Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 20. —While find ing abundant cause for congratulation in the conditions surrounding the Geor gia farmer to-day as compared with those of Christmas-time a year ago, the State Department of Agriculture feels there is considerable distance yet to be traveled before reaching normal, healthy times of peace, contentment and plen ty on the farm. “We have taken'a long step in the right direction,” said Commissioner J. D. Price. “We have cancelled most of our old debts and made things easier. But it is going to take another good year to put the Georgia farmer ahead, and the farmer himself must carry a large part of the responsibility for it. Cottcn seed has brought an enormous price, and, naturally, the mills cannot sell meal as cheaply as in the past. There is very little potash in Georgia this year, and there wilt be still less next year. Cotton seed meal and acid phosphate will, of course, be much higher. It becomes a question, there fore, for each man to consider how he is going to raise cotton without fertili zers—or, at least, without the same quality of fertilizers he has been able to secure heretofore. This situation will, within itself, reduce cotton pro duction next year. We can raise corn on our land without so much high-grade fertilizer, or fertilizer with the potash ingredient. We should give our atten tion to what we can do, and do well. “The farmers of Georgia—many of them, possibly—made some money the past year, but it took it all to meet their 1914 obligations. Still they have more home supplies than ever before, and I want to beg of them not to for get the home supply proposition for 1916. It means profit to them, for with food supplies grown at home they will get just as much money for their cot ton as if they raised a bumper crop. “For the benefit of the farmers of Georgia I am having careful analysis and stildy made of manures from mule pens in Atlanta, from stock fed on cer tain foods; and the State Chemist has already ascertained that the average manure both from mules and cows con tain anywhere from 1 to 2 per cent, of available potash. You will readily un derstand and appreciate the value and importance of Baving these manures and using them under your crops. Ev ery farmer in Georgia should get all the home-made fertilizer he can, and at the same time he will be getting hogs, cows, mule colts—animals which will more than pay for themselves in the price they will bring and the fertilizers they will furnish. I know this has been preached to you for years and years, but you have never had such an expe rience as that of the fall of 1914, and you should get ready now, in full time. Conserve, strengthen, and use careful ly the resources of the farm itself; make home supplies, and next Christ mas will be as far ahead of 1915 as this Christmas is ahead of Christmas 1914.” ' This is the way an exchange has it down, and its just about right, too: “We live in a land of high mountains and high taxes, low valleys and low wages, big crooked rivers and big crooked statesmen, big pumpkins, big men with pumpkin heads, silver streams that gambol in the mountains, and pious politicians who gamble in the night, roaring cataracts and roaring orators, fast trains, fast horses, fast young men, sharp lawyers, sharp financiers, noiBy children, fertile plains that lie like a Bheet of water, and a thousand news papers that lie like thunder.” | Strong and Well as Ever. < Fred Smith, 325 Main St..Green Bay, Wis., says: ”1 suffered a long time with a very weak back. Foley Kidney Pills quickly relieved rne of all soreness and pain and I now am strong and well as ever.” Winter aggravates symp- | toms of kidney trouble; cold weather makes aching joints, sore muBcles and irregular bladder action more unbear able.

A radical newspaper writer in the course of a periodic attack in a New York newspaper on a great business in stitution of the South allows himself to speak of “The South, where men, wo men and children are ‘tired/ ” We think of Washington, the Virgin ian, as renowned for his adventurous youth as for the sustained vigor of his maturity. It was in the Virginia Legislature that Patrick Henry’s fiery eloquence lit the torch of national independence. It was a Virginian who, by his dash ing cavalry exploits in the Revolution, won the name of “Light-Horse” Harry Lee. In South Carolina Marion and Sum ter, destitute of almost all things ex cept guns and courage, checked Tarle- ton’s invasion by what a historian calls “an irregular, harrassing warfare, that for daring and dash, ingenuity of plans, pertinacity of purpose and general ef fectiveness, is without a parallel in war.” For thirty-two of the first thirty-six years after the organization of the Uni ted States government ttie Presidency was held by natives of Virginia—Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe- all men of action. That Southerner, Andrew Jackson, who followed them, was never sus pected, either before or during his eight years in the I’rcsidency, of being “tired.” The successful defense of New Orleans was ascribed more than to any other cause to Jackson's “al most frenzied energy.” “Davy” Crockett, the tireless ex plorer and dauntless soldier, and Deca tur, the conqueror of the Barbury pi rates, were Southerners. Taylor, the driving force of the Mexi can war, with his victories of Palo Alto, Monterey and Buena Vista —the last named against odds of four to one — was a Southerner. In the Wat- Between the States the vigor, enegy, enterprise and resource fulness of Southern men were as re markable as their courage. It needs only to mention Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson. Tennessee gave also to the Union cause the Nelson of modern American history, David Far- ragut. Even now we have in the White House a Southerner, who held the Six ty-third Congress in continuous session from March 4 to Oct. 24, through a blistering Washington summer, when he was, to all appearance, the only per son not “tired.” Of Southern activity in the pursuits of peace we need no ether testimony than the tremendous energy that has recovered from the utter wasting of the Civil War—lands devastated, houses de stroyed or dilapidated, farms gone to decay, the men who might have re stored them killed or crippled—and out of the desolation, somehow, the men of the South have built up wealth and prosperity again. One is indeed ignorant who supposes that Southerners are not active or vig orous. In fact, the Southern people seem to be rather conspicuous for the very activity and vigor in which their critic assumes them to be lacking. Had One Qualification. An old farmer came into town one day and visited the office of a county newspaper. He told the editor that he and his wife had long been trying to de- cide as to what to do with their son, who had reached an age where it must be decided as to his future work . “Well,” said the editor, “have you thought about making a farmer out of him?” “Yes,” said the old man, “but know ing that it takes a good deal of brains and very hard work to make a farm pay, we have come to the conclusion that the boy would not do for a far mer.” "How about trying law or medicine?” asked the editor. “He hasn't brains enough,” said the father, “for either job, although I know there are a lot of doctors and a lot of lawyers that succeed without much brains.” After he had tried various other sug gestions, the editor said: “What have you and the boy’s mother had in mind7 Have you thought of anything that might possibly suit?” “Well,” said the old farmer, “the boy is such a darn fool that we have thought of making an editor out of him.” Our Jitnev Offer—This and 5c.

