Thursday Morning, March, 11, 1915. rublicity is a Rood thing, but some folks don’t relish it. The corn club boys are being retarded in their work by the continued cold weather. Hut you need not give them out. The corn will be forthcoming. According to our exchanges the boll weevil and the split log drag are still coming. Our humble opinion is that each will serve a good purpose when it arrives. With all due respect for our new reserve banks, the real mas ter of the situation is the man with a smoke house full of meat and several banks of old red yams. Stealing automobiles seems to be as popular a pastime in our neighboring town of Lyons as stealing horses and cattle from United States ranch owners in Mexico. South Georgia was in dead earnest about that new federal judgship. Judge W. W. Lambdin, who was appointed to the place, having been endorsed by over two thousand people. Substituting the electric chair for the gallows in Georgia will not make exeeutions popular. Technicalities in our criminal laws will continue to turn loose criminals as long as they can raise a little money. If all the farm demonstrators, agricultural exports, agricultural exhibition trains and farm doc tors would concentrate their forces on the one idea of perma nent soil fertility for a year we would see the old machine get up out of the ruts. It will never come in this country without live stock farming. Now that tin* federal judgship bill has passed and South Georgia has a real federal judge in the person of Judge W. W. Lambdin of Waycross, we suppose those who have clamored all these years for one will be satisfied — provided he can be induced to live in Waycross, Valdosta and Savannah at tin* same time. It is always too late to lock up a maniac after he has killed a number of people. The awful tragedy in Brunswick on Satur day, in which seven people lost their lives, with many others se riously wounded, might have been prevented if Phillips had been jailed as soon as he began to threaten the lives of citizens. Savannah is about to secure tlu> establishment of a large su gar refinery, and all South Geor gia should be proud of the fact. There is enough land lying un cleared and undrained in the counties of Southeast Georgia alone, which, if planted in sugar cane, is capable of supplying the raw material for running the re finery the year round. And the refinery will furnish a market for a crop that will pay better than cotton every year. The IjiGrange Reporter is one Georgia newspaper that is literal ly living on lie fat of the land. Just to make the unfortunate re mainder of the gang hungry, the Reporter publishes the list of products received on subscrip tion as, hens, turkeys, eggs, I butter, hams, peas, apples, sweet potatoes, artichokes, meal, peas, hay. sausage, canned tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, pickled peach- 1 es, preserved blackberries, dried peaches, dried apples, axe hand les, etc. • ► 4 P Gleanings F'rom - t Wisdom’s Field. 3 k We believe in looking on the bright side of things and while it may not have helped the appeal, or lack of appeal, to the olfactory n Tves, our hat is off to the op timist who referred to the pole cats as “sachet kittens. " Mon roe Advertiser. Brunswick Banner: Certain obliging “experts" are charging the high cost of flour to the war. Certainly- of course—just so! And this poor old war will be scape-goat for every piece of speculative skulduggery for the next fifty years to come. Perry Home Journal:—lf Geor gia farmers throughout Georgia act as those of Houston county talk, the aggregate sales of guano in the state will show more than fifty per cent decrease this year. Hartwell Sun: —A healine says “W’oman’s Business is Man-Rais ing.” They usually are pretty adept in the art around here, es pecially when the hubby comes in about ’steen o'clock p. m., and smelling like a sour apple. Pembroke Enterprise:—The old saying that the South is the home of the “razor back" hog is not true at all. The southern pork raisers are getting into the habit of grading up and we are now raising hogs that will compare very favorably with the western states. Right here in Bryan county we have some as fine hogs as will be found in the country. Adel News:—lf we are going into the ship owning business it appears to us that we ought to build ships rather than buy second hand vessels. We ought to use material produced in America and give American working men the construction of them. liOts of idle men would be glad to get a job of any kind now. Nashville Herald:—The allied fleet is smashing its way through the Dardanelles to Constanti nople. Poor old Turkey should have staid out of this war. | Laurens Citizen: President Wilson has been signing appro priation bills this week, the total amount of which reached about a billion dollars. It takes some capital for Uncle Sam to do busi ness on, as you will observe. Macon Telegraph: —And while this mess in Europe is going on and nobody paying much atten tion to the far East, Japan has China in a lemon squeezer, and is squeezing. Greensboro Herald-Journal: — Two women have started the style of wearing stenciled coats, and if these war-times stay with us the men will have to stencil pictures of clothes on themselves or travel in barrels. Darien Gazette: —Georgia food stuflfs are going to be worth some thing next fall and now is the time to prepare for a good har vest. The man who understands the business should not remain idle long. Lyons Progress:—As a rule, the class of people who are al ways criticising the local news paper are those that are the slowest to pay for it and thus help to make it what it should be. Valdosta Times:— Another South Georgia hog has been sold in Illinois for $175. If those Illin ois farmers keep on importing blooded stock from South Geor gia. they will get up a reputation as a stock raising section before long. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—TiII" R~-P AY.

J. 11 BREWTON, Ailey, Ga. Half Your Living Without Money Cost A right or wrong start In 1915 will make or break most farmers in the Cotton States. We are all facing a crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up set. Tlie supply merchant cannot ad vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You must do your best to produce on your own acres the food and grain supplies that have made up most of your store debt in the past. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew! But it must be a real garden, and not the mere one-plant ing patch in the spring and fan. Hastings’ 1915 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money-sav ing garden and the vegetables to put in it. It tells about the field crops as well and shows you the clear road to real farm prosperity, comfort and independence. IT'S FREE. Send for it today to H. G. HASTINGS & CO., Atlanta. Ga.—Advt. L . W.
