PON’I PLANT COTTON
Urges senator west
Georgian Says War
Ought to Drive Farm
ers to Raising Hog
and Hominy
t ~
Washington, August 15 —(Spe
fia ])_Senator W. 8. West, in
discussing the cotton situation
today in connection with the re
cent" gathering here of represen
t a ti ve a of the cotton trade from
all parts of the south to take 'ac
tion which might counteract the
effect of the European war situ
ation suggested an interesting
idea for the consideration of the
’otton producers. He would
have the south refrain from
planting a single hill of cotton
next year, devote cotton lands to
the production of grain and
thereby starve out the cotton boll
weevil.
Senator West says that in view
of the emergency brought about
by war, the scheme of a 50-mile
belt throught the cotton country
bordering on the fields now in
fested by the boll weevil had be
come much more practical. The
world will not need all of this
year’s crop and a large percent-j
age of it will he over into next
year, lie asserted.
“It would be the part of wis
dom for our people to raise food
crops which will command large
pricesand bring better returns
per acre than cotton under exist
ing conditions” Senator West
said.
“I do not expect to plant a
single acre in cotton,” declared
West today. “There will be
more monev next year in grain,
and it would be the best thing
that could happen to the south
if we tried this means of getting
away from the all cotton idea and
gotoraisi.ig hog and hominy
and the grain that will feed our
people and command big prices
abroad.”- —Atlanta Constitution-

Get-Rich-Quick Schemes
Statistics show that the Amer
ican people lost §717,000,000 in
get-rich quick schemes last year.
These included the various
schemes promoted by the scoun
di el class that play on the cred
ulity of the people who are espec
ially desirous to quickly double
their small savings. Sometimes
it was land, sometimes mine
stock, and at others a variety of
fake projects. Generally, how
ever, the get rich quick scheme
was 'advertised and the unsus
peeking were caught along dis
tance from where the thing sold
was located, Mexico makes a
good field to start a fake busi
ness to sell shares to people in
the eastern and northern part of
the Lnited States. The amount
invested is usually fairly small,
and the investors have a business
or employment that beeps them
at home and that makes a trio to
investigate before investing im
practical, if not impossible.
Anyhow, the amount concerned
does not as a rule justify 7 a trip
of investigation.
Sometimes the land comoanies
don’t have any land at all but
just issue a deed that would not
locate land anywhere. The min
ing companies may have no mine.
There are enough of these frauds
to extract over seven million dol
lars out of the American people
in a year, and yet we think
we are smart and good
traders.
It is a good rule never to buy
land or real estate without seeing
it and closely investigating all
about it personally, unless a
friend who is a better business
man than one’s self has made the
recoin mendatian after looking
carefully into the proposition.
It is not a good idea to have the
money invested so far from home
anyhow. It isn’t practical to
look after it as one should and
can’t be attended to properly.
Never risk someone else to look
after your business and make
money for you, unless you know
more than he does about it and
can be a good superintendent.
Asa rule the very place to in
vest money is near home. It is
safer, it will give larger average
returns, and any business you
help develop will make the whole
comayinity more prosperous.
The farmer can’t usually do bet
ter than to invest his savings in
lime and fertilizer to improve
the soil, in tools to plow ami cul
vate it better, in improve stock
and better buildings and in seed
to grow legumes to add vegetable
matter to the soil. This will
make his land more valuable so
that it will sell for more money
if placed on the market, and wUI
increase the income and hence
the profits of farming.
People who do not farm will
need to so slow on
in farm lands, for they don’t
know enough about it. They
will have to study some business
so they will be intelligent enough
about it to invest If they
haven’t this information they had
better deposit their money in a
good savings bank or buy U S.
bonds, or place it with the pos
tal s'avings. bank. Then the in
come will be small butsuie

