MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JAN. 12, 192$^
| Gov. Hardwick Makes
! Plea to Georgia Farmers.
j TO THE PUBLIC:
We are now passing through
strenuous days in the economic
; reconstruction of our land.
Many changes are taking place
j in our industrial, commercial and
1 agricultural life.
Our country must get down
| to real business and learn how to
save and,make.
Many wasteful methods in all
lines of activity in our past must
be eliminated.
j I wish to call attention to the
fact that theiState of Georgia in
the'main is almost wholly an ag
riculturaljstate.
It is true our state has many
resources other but I
it must be borne in mind that our
timber reserve is pretty well used |
up, and the plow is now taking the'
placejof the forest.
Our mining is limited and man
ufacturing is small. Our main
resource is agriculture.
Then let us give our efforts to J
making a prosperous agriculture I
for the State of Georgia. Let us'
do our best introduction, and let
us exercise the utmost care in the
matter of marketing.
One of Georgia’s greatest bene
factors is the man, or group of
l men, who produces an article 1
that the whole world needs and I
must have; and I know of no man, ;
or set of men, who reaches to the j
remotest parts of the earth as the
cotton farmer does.
The cotton farmer touches eve
ry quarter of the civilized world,
but at that the cotton farmer has
never had a voice in determining
the value of this most universally
needed and universally used arti
cle, and it is on this subject that |
I wish to talk to the citizens of
the State of Georgia, and to the
farmers in particular.
The question of getting the
rignt price, and a profitable price, i
for cotton to the farmers of our \
state, as well as to the citizens of
| our commonwealth, is not an in-

|dividual prpblem, and it cannot
I j be solved by individual marketing
:, system.
j Individual selling of cotton on
:; ly allows speculation and gamb
-1; ling to creep in and demoralizes
I our markets and our prices.
I I I have studied the question
* | from many angles, and I have
! become thoroughly convinced
1 1 that our only hope for a stabilized
market and a'profitable price for
the farmers and citizens of our
state lies in the cooperative
marketing associations for cotton.
It is true that we may not pro
duce so much cotton in the future
ias we have in the past, but the
; ravages of the boll weevil and
and the uncertainty of gambling
j and speculating in cotton make it
' doubly important and necessaay
that the farmers have a satbilized
market and a fair price. I wish,
j therefore, to call attention to the
j movement, in Georgia and in the
! South, to form the Cotton Grow
lers’Co-operative Associations.
I believe it is the right direc
tion, and I further believe it to
be the plain duty of every citizen
who loves’Georgia and the South
to put his shoulder to the wheel
and help in.this great movement
that will restore the buying pow
er of the farmers, and bring
j prosperity to our state.
| lam acquainted with the per
sonnel of the men behind this
movement, and know them to be
of the highest type citizens of
the state.
I want to admonish every farm
er who expects to grow a bale of
cotton in 1922'.t0 study this asso
ciation and movement carefully,
and when he has made up his
mind, as I have, to then sign the
contract and put Georgia in the
proper light with the other South
ern states in the movement to get
I a fair price for our principal pro
! duct. (Signed)
Thomas W. Hardwick,
Governor.

Send to William J.
For Garden Seed.
U. S. Senator Wm. J. Harris
writes The Monitor that his allot

be impossible to send garden seed \
to every one.
Therefore if you can use the |
seed to advantage, just write;
Hon. Wm. J. Harris, United

assorted seed on short order.

THE UNIVtKSAI CAB
Pride of Ownership
The Ford Touring Car has brought to the farm homes
of the country more real pleasure, comfort and con- !
| venience than perhaps any other one thing.
: It has enabled the farmer and his family to mingle
with friends, attend church, neighborhood functions,
and enjoy the many pleasantries that abound in
country life.
Truly the Ford car with its low cost of operation and
maintenance, its usefulness and efficiency, has been i
a boon to the American farmer.
Your order should be placed at once if you wish to
avoid delay in delivery.

SCHOOL WORK
BREWTONPARKER
A Summary of Work Grades
of the Public School
Department.
First Grade Honor Roll—Char
lie Burch, J. W. Grimsley, Sara
Frances Calhoun, Vernon Hicks,
Helen Martin, Mary Jones, Lou
ise Sammons, Corinne Hardeman,
Oris Yeomans, Walter Dickson.
Second and third Grades have
an enrollment of fifty-three. We
have had six to enter since
Christmas. The Second Grade
has taken up the Riverside
Reader and is doing very good
work. We had quite a number of
tardy marks last week, but we
hope to make a better record
next week.
We Fourth Graders are very
glad to be back in school again
and most of us are doing good
work. We have three new pu
pils. They are Helen Taylor,
Archie Johnson and Henry Harde
man. Edna Sue Stanford and
Harold Mcßae have not been in
school since the holidays. We
hope they will soon be back again.
The Fifth Grade began its reg
ular schedule on the morning of
January 3rd. Only three were
detained and no new ones were
added to the roll. Our monthly
examinations were given and the
children did full well in them for
it to have been the first week af
ter the holidays. We are trying
to blot out tardy and absent
marks. Any co-operation on the
part of the parents will be great
ly appreciated.
The SixthJGrade has on roll
twenty-four. We are expecting
few absences and no tardies for
this month. Those who have
dean records in this respect are
Willard Burch, Emmet McCrim
mon. Daniel McSwain, and Fred
Long.
We are starting up the school
news of 8.-P. 1., and we are let
ting you hear from the 7th grade.
We are very glad to have Lovce
Martin and Eloise Johnson with
us now. The girls have only four
tardy marks last week while the
boys had six. We are studying
about Georgia on posters which
were sent to Miss McWhorter
by the Georgia Railway and pow
er Company. We enjoyed hav
ing Miss Nellie Long teach us
Saturday while Miss McWhorter
was attending teacher's meeting.
The teachers have adopted a
tardy card system which we con
sider very effective. Parents,
please help us out in this.
