The Farmer Needs o Leader.
The farmer need* n lender—n great
nml hannul alnteamnn—to champion hi*
oniiiw* and whom he enn truat. Farmer*
have lieen fooled no often that they lire
reluctant to follow. In the day* gone
toy they have lielleved and .been deceived.
They do not know "where they are at."
They feel that they nre lieing made the
goat and do not know who to truat and
follow. The South right now need* a
mnn—-a grent big mnn—one whom) heart
in right and brain clear. Dared by the
great calamity which linn befallen them,
anil the grent InjiiaUce* which have been
visited upon them, the farmer* know not
wlmt to do or which way to turn. A
great leader with a heart of gold and
a tongue of fire, with no purpose except
to do the right and lead in the right
path, la the demand of the hour. One
who can point the way and atcor them
through the maze* of robbery and injils-
tlee and bring atability out of clinoa in
agricultural alfnirs, I* the Mono* for
whom the fannera nre Hcekiug.—Mori
wetlinr Vindicator.
Well, what’a the matter with Com
miiudoiinr .1. Brown? Ilnan't lie a
“tongue of lire?" lan't ho the far

the 11120 cotton crop for 40 cental
Didn’t he urge the Governor to call the

Didn’t, he nlao advocate an extra aeaaion
of the General Assembly and the pannage
of u law to restrict the cotton acreage?
Wlmt butter "lender'' could the farmer
want, we’d like to know?
Ami then there in tIn* astute ChnrlcH

gross that "hell would be to pay" mi
less something were done to relieve the
•' situation,'’ was followed nlmoat Ittinie
dintcly by the posting and tiurulng of
glnuarles and warehouses throughout the
cotton licit. Isn't he now advocating
the Government ownership of railroads
in (lie interest of the poor, downtrod
den masses? Isn't lie opposed to the
Farm Bureau organtr.ntions that are
multiplying so rapidly ttmiughoUt the
country? Could ii doughtier "lender'

Nor must we overlook llorvlu Jordan

this class must lie paid by May 1, in

Is not sufficient, even if funds were
available to make the payment.
“No appropriation was made by the
General Assembly in 1020 to pay any of

FARM LOAN ACT HELD CONSTI-
TUTIONAL.
The lawsuit attacking the Constitu
tionality of the Act establishing Federal
Farm Loan Banks has at last been de
cided by tlie U, H. Supreme Court in
favor of the banks. This will enable
the farmers to got money at an onrly
late from this source to take care of
some of tlielr obligations for land and
improvements; and there are many far
mers who should take advantage of this
opportunity. The advantage of these
loans is in (lie low rate of interest,
which enables the borrower to repay Ids
loan and pay the interest on it for Iohh
than interest would cost on an ordinary
loan, and in the long term over which
the payments oxtend, enabling him to
pay Ids debt out of the profits of Ills
business.

Association is organized to tiike care of
the business in this enmity. Some of
the best men mill best farmers in Coweta
are members of it. T. Y. Mattox is

DISCOVERING A MISTAKE.
I’rogrossivo Farmer.
Some counties whose officials decided
to Veconomize'' by dispensing with the
county agents, nre now discovering that
this was a scriiiiiH mistake. Face to
face with the necessity of diversifying,
without the exact knowledge of wlmt
crops to plant or how to go about plant
ing tliem; with tho absolute necessity
of rutting the eost of production from
one-half to two-thinls below t'lnit of last
year: not knowing just how to reduce
this cost-cutting without redlining tho
yield; with the importance of selling
every farm product ut the highest pos
sible price without a definitely organ
ized co operative selling association; with'
the desire to increase livestock on the
farm without a thorough knowledge of
brooding, care, and feeding, nml of dis
ease control; with the will to plant homo
orchards but without tho knowledge of
spraying and pruning; with mortgages
fir notes falling due on land ami equip
ment, without knowing how to get ex
tensions of credit—there has never been
a time when n enmity agent has been so
vitally necessary to farmers of any
county in the Boulli ns during thin year
of uncertainty.
Much ns they limy desire to do so,
county authorities cannot economize Iiy
cutting off tlielr county agent, for this
is not economy. They save some .few
hundred dollars that go to pay tho salary,
but they rob the county of from ten
thousand to several hundred thousand
dollars of Income which the county agent
will bring into the county by ids work.
No good county agent should he regard
ed ns tin expense, but as a productive
ngeiicy thnt brings in wealth to the
county many tlmoa over Ids salary every
year, It is all right to economize, but
euro should lio taken not to ocomnnizo
by cutting off tho sourco of supplies.

THE TENANT FAMILY SHOULD
OWN A DAIRY COW.
Progressive Farmer.
The large cotton planter will often tell
you that it is not practicable to allow
tenants to have chickens, a brood sow,
and a dairy cow. As share-cropping
tenant farming is done on large planta
tions, it is probably true that it is not
practicable to allow each tenant to keep
poultry, a brood sow, and n dairy cow,
but is not such ad admission a most ter
rible indictment of our system of tennut
farming? The inrgo cotton plantation
may continue under present methods for
a generation or two longer, but good
tenants will never lie developed nor Uve
under any system which makes it iinpruc-
Ucalilo for their families to have dairy
products.
It will not do for the landlord to raise
the poultry and pigs, and produce the
milk and butter, nnd sell them to the
tenant. Tho only things that mnko the
compensation of tho farm worker any
where near equal to that of workers in
tho cities are those tilings which may
be produced on the farm at small extra
eost. nml which arc essential to the
growth mid development of the children.
The fault is not in the contention
that every farm family, black or whito,
should have poultry, pigs, and dairy
products of tlielr own, hut in any sys
tem of tenant farming which makes
these things impracticable.
Of course, no one enn solve this prob
lem off-hand, nor force improved con
ditions lit once, lint good tenants, good
farming, nor even good landlords, can
ever be developed under any system
which makes it impracticable for the
farm tenant’s family to havo a family
