream checks and cash from poultry and egg sales, the far mer tided not go so heavily in debt. When he begins to HAVE 'cash and PAY cash he will find how much farther a cash dollar goes as compared with credit. I he farther wants to know if cows pay and the best way to answer that’question is by citing what other farmers have done. Sometimes there is a vast dif ference between theory and practice. / What one farm has accom plished is told by H. J. Prance, county agent for Worth, who tells the following interesting story of ' jw the cream checks from 40 cows have paid all op erating costs of a ten-horse farm: “The farm of Hall & Bate man operated by J. D. Hall and H. W. Bateman, was a typical South Georgia farm a year ago with its ups and downs,, crop failures and boll weevil. They decided to try ..the cow-hog-hen plan and have gotten the cow and hog part of the program going. In short, this is what has been done this year: They have had six wage hands employed to handle the farm of between 500 and 600 acres, planted mostly to corn and beans and feed stuff for the cows and hogs. They are milking 40 cows. The cream checks have paid all Expenses of operation of the farm except the fertilizer bill. This will prob ably be paid from tfae cream checks before it is due in the fall. Cotton seed meal has been bought for the cows and paid for from cream checks. Repair and upkeep of tools and imple ments, wages of al] hired help, which includes practically all work done on the farm has been paid for in this way. “Mr. Hall is so well pleased with the results he has been get ting that he is fully sold on the plan. “Mr. Hall states he hopes to market probably two cars of hogs fed out oh feed produced on the farm. Some of these will be bought as feeder pigs, this season as he hasn’t the hogs to consume the feed he has now raised.” This story told by Mr. Prance is only one of many that are being published every day. The experience of Hall and Bateman is the experience of hundreds and hundreds of Georgia farm ers who are trying the newer plan of farming and what it has done for them it will do for others. More cows, more chicks, more hogs in Sumter and there will be less indebtedness, less unhappiness, fewer mortgages. 00000000000000 o CUT-OFF NEWS o o PERSONALS o 00000000000000 Rev. A. G.

Oct. 16 1914.) The wedding of Mis Ruby Tim merman and Mr. Mettauer Davii/ r. of Macon was a beautiful event of last evening taking place at the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Timmerman. Mrs. Edmund Oliver and Mrs. 1 avid Jennings of Plains were guests of Mrs. Gordon Heys while spending the day in Americus. The many Americus friends of Ice Allen, Jr. are gratified at his appointment to the vacancy at West Point Millitary Academy. The ap pointment was made a day or two since by Prisident Wilson and awaits early confirmation by the Senate, along with other appointments of y oung ment to West Point an 1 An napolis. The third destructive gin house fire near Americus this season oc curred Friday mornig and swept away the large plant of the J. L. Chambliss plantation, east of the city. Thirty-two bales of cotton packed and ready for market were entirely destroyed while probably a dozen or twenty others were saved. Mr. Will Chambliss had brought twenty bales to Americus the day previous, or else these might havo gone up in smoke as weil. The formal announcement yester day of Mr. L. G. Council as a can didate for mayor of Americus has given impetus to the efforts of Ins many friends who arc now working enthusiastically in his behalf. twenty years ago today Monday, no paper published, THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder.

(By The A. P.) —The largest still ip the history of the State Law En forcement Deaprtment’s activities was upearthed recently in Lee coun ty, Alabama, according to Chief Walter K. McAdory, of the Prohibi tion officers. “This mammoth sti'l,” said Chief McAdory, “was of 3,500 capacity.” The previous record for size of a still, according to records of the de partment, was held by a 3,200 gal lon still which was captured in Gum arabic is an excellent stif fening agent for linen. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ’ when things that are shown, can please you they’re not overruled. We grownups just like to forge that we’re grown—it’s a fact that i f.e like to be fooled. That ruling applies, it is best we add, except where our long lign.eracks. For instance, it i never can make us feel glad, when | there’s fruit on the table—of wax. office, where he has held a position for a year or more. Mr. Hansfcrd has been spending his months vaca tion at his home here and returns greatly benefited by his short rest. Mr. Ike Castleberry, an aged resi dent of Sumter was delivering popu listic oration to a dozen of his friends on Lamar street yesterday when a fakir “touched” him for his chronometer. At last report tne watch was still missing. Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick left this morning to attend a session of the governing board of the Woman’s Press Club of Georgia, which meets at the Kimball house at 3 p. m. to day. Mr and Mrs. Thomas Bell left yes terday for Fort Gains where Mr. Bell will be engaged in the cotton business for the season. The pretty new homes of Messrs. G. M. Eldridge and S. S. Shipps, the former on Taylor and the other on College streets, are nearing com pletion. They will be among the handsomest in Americus. Mrs .Sarah Walters, the aged mother of Mr. J. W. Walters, is seventy-six years of age, and nearly all of her long and useful life has been spent at her home in Sumter county. raiAlbert Appki DEAD-HAND Celebrated Stephen Girard, Phi ladelphia banker, died 93 years ago. He left his fortune, about five n. - '.- lion dollars, so income from it woaia be used only for taking care ; f or phan bdys. And he limited the num ber of Orphans to’ 1600. The' original five millions have grown now to 60 millions or more. No way of spending the surplus money, so it piles up. Girard would say: “Don’t be foolish. Forget my error. Take more than 1600 boys.” Why cannot the law be sensible in stead of a stickle for petty detail and technicality no matter how ridi culous? Any law that op-wTei foolishly de; f i ves the scrap-heap. « » « I ORGANIZED i. . .. u hing is getting - organized. A' :eng others, we read of a con vention National Association of Piano Tuners. Average person would never dream of such an out fit. Organization is the craze— trades, professions, politics, creeds, sects, for, against, opposed to, back ing. .... .Oh, well, when the move ment runs its natural course, every thing will be so highly organized that a deadlock will reus’!’.'. A bit of disorgar.iz iL ’.i —rvlum to individuality, away from mob movement— is needed. It’ll be the inevitable reaction from specializa tion and organization. « * * TREES This surprised us: More timber is used for fuel than fa - , lumber. So claims U. S. for-.., rv service. Still, many a campfire overnight burns up enough ceda" to cost SI,OOO when transformeo into cedar chests. Nothing is reallv valuable until delivered to where it is needed. Transportation is the king-pen of all economic problems. « ♦ ♦ START \ Karl Pearson, celebrated scien tist, shatters the notion that child ren grow stronger with age. His studies convince him that “on the average the health of the ch.ld of four will not be sensib'y mod tied as he grows older.” i Thos first four .years are the most important for health. Espe cially the first, babyhood. ♦ • » BARBARIC Children, especially girls, still are sold for money in the interior cf China, reports the American Church Mission in Nankking. One little slant-eyed Jad was soi l for $6 to pay a tavern bill. This appears barbaric to the Am erican nation—which still sells many of its children into industrial slav ery, child labor. * • • CHANGED John Hancock said: “Security to the persons and property .of the gov erned ... is the end of civil govern ment.” John Adams added: “The security of right and property is the great end of the government.” Government used to exist for the people. Now the people ex st for the government, according to prac tices of some leading politicians and public lunatics. OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern ldzhu iA I'/diHi I SAY M’LAOS— /XH - TH’ ONLY/TIME.
