HOMERVILLE, GA ., FRIDAY, ADR 8, 1910.
Southern Farmers
The sfceck »f meney in this eoun
try,is today approximately $3,130
■000.000. Ten years ago it
$2,340,000,000. This is a gain
$790,000,00#, or appioxiinately
per cent.
Anthoritive staiistics show
the 1909 wheat crop was 8.3
bushels per capita, again.** 8
bushels ‘en year* ago; the c®rn
erop dropped from 34.9 to 30.9
bushels per capita; the oat
from 12.4 to 11.1, bushels per
capita; the hay crop from 1 ton to
l of a ton per capita; and the hum
ber of food animals, swine, cattle
and sheep, fell reum . o 1.9
capita.
In the matter of treat s the •
eminent returns issued on the 25,
of January show, under the heaii
of swine (hogs), that the total
supplies in 1900, of 54,000,000 fell
to 47.000,000 in 1910. a decrease
ot nearly 15 per cent. Other cat¬
tle in 1009, 49,000,000, felR to
47.000,000, iu 1910.
The number of cattle killed mi
d°r the inspection low of the Uni
ted Statef in 1907 was 7,(521,7! 7,
in 1909 it had iallen to 7,325,337;
during the same period there was
an increase in the number of cal
VeR killed from > ,7(53,5 7 4 t® 2, 04(5-
773. The receipts of hogs at the
markets fell 23.8 per cent from
1908 to 1909. When the panic of
1907 came on many of the
in the West sold their hogs be
cause food was too high to feed
them and these brooding herds
have not been replaced.
In the matter of the production
of fruits, tnc leader and standard
(because it keeps longer) apples,
in the United States have fallen
from (53,000,000 barrel Is in 18(55
to 21,000,000 in 1909!
Here is money per dollar de
Creasing in its purchasing power
because of a 30 per cent
in column. Here is nn
deficit in the field food crops per
crops p-r capita. Here is a mar
ked decrer.se in hogs and enl.tln
.-apply. I.eic is a (Increase in the
leader amour all the fruits (apples)
ol approximately 70 per cent.
On the top of all this is an in 1 -
erage tariff of (50 per cent on all
foreign food stuffs.
As a resuit of nil these things—
the increased supply of money,
the decreased supply of all food
stuffs, and the tariff—the prices of
beef, pork ;and its by-products,
mutton, chickens, eggs, butter and
milk, and all other food products
taken on an average have
been as high as now, ban-in of
course the war juices of the 60’..
Is not this the southern farmers
go!den op portunity.
The Telegraph mis shown in
pevious articles that in I860,
when the population in Georgia
was 1,057,286 there were in this
slate 2,036,4 id hogs, in 1 007,
with a population of 2,700,000
there wore only 1,599,000 hogs.
b it,h the population more than
doubled, the number of hogs
been reduced nearly one half.
‘1 he"Telegraph has slrewn that,
in i860, there were 290,688 milch
cows. I n 1907, 303,0CC— u in
increase only of 8,312. That in
1869, there were oxen and other
cote c. 795,194. In 1907, (581,000
decrease of 2(5,194. Thar, in i860
there were 512,618 sheep. In 1907
269,000—a deci-iuse of 243,618.

crime for r the lax Collector or his

shall have actually made the oath

Titer* is absolutely as
way in which the Georgia veter
lawfully qualify himself to
vote, excepting by the taking #f
the oath before the Tax Collector
or his clerk,
If you pat your name to one of

the oath before the Tax Collector
or lus clerk you are not legally re

Fanners Union, will deliver an

decreased to 269, o*o—a lass of ap¬
proximately one-hall. That in
199u, Georgia owned 354,618 milch
cows. In 19o7 th# number fell to
3o8,ooo—a loss of 46,(518.
Asi of these 'figures are amazing
but they are collected front the
most reliable sources. Th«y call
to th© farmer with irresistible elo¬
quence and force. They cry aloud
to him to plant less cotton and
more grain; to raise mere cattle
and hogs not as a patriolic thing,
but as a profit-making business
It is the farmer’s opportunity!
