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. Little Frederick is a tine, manly chap, and so far his over indulgent mother Bind father have not succeeded in 1 spoiling him. He spends much of his time march- ; mg up and down with a fierce expres- I sion on his face. “What are you going to do when you grow up. Frederick?” asked an ad miring friend of him one day. "Soldier, of course,” was the brief reply. “But you might get killed.” “Who’d kill me?" “The enemy, naturally.” "Then, I'll be the enemy,” quickly retorted the lad. “Time works wonders,” observed the sage. "So could I if I was as tireless as time.” responded the fool. CAN YOU DOUBT IT? When the Proof Can Be so Easily Investigated.

I 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.

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. Wha: She Wanted.
