GEORGIA IS NOT
A ON E-CROP STATE
BY MARTIN V. CALVIN.
A belief obtains that Georgia is a
“one-crop state.” This is attributable
to the fact that, up to the advent of
the pestiferous boll weevil, we were
second to Texas only in the produc
tion of cotton. The general impres
sion was, and to a great extent is, that
at the peril of all other crops and
also of live stock farming, we ap
plied all oyr energies and all our
credit to the production of cotton.
This is erroneous.
I have been studying the situation
as it existed in 1910, 1911 and 1913,
three pre-war years, when normality
prevailed. I went carefully into the
subject, and compassed it to its last
analysis.
In the spring of 1865 we were con
fronted by a situation and a condition
of affairs to which the present is not
to be compared. We had lost all ex
cept the immortal principles for which
we contended and supported without
•egard to cost or sacrifice of any kind
>ave that of honor. Cotton was the
>ne crop to which we could safely
urn for ready money. Then as now,
it was the only southern crop which
would give any cotton producer
“standing at the bank.”
It is believed even now that the
price of the staple ranged from 50
cents to $1 a pound. That is not tru*.
In ’65. middling upland sold at 43.2 c;
in ’66, 31.6 c; in ’67, 24.9 c; in '6B,
29.0 c; in ’69, 24.0 c per pound. The
general average price during the five
years, 1865-1869, was 30.5 cents a
pound. Other goods, of every kiad,
- high in price, but the people
■ wer* in a confident frame of mind;
they had determined to master the sit
uation, and they did.
Even at that crucial time Georgia
was far from being a “one-crop
state.” No people, in all the worid, in
all the ages, ever measured more ful
ly up to a high standard of worth and
progress than the farmers ill particu
lar and the people generally of Geor
gia and the entire south.
Let -as see to what extent cotton
has 'teen the dominant factor in our
•.progress in the matter of total crop
values. In order to do this, we must
turn to pre-war years because unto
ward conditions did not prevail dur
ing the period for which the years
that I shall utilize, that is, 1910,
1911 and 1913. Bear in mind that in
1911 we produced a real “bumper
crop” of cotton.

Georgia’s miscellaneous vegetables
are worth on farm $3,000,000 a year.
We have yet to raise crops of com
mercial vegetables, i. e., vegetables
to ship out of state. We can do it;
we must do that.
The boll weevil dealt us a blow be
tween the eyes, but we are not either
down or out. During this year of
grace we will produce more cotton
than in the three years last past, and
we will produce more “other crops”
than ever in the history of the state.
It is our duty to do that; we are able
to do that; we can do that; we will do
that. Why? Because it is our boun
den duty to do that.
Turn a deaf ear to the demagogues
and to the croakers, one and all. Look
up and take courage. God rules and
directs on earth as He does in Heav
en. He was the God of our fathers;
they never faltered or failed. We
shall not.

