Monday is January Ist., 1923.
Wbat will your New Year resolu
tions bet May. Obey be right and
auui leu tu vwin i euacity and suc
cess.
Next Monday will be a legal hoi
iday as well as a judicial day—
court. Commissioner's
court, meeting of County Board of
Education. And thus will the
new year be ushered upon the
stage of activity.
The best grade of upland cotton
is now quoted on the Savannah
market at 28e.,-and it may go to
30e. However, this is no indica
tiou What it will sell for in the fall
of 1923, aud farmers should not
put all their 1923 eggs in the cot
ton basket.
The Christmas presents have
been purchased and forwarded to
delight the donees. Now Dad will
soil his temper, perhaps, in paying
the bills. The Christmas season
should breed no grouches. The
angels sang, “Peace on earth, good
will to men.’4|
The Dawson News remarks: “The
folks who write it ‘Xmas’ ought to
be taught that it is perfectly all
right to put an ex on an ofiicehold
er but not on Christmas.,, That’s
a fact, but when one associates a
cross with the Christ it- is very sug
Restive. It is the point of view
that counts.
Soon the folks will be chasing
the prosperities of 1923. Oh, that
they bad planned to overtake them
monthly-*-not au impossibility in
Atkinson county or in any other
part of South Georgia. Then pros
perity would prosper, and the voice
of the grouch would be hushed in
this God favored section.
The new year just in front of us
is one free from political activity,
and the Tribune is glad it is so.
The old year will soon pass out, and
the people will be confronted with
the tasks of the new year, 1923.
Let all the people face their duties
and obligations with strong resolu
lions to make good. Pessimisim
will retard rather than help you
on the journey through life. Come
on and let’s go!
The Ft. Valley Tribune-Leader
credits the defeat of the Senatorial
District amendment to the State
constitution, creating the new dis
trict to be composed of Berrien,
Cook aud Lanier counties, to Mac
on county citizens in their furoTe
against Peach county. Well, may
be so. The Tribune is sure the
fight against Peach county had its
influence in that direction aud —it
did au innocent people a great in
justice.
The Christmas holidays have
past—the folks, old and young,
have had their usual good times.
Pearson people have had a season
of good cheer, springing from a
sense of helping others and bright
ening the lives of those who are in
distress or otherwise would have
been cheerless and despoudent. To
help the helpless, and brighten the
lives of those in distress is, after
all, v the science of life, and brings
to us a larger proportion of happi
ness.
The United States congress is
asked, in a paragraph of the agri
cultural bill, to appropriate $32,-
000,000 to the building of good
roads, primarily post roads. The
outlook is that Georgia will be
able to match her proportion of
this fund from the motor ear tax.
which promises to be more than
$2,000,000 for 1923. The two'funds
will provide the State Highway
Department all the money it can
Bpend judiciously in the building
of permanent roads in 1923.

HON. WM. L. PEEK.
The recent death at bis home in
Conyers, Rockdale county, of Hon.
William L. Peek, recalls the doings
of thirty years ago when Populism
cut a wide swarth in Georgia poli
ties.
Mr. Peek, during those days, was
at the head of the Farmer’s Alii
ance and, although it was under
stood to be a non-political organiz
ation, he led hTmself and his
followers into that brand of politics
known as the "Third Party,"
which gathered its inspiration from
Thomas E. Watson, William J.
Bryan and other lesser lights. He
represented his county in the State
legislature arid was a candidate for
governor of Georgia on the Third
party platform of “Free silver,
Government Ownership of all Pub
lic Utilities and especially the
Railroads, the discard of the Elec
toral College, and other political
vagaries equally as untenable.
However, the Third Party soon
run its race and passed away, and
with it William E. Peek retired to
bis home and farm, and practicably
dropped out of politics and of pub
lic view. Few of the present gen
eration know -anything about him.
He was in the eighty-sixth year
of his age at the time of his death.
The merchants of Pearson en
joyed a good trade during the hol
idays but it would have been bet
ter had they advertised in their
local paper.
-'lke B. A. Thomas stock and
poultry remedies, put up in Padu
eah, Ky., are for sale by D. Wea
thers at Axson. Read the adver
tisement which appears in the Tri
bune every week. Those who have
used these remedies in tit is section
say they are reliable.
AROUND THE CIRCLE.
Dr. J. H. Prince, a young physi
eiau of Kingsland, Camden county,
ended his life Monday afteruoou
by shooting himself through the
head with a Winchester rifle. His
act is attributed to continued ill
ness caused by an automobile ac
cident. Ho is survived bv his
young wife.
Miss Alberta Clark, stenographer
for the law firm of Parker & Parker,
is distinguished by being a member
of the Waycross legal fraternity,
and the first woman to be admitted
to the bar of that judicial circuit.
Her examination for admission bo
forejudge Summerall was passed
most creditably. She will remain
in the oTiiee of Parker & Parker
for the' present.
Judge Bryan, of Fulton superior
court, has refused the petition for
Mandamus brought by the advo
cates of Peach county to require
Secretary McLendon to certify -the
result of the late* election, after
throwing out the vote of those
counties making irregular returns,
to the governor in favor of ratifica
tion. He says the question is a
judicial one, and one which was
uot before him for adjudication.
The Shrine circuY has a ten-days
engagement at Waycross. Their
tent will Uo located on the triangu
lar block, formerly occupied by the
LaGrand Hotel. There will be
many local and foreign attractions
to be offered d tiring the ten days’ en
gagement. The Shriners will ush
er in the New Year with a spirit of
gaiety that w ill last in the memory
of the inhabitants for a full twelve
months.
The Waycross Dairy Association
is now a completed organization
with the following officers: J. T.
Hopkins, president; W. N. Smith,
first vice-president; Seymour Phil
lips, sceoud viee-piesideqt; 11. A.
StaHings, secretary and treasurer;
Dan Lott, F. D." Hereford, W. L,
Smith, A. .1. iVforan, J. A. Strick
land, H. M. Peagler, L. B. Cole, J.
A. BoonerJ• V. Gowen aud J. K.
Larkins, directors. The directors
are prominent citizens of Ware
and adjacent counties, and it is
hoped they will be active in soli
citing their neighbors to co-operate
in advancing the industry which
they are organized to promote.
The Tribune w ishes to see many of
our farmers engage in the cow, bog
jand poultry industry.

