Ga.. Thursday Morning, Oct. 29, 1914. 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. TTfmYYYYYYYYYTYYfTTTYft • E Gleanings From 1 I Wisdom’s Field. \ ► 5 • AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 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. TIIE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 2®, 1914 PROCLAMATION.
