THE HOG AS A SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR .COWETA COUNTY— With tho lessening, of our income from til© cotton crop, duo‘to tho inroads of tho boll weevil and tho unsatisfactory price, farmers nro turning in ovory di rection mol looking for new sources of revenue. In iny judgment tho hog as a money-hringcr is one source of revenue we cannot afford to overlook. Ill tho first place, if wo will rniso tho hogs we rail turn them into money. Dur ing tho winter there is a considerable de mand for dressed hogs by the local mar kets, nnd to a certain extent throughout the year. Hut. of course they cannot use nil our product—especially if we increase it considerably. Hut, there is always a demand for hogs by the packing houses and a mnrkot, price for hogs jUBt ns there is for cotton, and we can market our hogs whenever there is a car-load to sell. Arrangements have been mado so that we know wo will have a solo about May 1, 1922, ami this Hummer's pigs can be gotten ready by that time. It seems to mo that tho farmer who neglects tills opportunity to add to his revenue js standing in his own light, Another item in favor of,the hog as oao of our supplopiontnry money crops is tho fact that ho can ho made to util ise waste products and turn thorn into money for us. Qur surplus corn which we frequently koop over till rats or woo- vils eat it, our cull potntoos which if put on tho market will bring down the price of good onos wo lmvo to sell, waste mel ons and fruit mill garden truck, all will help to grow a hog, and through him can bo turned into money. < Now ip tho time to plant winter graft ing crops for your hogs. On rich land rape can ho grown profitably, and If you cannot, fence It- in it cun bo cut and thrown over to your hogs- It Is ula^ time now to plant rye for bog grafting nnd feeding. For grazing in the early spring burr mid crimson clover give excellent returns, the former of which should be planted at once and tho latter next month. I sometimes hear men complaining that they do not know whoro they cun get the inuuc.v to pay their taxes this winter. Now I believe that ami gaud hog to the pl,,\f would pay the taxes of Coweta count,v, and a good Juno or duly pig, if fed all tho waste-food nml food of one hind or another, with snmo grain and s iur milk nr tankage, could he made to weigh 200 pinitiils by .Ian. 1.

For tills reason there linn been estab lished in many places n careful system of physical examination of school chil dren, and bemuse tlm Red Cross iu its poiieo-tiino program Iuih determined to give its support, indorsement mid ns- sistmice in any plan which will build 1 ho health of the people, it naturally feels a ikeon interest in tho health of the children of school age.

Why should 11 Why all this hullabaloo about tho farmer and his troubles.’ If he wants to farm, lot him, If be doesn’t, bo win quit.” Thus snys the city man to hinigelf. The city half of America cares very little how the country half lives. Hut the city half cores immensely how the ,-itv half lives. Ami if the Country half docs net find it possible to live decently, then its members will quit farming iu such numbers thnt present prices of food and clothing will seem merely a jnhe compared with the prices thnt will stare us ill the face if thnt ever happens. Ho the question is not “Do you core wluit happens to tlm farmer?” but “Do you rare wlmt-you hnvo to pay for v.hat. you eat anil wear?” • ' Farming today is being transformed from a home-ranking' occupation, produ cing’a cheap surplus of food, into the greatest and most important national in dustry thnt we have—our basic supply of food and clothes. Land is no longer clienp, plentiful, and naturally fertile. Farming men nnd wo men nro no longer willing to break tlicir bucks nml spirits, or to supply themselves with cheap help by breaking tins backs and spirits of large families of children. Yon cannot blame them. Tlio only thing to do, if the city is to he clothed and fed, is to help tlio country half put farming on a money making basis. Most of this problem falls where it should—on" the farmer himself. He ims made more tlma a bo- ginning. The principal help we can give him is to show a little common sense un derstanding of what ho is up aguinBt. It will help if legislators remember that nil tlie Government can do for the farmer is to see that ho 1ms fair trade and co-operative organization conditions under which to manage his affairs. It will help if financiers remember that all financiers enn do for the farmer is to, son that he lias needed'credit facil ities with which successfully to finance hiH operations. It will help if transportation systems remember that all tlioy can do is to see that lie gets a square deal in tho matter of freight rates, It .will help if manufacturers and dis tributors will seo that tlie cost of-process- ing nnd handling between farmer and consumer is minimized, so that consumers eon buy food nml clothes out of wages been 100 per cent, higher than in pre- wur times. These cobIs have not been pnsseii on entirely to .the consumer, but have been deducted in part at least front tlie farmers’ quoted prices. These de ductions lmvo unquestionably been tlie greatest' demoralizing force which the farmer hns had to meet during the past fifteen months. ' ■' . Tho farmer hns been forced to pay for the tilings lie buys ’from flic 1 sale of raw products that ure bringing him nl- moBt pre-war prices. An example; It takes 300.pounds of Wool, at present quotations, or tho clip of forty sheep, to buy an ordinary suit of clothes. To get a pair of ordinary dress bIioob tlie farmer has, to hand over the money income from tho sale of ten mature cattle hides.. And 7G- pounds of cotton will purchase only an ordinary gingham dres^. No fair-minded funner will deny thnt certain margins above bundling charges nro legitimate. But when a problem like tlio present one presents itself it is little wonder that tlio farmer is getting inter ested in eo-operntive mufkotlng,< The American Fnrin^pureau Federation mid other powerful,groups of farmers have organized to meet tho emergency by shortening thewrouto from tlie producer to tlio consumer, -They are not planning to eliminate useful machinery, but they do intend to eliminate tlie parasitic 'growths that now exist along the Hales route. t Let these organizations realize that the 'farmer is not a merchant, but a pro ducer, and much good will result. « Accounting for Failures, Trying to find n short road to.suc- cess would mnke good epltnphs for the vast multitudes of failures. ggE3SIBB3KaDBDBDSl{|gDQBBBEEaaDBBQ Colds & 'Headache “For years have used Black-Draught in our family, and I have never found any medicine that could' take its place,” writes Mr. H.

And, finally, let tho city man realize that the gears of industry and of agri culture have to mesh. For at bottom the solution of tlie farmers’ producing and soiling problem is tho solution of your own food nml clothing problem. RAILROADS MUST CUT RATES. Washington, Aug. .18.—Railroads must share with the fanners and others the burden of the presont economic situation by reducing freight rates, Secretary Wal lace said today before the Inuterstato Commerce Commission, which is investi gating fates on grain'and liny.

For instance, in the general examination of school . children somo ten million were found to bo suffering from somo' form of tubercular infection, and when wo couple-with,this tho furthor foot that in the examination of 100 ton sils romovod in olio school throe-fourths of them wore found to be infected witli tlio germ of tuberculosis, it will nob bo Irani to uniloratnnd why onjiirgcd tonsils and uderioids should be removed.. There are many other ill's caused by these con ditions. . . Again, the physical cxiuiririntibn of school oUildron will reveal; whether tho child weighs enough to support his height, thus determining \ybothor or riot it is properly nourished; whother tho Vhild.'is mentally equal, to normal chil dren of tho fltmfe age; whether its activ ity, strength and general.

The ifarmcr now was bearing more than his share of tho economic load, he said, because the purchasing power of farm products was below the average of other commodities. He presented fig ures to show that in Iowa the purchas ing power of oats was 4S per cent, of wlmt it was fl'pm .1909 to 1914.
