There is little in the way of advice
or suggestion that The Herald and Ad
vertiser can add to the numerous and
well-meant schemes that have been
formulated for the relief of the far
mers of the South in their present dis
tressed situation. Older and wiser heads
than ours have threshed over the question
without reaching a conclusion or agree
ing upon any practicable plan for solv
ing the problem. Conventions have
been held in most of the cotton-grow
ing States, nnd resolutions adopted em
bodying theories and admonitions as
numerous and diverse as there are
States;—yet, when all has been said,
there is only one point upon which there
seems to be common agreement, name
ly: There muni bo a material reductinn
of the cotton acreage in 1915.
At the same time, it occurs to ua
that the Southern farmer is receiving
a superfluity of advice along this
line. No one knows better than the
farmer himself that no other course
is open to him, if he would shun disas
ter. There is no reasonable prospect
of an advance much above present quo
tations for the 1914 crop, and with a
considerable surplus certain to be
carried over to 1915. Faced by these
conditions, the farmer will plan his
operations for annlftar year upon a
scale that will result inevitably in a
marked reduction of the acreagu usu
ally devotod to cotton, and a corres
ponding increase in the acreage devoted
to wheal, oats, corn and hay. He will
do this without advice or coercion from
any source, because it will he to his in
terest to do so.
There is one class of farmers, howev
er, who will need help under the changed
system of farming, if it is to he made
effective. Wo refer to the tenant far
mer, or renter. With a limited credit,
and that based exclusively upon the
quantity of cotton he may be capa
ble of producing, both the landlord and
the supply merchant must come to his
support. Farmers of the tenant class
produce more than half of the South’s
cotton, and without wise counsel and as
sistance they cannot adjust themselves
to the new order of tilings. Commenting
upon this phase of the situation the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun makes some
very sensible observations in an edi
torial this week, which is reproduced
below
‘‘That Southern farmers, as a rule,
are in better position today to engage
extensively in diversified farming than
they were ten years ago is no doubt
true. During the past few years they
have raised more home supplies than
they did previous to that time, and
they have something to help them along
unt'il they cun make another crop.
“But while this is true of Southern
farmers, speaking of them as a whole,
the fact cannot be overlooked that
there are many —those who have been
fanning on a small scale who are not
so fortunately fixed, and these must
have about the same help toward
making a change in their plan of farm
ing as they would if they should con
tinue to plant largely of cotton, ub
they hnvo been doing. We refer to
those who rent small farms. Hereto
fore they have been assisted, either by
their landlord or liy their warehouse
man or supply merchant, in getting
such supplies as they have been com
pelled to have, in growing a cotton
crop, because cotton is the money-pro
ducing crop. It lias been no trouble to
convert cotton into money, hence sup
ply men have not hesitated to make
advances to farmers who have grown
cotton.
"Much has been said and written in
reference to the growing of food crops
in this section. It lias been said time
and nguin that tiie South must produce
more food if the people would enjoy
i hut prosperity their resources and ad
vantages make possible lor them. This
is quite true; too great emphasis can
not be laid upon this proposition. And
yet the small farmer, the tenant who
rents land, who may or may not have a
mule, is not in a position to go largely
into the raising of food crops, and un
less he is given assistance lie will not
he able to do it. If these small far
mers hud sufficient supplies to last them
through the making of another crop
they could raise corn and oats and
wheat and other grain, growing only
so much cotton as they desired, hut
when it comes to getting supplies upon
which to grow anything except cotton
il has heretofore been a difficult mutter.
"I.andowners and supply men. in or
der to assist in getting the small far
mer on his feet, will have to be a little
less exacting as to what he shall plant.
The two will have to get together and
devise ways and means to accomplish
the greatly desired result. The small
farmer simply cannot go it alone. He
will need help, and must have it."

