THE GEORGIA FARMER’S LIVING
Washington, D. C., Jan. 15 — A sur
vey of fifty farms inhabited by white
families in Troup and Meriwether coun
ties, Ga.. where corn and cotton are
the chief crop*, has recently been com
pleted by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture. in order to ascertain how-
much the average farm contributed to
the family's living in the form of pro
ducts grown and consumed directly on
the farm. There are two ways of ob
taining the ne.e- ities of life —raising
them one’s -• f, and raising something
else to sell for money to buy them with.
Successful farming, say the experts,
depends upon the proper combination of
the two methods.
The investigators found that in the
area studied in Georgia the cost of
board and lodging on the farm for each
individual was on an average SI41 a
year. This included food, fuel, oil, house
rent, and house labor, the items being
as follows —
Food { 88 92
Fuel y 56
Oil ;«
House rent. 17 00
House labor 25 00
Total $141 44
This is the lowest of all the results
obtained from similar surveys made of
areas in Vermont. New York, Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa,
Texas and North Carolina, the average
for all these areas being $176 The
Georgia families, however, were large
and the total expenditures for labor and
rent were therefore divided among a
number of persons. But even if the
family, and not the individual, be taken
as the unit for comparison, these items
are noticeably low.
Because the great bulk of the house
labor is usually performed by members
of the family, and the use of a house is
included in the occupation of a farm,
they are frequently omitted in estima
ting the farmer's income. This, how
ever, is hardly just. Had the members
of the family done the work for some
body else they would have been paid
for it, and if it haJ been performed by
somebody else they would have had to
pay. In other words, this labor has a
cash value, and. since it adds to the
comfort of the family, must be includ
ed in the revenue from the farm. As a
matter of fact, in Georgis about 15 per
cent, of the total help was hired.
The charge for rent must be consid
ered in much the same way. The value
of the farm house is usually included in
the value of the land, anl the whole re
garded as the capital which the farmer
has invested in his business. If this is
done, h *-ever. it is only fair to credit
the farm with having furnished its oc
cupants with shelter, which, as every
city worker knows, has a high cash
vain*. On the Georgia farms included
in the investigation the average annual
value of this shelter —in other words,
the house rent—was estimated at $92, a
figure wnich lnclu i -d interest, deprecia
tion and repairs, but was lower than in
any otner State except South Carolina
and Texas. Tne milder climate of the
South does not necessitate as substan
tial dwebings as in the North, and the
value of the average farm house is. in
consequence, much leas.
Tne great factor in the cost of main
taining life is. however, fixvl. Of this.
Whenever You Need a General Toole
Take Grove’s
The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless
chill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic properties of QUININE
and IKON. It arts on the J.iver, Drives
oat Malaria, Enriches the Blood and
Builds up the Whole System. 50 cents.
the average family in the Georgia area
consumed annually $4*0.45, of which
$376.03 or 7*.3 per cent, was furnished
directly by the farm. With the excep
tion of North Carolina, in no other area
was the proportion of home-grown
food so great. In New York, for ex
ample, it was only one-half, and the
general average for all the areas was
only 63 per cent. This accounts for the
fact that although the Georgia fami y
had half as much money to spend on
fiood as in Texas—or. at least, spent
only half as much —the individual had
practically as much to eat.
By raising vegetables for heme con
sumption the Georgia family materially
reduced its grocery bill. In money val
ue vegetables formed 17 2 per cent, of
the family diet, and groceries 21.1;
whereas, in Vermont these percentages
were 10.5 and 31, respectively, and in
Ohio 7 5 and 25 5. The Georgia farmers
also ground a part of their corn into
meal, thereby doing away with the ne
cessity of purchasing much flour, thus
still further reducing the cash outlay.
Of animal products the Georgia fami
lies consumed the average quantity,
raising 94 3 per cent, on the farm. Per
i person, they consumed more poultry
than in any other area except Karsas;
1 bu' their use of eggs was comparative
ly limited, being only 26.5 dozen in a
year for each person, a* compared with
i 56 dezen in Iowa and 43 dezrn in Kan
sas. Practically all of their milk they
I churned whole, so that the amount of
fresh milk drunk in a year was negligi
ble, while the consumption of butter
milk reached the enormous quantity of
| 105 gallons per person a year. Outside
of the Southern States such free use of
nuttermilk was unknown in the areas
studied. Very little meat was bought,
and no fuel at all. the farm furnishing
j on the average #51 *»J of the iatt* r.
Altogether the average Georgia farm
supplied its occupants with the eqjiva-
! lent in food, fuel and shelter of $519 63,
a greater sum than was the case in any
other area included in the investigation,
and nearly $i v > above the genera! av
erage of $421.17. In consequence, the
j family was compelled to buy only SI 10
more of these necessities, and was able
to erjoy the use of $630 of them. This
total is inferior only to Iowa, where the
average was #6■>■>, and New York where
j it was $641. On the other hand, the
cash outlay of Silo in Georgia was the
i smallest of any excepting North Caro
lina. From these and simiiar statistics
, published in Farmers' Bulletin 635,
"What the Farm Contributes Directly
to the Farmers' Living,” it is appar
ent that money may be a comparatively
i unimportant part of the farmer’s in-
j come.

