THE most profitable crops.
Mat y farmers, banker- and husi
n, s men have an idea that c niton
is the mo-1 profitabe crop which can
be grown in this section of the
count! y. So it has become of g- ner
al belief that unless a farmer plants
a contain acreage in cotton he will
be deprived of a ready money crop.
1" years gone by this was true, no
c ut. hut in these days and times
of enp divi: -ification and rotation,
cotton is one of the least important
crops to be grown.
The statistic from the agricultural
department’lor 1923 shows that the
per acre return from cotton amount
ed to $26.24 while that retuurned
from the following crops per acre
show a wonderful increase in value
over cotton. Here are a few figures
which are worth reading and consid
ering :
Irish potatoes, show a per acre re
turn 6f $112.00; sweet potatoes,
$63.84; tobacco, $193.30; sorghum,
*57.27; sugar cane, $195.20: pea
uts, $35.33; watermelons, $19.57;
antaioui ".. $87.90; ,cu unbers
160.00.
These records speak for : :em
,elves and should he satisfying to
the farmer who has the belief that
cotton is the only product which can
countrybe grown in this section of
the country as a redy money com
modity.
The sooner we reaji/.e that this
country is not solely dependent up
on cotton for our ready money, the
sooner will we become independent!
and prosperous. There are many i
crops which can be grown hi this
state of far more value than .hat of
cotton. The time is coming when I
cotton will be a very small part of;
' I
the agricultural industry of this
state and section of the country, j
Ther will always be a demand
ton and if the production is not
greater than demand, the pric will
remain at a profitable figure. Let
us not malp* a mistake this year and
over plant on cotton. It is better
to have a short crop and receive a
living price for it than to have a

SINT AND WONDER FI L. <
Some things are sill er than others,
and to a good many honest people
there really is nothing more like
mush than the custom of sending a
| valentine.
But to other people—the ones who
are wearing their first pair of long
trousers, for instance, or the r first
pair of ear rings—nothing is more
exalted, more noble or more fitting.
Children used to think it smart to
send horrid, ugly pictures, which
their elders who should have known
better called “comic” valentines, to
their friends. These . pictures dwelt
on all the mean trails of humanity,
and never mentioned any good ones.
It is an encouraging sign that there
aren’t so many of the-e astrocioua
bine, for sale any more. Children
lowadays are better brought up than
he last generation was.
But there is that other kiipl of
aldntine with frilled, lace paper,
hearts and rows, tenderly tinted
ibbons «.! sweet verses —they don't
ci -. t, t s out of style in the least.
‘lf y Jove me as I love you,
“ „ e can cut our love in two.”
'h= was one of them. Sentimen

Don’t laugh, you grownups. Surely
one day a year can he spared fed
puppy love. Palpitating hearts of
innoeense, go gather your rosebuds
while you may!
F.UILI) A FOUNDATION, TOO.
There was a sign in a savings bank
window the other day which said:
If you dream castles in the air, save
a foundation under them.”
Once there was a young man who.
had always dreamed of being weal
thy. As a boy he pictured himself
dressed in the height of fashion,
snappy cut to his clothes, and all
that, walking down Main street.
People on the sidewalk would point
him out, saying, “Yes, there’s Sam
Green, young fellow, but smart. Yes,
sir, smart. Owns that big house bn
the hill, and has got a good pile salt
ed down already. Must be worth
$100,000.”
So Sam, as an initial step toward
wealth, saved, and after a time
leached his first goal, the SI,OOO goal,
after which, ’tis said the money just"
grows.
But about, this time Sam got a girl,
and then _ he wanted to make a
splurge. He wasn’t going to take
her into any little two by four house;,
he was going to have that house on
the hill. So Sam began looking
around for ways to help that sl,oos
grow, and like many a thrifty, hu‘t
too impatient young man, bought
wildcat stock. And the SI,OOO was -
gone and with it Sam’s dream of the

McADOO CLUB HAS BEEN
ORGANIZED
The friends and supports of '.Viiji

organized a club in this county. It.
is headed by Judge Andrew J. Cobb,
former Supreme Court justice and
one of the most prominent an i best
known citizens in the state. 'I he
members of the club have commenc
ed activities in securing membership
and already several hundred have
authorized the enrollment of their
names. The Clarke county cluo
promises to be one of the first of
the state by aiding in giving McAdoo
an overwhelming majority in th,is

Notwithstanding the effoti.- of re
publieians to draw the nami of Mr.

testimony •.which was volunteer,, has
set at. rest any question of ciitictsms

Conservative in his views; sound
in his policies he holds the admira

for his honesty and fair dealings.
Regardless of the trumped-up
charges as to his connection with

hown to the satisfaction of all fair
minded people that his skirts are
