It is the general belief that there will be ashortage in the pea crop this year. It is said that the drought in California has reduced the crop in that state wonderfully and that the famous' 'California black eyed pea will be a scarcity this fall. Cali fornia is a gTeat pea producing state, and with a short crop the de mand will be such as to cause the price of peas to reach an unusual level. The soil in this section is pecul iarly adapted for abundant pea crops. The cost of producing peas i 3 less than that of any other food crop. Now that there will be a scarc ity of peas, the farmers iri this sec tion will make no mistake in increas ing the acreage in peas and erecting kilns for drying the crop which will protect the peas from the weevils and other itemaging causes. Texas is "another state wh'ch has grown rich off the peacrop. It has been developed, and the land on which peas are grown is brought up to * high state of cultivation and fertility. If California and Texas can profit from the pea crops in those states, certainly the people of Georgia can do likewise While peas have been raised quite successfully in this state, yet thee rop has not been given the attention it deserves and the importance of the crop has never been realized as it should be The matter is worth considering and those who have idle land will find it a profitable investment to grow peas instead of some other pro. duce which is already plentiful and a drug on the market. If you have not planted peas, do so and try the experiment. It will prove a profitable one and one from which the farmer will be able to realize ready money on every bushel. THE PERVERSION OF TWO “INTELLECTUALS" Those two boys in Chicago, Leo pold and Loeb, are evidently moral and sexual perverts. The atrocious crime they com mitted in kidnapping and murdering th fourteen year old boy Franks ap parently has no other motivating cause than the urgins of disordered and misdirected minds. We do not here wish to be misunderstood as even hinting that these super-crim inals are crazy to the extent that even resembles irresponsibility. They knew exactly what they were doing. They know now what they have done. Posing as super-intellectuals they ate densely ignorant—ignorant of the way 3 and responsibilities of the world—ignorant of the value of hu man life—ignorant of the fact that money and prominence are not worth half so much as character and honesty. Reared in an atmosphere of wealth and luxury, where every whim is gratified, with few if any moral re straints thrown around them, pam pered and petted, spoiled and waited on, the dignity and nobility of useful effort spurned, is it any wonder that perverts are all too rapidly spawned in our congested centers? Examples of indolence, idleness and selfish indulgence are becoming everywhere very apparent. These evils destroy character, moral stam ina, and make for criminality. The Chicago example is proof enough to convince those who want to be convinced. And remember this, parents are often responsible—nearly always— for the waywardness of their off spring, and the more money they have the less attention and time they give to the inculcation of sane, moral principles, and the promotion of high and healthy ideals. Goldsmith, in “The Deserted Vil lage,” set himself down as a prophet of valuable vision when he so truth fully wrote the following lines: “111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.” —Dalton Citizen.

RULES OF SUCCESS FOR GEORGIA FARMER In a stirring address to the mem bers of the Kiwanis club at Jackson, J. \V. Vaughn, of Cartersville, suc ce-; full banker and merchant, sum med up in twelve words the rule of success for the farmers of Georgia. These, he said, are: Study your job. Work twelve months. Feed the soil. Live at home. Soil fertility is one of the great est needs of the country, M. Vaughn pointed out. He declared that the present condition did not originate in 1920, but had its origin forty years ago. He blamed the tenant system, absentee landlords and a de. pleted soil brought about by a one crop system, for many of the trou bles of the farmer and business man of today. “The cheapest thing in the coun try to day is human life. The high est thing is sweat. It is impossible to legislate sweat out of labor,’’ Mr. Vaughn declared. He said the curse of the country ia politics. TALE OF A CITY. The Devil was walking down The Great hite Way in New York one balmy May evening, and in the traf fic jams of taxis forgot to watch his tail, so interested was he in the cuties. A big Rolls-Rough auto came along and cut off his tail. His Satanic Majesty was very much pained—in fact, he lost much blood—and was very weak. A thoughtful bystander suggested he be carried into a nearby drugstore, and it was done. Whereupon Uncle Sam’s prohibition gents swept down upon the place and pinches the whole kaboodle. The chadge was “Re-tail ing weak spirits.” Living Costs and Wages. The latest report of labor statistics, made public here, shows that on the average the cost of living in the Unt ed States in March of the present year, was 05 per cent higher than in December, 1914. The average compensation paid by ti:e railways to employee: in t -e fis cal year ending June 30, 1915 was J. 830, while the latest wa<e statistics available indicate that the averagi compensation this year !s running at '.he rate of tl 620, an increase over the year ended June 30 1&1.’