Official Organ of Coweta County. )u. E. Brown. Ellin M. Carp*riUr. BROWN A CARPENTER, r.niToiw and nTiii.inHr.iui. L. P. WINTER. Conlrihullnr Editor. GEORGIA ( AS RAISE OWN MEAT Hon. J. D. Price, Commissioner of Agriculture, is constantly on the look out for means am) methods calculated to benefit the fnrmer, and to ndvance the State’s farming interests along all practical lines. A farmer himself, he does not have to be told about the weak pointH in our system of farming; —he knows from experience. There fore, such advice as he offers from time to time is based upon actual know ledge thus gained, and ahould be ac repted at its full value. During recent months he has given much time and thought to an investigation of fJeor gin's sources of food supply, and the State's resources as well. Speaking the other day of our enormous con sumption of meats brought in from the West, Mr. Price said: "Georgia can make every pound of the five to six million pounds of meat we are now importing into the State every month, and some to sell be sides.*" There is no doubt about the fact that the animal industry is growing in Georgia, Commissioner Price declares, but it ought to come faster. The new lacking plant just opened at Moultrie shows that the people are taking hold of it down in that aection of the State, and other sections will follow as rapidly aa there is demand for them. "Georgia imported 5,373,242 pounds of meat in January and 5,741,825 pounds in December,” Commissioner Price said. "I have the actual figures right before me. Hern is what we bought in one month, (January,) and a month of hard times at thsl: Dry salt meat, 2,493 553 lbs.; packing house products, ( ncluding sausage, livers, etc.,) 912 283 lbs.; lard and lard com, pounds, 574 319 lbs.; hams, 99,753 lbs.; fresh mutton, 52,529 Ilia. Somebody is making good money Belling us npprixi- mately 75.000 000 pounds of meat n yrnr money that we might easily kt>ep at home. There aro no better gru/.ing mngis anywhere thun right here in C< orgia. Already there are good pack ing plants in Atlanta, Moultrie and Augusta, and others will come as soon is there is s product for them to han dle. This department is ready to as sist and co-operate with anyone who wants to go into cattle and hog raising. Our Slate Veterinarian, Dr. Hahnsen, will give his personal attention to any inquiries upon this line. The oppor tunity is ripe, and we hope more Geor gia farmers will take up this impor tant work.” WHAT SAVED US. It was fortunate, indeed, that the South had already made substantial progress in tho matter of increasing the corn and small grain crops and rely ing leas on cotton. A prominent business man of New- nan said the other day it was this in crease in food crops and meat last year that saved this section from utter bank ruptcy. But for this, he believed the bottom would have dropped out of everything. If the embarrassment we have experienced was lessened by this increase in home-raised grain, the pres ent situation is an emphatic reason why all possible attention should be given to grain arid forage crops the present year. With the price of flour mounting upward every day, and the price of other provisions a close second, while the price of cotton is a third less than it ought to be, Georgia and Coweta county will he courting bankruptcy, if not downright starvation, if the old all- cotton policy should be pursued. The situation cannot be met by the remote possibility of an increase in the price of cotton. This will not come until the war ends, and heaven only knows when that will he. It is a time for the Boys' Corn Clubs and the Girls' Canning Clubs to get in their best work. S. E. Leigh. President, Grantville. J. W. Cole, Moreland. B. M. Drake, Turin. J. C. McKoy. N’ewnan. T. B.

That ail the world should be at war except the Cnited States, and this] country escape complications with the warring nations, was not within the circle of probabilities. That this coun try should become involved it war with any of the contending powers is not at all likely. Situations may arise—in deed, have already arisen —which will test the forbearance of America and tax the diplomatic skill of our State De partment; this was inevitable. That such questions and complications should lead to war, need not be apprehended by nervous people. For one thing, none of the nations of Euiope want war with this country. The allies have all they can attend to right now, and ao have the Germans. Men and na tions are not apt to fight when neither side wants a tight. Nobody wants a fight with America, and America wants a fight with nnbodv. Trouble shies at a good digestion. If anybody has any doubt about the reduction of cotton acreage in Georgia he can easily assure himself by exam ining tho fertilizer tag record of the Department of Agriculture. Commis sioner Price says the department sold in January, 1915, only 19 per cent, of the number of inspection tags sold in January, 1914. In other words, there iH a loss or deficit of 81 per cent. There are several reasons for this, and the chief of them is the farmers are buying less fertilizers. This means there is going to be a big reduction in this year’s cotton yield Even with nearly us much nen age, the crop will ho cut way down as I ho result of u?ing so much less fertil'zor. Franklin News and Banner: “The Herald and Advertiser and the Newnan News have consolidated. This gives New nun only one paper, which, under the able management of Editor Jitn Brown, will continue to he one of the very beat newspapers in the State. The consolidated paper tukes its original name, so us not to be top-heavy, and is now, as of yore, The Newnan Herald.” Must Make Returns to Revenue Col lector. All persons subject to the income tax, and all corporations, must make returns to the l'. S. Revenue Collector by March 1. Failure to comply with this requirement subjects the delinquent to a penalty. A provision of the internal revenue Act with which niuny taxpayers are probably not familiar is that which re quires the posting of the special tax stamp or license in a conspicuous place, so that it may he easily observed by the public. Failure to do this incurs a pen alty to the amount of the tax. It there fore behooves all special taxpayers to post their stamps where they may be easily seen, aa revenue agents, inspec tors and deputy collectors are liable to render reports on failures, and penal ties will be imposed. This is one of the important features that should be ob served by all special taxpayers, includ ing those paying internal revenue tax under the Emergency Act, as dealers in tobacco, or any other occupation for which a special tax is imposed by the Government. The time limit for making the income tax returns expires March 1, and those liable under the provisions of the Act are urged by the authorities to make returns as early aa possible. All indi viduals with incomes in excess of $3,000 a year, if single, or $4,000 a year, if married, are liable to the tax, while corporations of all kinds are required to make returns, whether they have made any earnings or not.

Moore, in Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 9, 191'). aired 2 years and 9 months. “Suffer the children to come unto Me,” Were the words of the Savior while dwelling with men; “Of such is the kingdom of heaven." said He; And still from His kimrdom He is calling them in. He hath called to our darling; love could not hold her; With the (Jood Shepherd's (lock He would safely enfold her; 'Gainst the will of the Lord let us never rebel, Tho’ our hearts bur.^t with anguish no mortal can tell. E’er sii, cant a blight o'er her spirit’s young bloom Little Edna was wrapped in the veil of the tomb; Like a ntnr of the night showing bright from the skies. Earth may never stain her who was pure to our eyes. She is safe from life's sorrows and dangers un known; How blest is the thought she’s “ne’er left alone;” Fond parents, cea.se weeping; tho’ lost to you now. While the dew ot life .- memory is fresh on her brow, Tho dour one looks down on the tears of this world To the land where the wings of her spirit un furled.
