Volume XI
LETTER TO THE FARMERS
'FROM PRES. JOHNSON.
Atlanta, March 13.—(Special.)
President M, L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division, Southern Cot
ton Association, has issued the
following address tothe people of
Georgia, urging thorough organ
ization in each county as the only
means by which the desired re
sults can be accomplished.
President Johnson’s address
is as follows: '
“To the people of Georgia:
Strong and thorough organiza
tion in each county is the duty
now before the people of this
state who are interested in its
agricultural and commercial suc
cess in the coming season. The
_Southern Cotton Association is
organized purely for business,
primarily to see that cotton
growers get living and profitable
prices for their product, a result
which means business success
in practically every other line.”
“*Public meetings and addres
ses result in much good, but un
less they are followed at once by
. earnest, active work by your
county officers and county or
\ganizer, the good effect is more
than likely to. be lost. There
fore, there should be cooperation
of the people of whatever calling
in each county in the state, for
we must have organization to
win.”
“Diversification should go
hand in hand with organization.
Intensive farming is the thing to
aim at. Combine your labor and
-prains. The hope of our future
isin the educated farming class.”
““Perhaps, you are one among
the number who are cultivating
in cotton many acres too poor to
yield. a profit. Is that business?
Why, there is not a business
man in any other field but Would}
at once cut out a line which he
found unprofitable. Why then
should the farmer try to grow
cotton ~on unprofitable land?
Suppose you make four bales of
cotton on 10 acres of poor land,
have not these been at the ex
pense of the rest of your crop?
Probably these four bales would
be your share of the surplus
raised and you bhave learned
that the surplus cotton crop
fixes the price. Thus those
four bales may cut off much of
the profit from the rest of your
cotton, - ;
“There is no “better advice I
can give to the farmers than to
cut off the acreage that does not
pay. When you work to some
end, work for results, for a profit.
If you must cultivate that poor
lapd, put itin grain and forage
crops, and put your labor and
mules to better work, work that
will yield you good results.
' M. L. Johnson.
“President Georgia Division,
Southern Cotton Association.”

“What is true of the Ohio
Penitentiary is largely true of
prisons everywhere. The es
sential fault lies in the fact that
institution life is weakening at
best. Punishment, in this day
of advanced enlightenment,
ought to reform men, not to rot
them.” i

Christine Giles and Estell:
Blake, who gave that elevating
musical entertainment in this

fied the fact that there is some
thing in life for women besides
flirting with the men. To be
come experts in their line requir
ed unceasing application and
when you cultivate the intellect
ual you subdue the animal part
of human natures. If you want
to save your dauvghter or son
either to a pure and useful life
a blessing tothemseves ond com
munity find a career for them to
which they are best adapted and
then cultivate that talent to its
fullest capacity. Another thing
no one could secure the poise nor
deep breathing necessary for
their musical productions with a
constricted waist. To do good
work the muscles must have full
play and to do so they must have
room. |
