Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Mar. 30, 1916.
Warning has been sent out to
farmers against using caustic so
da, or lye, in place of potash.
Try oak ashes, they are reliable.
Just how many times Villa will
be entrapped and make his escape
will depend somewhat on the
amount of space the papers have
to fill.
“Preparedness” and “safety
first” appliances will be needed
down in Mexico when United
States citizens go prowling around
the cactus thickets where Villa
and other bandits hide.
Through all the unprecedented
vexations that have beset the
present administration, President
Wilson has shown himself a man
of wonderful nerve and foresight,
whose purpose to do the right
thing points as steadfastly to
ultimate success as the needle to
the pole.
Give the girls and hoys a
chance. The Montgomery county
school contest should he entered
into b> every school, and every
family in the county. The hope
of this section lies in the hoys and
girls. Money could not be more
profitably spent than in giving
them a real education not mere
book learning.
Our farmers will never reach
soil fertility running in high gear
the kind that must be supplied
continually under the guano
sprinkling method hut the hills
of toil and labor may be sur
mounted by the low gear process
of feeding and being fed by farm
animals. And such fertility must
come before there can be perma
nent prosperity.
We want bi-ennial sessions of
the legislature because such a
plan would give the people a rest
from much of the strife engen
dered by professional politi
tieians, strikers who besiege the
state capitol annually for the
dollar they can make out of it:
and because we have more laws
now than any set of civilized
people ever needed.
The European war has been a
great educator for this country,
and especially for the South,
whose people have felt more
keenly its disturbing influences.
Our farmers are learning that
our soils are more than self-sus
taining, regardless of the absence
of German supplies of potash.
Every day we meet with Mont
gomery county farmers who are
convinced that the planting of
velvet beans will prove far more
profitable as makers of fertility
than the purchase, at high prices,
of commercial fertilizers. It is
to he hoped that this change in
our farming system will continue
indefinitely.
With the chautauqua and other
lectures, our people have had
“line upon line and precept upon
precept.” But the one grand
lesson Montgomery county people
need to have impressed upon
them is the far-reaching and im
perative necessity of co-operation.
And this is true whether it re
fers to our political, social, religi
ous or farm life. Other sections
are accomplishing great things
by this principle. We are not
making great progress simply
because we are not united in our
efforts. Georgia can show no
fairer picture of nature’s handi
work than the hills and dales of
old Montgomery, but they do not
burst forth in all their beauty
and prosperity because our j>eople
live too much in the solitude of
cne-man force and one-crop ideas.

Dressed beef and pork, lumber

Co-operation Pays.
The farmer with only a few
animals can hardly afford to
keep pure bred males. Yet he
cannot afford to use scrubs. One
solution is for several neigbors
to club together and secure the
pure bred sires needed. This
will really make the cost of the
pure bred sires less to each far
mer than would be the cost of
scrub sires if each owned one.—