New Spots on the Sun.
Pittsburg, Dee. 27. —Hundreds
of persons in western Pennsylvania
particularly those living in the Mo.
uougabelaand Ohio river valleys,
iu the vicinity of Pittsburg today
saw iu the center of the sun a small
round black dot. Astronomers at
the Alleghany observatory said it
was a new group of suu spots,
made visible to the naked eye by
reason of a dense fog which over
hung the entire regiou. The fog,
they explained, acted much like a
smoked glass, aud made the spots
very plain which in ordinary at
mospheric conditions they would
be unobserved. So heavy was the
fog that trains were delayed and
traffic on the rivers tied up.
Through it the sun, at times, ap
peared like a great copper disk
with the spots clearly defined.

What Shall Our Farm
Program Be For 1923.
When it conies to formula!ing a
“farm program" for making our
next crop, we are probably less
certain as to what we should or
can do than for many years past.
Crop diversification has become
almost a by-word to those interest
ed in agrieuHiurp, but some types
of diversification have failed to paj
the taxes on the land and send the
children to school. This creates a
strong tendency tp fall back into
the old “ruts.” Personally, we be
lieve there is danger in following
either extreme. The man who tried
to diversify too much is likely to
get too many ‘'irons in the fire,"
and thus fail. While the fellow
who tries to put all his “eggs” in
one “basket” stands a chance of
loosing them all.
Every line of agriculture requires
a certain amount of equipment to
do effective work. Unless the
farmer is very careful, iu trying to
carry too many lines, his equip
ment will far exceed the returns
from his crops. State diversifica
tion and community specialization
has a number of desirable features.
Especially is this true where a
community specializeson its money
crops and diversifies on its crops
for home consumption. If the
farmer grows enough food and feed
supplies for the occupants and live
stock of the farm, the remainder of
the energy should then probably
best be directed towards the pro
duction of aboft two money crops.
In some communities these crops
are asparagus and peaches, in others
hogs and peanuts, or cotton and
peppers, etc. Where such conunu
nity specialization is practised
buyers are attracted -and the pro
ducts more easily sold. Canning
factories, pricking houses.of other
manufacturing plants can be more
’easily established, and it is certain
that, on the average, the more
nearly finished into a consumable
or manufactured form a product is
before it leaves the farm or com
munity the more profitable it is to
the producer.
SPECIALIZED FARMING BY THE
INDIVIDUAL.
Near the large centers of popula
tion there are always opportunities
for specialized farming on the part
of the individual, such as the pro
ductiou of certified milk for in
fauts, the production of poultry
aud eggs foryestaurantsand hotels.
special truck crops as early toma
toes, celery, and head lettuce; or
certain fruits as grapes for dessert
purposes and for making unfer
meuted juice.
COTTON' IVI.AN’TIN’G IN 1923.
We recognize that cotton has
been and will be pie State’s chief
cash crop. We know’, also the
cotton growing, under boll weevil
conditions, is more or Icss-a gamble
and we should not increase the
odds against ourselves.
The increase in “price of cotton
along with unsatisfactory results
with some other money crops has
created a desire for a very greatly
increased acreage in cotton for the
comiug year. Here is where we
need to take xvarning. An increase
iu acreage, if more is put in than
can be worked according to moderh
methods, may mean a positive de
crease in yield-, for large areas of
cotton grown by old methods of
culture means more boll weevil
feed, but not necessarily more cot
ton to the grower.
No outlined program can be ex
pected to fit a very large number of
farms. Only the grower himself
cau arrange the number of acres he
should plant to each crop. On the
average farm in the Piedmont re
gion a three years rotation of corn,
small grains, aud a cash crop seems
to be nearest suited to our needs,
%
Perennial crops such as alfalfa and
kudzu can be grown in fieltjssepar
ate from the rotation. Such a ro
tation will provide most of the
farmer's needs for food when com
bined with livestock farming, in a
small way. and a good garden.
There should be no need for buy
ing feed for the live stock. This
rotation also offers an opportunity
for soil au improvement program
such as is necessary if farming is
to be made profitable in this region.

Cow peas or velvet beans can be
grown in the corn, the small grains
can be followed by cowpeas or soy
beans, and oats or rye planted iu
(he cotton. These crops should all
be turned under lor improving the
land, except where they can be
profitably pastured. Live st’oek
should be kept under sheds or in
small lots, aud the manure care
fully saved.
LOOKING TO THE ITT; *E.
One year agriculture is poor
agriculture, just as one year ten
ants- In planning for the future
we should therefore have txvo
fu ime objects in view; one to es
tablish perennial crops, as peaches,
pecans, asparagus, alfalfa, etc., to
become remunerative later; and
the other to establish some soil
building policy that wail make our
farms richer year by year. This
e,m probably be done most econom
ically by properly terracing the
land and then adding to its fertility
by growing and turning under
green manures 'and the various
forms of crop refuse, supplemented
by all the available animal manures
on the place, and a reasonable
amount of commercial fertilizers.
Profitable farming is most easily
accomplished on fertile soil.
