Readjustment.
When will times get better?
That depends on a lot of things,'
we will mention a few of the
things.
First, *he wheat growers want
a readjustment of prices. Their
prices have ranged from the gov
ernments fixed price of £2 60 a
bushel, down to $1.74 a bushel.
The growers say the price has
been, adjusted the wrong way.
The speculators are stealing their
wheat. Certainly they are for tie
growers say so.
You pay about SISOO a barr 1
for flour and know that is noi
right. Who do you accuse of
stealing your money that either
you or the wheat grower should
have? Do vou think it is the grain
elevator operator or the mill man
that grinds the wheat? Certainly
we cannot lay the blame at the
feet of our wholesale or retaii
dealers in flour, because they nev
er care for more than a- very
small per cent of profit.
Corn is down to 75f a bushel
and if a man does not care to have
the corn ground, he can swap 2%
bushels for one bushel of meal.
Some .bargain you see. What do
you think is wrong with the corn
and meal situation? Who is steal
ing the difference in the price of
corn and meal? Somebody is steal
ing for they say so.
Oats are quoted at 47f a bushel
and w T ho in the thunder ever heard
of perfectly good oats being worth
less than one almighty dollar?
Oat growers accuse the specula
tors of stealing their oats.
Stock growers say the packing
houses steal their stock and I am
inclined to believe it is so. Stock,
such as hogs and cows sell for 5c
to 6f a pound ori foot and for 20<’
dressed. How could it be worth
15f a pound to dress cattle and
hogs?
f Then we come to cotton and it
seems certain the price has been
adjusted the wrong way. It costs
40’ a pound to make cotton. We
know it did for everybody says so.
Then to take for cotton we all
know the speculators are stealing
cotton, but wno under the sun
knows who the speculators are?
The railroads are not satisfied
with their millions of dollars of
profits, and cannot afford to pay
the present extortionate price for
labor. And of course their labor
ers cannot afford to work eight
long hours a day for twice as much
pay as they used to get. So it
goes that the employer and the
employee accuse each other of
criminality and stealing. What
shall we do to pacify the railroad
babies?
Minors and their laborers are
having the same trouble from the
same cause.
All other industries and their
laborers are having the same
trouble from the same cause. The
cause is, the lack of confidence.
In whom have you much con
fidence? Confidence has been
laid away on a high shelf, and is
of no service today. When did
you use any confidence on your
neighbor and when did he use any
on you? The time was, when bu
siness was done on faith and con
fidence and was perpetuated by
living up to that standcard. How

would vou like to see that old
plan at work today? In the good
old days when we lived by the
Golden Rule, whether we had
much or little, all went well. We
have swapped tlae Golden Rule
for the Dev.ii and the Witch, and
the result is Sin.
Today it takes $2,000 to do less
than we used to do with nothing.
That is so with us, not the other
fellow, but you and I.
There is something wrong with
most everybody except us. Do
you reckon the other, fellow would
think there is anything wrong
with us? Everybody wants the
other fellow readjusted. If that
is done we can live, or we think
we can, but how under the sun
can the other fellow live until we
are readjusted?
Are you ready for the operation?
Are you ready to reestablish con
fidence? Are you ready to live
the Golden Rule? If you are times
will be better.

More Profitable Than Cotton. Will
Make 20 Bushels of Seed Per Acre-
As a Soil Builder It Has No Equal
Cut for hay when pods are well
filled, the feeding value is twice
that of alfalfa and more than four
times that of pea vines.
Planted in five foot corn rows at
same time corn is planted and in
same drill, 12 to 15 inches apart,
they will cover the ground, and
roots will look in middle carrying
bacteria all the way across. They
positively will not climb on stalks,
or hurt your corn or fodder in any
way.
My wheat planted where I had
j beans last year looks like.it had
i already been topdressed with soda.
! I used no fertilizer of any kind ex
cept 150 pounds of acid phosphate.
Planted after wheat, will make a
good crop. It. will he welt Worth
your time to come up to Tunis, (on
main road between McDonough
and Stockbridge) and see the re
sults for yourself. Every farmer
who has seen the results I have
gotten from one crop of O-Too-Tan
beans, says lie has never seen it’s
equal.
I still have 40 or 50 bushels left
that lam anxious to sell in Henry
county, knowing what it will mean
to our soil. So I will make a
special price of sl4 per bushel, or
$5 50 per peek, delivered in McDon
ough and Stockbridge, One bushel
plants 10 acres for lmy or seed in 3
foot rows, 8 to 10 inches apart, or
25 acres in corn 12 to 15 inches apart.
Don’t put off ordering too long,
as I will soon be out
