THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA
LARGESTCORN CROP
IN STATE’S HISTORY
DUE TO REDUCED ACREAGE COT¬
TON CROP OF STATE IS SMALL¬
EST SINCE YEAR 1878
STATE NEWS Of INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Sections Of
The State
Atlanta.—Diversified farming was
practiced to a considerable extent in
Georgia during 1921 and as a result
the largest corn crop in the history
of the state was harvested, says the
report of the United States bureau of
markets and crop estimates issued
from the headquarters of the agricul¬
tural statistician for Georgia.
The report showed also that due to
the reduced acreage planted, the cot¬
ton crop in the state is the smallest
since 1878. The bureau of estimates
placed the production of cotton in
Georgia for 1921 at 720,000 bales.
Prospects for good acreage yields in
various products have been lost, due
to adverse conditions, the report says.
Continued hot, dry wather through
the late summer is said to have caused
the deterioration. It is reported that
average yields of most crops have
been reduced to less than the ten-year
average.
The corn crop, however, made an ex¬
cellent showing. The total corn pro¬
duction is estimated finally at 87,975,
000 bushels, 83 per cent of which is
of merchantable quality.
A slump in both the average yield
and total production of tobacco is
noted. In 1921 the average yield pen
acre was 564 pounds per acre as com¬
pared with 600 pounds per acre in
1920. The total production is 9,474,000
pounds as compared to 16,020,000 in
1920.
Sweet potatoes average 75 bushels
per acre, giving a total production of
1.725,000; last year production was 1,-
682,000, with an average yield , of 74
bushels.
“Shocked and stunned by the evils
wrought by the one-crop system,”’ the
report, says, “the farmers of Geor¬
gia diversified this year more than
ever.
“Of paramouunt importance is the
record corn crop. Georgia farmers
produced this year a record corn crop.
More land is under corn than in any
other southern state excepting Texas;
and Georgia thas three-fourths as
much corn acreage as has the Lone
Star state. And she has as much land
planted in corn as has North and
South Carolina and Florida combin¬
ed.’’
Reports on other crops are contain¬
ed in the bulletin with a general ten¬
dency toward inferior crops as com¬
pared with the 1920 yields.
Beats Boll Weevil
Quitman. - The boll weevil may
tvreak havoc in most places in south
Georgia, but occasionally there is
some patient farmer who gets the best
of him and comes through with a
wonderful cotton crop. This is the
case with Lyman Parke, a colored
farmer living about a mile from Quit
man. He has a half .acre of the best
cotton ever seen in this section. He
has already picked 320 pounds from
this patch and now it has bloomed and
is full of new bolls, and he expects
to get a second crop even better than
the first. He hand-picked the wee¬
vils and burned them early in the
game and has been well paid for his
trouble.
Zoning Plan For Atlanta
Atlanta.—A complete zoning plan for
the city of Atlanta has,been complet¬
ed by Robert H. Whitten, consulting
expert to the city planning commis¬
sion, and submitted to Mayor Key.

city hall to act finally on the plan
and make recommendations to city
council.
Syrup 22 Cents Gallon In Moultrie
Moultrie.—Syrup is selling on the
Moultrie market for twenty-two cents
a gallon in barrels, as low a point
as it has touched within the memory
of the present generation. The bet¬
ter grades are selling for twenty-five
cents a gallon. Syrup in bottles and
cans bring more. The cane crop this
year was nearly ruined by the dry
weather, but the carry-over from last
year’s crop is said to have been enor¬
mous.
Cordele To Entertain Epworth League
Cordele.—The Cordele district Ep¬
worth League meet will be held in

GOVERNOR’S RESUISIT ON
IS STOLEN OR LOST
Hancock Sheriff Cannot Bring John
D. Walker Back To Georgia—
Asks For Another Order
Atlanta.—That the requisition for
John I). Walker, issued recently by
Governor Hardwick, was stolen or lost
i'rm a registered package mailed to
the governor of Texas, was the asser
iin made by Sheriff J. M. Jackson,
of Hancock county, over long distance
telephone.
Sheriff Jackson was named by Gov¬
ernor Hardwick as the agent of the
state of Georgia to bring Mr. Walker
from the state of Texas to stand trial
in Hancock county on an indictment
charging larceny of the city of
Sparta’s sinking fund from the vault
of the First National Bank of Sparta
when he was president of that insti¬
tution a few years ago.
Governor Hardwick sent the requi¬
sition to Sheriff Jackson by special
delivery letter on the night of Oc¬
tober 22. It was the governor's un¬
derstanding that the sheriff would pro¬
ceed with the requisition to Austin,
the capital of Texas, and present it to
the governor of Texas, and ask for
the surrender of the fugitive, which
is the customary procedure is requisi¬
tion cases.
But Sheriff Jackson sent the re¬
quisition with other papers by regis¬
tered mail, he slated over long dis¬
tance, when tie was reached at Sparta.
“I sent a transcript from the audi¬
tor's report on the affairs of the
bank,’’ said the sheriff. “It was the
evidence on which the indictment was
returned. In the same envelope I put
the requisition and the warrant at¬
tached thereto, and sent it by regis¬
tered mail to the governor of Texas.
About a week later I received a letter
from the governor’s secretary inform¬
ing me that the package had been re¬
ceived, but that it did not contain the
requisition or the warrant, i cannot
explain how they were lost unless
somebody intercepted them in the
mails, opened the envelope and took
them out, then scaled up the envelope
again.

CALOMELUSERS
ARE SALIVA1ED
Next Dose of Treacherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.
Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen longue and exces¬
sive saliva dribbling from die mouth.
Don't trust calomel. It Is mercury;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti¬
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod¬
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate, you, while If you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per¬
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

It You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal .^reparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case ft shows excellent re¬
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.”
According to, sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al¬
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles find neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
