Vagrants and idlers should be forced to work. If they refuse to work for prevailing high wages, compel them to work without wages in the ehaingang. Newnan should welcome all kinds of new business and manu facturing enterprises. We want everything and everybody that will help build up the town. The present imml>er of farmers in this section will In* reduced an other year quite largely. We have heard of several who say that they shall undertake to farm no longer, I because they can get no help to either make or gather a crop, and it is useless to undertake it by themselves, and will goat some-j thing else. Their lands they will rent or let go uncultivated. There i is very little encouragement to the farmer, or the one who has not | sufficient help of his own. It is impossible to employ lalxir for the farm. The lalsir question is always, in ' farming communities, a question of great interest, and it is especial- [ ly so in the South. There is this . ; year a cry Jfor more men from | every wheat Held and corn Held in the West. Now the cry comes i from the cotton regions. There is no question, we think, that before 1 the Southern States can secure the j liest results|thcrc will have tobej immigration, voluntary or induced j by local Organization. Moreover, there will have to lie' a recognition of the fad that a I small farm well tilled is lietter ‘ than a large farm half neglected.' The Southern farmer needs to in crease the product per Here, ]>er man and ]>er mule. There are regions in the South where large plantations, conducted like some great factory, will always hold their own against the small farmer and intensive farming; but these great plantations will have to ar range for a more reliable lalior ele-1 meat than they have yet lieen able to command. Experiments have lieen made with different classes of labor, and just now the Italian lalsirer is attracting a good deal of attention and arousing opposition in certain quarters. If the Italian j farmer comes from the agricultural districts of Italy there is every reason to believe that he will make a good American farmer. If he is drawn from the towns of Italy or of America where he has failed to make a living there is little reason to suppose that he can make a liv-. ing on the farm. The laws of the United States do not permit the importation of con tract labor. This would prevent the importation of any large mint- lier of foreigners for any specific work. But the South needs labor, and the labor of the world needs the land. The future of Southern agriculture largely depends upon the success of the Southern States in attracting farm laborers, men who want to buy small farms, men who would rent or men who would work for wages. One class will seek one section and raise one crop. Others will l»e drawn by other at tractions to other sections. Again, the Southern farmer must increase his lalior saving implements. He must use and teach his lalairers to use the latest mechanical devices for the cultivation, handling and harvesting of crops. The greater the scarcity of lalior, the greater the necessity for labor-saving im plements.—American Farmer. Georgia Division Resident Talks of Cotton Sitnation. Get busy or move on.

The authorities of Newnan are after the crap shooters and blind tigers of this city. That’s right. Every good citizen of Newnan will staud by our Mayor and policemen in every effort they make to rid the city of these criminal negroes. The policemen should make a vigilant and vigorous campaign against these characters and the Mayor should give them the limit of the law every time they appear iu his court. To the many friends of the la mented S. L. Faver who so will ingly subscribed to a fund to be expended in erecting a suitable monument in memory of this uni- versally beloved citiztn, I wish to state that a sufficient sum was col lected with which to purchase and erect a modest, but substantial President M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia Division, Southern Cot ton Association, has just issued a statement in which he urges the j cotton planters ot Georgia and the South to stand by the recent action of the association in fixing the minimum price at to cents. President Johnson says: “The Southern Cotton Associ ation has spoken and the old orig inal standard price of io cents has been indorsed and reaffirmed. It was with this price that the bank ers, merchants and farmers won their notable victory for the South in 1905, and they can do it again. “This price should and will meet the approval and receive the ap proval of every business interest. No cotton should be sold for less and this should be added to only as the exigencies of the occasion demand. “The farmer should realize that he cannot get a fixed price by sell ing below it; they must stand solid to the agreement just like a stone wall. You will recall that I have always contended that what ever the price fixed, whether to or 12 cents, we could win only by each individual standing loyal and doing his full duty. There are some men so loyal to the associ ation that they are still holding their cotton. That is the metal which wins; but those who sold for the best price cannot expect them to do this year in and year out while others continue to sell. Let merchants, bankers and farm ers go to speaking out as they did in 1905, The fight which has forced our cotton down below to cents and seeks to hold it there must be met in a common cause: it is vital to every Southern inter est. “It will be recalled again that I insisted that the time to advance the price was when the mill sup plies were short, and that is now. There are few mills not willing to pay 10 cents. There is no doubt by intelligent management of the farm is the only keynote to future success. The fertility of our soils can soon be exhausted under any one crop system, no matter what that crop may be. It has been tested so many times that further 1 erieimentation is useless. When the natural, virgin fertility of the sail has been exhausted by scratching the surface under an intensive system of poor culture.it at once becomes necessary to ap ply artificial manures to supply necessary food for plant existence. No land has ever been rendered more fertile through the applica tion of artificial manures. The growing plants on such lands can be and are stimulated and bene fited by such applications, but the soil is not rendered more fertile. Deep plowing, harrowing and thor ough lilth.with constant and never ceasing rotation of crops, is what benefits the land, fills the farmer’s cribs and smokehouses and in creases the farmer’s bank account. The man who sticks to cotton and to the supply merchant to “run” him, will die in hard luck and leave little or no valuable heritage to posterity. There is no time better than the present to begin the overthrow of primitive methods and the intro duction of modern ideas and sub stantial improvements. The time is drawing near for the fall sowing of wheat and oats and the break ing of land. In those sections where wheat can be profitably grown, it should be sown in at least a sufficient area for winter cutting for the stock and enough to furnish flour next year for the family. Oats can be grown every where in the South, and if drilled in furrows instead of sown broad cast, there need be no fear of winter killing. Heavy yields of wheat and oats can only be harvested from fertile soils that have been thoroughly prepared to receive the crop and intelligently fertilized. All land that is to be planted in crops next spring should be well plowed with disc or turn-plows this fall and winter. This will place the land in first-class mechanical condition and insure good yields from all crops that are planted and which are liberally fertilized and proper- POTTS AND PARKS WE SEIL LADIES’ GOODS.

A lot of prodigal sons think more oi the fatted calf than they do of the home coming. If heaven were a reward instead of a gift, mighty tew of us would stand a show. A full corncriband a full smoke house are the finest and safest financial institutions to back the cotton growers in the South in their fight for freedom and inde pendence from the dominating and depressing influences of low priced cotton. No man ever heard of a sheriff or a bailiff going to a farm er’s home who had a full corncrib to levy a mortgage or collect a debt. If every grower would make up his mind, definitely to plant and cultivate enough corn each year tb fill a good sized corn crib, and then do it, there would be no more low priced. There would be no cotton forced on \he market, ev?ry man would sell when he got ready, and none would be ready to go to labor problem and future success tul farming lies in planting fewer acres, better fertilization and pro ducing heavier yields per acre. These are economic matters which must receive more general attention from the farmers here after. What we particularly de sire to impress upon the cotton growers is the imperative need of filling their corn cribs and smoke houses at home. Be independent of those classes which are banded together for the single purpdse of depressing the price of the pro ducts of your labor and learn to become an important factor in the markets of the world when you go there with supplies from your farms for sale.
