Official Organ Gwinnett County, City of Lawrenceville, U. S. Court. Northern Di.trict of Georgia. Entered at the Post Office at Law jenceville, Georgia, as Second Class Hail Matter, under the act of Con gress of March 3rd, 1879. The Griffin News and Sun speaks an axiom when it says “Heads are like gasoline tanks in one respect they won't take you any place when empty.” The farmer who thinks he will get a cotton crop by this year with out having to fight the boll weevil, because so far few weevils have been in evidence, is doing some foolish thinking. However, the pois oning of the weevil has just about become a science in Wilkes county, and the cotton growers have made up their minds to make around ten or twelve thousand bales, weevil or no weevil. And they will probably do it. —News-Reporter. “According to ‘Good Hardware,’ the following order was recently re ceived by a well known seed firm: •‘Please send me one dozen straw berry seeds, ten square yards of grass, siic wall flowers with sections of watt and one safety lawn mower and plow combined. Send also enough baskets to hold the straw berry and plum crops and back combs for the honey. The grass should be green, and the seeds a flavor unpopular With the chick ens.” | l J A Burke county farmer is said to have made a profit of ten thousand dollars last year on a farm of less than four hundred acres. His suc cess is attributed to the fact that he rotates his crops and plows under green crops on a portion of his land each year for fertilizing purposes, thus putting humus into the soil so necessary for plant life. He gets good dividends in the increased pro duction of cotton, corn and small grain. If all farmers would follow his example Georgia would become one of the most prosperous agricul tural states in the Union. , The Washington News-Reporter has been backed up in the objection to the Georgia delegation in con gress taking care of such parasites as Grover Edmondson and Mrs. Lytle, in ail candor and truth they have done nothing meritorious enough to warrant them a responsi ble job. Such as these destroy any service they enter and weaken the public respect for the government office holder. Every congressman from this state should be asked the plain question if they endorsed eith er of these birds for a job. We hope Thn- Siroa-Reporter wiil keep up the woHr. We are ready to stand with them on the matter.—Bainbridge Post Searchlight. Lee A. Langley, representative from Floyd county, is consistent and persistent in his advocacy of four year terms for state house officers, the Governor to be ineligible to succeed himself, and biennial ses sions of the legislature. The majori ty of the people of the state are no doubt in favor of such a change and would welcome such a law at the hands of the coming legislature. The Macon Telegraph suggests that pos sihly the “members of the General Assembly enjoy their annual visits to Atlanta to such an extent that they cannot be dissuaded from them, even to the extent of only skipping every other year, and that this is the main obstacle to cutting down the expenses of government by sav ing about SIOO,OOO on the Legislat ure every two years.” Occasionally we are told by some man shopping around on a piece of printing that he can get it cheaper in Atlanta or Athens, says The Wal ton Tribune, but the fellow doesn’t stop to consider the fact that the things he is selling might be pur chased in those places cheaper, also. This reminds us of the Wisconsin editor, who after being hammered about on prices for his work pro ceeded to sit down and indite the following:: “If bids are to be asked of us it is natural that we fall in line with the custom. On May 1, I will be in need of the following ar ticles: Two pairs of silk socks, size 11, for Sundays; one pair of good wool pants for every day; six white handkerchiefs for use when needed; one peck of good potatoes, un sprouted; one round steak, two pounds, not dead too long; two white sheets for use in bed when radio is out of repair; one pair of house slippers; two packages of ko dak flms and some souvenir photo graph post card views of local scenes, and one quart of molasses. Sealed bids may be sent to the edi torial offices at any time. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDEN TIAL NOMINATION. After atwo week’s session, at New York, John W. Davis, of l\est Virginia, was chosen to bear the tanner of democracy in the great contest with its enemies which will be settled at the November elec tion. Mr. Davis is the ablest man bal loted for in the convention, and the best equipped to discharge the du ties incident to that high position, and his candidacy will bring all the warring factions together in enthu siastic harmony. The people of Georgia were over whelmingly in favor of the nomina tion o! William Gibbs McAdoo, and at the close of the action of all the state in naming their delegates to the New York convention his nomi nation appeared to be practically as sured. Up to that time his enemies had been unable to make any serious is sue against him, and he, seemingly, was making a triumphant march to the goal, but immediately following his great victory in the Georgia pre ferential primary, the arbitrary, un just, undemocratic and usurpatory conduct of his campaign managers, Bell, Randolph and Hamilton, in re fusing, absolutely, to permit his friends in the several counties