“By his proclamation, naming Sun
day, Oct. 4, a day of general supplica
tion, the President, in his own words,
has recognized the ‘special wisli and
longing of the people of the United
States in prayer and counsel and all
friendliness to serve the cause of
peace,says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 4 f
"The purpor of the appointment of
the day of prayer is felicitously stated
by the President ‘to take action which
shall prove conducive to that con
cord among men and nations without
which there can be neither happiness
nor true friendship nor any wholesome
fruit of toil nr thought in the world.’
“His effort for the world's pence
was shown in his attitude in the patient
vigil he kept in every exasperating
circumstance to maintain a benevolent
aloofness toward the combatants in
Mexico. Some of those who, at the
time, wanted belligerent action have
come to a dilferent way of thinking, as
they have read the tale told in Europe
from one hideous day to another. It
must stir even the consciences of the
war-makers and the lire-bringers to
know that thousands of miles away a
nation is on its knees in prayer t hat the
peace of God which passeth under
standing may once more prevail.”

Death of W. T. Freeman.
Bounin EntorpriMO-Gazotta, lut in«t_
Mr. Wm. T. Freeman, who has been
very feeble for several months, passed
peacefully away at his home in this
city last Friday morning. His death
came as no great surprise, for he had
been growing gradually weaker for sev
eral days.
Mr. Freeman was horn in Gamesville,
Franklin county, in April, 1840, and
wus therefore 74 years of age. He
moved with his parents to Coweta coun
ty when quite young. He graduated
from Mercer University in 1861, after
which he joined the Confederate army
and rendered valiant service in defense
of his country. For thirty-seven years
he taught school at dilferent places
over the State. He was an excellent
teacher, well qualified for the responsi
ble places which he filled.
Mr. Freeman was twic.o married, and
is survived by his wife and five chil
dren, the latter being Alvan Freeman,
of Granger, Tex.; Ernest Freeman, of
Byrom; Wm. Freeman, of Atlanta;
Misses Bear I and Virginia Freeman, of
Senoia. lie is also survived by three
brothers, Alonzo Freeman, of Green
ville, Judge A. D. Freeman, of New-
nan, and John Freeman, of Atlanta.
He was a faithful member of Senoia
Baptist church, and was happiest when
engaged in the work of his Master. His
greatest delight was in tithing, and it
is said he always gave a tenth of his
income to the Lord. Before he became
too feeble to walk he never missed a
church service. He was a true Mason,
believed in its teachings, and was laid
to rest in the city cemetery Saturday
afternoon with Masonic honors. The
funeral service was conducted at the
Baptist church by Rev. J. II. Cowart.
Plant Wheat Late to Avoid Serious
Damage.
Atlanta, Sept. 26 —Plant your wheat
late, not earlier than Oct. 20, if you
would avoid serious damage to the crop
from the Hessian fly, is the advice
given Georgia farmers by the State
Department of Entomology.
Wheat-plontitlg in Georgia will he
more extensive and general than ever
before, according to advices coming to
the department. Winter wheat should
be planted late, says State Entomolo
gist Worsham. It should he planted
from Oct. 20 to 30: earlier plantings
will subject the crop to serious injury
from the pest.
In addition to late planting, the hoard
urges also, in order to avoid the Hes
sian fly, (which is found all over the
State) that the stubble of infested
wheat fields be burned; that all volun
teer wheat be plowed under not later
than Nov. l;that rotation of crops he
practiced, and that good seed should be
planted on land well prepared and prop
erly fertilized. The same rules apply,
of course, to rye and barley as well as
wheat, as they are similar plants.
All this crop dnmage can be avoided
in large measure by late planting of
wheat, rve and barley, and by follow
ing carefully the suggestions given by
the Entomological Department for
eliminating this pest from the fields.
— Lee county farmers have decided
to grow wheal. No better fertilizer
than cotton seed, sown broadcast and
plowed in with the wheat. During the
war all Southwest Georgia grew its
own wheat.—Macon Telegraph.

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to
he nothing else luit kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder disease.
If Hie kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the hack, bearing-down feelings,
headache am) loss of ambition.
l’oor health makes you nervous, ir
ritable and may be despondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restor
ing health to the kidneys, proved to he
just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
A kidney medicine, possessing real
healing and curative value, should be
a blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy will do for
them. Every reader of this paper,

—The last stand of cotton "beans’ ’ will
be made at the planting of the new
crop. If it is half a crop the farmers
win, and if it is the usual crop, or some
where near the usual crop, the "bears"
win and the price will stay down.—
