Raising Home Supplies
“We have time and again
tried to impress upon our readers
the necessity of raising home sup
plies, especially for the present
year,” says the Farmers’ Union
News. “The man who plants
his entire crop in cotton is the
man who will be seriously injur
ed by so doing. The battle for
better prices in cotton is not
yet over. We have won advan
tageous ground in many respects,
but the enemy will not surrender
nor have they left the field
in disorder. They have only re
tired to prepare for a more ter
riffic engagement. The members
of the Farmers’ Union, as well as
the farmers who are not members
must prepare for one of the hard
est fought battles that has ever
been known in the commercial
world. This will be a battle of
thousands of farmers with mil
lions of bales of cotton, against
hundreds of speculators with him
dreds of millions of dollars back
ing them. The conflicts in which
Napoleon was the champion, and
the great battles between the
Confederate and Union armies,
were but mere training, the mere
preparation for battle, as compar
ed with the conflict that is now
confronting the Southern farmer.
Shall we appeal to you in vain?
We trust not. We hope that the
farmers of the South in the past
t'qur years have learned u lesson
which will not be forgotten by
them, and that they will be equal
to the situation confronting them
the coming season and be prepar
ed.”
To Superintendents of M. E.
Sunday Schools in Chattooga Co.
I have been thinking of trying
to organize a County Sunday
school convention since I attended
the state Sunday Sshool Conven
tion last summer at Athens, Ga,
and saw the many benefits to be
derived.
I would appreciate a personal
letter from each superintendent
in the county so we could arrange
to met at the most convenient
place and talk the matter over.
1 feel that Sunday school work
is the greatest work for the ad
vancement of church and the
Lord’s cause and should be im
proved in this county and I know
of nothing so good as a conven
tion to meet and exchange views
and improve Sunday school work
Yours truly,
E. A. Harrison.
Rev. A. F. Mahan of Trion was
among the visitors here Tuesday.

A Corn Growing Country.
From all sections of the South
comes the news that farmers will
this year plant more corn than
ever before in the history of the
cotton belt, says an exchange. In
many sections corn-growing con
tests have been started, notably
in South Georgia. Some of these
contests are fostered by newspa
pers, while, in a number of in
stances, county divisions of the
Farmers’ Union have the matter
in charge.
What is one of the most en
couraging .signs of this step on
the part of the farmers of the
South is the fact that it bespeaks
that a season of prosperity is
ahead for them. For they will,
if they raise their own feedstuffs,
save the money that they would
have to send away, And that
saved money can be used at home
for improvements, for tin- neces
saries of life and for luxuries.
There are several reasons why
more acreage will be given to
corn this year, One is that cot
ton sold low last year. Another
is that for many years past farm
ers of advanced ideas have been
teaching their brothers that it
was false economy to plant cotton
to buy corn to feed stock to raise
more cotton to buy corn and
these lessons are beginning to be
listened to and heeded.
If the season is half good for
the crop, and there is as much
planted as reports say, there will
be plenty of Southern corn next
fall, and Southern farmers will
not be dependent upon Wsetern
grown grain for their supply.
Then the money obtained for the
cotton will be ‘‘velvet,” and the
Southern farmer appreciates best
of all what that means.
“Whenever I reach any deter
mination with reference to my
future, which in any sense con
cerns the people of Georgia, I
will very promptly take them in
to my confidence by public an
nouncement.” In addition to be
ing a tacit announcement that he
has outlined no definite political
cinrie for the future, the forego
ing statement, given out by Gov
ernor Smith constitutes a very
interesting portion of an em
phatic denial of ; recent article
appearing in the Macon Tele
graph to the el feet that he will
either be the next governor ol
Georgia or will name the man whi
is,” The article in question was
sent out from Atlanta and quoted
the governor as having said to a
friend, “I will either be the next
governor of Georgia, or I will
name him. It looks as it Ive
got to be a candidate again. I n
less all sides join 'ii making Mui
phy Handler Mr. Brown’s succes
sor I will be in the race.” The
governor classes the interview as
a “fake” and says that while he
can not take time to contradict
all newspaper stories about him,
he feels called upon to deny the
rumor appearing in the 1 ele
graph.
That one single provision of
the Payne tariff lull the one im
posing a tariff ot 20 per cent up
on potash salts will cost the
farmers of this state approxi
mately $400,000 annually, is the
opinion of Commissioner of Ag
riculture Thomas G. Hudson, as
expressed in a general discussion
of the proposition to revise the
tariff. "A careful study of the
Payne tariff bill,” said Mr. Hud
son, “has convinced me that it
it should go thru, that instead of
lightening the burdens of the
fanner, it will serve to increase
them. The feature of the bill
which proposes to place a taritt
of 20 per eent upon potash salts
will cost the farmers of this state
nearly $400,000 annually. Os
the potash salts annually consum
ed in the United States, about
98 or 99 per cent is imported
from Germany. Potash is a con
stituent of all complete fertil
izers and the burden ot the taritt
would fall upon the farmers It
would hit the farmers of this
state hardest because Georgia is
the largest consumer of commer
cial fertilizers in the I lilted
States."- Atlanta Georgian.