J. F. Lee Drug Co. Quail and the Boll Weevil. TIfton Gazette. For many years, since soon after the Mexican boll weevil made its appear ance in Texas, we have been told that partridges or quail destroy the weevil. Accounts from the aouthwest told in glowing terms how many weevils had been found in the crop of a quail, and cautioned farmers to let the birds live ns an aid in destroying the pest. Now Georgia’s Fish and Game Com missioner, Mr. Chns. S. Arnow, pub lishes a statement in which he says this is all wrong; that quail do not de stroy the weevil because they are on the ground and the weevil up the cotton stnlk, etc. The statement is not origi nal with Mr. Arnow. We saw it first from the county game warden of Chat ham, Imt paid little attention to it, be cause Chatham is Bliort on cotton and long on hunters, and the compensation of game wardens depends on the num ber of licenses sold. The argument about the quail feeding only on the ground appears to have little to it. While the weevils are in the cotton the quail are not hunted. But people who have studied the habits of the weevils tell us they hibernate in trash or any thing on the ground in which they can find protection from the cold. If this is true, why should not the quail gather a good harvest of weevils during the midwinter months? The Macon News contributes the fol lowing to the discussion— “According to an expert of the Mas sachusetts Slate University, one quail, in its lifetime, will eat sixty thousand boll weevils, insects and various plant pests. “According to the Georgia game warden quail do not eat, boll weevils at all, though very destructive to other hugs and vermin. “According to the Birmingham Led ger, farmers in Alabama have reported this year that, ill cleaning quail, they found boll weevils in the birds’ crops in large numbers. “We hardly suppose that any person can accurately estimate the number of insects a bird will eat. But it should he a fact eusily proven whether or not quail feed on boll weevils us a part of their daily diet. It is a fact of im portance, too. For if the partridges ure sworn foes of the boll weevil, they are entitled to even greater protection under the laws of Georgia and other Southern States, and to more consider ation from the hunters. “Perhaps in this matter, ns in nearly all others, the wish may bo father to the argument. But it stands the farmer in hand to he on the safe side, protect his birds und watch results,” Timely Hint on Over-Eating. Christmas, New Year’s and other feaBt days cause many disturbed diges tions. The stomach and bowels should not be permitted to remain clogged up, for indigestion and constipation are often followed by serious disease, re sulting from undigested poisonous waste matter. Foley Cathartic Tablets should be in every home, ready for use. No griping; no unpleasant after-effect. Relieve distress after eating, regulate bowels, sweeten stomach and tone up the liver. J. F. Lee Drug Co. A Pittsburgher who arrived here this morning, says a New York correspond ent, had the misfortune to ask a man to direct him to a certain Broadway hotel who was sadly handicapped as to his speech. The Pittsburg man was sauntering along Thirty-fourth street, intending to ask a policeman where the hotel was loccted. But in the middle of the block he noticed a rnun he thought was a chaffeur, from his uniform, stand ing near the curb. “Will you please direct me to the Blank hotel?” he asked. “Sure,” responded the man in livery. “Just t-t. t-turn to yer r-r-r-r-right at the f-f-f first corner and then k-k-k-k- keep 8-s-s-s straight on t-t-t-till—Oh, hell! you can get there before I can tell you,” he firia.ly said. But in the mean time the Pittsburgher was half way to his destination. Owes Her Good Health to Chamber lain’s Tablets. “I owe my good health to Chamber lain’s Tablets, ” writes Mrs. It. G.

Long since has the day of the “chick en” departed. She was coy and twen ty, swayed her scepter for a time, then fickle fancy turned, and we had the "squab.” The “squab” was the wee young thing with a dash of daring and a little, ever so little, sophistocation. And then we had the “broiler,” of even tenderer years. But all fads have their endings, or the faddists veer suddenly to the other extreme, and hence we have with us now the "rabbit.” “What is a ‘rabbit?’ ” Judge St.aake asked Lieutenant Haines, of the Thirty- second street and Woodland avenue po lice station, and the lieutenant, who as serts he knows, replied: “A woman from thirty to forty years, who dresses up to look as though she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.” Greetings! The “rabbit.” They were “rabbits,” most of them, according to the lieutenant, who fre quented Whitney’s, 3220-22 Market street, and helped to establish for the place a reputation which resulted in revocation proceedings against the li cense—or at least t.o force the elimina tion of the cabaret.

When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from aseriousillness, the first question that naturally arises is, “How long will he keep well?” Tem porary relief is one thing, but a last ing cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan’s Kidney Bills, as the following evidence proves beyond a doubt. Mrs. H. W. Jennings. 7K Murray St., Newnan, says : "Doan's Kidney Pills have cured me of severe pains across my hack, weakness in my hips and loinH and other annoying kidney ail- mentB. You can use my indorsement whenever you choose, because I know Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all the praise I give them.” (Statement given Feb. 18, 1911.) On Feh. 15, 1915, Mrs. Jennings said: ‘The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills made for me has been a lasting one and I have had no return of my former trouble.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply aHk for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Jennings had. Foster-Milburn Co., PropB., Buffalo, N. Y.
