For many, many years the farmers
of this seotlon have had thousands of
sermons preached to them by ’ the
newspapers about bog raising. Th.se
sermons cnme just as regular as the
spring season did—always furnishing
tile hobby newspaper mail with some-
tiling to write about, and he never
lost an opportunity to take advantage
of it.
Hut no one can say but that those
articles were timely. They were the
result, in moBt instances, of a long and
tedious investigation of what was the
best for the good people of the rural
districts; not that they did not know
what they were doing or needed ad
vice, but from the foot that the news
papers were, quite often, a little more
familiar with what political forecasts
portended and what the Northern and
Western trusts, combiners and so forth
mean to tills section, and whenever
they advised the farmers It was al
ways with good heart, whether ac
cepted that way ur not
Anyhow, there is a condititlon of
affnirs all over this section of the State
to-day that foraes one to believe that
the farmers have at last come to repl
ize that their smokehouses belong here
in Georgia instead of in the Western
States.
As an evidence of tills nothing
couid be more convincing than n visit
to the farms. A 1Iicuai.i» reporter has
been to several of them this week, and
the outlook is very encouraging, in
deed. All along tho roads at the farm
houses and ill the stys there were
hogs—hogs everywhere. And it was
not a case of “root hog or die,” either,
for they were in splendid condition
from the “tiney” little fellows up,
Investigation proved that, oil most of
the farms, there were well-tilled corn
cribs—a great plenty to spare when
the fattening season comes on.
Now, could there be any better pros
pect? With anything like a good
season and a derth of cholera the
farming people of this section will
have meat to sell this fall instead of
having to buy it.
There are also lots of other encour
aging sighs to be seen oil the farms.
There is a very noticeable increase
In the corn, oats, peas and cane acre
age. Hut it sterns that cotton is still
holding its own, but It does not indi
cate such a promising fruitage as the
other crops. Viewing the mntter
from tins standpoint it appears that
the farmers liavd decided to hiake as-
suranoe doubly sure, and In the event
cotton goes for naught they propose
to be well “fixed” on other crops—
especially on Ibe "liog nnd hominy! 1
score.
Everything considered, and with
anything like good season, there oa'n
be no dqpbt of the farmers providing
for themselveB this year. They baVe
gone about the matter in a . different
way from that which has been their
wont for many yeabs,'artd when time is
oalled next Christmas they will find
themselves on top with a well-filled
corn orlb In one band and a smoke
house in the ottffi. ■>> rjT.s T
