This constitutes a remankable record and represents the degree of diver
sifications Georgia has accomplished without the stimulus of the boll weevil.
Cotton Possibilities Under 801 l Weevil Conditions
The cotton crop for the year 1916 has brought the Georgia farmer the
greatest returns that he can hope to receive for a long time, on account of
the boll weevil. This is the record—it is very conservatively stated:
Cotton, 1,800,000 bales @ SBO per bale ................. $144,000,000.00
Cotton seed 900,000 tons @ S6O perton ............cvvv... 45,000,000.00
Total value lint and seed.........cecneeenviienneaneseess. 189,000,000.00
Georgia's Total Agricultural Income 1916 ................ $348,684,000.00
Georgia stands second in cotton production. She should and can hold her
position if her people profit by the opportunities she offers. Though her
planters will suffer temporary loss they can and will make it back through
increasing the number of dairy and beef cattle, hogs and poultry and by en
larging their acreage of peanuts, velvet beans, potatoes, fruit, truck and
cereals. 3
Until Georgia learns how to produce the largest amount of cotton under
boll weevil conditions, it is probable that the yields obtained in recent years
will be reduced by 10 to 50 per cent. Relatively greater yields should be ob
tained under boll weevil conditions in' north Georgia, because of the colder
weather prevailing there,
Some Talking Points About Georgia's Agriculture
In 1916 Georgia had 2,434,000 hogs, which when compared with the census
figures of 1909, show an increase of about 600,000 head. Georgia is seventh
among the states in hog production.
The increase in the number of hogs in Geprgla in 1916 over 1915 was 14
per cent, the greatest increase of any state, |
According to figures of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Georgia is first of all the states having pig clubs,
for lowest cost of production and for greatest profit in producing pork.
Excellent pork is being made in Georgia at 3 cents and less per pound
by the use of the combination of corn, velvet beans and peanuts, the hogs
doing the harvesting.
Georgia’s corn crop has been nearly doubled in quantity and value since
1909. During this period, the Boy’s Corn clubs have been developed and
the county demonstration agents have been doing their educational work.
The results are significant.
The greatest yield of corn from one acre in Georgia is 214 bushels made
by a Corn Club member.
?eorgla has the-largest number of Corn Club members of any state in the
union,
Georgia stands 15th among the states in corn production and 3rd among
southern states in this regard, Texas and Kentucky alone surpassing her.
Georgia has the largest acreage of any state devoted to pecans. ;
Georgia is second in production’ of peaches and by reason of the guality
and earliness, the selling price is high and profits are large.
Georgia has 41,000 rural people—men, women and children—who are or
ganized lnto‘,}clubs and otherwise, to do some definite demonstration work
in improving farm conditions under the direction of the extension division
of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. '
The velvet bean has come into great commercial importance, especially
in south Georgia where it is extensively grown with corn. It increases live
stock possibilities, and when grain q,pd pod are ground together is offered
as a valuable feed upon the market. A
During recent months several public sales of purebred livestock have
been made in Georgia. In this way and through private purchases, some of
the best breeding stock out of the most famous strains of beef and dairy
cattle in the country have been obtained by Georgia farmers,

Trench Anthology.
To relieve the mental strain of trench
warfare, some men turn to poetry. One
man had made a collection of his fa
vorite poems.
It was a small booklet in soiled pa
per covers. Loose leaves from books
of various sizes had been sewn together
in a compact little volume which fitted
nicely into the pocket of his tunic.
Among others he had “Kubla Khan,”
“Comus,” “The Ode of the Intima
tions of Immortality,” all of Keats’
odes and “The Eye of St. Agnes,” Shel
ley's “Alastor,” Henley's “London Vol
untaries,” some nineteenth century
sonnets out of an edition edited by
Willlam Sharp, and several poems by
Francls Thompson.—New Republic,
Disease Caused by Fear.
An eminent authority once made the
ptatement that a great deal of conta
gion is due largely to nervous appre
hension and fear. Terror causes radi
cal changes in the secretions and nerve
cells, and while the possibility is not
the direct cause of disease, it certain
ly is sufficient to put the person in the
proper condition to be attacked by the
prevailing malady.
It is a well-understood fact that ex
cessive anger infuses a toxic element
into the secretions, Fear destroys the
resistive capability, and, as it were,
lets down the drawbridge and makes
way for the enemy, .

Making the Most of Radium.
A safe for holding radium has been
constructed of very heavy walls of
lead inside the steel chamber, sc that
the radlum does not escape, or, rather,
make itself felt in the room outside the
safe. There 18 no thought of stopping
the emanations, for that has heretofore
proved impossible, and besides, a grain
of radlum will outlast many genera
tions; so why economize in a practical
1y inexhaustible source of energy?
The extraction of radium, properly
considered, is, therefore, only one of
the concentration of all of the stored
up energy in the ore into the smallest
possible bit, and this may explain why
it is so costly.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a-crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness. Wi
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high, 8o high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to'pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!
Hastings’ 1917 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the fleld crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real farm prosperity. It's Free. Send

“Cured”
Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph

nine (9) years, | suffered with
womanly trouble. 1 had ter
rible headaches, and pains in
my back, etc. It seemed as if
1 would die, | suffered so. At
last, 1 decided to try Cardul,
the woman’s tonic, and it
.helped me right away. The
full treatment not only helped
me, but it cured me.”

The Woman's Tonle
Cardui helps women in time
of greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womanly organs,
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts, unable to
do your household work, on
account of your condition, stop
worrying and give Cardui a
trial. It has helped thousands
of women,~why not you?
