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.

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. PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 29. 1922 COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE NEW BETI/EL.

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. Dissolution Notice.

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. Pearsoii Tribune I Bv T. ALLEN, Editor. .

A yearns subscription would | be a pleasing gift to relative or * friend who has moved to other \ sections. i 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. / 11. I’. ><n ( Key, Director. 866 cures Malarial Fever. . Inactive Liver “1 have had trouble with an inactive liver,” wrote Mrs. S.
