The Macon Telegraph says: Here we have in one Georgia county everything which is needed ho feed the human body luxuriantly, but also the where¬ withal to clothe it decently. These Brooks county farmers have solved the problem of suc¬ cessful agriculture. They h.^ve organized on right lines. They meat regularly once a month, exchange experiences and dis¬ cuss the work for the succeeding months. In cases where it is economical to do so they pool their orders and buy their sup plies in quantities, getting the advantage of cheaper prices and lower freight rates. Where it j s found to be advantageous they pool their marketable products and sell to gether. “ Have by some surgeon Shy lock on thy charge to stop his wounds lest he do bleed to death. ” Peoplo can bleed to death.
