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." A XA 77(1 .V O.V ITS VXVHS. “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.” There are 291,027 farms in Georgia; the approximate land area is 37,584,000 acres; 26,953,000 acres are in farms, and 12,298,000 acres of the land in farms are improved; the average size of a Georgia farm is 93 acres; the farms represent a capital investment of $580, - 540,000; the farmers own $20,948,000 worth of implements and other farm machinery; the value of domestic ani mals, poultry and bees on the farms is $80,393,000; the average value of a Georgia farm is $1,995. 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.
