Georgia’s Increased Yields.
When the records of the state of
Georgia are officially made up this
year, they will show the Empire
State of the South has been trav
ling s nine, to use the expression
of the day. Already authentic in
formation is given out tliat on 70
(XX) acres of corn planted under
the supervision of government ex
perts the yield has been a little
more than doubled. In other ;
words two ears of corn are really
growing where only one has grown j
before. And the beauty of it all
is that in this wort* the task has
been accomplished with less work
and less expenditure than ordina
rily is bestowed on the average
crop.
But corti is not alone in this de
velopement. Cotton has made the
same progress. However, this has
been a remarkable cotton
year and everywhere farmers hav«
been making double the yield that
has just been recorded. It re
mains to be seen just what results
may be evidently reached in cot
ton, though the corn situation is
one that is certain, for it has been
tested before and the past year
has not been so favorable to corn.
In the face of this, however,2o4
bushels per acre was made in one
Georgia county and in the Augus
ta territory several yields of over
100 bushels per acre was recorded,
one instance being in Baldwin
county where 108 bushels were
made and in Washington county
where 117 bushels were gathered.
And this farming was done by
young boys, who are just begin
ning to branch out into agriculture
but they are doing it right along.
If the good work continues there
is little doubt but that the state
will make wonderful progress for
the next decade. It will take
some phenomenal work in other
states and some bad conditions in
Georgia to keep it from being the
first agricultural state in the Un
ion within the next decade with
the possible exception of Texas. At
any rate, the farmers are going to
do better and that means we will
prosper.—Augusta Chronicle.
What Kind ot Roads have You.
After all their are just two kinds
of roads —the kind that help a
community and the kind that tax
a community, says and exchange
It has been shown that to carry a
ton 0119 mile b? sea costs one
tenth of a cent; by railroad, one
cent. To haul a ton over good
roads e-tos seven cents a mile;
over oi'iniiiry roads, 25 cents a
mile. The mud tax, the excess
cost you. pay on your bad road,
there-fore , amounts to 18cent6 a
mile per ton.
This matter is especially timely
just now, for the winter is coming
on, when all hauling must be done
under maximum difficulties.
Which kind of road have yon in
your neighborhood—the kind that
taxes a community, or the kind
that helps? And if you have only
the one that taxes, whose fuult is
it.

The Outlook.
Cun you remember the closing
summer of uny year since your
child-hood that, the farmer didn’t
say t hat his crops were cut off i
from a fourth to one-hall? Not one
of these farmers intended to mis
represent the facts, and perhaps
the reduction was correctly esti
mated when judged by the prom
ising outlook of the fields in June
and July. But the crops of this
year in Southwest Georgia huve ex
ceeded the expectations of nearly
every planter. It really looks like
a pity to raise more on land than
you can gather. The story of Far
mer Carter, who made so many
oats that he could not stack them
on the land on which they were
grown, is nearly duplicated in the
cotton crop of this section. But
this big yield in quantity has in
creased the cost of production and
harvesting and lessened the pro
fits. If John Bull says, I will give
you sixty dollars for one bale of
cotton or sixty dollars for two
bales, and the farmer says, Well
I prefer to raise the fyvo bales,
then you can rest assured that
your decision will suit John Bull
all right. But suppose Mr. Farmer
decides in 1912 to raise one bale
for John Bull for sixty dollars and
on the land s hat grew the other
bale he makes sixty dollars worth
of goobers or potatoes, or any oth
er crop, be will act wiser and be
wealthier too.—Ex.
A Free Book With 1912 Calandar for
Our Readers.
We take pleasure in announc
ing that any of our readers can
secure a pretty vest pocket note
book and calendar by sending 4
one-cent stamps to D. Swift & Co.,
Patent Lawyers, Washington, D.
C. In addition to the 44 pages for
memoranda, it contains calendars
for 1912-13, the population of the
600 largest cities, 20 in each state,
according to the census of 1910,
the population and area of each
state the number of electoral votes
each presidental candidate receiv
ed from each state in 1908, the
number of Democrats and Re
publicans elected to Congress by
each 6tate in 1908-10, a chapter of
useful informasion, and a chapter
of useful law points for every day
use. This book would cost 25/ at
a book store.
The dispatch about Mr Mor
gan’s unfortunate accident in
church doesn’t say he recovered
the money. No doubt the reporter
thought it would be superfluous to
mention it.
When that new governor of
Kentucky returns to the executive
mansion after an absence of 35
years he will probably feel some
what Rip Van Winklish.
Having tried the habeas corpus
and failed, perhaps the Chicago
packers will now try to prove an
alibi.