1 A 1 CPICIWE- r
DIET IN PELLAGRA
By.H. Addington Bruce
Of special interest to dwellers in
sections where the disease of pellag
ra still has a foothold, is a report
recently issued by the United States
public health service. It confirms
the dominant part played by dietary
deficiency in causing pellargra, and
more particularly confirms the im
portance of milk ad fresh meat as
preventives and cures of pellagra.
Written by two physicians of the
Health service, Drs. Goldberger and
Tanner, the reports details the re
sults of various methods of treat
ment applied to pellagra patients in
the Georgia State sanitarium. In
eight well marked cases, fresh beef
was utilized as "the only known the
rapeutic element in the diet.”
Four of these paients had previous
ly hpen treated with gelatin, but to
no purpose. When fresh beef was
included in their daily food, they
soon began to improve. In all of
the eight cases curative effects were
obtained.
Typical iss the case of one woman,
aged forty, who developed a recur
rent attack of pellagra in March,
1922. Stomatitis, intestinal triable
and skin disorders, made their ap.
pearanee. On April 7 she was put
on a gelatin treatment, but without
any benefit whatever. A week later
fresh beef was substituted, with this
result:
“By about the middle of May all
evidence of the dermatities Lskin
and gastrointestinal dis
turbance had cleared up. Her gen
eral appearance had very definite
ly improved. Her weight, which had
been tending downward, began to
go up after the beef treatment was
instituted.”
The preventive value of milk was
tested by ssupplementing with forty
ounces of buttermilk daily the diet
of a group of twenty nine inmates
of the santitarium. About two
thirds of these were persons who had
had attacks of pellagra. Not one
of the group developed any sign of
the disease during the year the milk
test was continued. Drs. Goldberger
and Tanner comment:
“Since our rather extensive ex
perience with this class of patients
ins convinced us that withou the
buttermilk, upward of 40 to 50 per
cent of the group would certainty
have developed pellagra within from
three to seven months, the disease in
any of thisg roup is, in our judge
ment, conclusive evidence of the
preventive action of the buttermilk.
“We have here, then, and for the
first time, a direct demonstration of
what heretofore has been an infer
ence from indirect evidence —name-
ly, that milkeontains the essential
pellagra preventive factor or
factors.”
Buttermilk, it may be added, was
used in these experiments simply be.
cause it is the form in which milk is
most commonly consumed in the sec
tion whence the patients came.
Quite clearly, daily usse of milk in
some form or of fresh meat (or both
milk and meat) is to be recommend
ed in all pellagra sections us not
merely a desirable but a most neces
sary health conseving measure.
Which does not mean, Drs. Gold
berger and Tanner hasten to point
out, that milk and meat are the only
pellagra preventive foods. There
may be others, and it would seem
likely that there are others. Future
research alone determine this, and
rpeantime it is good to know that
past research has made available at
least two potent aids in combating
pellagra.

More Than Half of It Is Heal Estate.
The per Capita Wealth Is 52.918.
Large Increase Last Decade.
Washington, April 3. —The wealth
of the nation is $.'520,803,862,000,
more than one-half of which is real
property and improvements. The
per capita wealth is $2,018.
Statistics of the country’s wealth
as of December 31, 1922, issued today
by the census bureau, revealed that
the total wealth increased 72.2 per
cent and the per capita wealth 49.6
per cent in the ten years from 1912.
All classes of property increased in
value in the decade except live stock,
which decreased 6.9 per cent to $5,-
807,104,000. The increases in money
value of other classes of property,
census bureau officials state, are to
a large extent due to the rise in prices
in recent years, and so far as that is
the case they do not represent cor
responding increases in the quantity
of wealth.
The value of the United States
navy is placed at $1,455,992,000, an
.ncrease of 259.4 per cent; privately
owned water -works $360,885,000, an
increase of 24.4 per cent, and gold and
silver coin and bullion $4,278,155,000,
an increase of 63.5 per cent.
Sir Alfred Robbins Is Making an Of
ficial Masonic Visit to United States
Bringing Greetings from British.
Boston, Mass. —Sir Alfred Robbins,
president of the board of general
purposes of the united grand lodge of
England, who has recently arrived in
the United States on a visit to further
friendly relations between Masonic
jurisdictions throughout the world,
was guest of honor at the meeting of
the grand lodge of Massachusetts.
He presented a letter of greeting
from the Duke of Connaught, grand
master of British Freemasons, which
said:
“On the occasion of the visit of
Brother Sir Alfred Robbins, P. G. W.,
president of the board of general pur
poses, to the United States I take the
opportunity of conveying through him
to the brethren of all jurisdictions in
friendly association with the united
grand lodge of England my fraternal
good wishes and sincere desire for
iheir continued happiness and pros
perity. It is my earnest hope that the
tenets of our order may assist still
further to strengthen the bond of
friendship and goodwill, which so
happily exists between our two na
tions, and I shall watch with sympa
thy every endeavor to promote those
feelings by the development of Free
masonry in its purest and highest
aspects.”
Former Vice-President Thomas R.
Marshall. 33 degrees, thanked Sir Al
fred for the message and greetings
and emphasized the necessity for
friendly relations between the United
States and England by declaring that,
as the peoples speaking the Anglo-
Saxon tongue predominate in world
affairs, it behooves them to save civil
ization from another devasting war
by cultivating the friendliest of rela
tionships. He declared Freemasonry
in a large part answered this purpose.
Sir Alfred visited the quarterly ses
sion of the grand chapter of the Royal
Arch Masons in Massachusetts. He
is a prominent member of the Grand
Holy Royal Arch chapter of England.
Sir Alfred is to be in the United
States until about May 21st and dur
ing his visit will present letters of
greeting to President Coolidge from
Ambassador Kellogg in London, Lloyd
George and other distinguished men
in public life.
Distinguished Service.
Sir Alfred is head of the governing
body of the oldest Masonic lodge in
the world and an eminent craftsman
of very long standing. He was in
vested with this honor in 1913 by the
Duke of Connaught, who also con
ferred upon him the title of past
grand warden, an unusual distinction,
in the united grand lodge of England.
He was made a Knight Bachelor by
King George, seven years ago, in
recognition of his work as a journal
ist, dramatic critic, political writer
nd general newspaper man. He has
just retired after thirty-six years as
London correspondent of the Birming
ham Post.
Sir Alfred, who is sixty-eight years
of age, recently made a speech at a
dinner, in which he stated that he re
called the tolling of the bell for the
death of the prince consort, and all
the details of the civil war in Amer
ica. Also that he heard the famous
speech by Gladstone on Blackheath
on the Bulgarian atrocities, a speech
inspired by the revelations of an
American correspondent. He also
told how Parnell had confided in him
secrets both personal and political.

