"Why wouldn’t it-bs a good Idea to
start right now establishing permanent
farm prosperity on every Southern
farm, to take the place of the regular
Bee-saw into debt and out of debt that-
lms been going on for fifty years or
more," said H. G. Hastings of Atlanta,
prominent agricultural leader, recently.
"Enough monoy has come into the
South during the last twenty-five years
for cotton to have made this the weal
thiest agricultural section instead of tha
poorest. Yvkore has all these billions
upon billions of dollars gone?
"Those cotton dollars lmvo largely
gon3 to the North and West for bread
and meat, gone never to return. Our
foolishness, our slavishnoss to the one
crop-system is the reason. Our foolish
ness lias puf'our farm land values* on
a $10.00 to $50.00 per acre basis and
largely Helped to put Illinois and Iowa
lands on a $300.00 to $400.00 per acre
basis.
‘'It i3 world wide experience with
no exception that there can be n® reg
ular permanent prosperity to the" reg
ular food buying, grain buying cropper
or fanner. Every dollar’s worth of-
food and grain produced on home acres
1*3 a dollar saved. It means that much
freedom from debt; high interest and
dealors’ profits.
"Pood, grain and forago production
on home acres sufficient for the family,
the working live stock, the cows and
meat animals, poultry, etc., is the first
stop toward permanent farm prosperity
and there can be no permanent farn
prosperity on anybody’s farm until those
fiSooMafy items, fully sufficient l’or
horn a rs*eds, are produced on home
acres, tot only in 1923 but every year.
"It’s a good time now to start the
pronperity program off right. The first
thing in line is a real homo garden,
properly prepared, planted and kept re
planted through tiie year. Lots of farm
folks toll us that one-third to one-halt
their living comes out of their garden.
Corn and other grain and forage crops
taka care of the live stock. Hogs and
poultry aannot fatten or produce eggs
on air and water. So it is all along tho
line. Make food Instead of buy food
for home use. It beats ’get rich quick’
schemes and steadily followed insures
permanent farm prosperity.”

David, 3.
Captain John Albury, of tlie ferry
boat Flagler, saw tho seaplane fall
when he was about three-fourths of a
mile distant and immediately turned
his ship toward it. The seas wore
running very high and several at
tempts had to be made before a life
boat could be lauded. Mr. Atkins
ami Mias McDouuld were swept off
the wreckage to which they were
obliging, before the lifeboat could
reach them. The two children, who
were asleep in the cabin, are believed
to have been killed instantly when
the wreckage was carried on top of a
nuge wave and capitulated Into tho
middle in a nose-dive.

raised by fines, principally from those

New Canning Plant For Thomas
Thomasyille,—With the coming to
Thomasviile of the big $500,000 pack
ing and Orchard company and the fact
that the plant to be erected here will
take quantities of vegetables and fruit
for canning, farmers and truckers of
the county are realizing that they have
a busy season before tliem. This will
mean a largely increased acreage for
many things and necessitate tlho open
ing UP of additional land for cultiva
tion. It will mean a certain market
for produce.
Horses* Viptims Of Forsyth Fire
Forsyth.—George W. Tribble’s livery
stable in the heart of the city was
completely destroyed-by fire that was
said to have been the result of an
explosion. The city hall was damaged
