In the presidential preferential !
primary in Georgia the race is
narrowing down to Palmer and
Reed. Watson and Hardwick
and their few followers are back
ing Reed, and it’s a foregone
conclusion that Georgia’s delega
tion to the convention will be in
structed for Palmer.—Southeast
Georgian.
Prohibition enforcement officers
are being provided with real guns
and ammunition. Those who
drink liquor may expect to get
more than half-shot in case they
came in contact with the en
forcement officers. Claxton En

Hon. Geo. B. Davis is “cleaning
up’’ in his race for attorney-gen
eral. For several weeks now he
has been canvassing the state in
the interest of his candidacy and
all indications point to the fact
that he will he a sure winner
when the contest ends. All that
can be brought against Geo. B.
so far in his campaign is that he
combed his hair when he had his
picture made. —Soperton News.
There are a great many people
in the state who are going to be
slow about voting in the presi
dential primary next month.
They want to wait and see what
the platform of the democratic
party will be before pledging
themselves to vote for any candi
date. Vidalia Advance.
The following rules which have
been tried out are prescribed for
the successful grower of cotton
under boll weevil conditions:
First, plant early; second, plant
early variety; third, plant on good
land; fourth, fertilize well; fifth,
pick first weevils; sixth, pick
fallen squares. Soil should be
well prepared before planting
and growing crop should be cul
tivated often but shallow.—Lyons
Progress.
The peace treaty fight is still
going on in the United States
Senate, but there is little hope
for its ratification. The Presi
dent says he will not accept it
with reservations that will kill
its usefulness and the Republi
cans with a few sore head Dem
ocrats say it shall not be ratified
without the reservations, so there
the matter hinges.—Springfield
Herald.
The women of the United Sta
tes are going to vote in the presi
dential elections this fall beyond
a doubt, and we would earnestly
call the attention of party leaders
to this important fact when they
go to make their platforms. If
the women were so narrow as to
charge up to the I) mocratic
party the insults offered tin m by .
the last Georgia legislature, they |
would east few votes for that
party.- Marietta Journal.

Can the Cash Crops
Be Produced at Profit?
Are the crops and live stock
the farm is producing for sale to
the nonproducers of the com
munity or for export to other
communities such as can be made
profitable when produced and
sold locally or exported?
The best guide here, says the
United States Department of
Agriculture, is the practice of the
community; enterprises should be
adopted that are found generally
on its farms. A limited demand
from the nonproducers of the
community for some product not
generally grown locally, and for
which many local farms are not
adapted, will sometimes afford a
few farms opportunity for ex
pansion.
For instance, the plan suggest
ed by the department for provid
ing dairy products should, if fol
lowed, produce enough surplus
calves to develop here and there
cattle-raising and cattle-feeding
farms. Some farms will be
specially adapted to this purpose
by having an abundance of suit
able but unsalable by-products,
cheap pasture, or pasture land
unadapted to the cropping. Other
farms may develop a considerable
business in the production of
pork, or of pigs for supplying
farms where brood sows are not
kept. An occasional farmer will
develop a business of producing
seeds of some particular farm
crop or crops to meet the needs
of those lacking suitable skill and
experience for such production.

THE UNZVER&AJ, CAR
The Ford Touring Car is literally the pioneer in the solution of the Good
Roads problem, because three million or more in operation brought up to the
millions of America the necessity of good roads if quick transportation at low
expense was to be enioyed. The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability in
, construction, the famous heat-treated Vanadium steel with its marvelous strength
and flexibility, the low cost of operation and maintenance, its ease in operation,
all have made the Ford car the great favorite in every land in the world. It’s
the one car that always satisfies and nerves. A utility beyond question that all
can afford. We sell them and will be pleased to have your order. Don't delay,
because the demand is heavy all the time. We have almost everything ir. motor
car accessories, carry the genuine Ford Parts, and assure the best in mechanical
