f§ Farnqers Union By § P> * * * Prof J. M. DAVIS £3 | Department GI.KNWOOD, oa. ©©©© ©/©; :©'©;©'©i©!©; © ; The Usual Scramble For places for another year is now on in many localities. If the energy unod up by this annual “scramble” was only turned in proper channels it would indeed bo the hnrnessiug of a mighty power that would prove a blessing to both landlords and tenants throughout our country. Not only does this annual mov ing result in considerable loss of time but it results in considerable loss otherwise. But few if any ever move everything. There is usually a pig trough or two, a pair of plow handles, u load of shuckr or something which would be real ly of some value to you if you re mained ut the same pluce that, is left. Now here is where some of the loss comes in. Then it is said “a rolling stone gathers no moss.” No man mov ing every year can possibly accu mulate very much us long as he does move, for property of any description will be in his way.The moving spirit is quite siiro to con tract the desire therefore to accu mulate property. Changing the environment of children too frequently is detri mental to theis highest, interest. It siudi great numbers of men who have no fixed habitation be come moral weaklings, being un able to subject themselves to a emitinuully changing of their as sociates and of their environment what may wo expect of children ? Humming up the matter there fore we must say we nro highly in favor of a longer tenancy term than at present attains. Sum inons all of your energy and de termination, hack your ears and Jet 's begin to raise a howl that shall he heard beyond the borders of our state against this tuuiunl breaking up that is doing so much against the progress and well-be ing of a great percent, of the real wealth producers of our country. The Prospect For a Hay Crop Becomes more promising with each shower of rain. There is money in u good crop of hay. Your mower and rake should he put in thorough working condition ami what you lack on the cotton crop n geod tiny crop w ill help round up. Plenty of good hay is indis pensable and can be very easily supplied on any of our South Georgia farms. Good crab grass hay is a valuable feed for mules and horses during the winter moiltns while they are standing idle most of the time. Mom hay and less grain would tie appreci ated, in fact, by both our patient friends and our farmers. The 81-Prodscls On our farms are not paid • nough attention to by our farm ers. In fact, but few give any very strict attention to the matter of saving the bi-products. The droppings from the stock and cat tle, although abundantly rich in fertilizing properties, and the many tons of fine hay that might be saved and utilized in making more of such fertilizer under w ise management on every farm is well nigh a total loss. Many a manu facturing plant has been able to run and make a considerable prof it for its stockholders by just sim ply saving the profTt derived from the bi-products alone above the running expenses. Saving the bi products on our farms would ma terially affect the savings and profits of our farmers, too, in a way that would bring the smile of contentment to the face of many a discouraged and disheartened farmer who is a memlier of tin well-known firm of Hard Times & Co., operating an unpaying bus iness in the Carelessness Building on Thoughtlessness Street, in the city of Lack-of-Enterpnse. The Opening ol the High Schools Suggests a very important ques tion just now, and that is this : What per cent, of the hoys and girls w ho are the sons and daught ers of farmers have made arrange ments to attend a high school the present term ? Os course the per | cent, is small. Isn’t it possible for just a few more from every | section to attend ?_ Our common schools stand nearest the farmers and happen to be the most important for them since there cannot be any higher education without them but they ; lack a great deal of being all the schools the farmers need for their children. When the common | school course has boon completed there is another course of study ahead for your children that is j not lacking in any respect in im portance. The more we educate our children the more will farm ing become attractive and profit aide. Home liuve an idea that if a child gets a smattering of an edu cation Unit's all lie needs till he is put to work and rnnd • to help pay for his “raising Now that’s pretty poor logic, besides being a downright shame. Whoever heard of a Georgia boy paying for his “raising” while he is being held np and relieved of the best part of his “raising” without being shamefully treated? 'I hat. part |of hia “raising” he never gets is usually the best purt. and in order for lum to have gotten this lie I must he sent to school. Brother farmer, mark this: Your sons and daiigldi is should he given the very same educational advantages that, are given the sons and daughters of the banker and the merchant. Give your boys and girls proper educutumal ad vantages and they will be heard from. The Habltuil Borrower Is a kind of a nuisance. Home mou seem to delight in borrowing. They an* the hardest of all men usually to take a hint. Refuse one of this type, and tell him where such and such article may lie found for sale at a reasonable price, and you are wasting time. Os course it is a pleasure for one neighbor to befriend another who proves himself worthy of a favor. But we are speaking of that class of borrowers who if rightly classified would be put with beggars. I'hey some how are always just out of the article needed at any certain time and | run to the nearest neighbor to borrow it, matters not whether it is a few pins, a wheelbarrow, a ! buggy, a wagon, a piece of soap, ior a “few pounds of meat,” and continue to ride and beg till the desired article is handed out. Without in the least discourag ing a genuine neighborly spirit of helpfulness and accommodation among pimple of the same com munity any section burdened by this element of beegar-borrowers would do a real good deed if j>er • chance instead of always gratify ing them they were taught some thing about the elementary prin ciples ot genteel self-sacrificer W hal Do You Staml For ? Mr. Union Man, what are you doing to make your community a more desirable place in which for i you to live w ith your family? Are you exerting an influence in favor of a better school? Are you trv : ing to advance the moral and re ligious interests of the neighbor hood? Are you encouraging crime and lawlessness or do you frown [down upon these with an uncom promising determination to rid your neighborhood of the possi bility of having the baser and wicked elements bring shame and ruin to your community ? These and other such questions are of vital interest to the well-being of yourself your family and your I community. Mark this: A Un ion man should be somebody and should stand for something that will make his community and the ’ world better and it‘s a down-right shame if he doesn’t. THF, MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 17. lOOH CAME NEAR BEING SERIOUS. While running a chicken a few days ago the little son of Mr. Henry Bennett who lives neur town came near meeting Ins death i in a very peculiar way. It seems that the boy was being assisted in the chuse after the chicken, and his reaching the fowl first reached down to pick it up, and just at this time the little sister reached for it, and in some way the chil dren’s heads came in contact with such force us to render the little fellow unconscious, and for sever al hours the family were very un euny about results. Dr. Hunt was hurriedly sum moned, and in a short while after his arrival the little sufferer was resting quietly, and is now about all right uguin. Glen wood, No. 1. Special Correapondenoe.
