Grow Tobacco.
“ It is a very singular thing that
some of our farmers do not grow to¬
bacco. In South Carolina, above us,
and in Florida, below us, it is being
cultivated profitably, and the same
conditions of soil and climate may be
had in Georgia.”—Augusta Chronicle.
Thomas county farmers tould grow
tobacco with profit. It's cultivation
should be begun in a small way. All
successful enterprises, as a rule, have
that sort of a beginning. It would
cost but little to experiment with an
acre or two, oc three or four acres.
The farmer could learn, by actual ex¬
perience, how to cultivate, handle,
cure and dispose of one of these small
crops. Then, if it paid—and there
are no good reasons why it should not
—he could enlarge his acreage. To¬
bacco is a standard crop. It is al
ways in demand. But it should be
handled with care and method. The
trouble with our people appears to be
that they prepare their products for
market in a careless, not to say slov¬
enly manner. It is the case with cot¬
ton, pears, all kinds of fruits, and, in
fact, about everything the farmer
raises to sell. With proper attention
paid to the manner of putting pro¬
ducts on the market, the farmer would
soon find that it pays to be neat and
careful, not careless and slovenly, in
putting the products of the farm, gar¬
den or orchard on the market. Take,
for example, the fruit and grape grow¬
ers pf California and the eastern and
middle stales. Every package, basket,
crate, box or barrel, as the case may
be, is a model of care and neatness.
And these people always get the best
prices for their products. We should
learn from them.—Ex.
Should Girls Be Encouraged to Earn
Their Own Living l
Should girls be encouraged to earn
their own living, or should they be
snubbed by those who do not work,
but ought to ? It is hard to elaborate
on the subject, for, after looking at it
this way and that, and considering all
standpoints and conditions, the answer
crystalizes into one brief phrase. That
is; “AH honor to the working girl.”
Again and again countless echoes re¬
peat : “All honor to the working
girl!” Honor to whom honor is due,
and it is due to this factor of modern
civilization—the working girl.
Persons of more expansson of brain
than the wherewithal! to place it, may
crowd in their little pet ideas about
form, society and refinement, etc. It
is better form to earn your honest liv¬
ing, than to pose as a lady of leisure
and culture, when your father is
struggling along on a clerk’s salary ;
it is better to be in the society of those
whose sympathies are with you, even
though their dress he plain, than to
loll idly among elegantly attired la¬
dies ; it is more refinement to brave
discomfort and trials, and shoulder
your own burdens, than to selfishly
cast them upon already overburdened
ones.
Why ever it should be considered
derogatory to a girl’s social standing
to work for her living, I can not im¬
agine. But there do exist those whose
snobbish attitude towards a working
girl places her in no enviable position.
These are the ones who make society
the false, frivolous affair that it now
is. The very falsity of its workings
are absurd, yet many come in troops
to bow their knee in slavish submis¬
sion ; it never wants for followers. If
a social leader shall he so-and-so,
slavish minions are there in crowds to
repeat; Simon fashion, it shall be so-
and-so, if a social leader was to say,
though, “ Let us open our doors to the
working girls; but not alone the doors of
our homes, the doors of our hearts.”
I am afraid there would be a fearful
falling off in the army’s ranks. There
would be a general tread for other re¬
gions ; that social star would fall, her
destiny Yes, set.
encourage a girl to earn her
own living, if necessity calls for it, by
ijll means. Let her go bravely forth,
if she must be the bread-winner, and
help her.—N. 0. Item.
