Greene & Cos., Danielsville, Ga “GEORGIA MUST RAISE 1,200,000 BALES OF COTTON TO BRING PROSPERITY BACK; CAN DO DESPITE WEEVIL,” SAYS SOULE PRESIDENT OF STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SAYS MORE DEPENDS ON CROP OF 3 923 THAN ANY OTHER IN HISTORY By Dr. Anc'rew ft® Sous," (President State College of Agriculture) What should bo the policy of Geor gia farmers toward cotton cultivation in 1023? This is a question which prac tically every land owner in Georgia in Georgia is vitally concerned. Much depends on the outcome of our cottn crop in 1923—more probably than in almost any other period of our pre vious history 1 am one o those who believe we have reached the turning point, and are on the upgrade leaning : towards prosperity and success. J beleve that 1923 is a good year provided we make the most oi our op portunites and all the informa tion we possess tc advantage. ]am in favor, therefore, of a thoroughly constructive plolicy, and 1 think our farming program should be predicted on a basis which under ra ; tional conditions, -should enable us to add fifty million dollars to the value of our farm crops iri 1923. If we raise crops of the aggregate minimum value of $260,000,000 iis i year, Georgia will again be on the high road to a prosperous era, and much of the unhappiness and discon tentnow witnessed so generally will disappear. The achievment of the end portrayed means that money will again be in free circulation in the fall Of 1923 and it will be so uniformly distributed as to furnish funds for the payment of at least a part of the ob ligations which have been accumula ting for the p?.st tv.,. or three years DanseUsviMe, Georgia, Friday, Feb 2, 1923 leave something to be spent for pleas ure and comfort, provide liberally for the maintenance of our public wel fare institutions and place a desirable balance in the savings bank for a rainy day. Can we carry this project into effect? We certainly can, and 1 believe we are going to do it. There is much talk of diversity at the present time, and we have done much more along this line than our own people realize. Of the three dol lars from the value of our farm crop in 1022, two came from other sources than cotton. We must not overlook the fact that wo derived one of these non-cotton dollars from livestock, which was not taken into account by the federal statistical service when they recently published their estimate of the value of Georgia farm crops for 1923. So, our diversification pro gjam at present stands on the basis of one dollar cotton values as com pared with two dollars from non-cot ton sources. Continue to Diversify Let us continue to diversify. It is fundimental to the maintenance of our future succe-s and prosperity. The record distinctly shows there is not an over-supply of cotton in the world at. the present time. It is, of course, a possibility, though not a probabil ity that over-production will take place in 1923. Certainly, the cotton farmer has many difficult conditions and handicaps to meet and overcome hetore this can occur.. Hence, I be lieve that a reasonable acreage de voted to cotton in 1923 represents a good investment fox our farmer;;, pro vided always, that provision is made for the cultivation and management of the croud *n a thoroughly up-to date and efficient, manner. ) think our farmers should make a definite effort this year, therefore, to raise between 1,200,000 and $1,500, 000 bales of eottton. We can do this and continue to lay a desirable degree of emphasis on our program of diver sified production. Wc can do this without extending the acreage devot- The accomplishment of this end will result In adding $50,000,000 to the value of our farm crops this year, thereby enabling us to gain the ob jective of our program. My suggest ion means that we must raise a mini mum of four hundred thousand bales more cotton in 1923 than-we did in 1922. * * * ******** JUST FROM .NEECE I********* ** We art glad to see the sunshine a‘ter so much bad weather.

Mr San ders knew this was pure highway rob bery, and refused to pay it. A norm ber of telegrams followed, coating some $12.00. Finally Mr Sander# wired the undertaker to embalm the body and ship it in a pauper’s eotfftn and offered $65.00. The undertaker held the body ten days before sbippngr trying to force the parents fo pay more. Finally he put the remain* not in a coffin, but in a square box, awe shipped it.
