SPEED THE DAY
In the twenty years from 1900 to
(9SB aerorvling to the census, very
Iftalt vain is shown as to the num
ber employ «d in agricultural pur
■uitiy while manufacturing and
■wlkwr industrial enterprises dou
htoff and more.
/As the Southern Ruralist points
“to 1900 according to the United
States census, 10,248,036 individu
rnk '.went employed in agriculture;
S»7€JC3 were employed in manu
fsr •[. r r»; €19.850 were employed in
■straw; 1,017.053 were employed in
nuh sd.v In 1920. 10,682,944 were
engaged in agriculture; 10,543,699
ware engaged in manufactures;
U»,ai were employed ia mines;
and 2,022,832 * were employed by
railroads. All told, approximately
twenty four million people were
employed in these various phases
of industry in the United States. In
other words, slightly over three
million people are employed in oth
er industries than in agriculture.”
Now if agriculture is the back
bone of our material life and pros
perity, it would seem that the back
bone is not as strong as it was 20
years ago. With the exception of
the oil scandal just now, probably
mere is being written for and a
bout agriculture than most any
subject, and yet we are not getting
very far on the way. The blame is
laid on this and that condition, ag
riculture suffering all the while.
Diversification for the South
seems to be its salvation. It is
preached and is being practiced
more than ever before. The indi
vidual farmer can not do it all, he
must have assistance and actual
help by the financial institutions,
community organizations for pro
gress, business men and the other
agencies that can help him. The
farmer must be given the best of
information as to his soils, hie pro
duction of crops and must have
marketing facilities that justifies
a good profit. When we all get in
terested enough in agriculture to
really do something to help it,
place onr confidence in it and work
to make agriculture what it should
be, and eliminate its hindrances,
then agriculture under such treat
ment will generously respond.
The Progressive Farmer recently
editorially pointed out a situation
that must obtain if agriculture is
to take its rank:
"Now that the South has enter
ed the field of diversified produc
tion more broadly than even before,
the necessity for organized and ef
cient distribution and marketing
becomes imperative. These are not
problems of the farmer alone.
They affect every individual, every
business, every profession, and the
state and nation. Chambers of com
merce, bankers’ associations, mer
chants’ associations, and state and
national departments .must aid in
the growth of the new marketing
movements and give them the ad
vantage of their experience.”
Legislation, information and
farm organization play big parts
in the program but even these can
not turn the trick for the farmer.-
To his rescue must come the sin
cere and sympathetic understand
ing of the banker, the business
t man, the professional man, and not
orily understanding but real help.
The farmer is not a beggar but in
this free country of ours he needs
a fair chance, the chance that big
business can give him. He needs to
be eliminated as a football of poli
tics, speculation and removed as a
victim of interests, and given fair
treatment.
Tjje order of things must change.
There is too much profit on the
road from the producer to the con
sumer, and the profit does not go
to the farmer. When prices fall the
farmer is the first and hardest hit;
when prices rise, he is the last to
benefit. This is fundamentally
wrong and agriculture to take its
place and to invite the strong of
our country to engage in its pur
suits, must be brought back to the
position of first consideration.
W r e are not in politics, we have
no ax to grind, but we are stating
the facts as we see them, and we
are glad to believe that it is break
ing through the minds of business
that something must be done for
agriculture.
In this country great things may
be done for diversified farming
when our business men really wake
up to their responsibility, and in
vest in tfit farmer, back him. sup
port him, encourage him, place
confidence in him and see to it that
he is given the full opportunity to
produce and to market his crops to
advantage. The business men of
other counties in Georgia have a
wakened to these facts, and those
counties are going forward. We
can do it too, if we will.

By Dr. V. M. Pierce
Knowing the vast amount of harm
wrought by diseases of the kidneys, and
having had opportunity to observe the
analyses and the successful methods of
j treatment in thousands of cases of kid
j ney trouble at the Invalids’ Hotel, I
| have recently given to the public the
| latest and perhaps most important of
the Dr. Pierce home remedies, “An
uric" (anti-uric-acid) Tablets, which
I now recommend to those who suffer
with kidney backache, irregularity of
urination and the pains and disturbances
that come from excess of uric acid in
the blood.
“An-uric” can be had now at all the
drug stores. The mere drinking of a
cup of hot water each morning and a
little “An-uric” before every meal
should bring remarkably quick improve
ment You may have kidney trouble
and not know it. The danger signals
to be watched for and quickly heeded
are backache, depression, aches, pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic
| twinges, swollen joints, gout