Manufacturing in South Indicates Pro
duction May Exceed High-Record
Year of 1919—Leaders Optimistic.
Atlanta, Ga., April 3. —Manufactur-
ing here and elsewhere over the south
—as well as generally over the Unit
ed States—is at high tide, it was
stated here today in industrial cir
cles.
Industrial production this year,
manufacturers state, promises to
equal, if not exceed, that of last year,
and last year, it is asserted, made an
unusual record. The high record year
was five years ago, in 1919.
So far this year the output in basis
industries, as analyzed by experts,
show that it is 20 per cent in excess
of the rate of output during the cor
responding months of 1919.
In 1921, figures received show,
output of plants throughout the coun
try fell to a point 20 per cent below
that of the base year. Recovery be
gan in 1922 when production pushed
up to a point 2 per cent below 1919.
The figures cover the output of iron
and steel, textiles, meat packing, coal
mining, non-ferrous metals, leather,
newspaper print, cement, petroleum
and tobacco manufacturers.
Atlanta manufacturers today ex
pressed themselves as highly optimis
tic over the outlook for business.
They say there is a distinct probabil
ity that production in 1924 will even
tually pass beyond the record rate of
last year, jn all southern plants.

Demand for Fruits Growing.
Demand for fruits as a regular
item of food in season is growing
more rapidly than the population, ac
cording to statements made today by
fruit growers. In other words, the
nation is realizing more and more the
great value of fruits as food.
Georgia, alone it was stated by ag
ricultural experts of the A. B. and
A. railway, now has about 12,000,000
peach trees hearing fruits and the
state’s shipment to outside markets
this year is estimated at 10,000 cars.
The next two years, it is estimated,
will see 20,000,000 trees bearing, with
outward shipments of 15,000 or more
cars yearly. In Florida in 19C3, it
was stated, there were only 3,000 cars
of citrus fruit shipped, while the ship
ments this season will aggregate 45,-
000 cars.
The nation’*; markets, according to
shippers, still snap up eagerly all the
fruit offerings from Georgia and other
southern states.
Federal Curb on Sale of Gas.
Both United States senators from
Georgia and nearly all the represen
tatives in congress from this state
have written Attorney General Geo.
M. Napier that they will back the
fight for federal regulation of the
sale of gasoline, which is being led by
the National Association of Attorneys
General, of which organization Col
onel Napier is secretary.
Colonel Napier recently wrote, in
behalf of the association, to all mem
bers of the two branches of congress
and he has not yet received an un
favorable reply to his request.

Sulphur to an itching, burning or

into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema;
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop

cools the irritation and heats the eczema

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound.” You will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
ly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri
tating Acids
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is diffi
culty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because thev can’t control urination.
While it is’ extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so thev no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
mal again. . . . ,
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by acid irri
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever. _
Here vou have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
By all means have votir physician exam
ine your kidneys at least twice a year.