of the state who had led the fight for him, to have any voice in naming delegates, and in holding a secret meeting, behind locked doors, in the Kimball House, and naming all of them themselves, from a list pre pared largely by leaders of the Ku Klux Klan, they created a storm of indignation in this state which has not subsided to this good day. Unfortunately for Mr. McAdoo, his campaign managers procured a letter from him unconditionally en dorsing what they had done, but, be perfectly fair to him, we do not believe that he knew anything of this usurpatory conduct of theirs, but the effect of it was to indelibly link his fortunes with that of the Invisible Empire. But to strengthen the force of this charge, Bedford Forrest, of At lanta, one of the highest officials in the Klan, accompanied by other leading lesser lights connected with it, actually went to New York to work for Mr. McAdoo. In nine tenths of the middle and far west states, as well as in all the eastern states, there is the most in terse hostility against the Klan, and the linking him with it made his nomination absolutely impossible, even under the majority rule. In our account of th? proceed ings of the State convention, at At lanta, we expressed the opinion that this action of McAdoo’s cam paign managers in naming a hand picked list of delegates would prob ably bring about this result, and that has been verified. We were extremely anxious for the nomination of McAdoo, and the democrats of this state have been keenly disappointed by his defeat, as we believed that he was the best and strongest candidate in the race, and could sweep the field, but in view of these later developments, the final action of the national con vention appears to be fortunate for the party, and has greatly increased its chance for winning the election in November, as it practically in-' sure* the great states of New York, and New Jersey, and two other east ern states for Davis that McAdoo could not have carried. We do not think that the Ku Klux Klan issue should have been made, nor that legislation, either by the states, or congress for'its supression is either necessary or desirable. All that talk in the national con vention about “religious liberty” was the worst sort of tommyrot, as the Klan never interfered with the privilege of the Jews or Catholics to meet and worship in their own way without the slightest molesta tion, but it is the absolute right of any organization, either secret or public, to vote against the members of any church they see proper to. In 1856, the American, or Know Nothing party, was organized to fight the Catholic church. It was a secret political organization with its signs and grips, and its slogan was “Americans shall rule Ameri ca,” and down with the Catholics, and no efforts were made to sup press it by legislation. The demo crats just knocked the filling out of it at the polls, and it died within four years, just as the Ku Klux Klan will, whenever it undertakes to become a political party. In 1836, long before the birth of the American party, intense oppos ition existed against the Masonic or der, the charge against it being that it was asecret political party, with its signs, grips and pass words, and its main objective was to capture the United States government, and anti-Masonic tickets were put out in a number of states, all of which were badly defeated, yet there was no effort made to legislate that or der out of existence, nor to inter fere with it in any way. This is a land of liberty, and he people have bifth a moral and ooliti cal right to organize secret socie ties, but none to violate the penal statutes of a state, and whenever they do that they subject themselves to prosecution and punishment, as has occurred in many instances TOO MANY PUBLIC OFFICIALS. According to reliable statistics there are 2,700,000 employees on the payrolls of the federal and lo cal governments and 700,000 former employees drawing pensions—3,- 400,000 persons who are beng pro vided by the governments with their lving. There are 41 mllion persons in the United States “gainfully” em ployed so that every 12 citizens are supporting otje in office. The amount paid for services by gov ernments —federal, state and local —represented six and one-half per cent of the national income in 1922. This amount was nearly one-half that paid out in wages by all manu facturing plants in this country in 1921.

Simultaneuosly with the tribute paid to the memory and deeds of America’s war president by the demo cratic national convention comes news of recognition of his great humanitar ianism from the other side of the world. To show their appreciation of the life and work of the late President Wilson, whose interest in the near east was manifested on numerous oc casion, the authorities of the Near East relief will dedicate a training center for orphaned and exiled chil dren to him on the Greek island of Syra. Ideals of international peace ai d good-will sutfi as were held by President Wilson, are to be spread through the Near East from Syra as a center of influence No more appropriate n.-emorial it aid be devised to honor ind pel let;.ate the name of Wilson ban the Greek training centev foi : .i!e orphans. President Wilsoa sac :ihced his life in an endeavor to elan irate from the world the can ses ot ore h barbarity as has made exiles and Jipnpns of the Near East’s children.

