The cartoon published in the
Atlanta Constitution last Sunday
labled “daybreak,” is a most en
ticing picture of independence on
the farm. The picture shows an
abundance of all needful crops,
cattle, orchards and equipment.
The frout porch of an attractive
country home, and sitting there a

Below this enticing picture Was
printed the following extract from Who does not want red lips, a
one of Henry Grady’s most famous | good, clear, healthy completion
speeches; . . j and bright, flashing eyes'!

The person who cannot make a
good living in his present business
should try something else and try
harder.
Tiiere are indications all along
the production line in Georgia
that truck-farming will be largely
increased through-out tho State
this year.
It 1s reported that Mrs. Marion
Buckham Stephens has married a
Russian workman of Philadelphia.
Tho bride is reported to bo heir
ess to torty million dollars.
The fanner who don’t need to
buy food or feed, will surely earn
more money to buy other needful
things. Of courso this includes
the supposition that ho produces
tho best efforts to grow the best
drops.
If the seller of farm pioduts
-gots more than bis share of the
profits, tho buyers will bo forced
to quit buying. Co-operation is
needed lo equalize tho profits.
Moro than over before tho busi
ness men of tho Cities and the
farmers of Georgia will harmonize
thoir interests this year. The buy
era and the sellers must get to
gether in their business affairs,
Closely following tho Constitu-
tption of Tho Irish Froe State,
there arose a dispute between Ire
land and Ulster. Tho point of dif
ference is a boundary line, and tho
contentions are as if the two sect
ions are Constitutional enemies.
Of course one sido is Aviong, but
neither is inclined lo admit, it.
Henry Ford, of automobilo and
industrial fame, has proposed to
buy the A. B. and A. Railroad, in
connection Avitli his efforts to pui-
chase from the Federal Govern
ment the Muscle Shoals plant. As
the big fertilizer manufacturers
are opposing VI r. Ford, the contest
for the possession of tho big indus
trial plant might be termed a bat
tle between the giants. In this
<conneotion Mr. Ford is truly a
Iriend of the people.

It has been declared by a staff
Correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, that the associated farm
ers of 9outh West Georgia have
conquered the boll weevil problom.
This does not mean however, that
boll weevil crops can be produced
with old-time cultivation. The
main proposition is to “get ahead
of the weevil” under a new system
pf reduced acreage, thorough prep
aration-pf the soil, using the best
seed and fast cultivation. The de
tails of the plan are easily obtained.
amid his teeming gardeus and or
chards, and vinyards, and dairies,
and barnyards pitching his own
crops in his own wisdom and grow
ing them in independence, making
cotton his clean surplue, and sell
ing it in his own time and in his
ohosen market, and no>t at a mas
ters bidding-getting his pay in
cash and not in receipted mortgage
that discharges his dept but does
not restore his freedom—then shall
he the breaking of fullness of our
day*—Henry W. Grady.
Comparatively few such homes
are in Georgia, but there are some
and there will bo more No person
can say it can’t be done, without
stultifying his own ability to ac
complish the boct in agricultural
production.
Tho picture is of daybreak, but
that is only tho beginning, and in
this instance it moans nearly the
beginning of a hoav day. This be
comes groater ns it grows older,
and another and more days come
and go, making a full and pros-
povious season.
Lot us hope and strive for such
a season better than those recent
ly preceding
#f courso there are many men
in Georgia Avhoso industrial equip
ment does not measure up to the
best, and are satislied if they bare
ly escape complete failure.
Yet, the best is attainable, and
the best efforts will give the beet
products. Certainly the best re
sults cannot be attained in agri
culture if tho farmer is satisfied
with less.
Therefore, if tho prime purpose
is hold as tho guide, its farmer can
be made to produce all its needs,
and thon the model farm eeases to
bo impracticable.
It is true that the picture is ideal
and calls for tho best effort, the
best judgement and the best pro
duction. Less than that should
not satisfy any farmer who hopes
with faith for success in his cho
sen business.
Tho program is not extravagant
in conception, nor beyond the
realization of any mentally well
equipped, ambitious and determin
ed man.
In the young days of his editori
al life, this writer insisted that the
prime purpose of each fanner
should bo to produce on his farm
all things needed on the farm that
must fie bought if not produced
there. No man has yet) denied
the truth of that statement in the
hearing of this writer.

The International Conference
to reduce and limit naval arma
ment was concluded last Saturday
afternoon. There were sessions
each day for tAvelve Aveeks, Sun
days excepted, and there were
wide ranges of discussion. There
were several treaties touching Ler-
ritoral questions in the last, and
doubtless much good Avas accom
plished.