A Lesson From War
War! War! *
The price of cotton.
VUio’s complaining most?
Ihe man who lives at home?
No.
Ihe cotton farmer and busi
ness mac? Yes.
For years past the Record has
w ritten and copied from aggri
cultural papers articles regard
ing' the danger of an all cotton
crop.
We have always been told by
some that the people who print
ed newspapers for a living didnt
know anything about farming.
That’s true to a certain extent.
We have always been toM by
some that the bankers knew
nothing about farming and were
notin positian to give auy ad
vice. That’s true, to a certain
extent.
We are told by some that ferti
lizer dealers, stock dealers, mer
chants and doctors know noth
ing of farming and are not in po
sition to give advice. That’s true
to a certain extent.
Hut its true only so far as the
kind of plows to use.when to use
them, etc. is concerned.
When it comes to the kind of
crops that are most profitable
one man knows about as well as
another, and every man who is
wide awake knows and has
known for sometime that the
man who sticks to an all-cotton
crop is the biggest failure. Its
the farmer who grows supplies
at home, and the supplies for his
live stock, that nas the money
in the bank.
Proof of this is plainly evident
just now, The war across the
waters has affected the price of
cotton considerably. In fact
without the aid of a wise gover
ment, the farmers of the south
would be up against it. They’d
“hit the ceiling’’too quick to talk
about-many of them. And
along with them would go many
business concerns. Among the
farmers, who’d go first? THE
MAN WHO HAD THE BIG
GEST ACCOUNT WITH THE
MERCHANTS FOR SOME
THING TO EAT. of course.
Of course no one anticipated
this war a few months ago. We
didn’t know that it was coming
along to knock us off our feet.
Gut it did, and the man who feels
♦
it worst, aside from the business
men in the towns, is the fanner
who has nothing but cotton to
tide him oyer. The man who
has meat in llie smoke house,
corn in the crib, fodder, hay and
oats in the barn-loft and milk
and butter aplenty, don’t have to
worry. He can wait on the price
of cotton. Gut how many far
iners in this section can do that?
In times of peace and when we
think we arc prospering most,
15c cotton will make no man
wealthier with an all cotton crop
than twelve cent cotton would
with cotton as a surplus and
home supplies in fie first c >’umn
of hi j farm products. How
much worse is it. in times of war?
There’s always a demand for
something for the inner man.
Ts there always a demand for
cotton?
This war should prove a bleßS
ingto the South. It will hurt
just at present, but we should
stop and think for one time of
the fact that Georgia is the only

STATE ELECTION -
ON NOVEMBER 3
New Law Passed by Georgia
Legislature
ELECTIONS ARE COMBINED
Under New Law All State Officials
Will Be Voted For on Date of the
Federal Election—Forty-Year Cus
tom Changed.
I nder a law passed by the last
Georgia general assembly and signed
by the governor, there will be no reg
ular state election In October this
year, as has been the custom for
nearly 40 years.
I’nder the new law. the state and
Federal elections have been combin
ed. to take place on the date of the
Federal election, which occurs on the
first Wednesday in November.
All the candidates nominated in
Wednesday’s primary and all consti
tutional amendments proposed will
be voted for in November. It is esti
mated that this change will save the
people about $70,000 every election
year.
Not since the present constitution
was adopted in 1577 lias a regular
state election been held at any time
except upon the first Tuesday in Oc
tober.
The new law is a code amendment,
as the constitution merely says that
state elections shall take place on the
first Tuesday in October, “unless the
date shall he changed by legislative
enactment.”

was especially interested in the
live stock exhibits at the State

ganized a live stock association
with about a hundred members,
Franklin county is preparing to
go into the live stock business in
earnest and the information ob
tained from the work done in
this line at the State Colleire will
no doubt prove very benelie.ial to
them in this work.
All members of the party wore
badges to show where they were
from and what they came for.
On the badges were printed
“Franklin County Farmers Ln
stitute Society. More llog and
Hominy.”
Toe Franklin county farmers
have become as the “llog and
Hominy boys” at the State Col

enthusiastic over the trip and
well pleased with what they saw
in Athens. •
