Home Made SELF-RISING FLOUR is becoming more popular ev ery day. In making self-ris ing flour at the mill only the purest of Soda, Phosphate and Salt are used, and it is handled in an absolute sani tary way. Self-rising flour eliminates every possibility of making a mistake in bread making, and is quite a convenience to the housewife. She has the sat isfaction of knowing that her baking will be just right ev ery time. Yon will find that, freshlv made self-rising flour is quite different to that made in the far west which is ofttimes a year old when used. A trial will convince you, and will thank you for that chance. Of course we will make it plain if you do not want self-rising. Thanking you for past pat ronage and hoping to merit a continuance of same, We are truly yours. HAMPTON MILLING CO. We are in the market for Wheat and Corn. Is It Cotton, or “What?” (Continued from first page. in a headlong rush after unlimited pleasure-seeking. He has called a halt on the South’s spendthrifts. No evidence of His wrath that the boll weevil has come and is here. It is to give us the opportunity to consider the development of other remunerative resources. A banker last year told me that the only class of men who are complaining hard times is the class composed of men who dream that the millenium had come when cot ton went to forty cents and had proceeded to celebrate the advent of an era that they allowed them selves to believe would have no end and undergo no change. They were soon to wear silk hats, silk shirts and silk hose. Every pock et was to be gold-lined. Every button a diamond. But a head-on collision with cold facts and a reckoning God has caused some men to think. The claim has been made, and with some degree of justification, too, “We cannot sell our corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, if we raise these things.” Perhaps not, in wheelbarrow loads. The same argument was advanced in mv own home town in Florida. Bnt some man with a good thinking outfit made the offer to the farm er, “You raise the corn and we will erect a grain elevator to make it possible for you to offer whole sale purchasers carload lots of corn. Then you may sell it for over twenty-five to forty cents the bushel as at present on local mar kets.” The proposition was ac cepted and the state of affairs for the cotton farmer took a decided change with most delightsome ef fect. They thought down there that they were raising hogs when they had, as I found my father’s place, two-year olds weighing something like fifty pounds. You would never think of feeding a “piney woods rooter” in Georgia for two years and getting what was left for a fifty-pound gross slaughter. But during the last few years they have discovered that Durocs and other breeds do well in Florida and Mr. Under wood went into this industry and captured first and all other prizes in the Chicago Fair with Florida hogs. One man priced a sow in my hearing in Jacksonville at one thousand dollars on foot. A little better than too much cotton after all, is it not? This fall will find the farmer whose ability to diagnose the situ ation has led him to provide corn, peas, wheat, oats, rye, meat, syrup, potatoes, peanuts, and the good Lord knows what else in the way of eatables, in far better condition every way than the farmer who had been crying cotton against more or less. Insurmountable adverse conditions. I love the farmer and feel for him. May God bless him and all his efforts to make it in these changing times. I make no claim to being a farmer engaged in this great division of America’s strength. If I have impressed my readers that I am a fool we con sole each other with the happy suggestion that a great many of us are in the very same boat. May God bless you. Smile wide and laugh loud. Roll up your sleeves and take a start. We just need to wake up to a realization of our all but unlimited possibili ties. Fill your smokehouse full of good Georgia hams and in the fall I assure you of one itinerant per son who will show you how good it eats hard times or no hard times. Do not take too seriously the woman who savs she is on the shady side of 40. The sun shines on both sides. If some one doesn’t come along with a fresh sensation soon we will have a tedious day of it to morrow. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA.
