Small. Farms.
The Veterans’ Reunion.
Next to diversified crops,' the
continued prosperity of any agri
cultural county or section depends
upon small farms cultivated by
their owners.
Houston is improving on this
l ine. Of course we do not mean
in any degree to discount the good
'arming on progressive lines be-
: ng done by many who cultivate
i arge farms, but merely to say
that the greatest degree of gener
al prosperity will be attained by
the cultivation of small farms by
men who own them.
One day last week an object les
son on this line was presented.
In company with Mr DanFol-
lendore we rode five . miles hi
buggy and saw the crops of seven
or eight farms. Of all these we
are satisfied the best corn.and cot
ton we saw'was on Mr. Follen-
dore’s farm.
In an unpretentious house, he
fives on a small farm that has
been paid for with the proceeds
of his own labor, assisted by
members of his own family. Op
erating only a one-horse farm, he
arid his son do all the work, there
by keeping the expenses of the
farm at the minimum.
It is true that' his home is not
pretentious, and the luxuries that
wealth affords are not thereabout.
But comfort is there. There is
meat in the smoke house, corn in
the crib, hogs in the pasture, ex
cellent crops in the fields. Enough
to supply the needs of this year
from last year’s crops, and now iu
the fields an abundance for next
year’s needs besides the cotton
that will yield several bales,—a
surplus of corn, peas, potatoes,
cane for syrup and a few hogs for
sale.
There are others in Houston
making money on one-horse farms
and there is room for many more.
—Just now the indications are
that Houston oounty will produce
a “bumper” cotton crop, and al
ready some of the farmers are
fearful that the price will be cor
respondingly low. That would
certainly be regi’eta]fle, but it
would again illustrate the faot
that it is not good policy to de
pend upon cotton money to buy
farm supplies. Nevertheless, most
Houston farmers will make enough
corn for home use, if the crop is
fairly good. The hog crop is ger
erally promising, and there is
good chance for plenty yields of
hay, peas, potatoes and syrup.
Reports to the committee on ar
rangements indicate that a con
siderable . number of Houston
Veterans will attend the reunion
at Armory. Park in Perry next
Friday, July 25th.
While there will be a dinner
furnished by those who attend,
the reunion of Veterans will be
the main feature of the occasion,
and upon .the vetrrans themselves
depend its success or failure.
Perry people not veterans are
oxpected to attend, extend cour
tesies of the town to the visitors
•and help the veterans in provid
ing the dinner.
No detailed program has been
arranged, but we are instructed
to say that the order of exercises
will be somewhat as follows:
Meeting of veterans at 10 o’clock
a. m. for re-organization of Hous
ton Camp No 880, U. 0. V., and
for the transaction of other busi
ness.
A speech by ReV. J. W Sim
mons.
At the proper hour, a picnic
dinner in the grove.
After dinner there will be war
experiences given by Veterans
Pierce, Leverett, White and oth
ers.
During the day there will be
music by the Perry cornet band,
and probably a parade by the
Perry Rifles.
ItUs hoped and expected that
every section of the county will
oe represented by a liberal attend
ance of veterans, and that they
will all come with the idea in
mind that it is their affair, and
not that they are guests.
We understand that quite a
number will attend from Fort
Valley and vicinity, and it may
be that a few who entered the
Confederate service from Hous
ton, but now living in other coun
ties, will attend.
The Daughters of the Confed
eracy of Houston Camp will be
present.
A very pleasant reunion is an
ticipated.