.5, of 95 per cent. The av.j~.ge hourly wage in the •<&r ended June 30, 19 ’5, was 27 ts, while in February, 1924, it was 04.62 cen‘? an increase of 139 per i me difference between the increases .•rewn in tl • annual an 4 hourly earn ir.«» of employees is, of course, due to (lie :eductions that havr occurred in BANKS OF GEORCIA SHOW RECOVERIES FROM DEPRESSION Atlanta, Ga.—Remarkable recov ery from financial depression has been evidenced by the state banking institutions of Georgia, according to the annual report of T. R. Bennett, state banking superintendent, which has just been submitted to Governor Walker and prepared for the use of the general assembly which meet* on Wednesday. The 534 state banks and trust companies in Georgia, at the close of business on December 2, 1.118. which date is taken as the basis so: the report, showed total assets of $312,450,000, which was an increase over the previous year of $32,000,- 000. These same institutions showed capital increases of $1,101,070; of surplus $1,540,000; of undivided profits of $1,450,000; and of de posits $24,869,000. These figures “show how quickly Georgia can recover from a period of depression, for certainly our state has had all of' the unfortunate set backs during the past, four years that could befall any section of the country,” says the report. The state banking department has jurisdiction only over such banking and trust institutions as are char tered by the secret&ry of state and the general assembly, and its report therefore covers only such institu tions. Mr. Bennett recommends that the state banking laws be amended in several particulars: To limit the number of branches and adjust the directorate. To authorize the banking depart ment to classify assets for the pur pose of determining whether or not they are good, doubtful or worth less, and to provide that the depart ment may require a complete audit of a bank when deemed advisable. To make bank and trust company charters perpetual, but with certain restrictions. To provide for larger directorates of institutions having $1,000,000 capital or more. To provide for the incorporation regulation and supervision of trust companies, so that when banks, by amendment of their charters, obtain trust company powers, such regula tion and supervision can be proper ly exercised. The state superintendent of banks expresses the belief that the condi tion of Georgia banks discloses a conservative trend, but also a sound and gradual improvement. J.

We intend sometime to get some purebred livestock for our farms. 3. We intend to step out and make an exhibit at the community, county, or state fair sometime. 3. We intend to carry ample fire insurance on the house and barn. Let’s really make a start toward purebred livestock. It we can’t do anything else this year, let’s order 100 purebred baby chicks, then sell off our mongrels, and next fall have nothing but purebred poultry. That will be a start toward better things. Then we can buy a purebred sow and we can join that goodly company of farmers who have sworn an oath to have “a purebred sire for every thing born on the place.” Later on we may get a purebred cow, and by using only pure bred sires gradually grow into the class of farmers who have nothing but purebreds on the farm. The Ohio evtension forces re cently advertised in a free sideshow “The Most Expensive Bull in the World,” and when interested spec tators got inside they found—a scrub! The scrub in any line is real ly the most expensive sire: let’s get away from him. Next, about that fair exhibit. As Dr. R. J. Noble says: “I have been at fairs and heard people say, ‘lf I had known no better things than these would have been shown, I would have brought mine.’ ” That is said every year. There is great fun in deciding now for what prizes you will compete next fall, and making progress and watching progress all the time from now until then. The man who carries off a blue ribbon at a fair cannot help feeling a little more pride and self confidence af ter. And fire insurance. I have a let ter now before me which says: “I had the misfortune of losing my home and everything I had by fire, the result of which has made it impossible for me to get on my feet again to do any farming until I can secure employment to raise money with which to pay taxes, interest on government loan, and current bills.” That is an old, old story. Count less thousands of farmers after get ting fairly well started in life have been burned out and forced to- start life all over again—and too late for them to “come back.” It is a trage dy—and one the rest of us should by all means try to avoid.—Clar ence Poe, in The Progressive Farm er. gdff and Hsad Ford..
