Thursday Morning, Mar. 16, 1916. rmi ■ i ■■ " - -■ -■ ■ i If catching Villa and hanging him would end the guerilla war in Mexico it might be a thing de voutly to be desired. But as soon as one of these bushwhackers is out of the way another is ready j to take his place. Sooner or later the United States will have to clean out Mexico. The merging of the Cordele Dispatch with the Tribune outfit of that city has resulted in one good paper for Cordele. The issue of last week was a good one, and we expect the new management of the Dispatch to give this fine town and section a good newspa per. The boy who “didn’t know it was loaded” continues to get in his deadly work with 22-calibre rifles and rusty pistols. If a few of these balls could be lodged in the hides of parents who allow children to continually play with firearms the result would not be so deplorable. It is well for the Democratic party that Congress is standing squarely up to President Wilson in his efforts to guide this great nation through perils that have never before confronted any ad ministration. This is no time to rock the boat, and Congress seems to fully realize this fact. When the boll weevil alights in Montgomery county this summer we hope he w ill be greeted by thousands of acres of corn waving in the sunlight, and vast stretches of peas and beans that will make his heart sick. Somebody else will he sick at heart if this pic ture is spoiled by great fields of cotton ready for his rapacious maw. The Citizens Bank of Vidalia has set a good example in pur chasing a purebred Hereford bull for the use of its stock raising patrons. When our banks begin to realize that stock raisinir is the one thing that must revolutionize farming in this country and fur nish the capital necessary for its promotion, it will be seen that the Citizens Bank was moving ou the right line. The Atlanta Constitution of Monday makes a good suggestion in calling for a revision of the laws regulating the distribution of the funds of the state and federal government for agricultu ral development. That much of this work has been done on the ’’hit and miss” system is quite evident. Much good has been accomplished, but much greater good would follow a clear legal definition of the rules governing the work. We expect great improvement in the cattle of Montgomery coun ty as soon as the Live Stock Breeders Association gets down to real work. Where velvet beans grow with all the rank luxuriance of the vines and plants of tropical regions it will be an easy matter to produce thousands of pounds of the finest beef at a cost that would really astonish the ranch men of the depleted West. But we can’t do it w ith scrubs dotted all over with cattle ticks. As we have before had the oc casion to remark the corn club boys of Montgomery county have had little to encourage them in the grand work of making two bushels of corn where less than one bushel grew before. If the! boys of this county are to have any chance on this line some one must lead them who can show some degree of enthusiasm in the j work. The aid they have received 1 from the state and federal agri-1 cultural authorities has been a| mere sham, so far. t TTTfTYYfTTYTTYTYTYYYfTTTY• p Gleanings From 3 l Wisdom’s Field. \ ► •* • A A A A A A A A AAA A A AAAAAAAAAAA A Governor Harris will do what what he can in an efTort to break up the lynching habit but he can accomplish but little without the earnest co-operation of the law abiding element.