BY MARTIN CALVIN i Specialist in Agriculture are! Eco nomics, Ga. Dept, of Agriculture.). The Georgia problem is one of fi nance. ' This applies particularly to igiiculture. During the fourteen years last past, we have been purchasing farm products we could have produced -corn, oats and hay, for example. In 1920, report made in 1919 by the itople themselves to the census '.gents, only thirty-seven counties of :hc then 155 reported each a hay and fevagt crop of more than 5,000 tons. 1 i;e counties which led in production >vere: Carroll, 18,600 tons; Walker, 15,100 tons; Houston, 13,100 torn; Cherokee, 13,000 tons; Floyd, 10,500 lens; Sumter, 10,400 tons; Whitfield, 9,300 tons. Cultivated hay and forage totaled 608,590 tons. Of that number, only 127,227 tons were the cultivated product; 172,500 tons were corn for age—familiarly known as “fodder corn.” The latter is cut and cured just as the ears begin to form. Hay Shortage. The writer finds no pleasure in dis cussing “shortage” in crops, but the situation is so Rooseveltian we must meet it in a true Rooeveltian manner —fact it, find the remedy, and apply the same without unnecessary delay. What has been the situation as to hay during the series of years al ready mentioned? I have carefully assembled all the facts for each group of seven years, studied them; then boiled them down to a brief state ment: The government rule is that each horse and mule should have daily fif teen pounds of prime hay. That means two and three-quarter tons a year for each animal. The annual average number of horses and mules on our farms, 1910-1916, was 46,142, so the hay and forage required to taled 1,226,891 tons. If we credit to utilization, in a supplementary way, every available ton of grass or plant as forage, we find an annual shortage not less than 500,000. The annual average of horses and mules on our farms, 1917-1923, was 444,000. The quantity of hay neces sary to the health and working power of the animals totaled 1,219,034 tons. Under the most favorable aspects of Weak Nervous “I was weak and nervous and run-down,” writes Mrs. Edith SeUers, of 4M N. 81st St, East St Louis, 111. “I couldn’t sleep nights. I was so restless. I felt tired and not in condition to do my work. I would have such pains in my stomach that I was afraid I would get down in bed. . . My mother o-mo to see me and suggested that I use CARDUI The Woman’s Tonis I felt better after my first bottle. I had a better appe tite. It seemed to strengthen and build me up. 1 am so ?lad to recommend Cardui or what it did for me. I haven’t needed any medicine since I took Cardui, and 1 am feeling fine.” Nervousness, restlessnsss, sleeplessness—these symp toms so often are the result of a weak, run-down condi tion, and may develop more seriously if not treated in time. If you* are nervous and run-down, or suffering from some womanly., weakness, take Cardui. Sold everywhere. the case, the shortage amounted to 632,000 tons. This is the answer to the oft-pro pounded question: “Why is so large a tonnage of timothy hay, alfalfa* etc., imported into this state every year?” The annual average price of hay per ton, 1910-1916, was $16.54; for 1917- 1923, the annual average price per ton was $20.57. In order to supply the annual av erage shortage, 1910-1916, we pur chased hay, or its equivalent, in the sum of $8,270,000. The annual aver age shortage, 1917-1923, necessitated the purchase of hay, or its equivalent, in the sum of $13,000,000. Seed Land for Hay. We make hay every year, but the fact is we do not plan for an adequate general average yield, per acre. In neither one of the fourteen years, un ler consideration, did we average one nd a half tons of hay per acre. The average yield ought to be raised, as it can be, to two or five tons per acre. You declare that to be impossible. Not so. Our own shortcoming is that we try to make hay without the best seed and without a sufficient quantity of fertilizer per acre. Seeding land for hay is at hahd. The soil should be put in fine condition—ploughed, har rowed and cross-harrowed; 400 pounds of high-grade 10-4 goods, 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 4 per cent potash, should be applied per acre broadcast. Follow with one and one half bushels of clay or unknown cowpeas, broadcast; harrow n, then roll or drag level. You may udd to the cowpeas one peck of Ger man millet or half bushel of Early Orange cane seed per acre. As soon as the peavines are in full bloom, cut the hay, and carefully cure the crop. When the vines are in full bloom, G.—man millet seed will be in the milk —the Orange cane seed about to pass into the dough state. Do not wait till the pea pods have formed, have reached full growth, and have turned yellow. If you do, better leave the ciop on the land as a mulch, for all the leaves will have dropped from the vines, and every time the vines are moved the pods will shed iheii seed. If you harvest an acreage of pea vines when the pods are “in the sere and yellow” condition, you will have a lot of bare vines and stem : and . . mall lot of ever emptying pod-. Roughage for Utock. Loosing to a good supply of rough age for horses, mules and milch cows plant an acreage ir corn for “f rider corn;” plant an .t. reage ' > Early 'Jra’vge cane seed; plant an acr> age i i - \ beans. Cut th c> rn just at point of tasseling; cut the Orange cane when the stalks are covered with a coating of “vegetable wax”—a sugary starch substance-—which shows that the plants are in prime condition for lorage; cut the soy beans just as they ire about to pass into the dough state. I am telling you my individ ual practice and experience. In order to feed the requisite quan titv >rime- hay to the hearses and mules we have on farms this vear— -461,00 must produce not less than 1,268,750 tons. In addition to that, we ought to plant judiciously with a view to ample provision for the milch co-w and other cattle.
