COMMENCE THE NEW CROP
RIGHT.
It is not too early to commence
planning for planting time. Many
counties have already formulated a
plan and the planters agreed upon a
schedule for the coming year In
Colquitt county, the formers have
made up the following plan for the
new year which appears to he a
splendid program for that section of
the state:
Corn, velvet beans and runner
peanuts, 10 acres.
Oats, followed by peavine hay,
five acres.
Sweet potatoes, sugar cane, gar
den, etc., five acres. ♦ j
Melons Spanish peanuts or to- J
bacco, five acres.
Truck, three acres.
Cotton, five acres.
Permanent pastures or waste or
wet land, three to five acres.
Three to five milch cows, two
brood sows and fifty burebred
chickens.
If the farmers in every county in
the state would meet and agree on
some definite plan for the new
year, the results would show a won
derful improvement over crops for- :
merly grown without any definite i
plan. In this section of the state j
the .schedule should be changed ma-j
terially. There are things which
tan be raised here that can not be
raised in the lower section of the
state and no doubt there are things
which can be raised in south Geor
gia which could not be raised prof
itably in this section. But the all
important part of the whole proceed
ing is to formulate and agree on
some definite plan applicable to the
section in which the plan is ' pro
vided. Such 9 movement could be
directed by the state college .of
agriculture and. the Chamber of
Commerce and the farmers from
this and surrounding counties in
vited 1 to attend a meeting for the
proper organization of this impor
tant movement,
GEORGIA-MADE CHEESE IN
DEMAND.
Commencing in a smal way sev
eral towns in this section have built
cheese factories which have proved
successful beyond all expectations.
The Sandersville Progress, speaking
of the cheese factory at Lexington,
has the following to say of the en
terprise and of the wholesale mer
chant here who is handling the en
t’re output of the Lexington plant:
“There appears to be a demand
for Georgiamade cheese which can
not be filled because there is not
enough of it made. , If. the people of
Wisconsin can manufacture cheese,
ship it to Georgia and sell it at a
profit, it looks like Georgia p»ople
could make such enterprises profit
able. A grocery company at Ath
ens is handling the entire product
of the cheese factory at Lexington,
and states that retail buyers
throughout that territory are de
manding Lexington cheese in pref
erence to any other. Cheese has
be n made at Fern Crest Dairy of
this place and it was superior to
that shipped here from a distance,
but on account of the unusual de
mand for the Guernsey milk from
the cities the enterprise was rban
doned. A cheese factory should be
established at Tennille or Sanders
ville so as to furnish a market for
the surplus milk within this terri
tory.”
Georgia cheese are far superior to
the cheese manufactured in Wiscon
sin and New York. The building
and equipment of a plant does not
require any great amount of capi
tal and the returns from such an in
vestment are most inviting. Ath
ens should by all means organize a
company for the manufacture of
cheese and not only supply the lo
cal wholesaler, but should enter the
markets of the entire south with
Athens-made cheese. Such an enter
prise can be made a success and the
sooner our people realize the value
of such an institution and the pro
sooner will Athens commence to
take her place among the leading
manufacturing cities of the country.
Manufactures and payrolls each
week build cities and without them
thijre is little opportunity for a city
to grow add expand and take on im
portance. Let us settle down to
business and make up our minds
that we will secure new industries
for another year. It can be accom
plished and without any great ef
fort on the part of anyone. Co
operation on the part of our people
will W ork wnders and, create a new
spirit in the community which is
bound to result in much good.
THE REASON WHY.
*
Recently a writer undertook to
: explain why some men get SSOO a
month while others work for 8100.
Here’s the substance:
Three brothers left the farm to
' work in the city, and all got jobs in
' r r.e same company, starting out at
the same pay.
S,x years later one was r 'ceiving
£IOO per month; a seconi s£.oo; and
.he third SSOO.
Their father hearing of these sal
aries, decided to visit his sons’
employer and find out why they
were paid on what seemed to be
such an unfair basis.
“I will*let them explain for them
selves,” said the boss, as he pressed
a button under his desk.
Jim, the lowest paid man of the
three, answered.
“I understand the Oceania has
just docked,” said the employer.
“Please go down there and get an
inventory of her cargo.”
Three minutes later Jim was back
in the office.
“She carries a cargo of 2,000 seal
skins,” reported Jim. “I got the
information from the first mate
over the telephone.”
“Thank you, Jim,” said the boss.
“That will be all.” f
He pressed th ebutton again, and
Frank, the S2OO .man, reported
“Frank, I wsh you would go down
to the dock and get an inventory of
the Oceanc’s cargo.”
An hour later Frank was back
with a list showing that the Oceanic
not only carried 2,000 seal skins,
but that she also had - 500 beaver
and 1,100 mink pelts.
The employer pressed the button
a third time and George, the SSOO
man, walked into the offce.
He was given hte same instruc
tions his brothers had received.
0
George did not return for three
hours, and the office had closed for
the day, but his father and the boss
were waiting for him.
“The Oceanic carries 2,000 seal
skins,” he began. “They are of
fered at $5 each, so I took a two
day option on them, and have wired
a prospect in St. Louis, offering j
them to him at $7. I expect to
have his order tomorrow. I also
found 500 beaver, which I spld over
the telephone at a proft of S7OO.
The mink pelts are of a poor quality
so I didn’t try to do anything with
them.”
“That’s fine, George,” said the
boss.
Then when he had gone, the em
ployer turned to the father and
smiled.
“You probably noticed,” he said,
“that Jim ddn’t do as he’s toid,
Frank does as he’s told, while
George does without being told.”—

