Montgomery county farmers
have gone on record as opposing
penalizing cotton planting.
Appling, Tattnall and other
South Georgia counties are doing
the proper thing in the way of;
county fairs. Nothing can teach
our people right methods of
farming and living like the direct
object lessons of these county
fairs.
Brooks county, one of the most
progressive in the state, is reach
ing out after Belgian farmers.
Considering the price of meat up
this way, we are forced to the
conclusion that we need Belgian
hares far more than Belgian far
mers.
The corn club boys have done
more for the South this year than
congress, and more than the leg
iMature of Georgia could do if
called in extra session. They
have given us the first great
lesson in making the South self
sustaining.
When you insure your home
that is protection against loss by
lire. When you make all the
home supplies possible to pro
duce on your land, and make cot
ton a clean profit crop, you in
sun* against panics and insure
for a good price for cotton at one
and the same time.
A news item of last week
brings tin* information that a
dispute between North Carolina
and Georgia, as to the exact lo
cation of the boundary line, is be
ing settled by the U. S. supreme
court. We had innocently sup
posed all along that the line was |
easily distinguished by a row of
persimmon trees.
We are proud of Montgomery’s
corn club hoys. In reports from j
adjoining counties, we have seen!
nothing that surpasses the yield I
of ItKJ.S bushels made by a Mont
gomery county hoy. We pre
dict that the work of the boys in
this county will be a revelation to
a number of the old boys who
think they are farming.
The waste baskets of weekly
newspaper offices in Georgia are
bulging full of propositions toad
vertise free the wares of a thous
and and one crooks who seize up
on tin* farmer’s predicament and
offer to take cotton for their pay.
These ghouls would take cotton
. |
or anything else they could lay
their hands on. from a free ad in i
a newspaper to the syrup off a
blind negro’s battercake.
That splendid institution, the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
has designated November 18th,
as Georgia Products Day. This
* means that your dinner on that
day should consist of Georgia
products only. Country editors
are expected to feast on the big
potatoes, mammoth turnips, long
sugar cane and freak eggs sent
in by admiring subscribers, and
enjoy a day of real rest from the
regime of paper sacks and for
eign canned products.
The air is full of suggestions
as to the South’s great problem
of disposing of the cotton crop.
The farmer who is clamoring for
the legislature to Ik* called in ex
tra session to put a penalty on
him if he refuses to reduce his
cotton acreage is about in the
same fix as the unfortunate
maniac who in his sane moments
asks to bo locked up because he
fears he will do some desperate
act while crazy. Fortunately for
this class the governors of the
cotton states will do no such ab
surd thing.

Hartwell Sun:—More feedstuff
will doubtless be raised in Hart
county next year than ever be
fore. Some are beginning to
take much interest in the cattle
industry, also.
Liberty County Herald: —And
now comes Mr. Asa G. Candler
and says he will loan S3O a bale
on cotton and that he will take
up to 1,000,000 hales. He is one
man who has grown enormously
rich whom we believe to be most
deserving. Certain it is that he
has done a world of good with
his wealth. Our hat is off to
him.
Laurens Citizen: Stock rais
ing can be made profitable in
Laurens county. Mules, cattle,
hogs, sheep, goats —all can he
raised to advantage. A 'coon
and ’possum farm, even, would
beat the present price of cotton.
I
Macon Telegraph:—ln two
weeks from today the State Fair
will be in full swing and thous
ands of earnest and interested
Georgians ought to be here to
see what mighty things the old
State is accomplishing.
Pembroke Enterprise:- De
spite financial depression many
counties over the state are hold
ing county fairs. Whether times
he dull of prosperous it always
pays to advertise.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:—A
subscriber wants to know what
we think caused the European
war. Well, beloved, we think
that one sot of capitalists have
some land that anothor gang
want, and they are using their
respective armies of poor devils
to fight it out for them. It
means just that and nothing
more. It is the greed of nations
the lust for power and terri
tory.
Adel News:—The Government
could hardly have created a de
mand for cotton, hut many of us
believe that in a crisis such as is
upon us it might have devised
some way to have tided the far
mers of the South over, even if
it is considered by some class leg
islation.
Dodge County Herald:—Why
not set out a few shade trees
around that lot during this Fall,
and help to beautify your own
premises, as well as build, at the
same time, a monument that will
last long years after you have
passed away.
Lyons Progress:—Sixty thous
and dollars worth of beef cattle
were shipped from one little town
in Tennessee last week. Yet we
still hear men who ought to be in
the insane asylum say “cotton is
the only crop that will bring
ready money.”
Savannah News: During the
last month New York’s exports
were $12,000,000 more than for
the same period last year. Now
if the South will only convince
the world that its cotton acreage
will be cut 50 per cent, next year
prosperity will be more in evi
dence.
Tifton Gazette: How futile is
the hope that systematic reduc
tion of cotton acreage can be se
cured by concerted state legisla
tion Texas has proven. The Leg
islature of that state refused to
make it a felony to raise cotton
in excess of a fixed percentage
of this year's acreage by a vote
iof 84 to 12. What is the use for
other states to attempt to make
reductions compulsory if the
greatest cotton grower of them
'all refuses to do so.
