Some Supplies Georgia Must Buy This
Year
We rejoice in the advancement
Georgia is making in the growing
of home supplies In 1909 we grew
on 3.383,000 acres 39.874.000
bushels of corn, In 1911 we grew
on 8,792.000 acres 59.072,000
bushels a total gain of 19 098.000.
1 his is some corn, hut not enough
for Georgia’s needs. Without one
bushel being wasted, without any
increase in consumtion, n will
take 90,854,(XX) bushels lo supply
our demand. It will possibly
take about 10 years to get Georgia
farmers to grow as much corn as
the state will coi mime,
While Qeorgia has been moving
forward the northern half of the
world as a whole, is going back
ward, according to the report of
the International Institute of Ag
riculture of Rome, Italy Their
report shows that the amount of
corn grown last year 10.5 per cent
less than that grown the previous
year.
► In 1909 Georgia grew on 411,000
acres 6,199,000 bushels of oats,
in 1911 she grew on 404,000 acres
8,686,000 bushels, an increase on
less acreage of 2,487,000 bushels,
and yet Georgia is behind on her
oat. growing nearly 80,000,000
bushels. Reports from the Ag
ricultural Bureau, Rome, Italy,
show that the northern half of the
world grew 9.01 per cent less oats
last year So the Georgiu farmer
need not fear that he will over
stock the market
It seems that one of the hardest
things to get Georgia farmers to
do is to grow hay. New-York in
1911 grew on 4.707,000 acres 4,-
858,000 tons While Georgia grew
the same year on 87,000 uctps 117,-
000 tons, which was 5,000 tons less
than wa9 grown in 1910 on the
same number of acres. With this
small amount to our credit for
1912 we are in need of 1,499,G00
tons, so you see we are short 1,-
892.000 tons. This amount at
S2O a ton will cost the state
97,640,000 dollars. This does not
speak well for Georgia when we
realize that hay can be grown in
this state at less cost per ton
than in New York. The farmer
spends millions of dollars everv
year destroying (grass) hay.
These estimates have been made
by figures furnished bv the Feder
al and State Agricultural Depts.,
the State College and best, feeders 1
of live stock. The and part of
these figures are they show that
Georgia must buy .for 1912. corn
31,772,000 bushels,oats 28,862,000,
hav 1,382,000 tons, this will cost
Georgia close to 80.000.000 dollars
add to this, fertilizers 30,000,000
horses and mules $lO 000,000, and
have a total of 120,000,000 dollars
Then add the meat, flour and
sugar bills, this will show what
goes with Georgia’s cotton money.
The mat) who really loves his fami
ly, his own success and that, of
his country, can not afford to neg
lect to grow home supplies.
Strength in Unity.
No town, country or communi
ty will ever prosper where there
ie a division or strife of any na
ture. In helping others you in
variably help yourself “Opposi
tion is the life of trade,” and
merit wins. No town will prosper
and grow where n lack of enterprise
and push on tne part of its citizen
is felt. The true motto of each and
every citizen of a town in and out
should be to assist and help your
neighbors, encourage business of
all kinds—there’s no danger in
gorging the market in this line—
unite in the matter of improve
ment in making the town attrac
tive and giving it a home like ap
pearance. When this is done peo
ple from a distance ‘will form a
good opinion of the place and it
will be an inducement for them to
locate with us and become per
manet and substantial citizens.

One of the biggest delights an
honest man has is in paving his
debts, and by this sign one may
know whether he is honest. If he
enjoys paying up at pay-time, he
will do it; if he gets more enjoy
ment out of his money some other
way. hates to carry the money to
the man 9 belong to at pav-time,
he is not afflicted with the beauti
ful, old time virtue of honesty.—

Louisiana Oil Field.
The development <>f t.he imw
Caddo oil field in Louisiana bus j
been remarkable Tim first ship
mentß, made in December, 1906,
amounted to 2,868 barrels. In
1907 the district expanded consid
erably and the production was 44,-
908 barrels. The year 1908 show
ed still greater growth, both in
territory and production, notwith
standing the handicap caused by
high water in May and .June ot
that, year The product ion of oil
in 1908 w.is 499 937 barrels, in
1909 It was 1,028,818 barrels ami
• n IJ9IO a ,’ield tjl 5.090.798 barrels
was recorded, valued at $2,292,849
The number of wells completed
increased from 1 in 1906 to 28 in
1907, 58 in 1908. 121 in 1909, and
226 in 1910 li/ 1910 the oil pro
ducing wells numbered 124 and
those producing gas 48 The Ge
ological Survt y estimates the oil
production for 1911 to have been
at least 10.000,000 barrels.
The Caddo field is now not only
a large producer of petroleum, but
it is the greatest gas producing
region of the United States. Only
a 6mall portion, however, of the
gas has been used. For several
years the waste in this field was
enormous, but one of the wells
where j the waste was greatest has
recent y been closed. The lack of
a market for the gas is given as a
reason why the waste was not
checked sooner. It has been pro
posed to pipe this gas to New Or
leans and St. Louis.
Hard Times a Miff.
“Laugh and the world laughs
with you, weep and you weep
alone. ”
This ie as true as lisp, we gathet
what we sow. The man who goes
about grumbling of bard times is
a pessimist and is sowing seed that
will have to come back. Quit talk
ing hard times. There is no cause
for it whatever other than a tem
porary drop in the price of cotton.
There has been but little cotton
sold at this low price and the out
look is that those who are hold
ing will soon have an opportun
ity to sell at a fair price.
The diseuse of hard timesSs not
so contagecus so long as it is not
scattered over the country by the
pessimist tale-bearer who seems to
thing that his tale of woe will
arouse sympathetic sentiment in
hie personal case.—Ex