Who Would Hide the Faults of His Town Rather
Correct Them Is a False Friend to the Community
' Every now and then some panic-stricken person shrieks to
hf§h Heaven that the Jews are rapidly getting control of the
United States.
When Henry Ford opened his attack on the Jews every
wiseacre whose province is to settle the affairs of nations on
the street corner, said that settled Henry. If he ever had
political ambitions he might as well abandon them
Then came the cry of the Ku Klux Klan —a large, influential
and secret organization was needed to keep the Jews in check.
An examination of the facts, however, show the absurdity of
all this ringing of the i id. m. Of more than fifteen and a half
million Jews in the world only 3,602,150 live in the Unitod
States. Of these, 1,643,012, representing 29 per cent of the
total population, live in the City of New York. The .heart of
the big town, Manhattan, houses 657,101. Brooklyn has 604,380.
The strongest percentage, 38 per cent of the residents, is shown
in the Bronx, where 278,169 Jews live and have their being.
The majority of the Jews in America are quartered in the
large cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland,
St. Louis, Pittsburg and, let us not forget, Detroit.
More than 67 per cent of the world’s Jews live in Europe,
according to the year book for 1923-24, compiled by. Harry
Schneiderman. Poland contains 3,500,000, Russia 3,113,066, the
British Empire 795,466, Germany has 615,000, Hungary 498,000,
France and its possessions 411,500, the Irish Free State 5,161 r
the rest being found in Czecho-Slovakia and Austria,.
It is interesting to note that in Palestine there are only
83,794 Jews, so that so far as America is concerned, New York
may truly be said to be the new Jerusalem.
When Japan’s earthquake easts gloom over thousands of city flap
pers because it spelled a jnmp in the price of silk stockings, it is easy
to sense the Intricacy of our business machinery. Also we see how
Providence turns even our vanities into influences that work flat peace
and the inescapable advancement of mankind.

New England Editor Show* Advan
tages Which Dixie Has Over His
Own Section in Textile Industry.
Atlanta, Ga., October 18.—Much
has been said and written recently
about the growth of the textile in
dustry in the south and the many
advantages that obtain in this sec
tion over the New England states.
But it has remained for E. Hovard
Bennett, one of the publishe-. of
the American Wool and Cottor. Re
porter to add the last word in an
address before the Rhode island
Purchasing Agents Association,
which is being made, public here by
cotton mill men.
Mr. Bennett begins his address by
calling attention to a million and a
, half order that recently was placed
in the south by Henry Ford after
having considered British and I.ast
ern competition. He then proceeds
to show that the south is not c nly
coming into ascendency in this
country, but that it is rapidly tak
ing away trade in the orient that
once adhered exclusively to New
England mills.
The result is, he says, that there
are now thousands of looms idle in
the east, with no new developments
in that section, while millions of
dollars are being invested in new
mills in the south.
A group of mills recently were
sold at Lancaster, S. C., at a re
puted price of $55 a spindle, says
Mr. Bennett, who declares that he
can offer a Rhode Island mill con
taining 80,000 spindles for sl2 per
spindle, and there are no takers.
Twenty years ago there was prac
tically no cotton goods manufac-
Jewish Control Only a Bugbear
THE NEWS-HERALD, L.wreneeWH#, G«otf»#
I tured in this section. Today there
! are 15,000,000 spindles in the south
and 18,000,000 in the east.
The mills that • have moved south
and that have been built in this sec
tion, it is estimated, represent sl,-
000,000,000 of cotton goods and
$500,000,000 per annum in wages.
At S2O per spindle it represents an
investment of $30,000,000 and when
taxed at an average of S2O per
SI,OOO it represents $6,000,000 per
year in additional taxes for this sec
tion, to be spent in education and
other things that make for general
progress. And “the worst of it is
that this is not history,” says Mr.
Bennett, “but is a current ’ condi
tion. The mills are going south to
day.”
The New England editor also re
futes the old myth that operatives
in southern mills are illiterate. He
says he has visited all of the more
important mills and finds that the
children as well as the old people are
all able to read and write. Their
educational facilities ace better than
around the communities where they
live and their living conditions with
in the mills superior to the sanitation
prevailing in the average school
room.
There is not a mill operative in
the south, he says, who cannot speak
English, and this means that the loss
from wastage and inefficiency is re
duced to a minimum as compared
with the mills in the east where there
is a babel of tongues and a polyglot
intermixture of races.

HORDE OF POLE CATS
STORMS VIRGINIA TOWN;
CITIZENS ARE IN PANIC
Winchester, *Va.— Business has
almost been blocked at Stephen
City, a thriving Frederick county
town, eight miles south of here, by
the appearance Sunday of a horde
of skunks, or pole cate. Where
they came from in such large num
bers no one seems to know. And
that is harrassing the town council,
the police force, the county board of
health and school trustees.
The presence oi tne pests has dis
rupted business, and it is feargd
schools will have to be closed up.
No less than sxty of the animals
have been killed, but they seem to
be so numerous, especially in the
suburbs, that the attempted exter
mination has had little effect upon
their numbers.
Come in and look them over; you will be
pleased. The prices are right—quality unques