Borrowed Books.
kten N-s 1.
\i this season of the year, when . o
many books were given as presents, it
is timely to read Charles Lamb’s essay
oi the borr *ing and lending of bocs.-.
Lamb, himseif a great Kiver of primed
volumes, invoked a plague upon h.m
who allows his books to roam about the
1 netghborb-- i
Ol all the articles which it is custo
mary to borrow, there is none, per
haps, as seldom returned as a book.
Once read, it should be promptly re
turned; otherwise, it is .aid aside, or
thrust in a shelf and forgotten. Tee
owner of ;t has not forgotten, howev-r,
and sometimes be mourns for it as for
a lost child.
In one of ter delightful essays.
Agnes Reppler tells of patronizing a
friend's library an-J finding in every
book this inscription: “Honor and obli
gation demand the return of borrowed
books ” She says that that sentence
made her scrupulously careful there
after with other people's books.
It is a matter of record that one of the
most celebrated of friendships, that be-
! tween Garrick and Johnson, was shat
tered because of the latter’s forgetf...-
ness in regard to borrowed books.
Garrick was a collector, who prized
clean pag-s and elegant bindings, wt.. e
Dr. Johnson, the philosopher, stuz.rt
between the covers. Often he woj.d
return a book marked all over with
thumb prints, and this weuld peculiarly
irritate Garr.ck. Finally he cemsed to
lend Johnson his books, and a coolness
ensued between the two men.
Richard Heber. that princely col
lector of books, a.ways purchased three
| copies—one for his own use, one for
show in hi3 library, and one for the
service of his friends. He was wealthy,
. however, and c old indulge that idiosyn
crasy. Lucullus, we are told, had one
j of the most magnificent libraries in
Rome, a library that was “open to all.”
It is interesting to wjnder how m2cy
of his bo: ss strayed from their shelves
never to return.
It is possible that Shakespeare had !
books in mind when he said that "a
loan oft loses both itself and friend.”
Excellent for Stomach Trouble.
"Cnamberlain’s Tablets are just fine

[ C. Dunn. Arnold, Pa. "I was bothered

berlain’s Tablets affo-ded me great
relief from the first, and since taxing
one bottle of them i feel fixe a differ

lation.
Albany Herald.
The appeal to charity is becoming
more urgent every day in Albany. Peo
ple in the surrojnlmg country woo
have been dependent upsn the outcome
and proceeds of the cotton crop, find
ing themselves stranded, are flocking
into the city, aim.-^sly seeking some
thing to do for a livelihood.
This is especially and lamentably true
of the negro population.
Thus the city is becoming the resort
1 of the poor and needy of » considerable
territory, and conditions, already bad,
are gradually growing worse. We are
in the center of the Black Belt of
Southwest Georgia, and the negroes
who have been serving King Cotton
are now "down and out.” It is sure:
prising bow few of them have anything
with which to keep soul and body to
gether.
The great majority of these people
have been living "from hand to mouth”
all their lives, and very few of them
are prepared for such a lean season as
has been levied upon the slaves of King
Cotton by the European war.
These people lack initiative. Tney
are not going to return to the farms to
work until provision has been tnere
made for them, and they can be as
sured of profitable employment; and
this the average landowner cannot see
his way clear to offer under existing
conditions. Bu: something must be
done—some sort of pian evolved—for
putting our large negro population to
work. Tney are ail consumers; too
many are now eating idie bread. More
of them must be helped to find a way
to produce something.

A young lawyer had been appointed
to defend a negro who was too poor to

an acquittal the young attorney chal

to the negro.
“No, boss,” said the defendant, "but
I wants you ter challenge dat Judge,
