TELEPHONE No. 28.
That Georgia is "some” farm
ing state is shown in the recent
figures given out by the national
census bureau. James D. Price,
commissioner of agriculture, a
close follower of any information
relative to farming, points out
the Georgia figures that are es
pecially interesting. He says
that the census shows that in
Georgia 1,160,126 persons work
for a living, and that 734,366 of
these are engaged in farming.
Farm operators number 285,247,
of which 270,476 are men and
14,771 are women. There are
43^,091 farm laborers, of which
222,566 are men and 195,333 are
women. The report shows that
there are 30J dairy farms, with
546 laborersand twenty foremen.
In his reply recently to a com
mittee which urged an extra
session of the legislature, to deal
with the present cotton situation,
Governor Slaton showed wisdom
and a regard for economy of the
funds, that has called out a great
deal of praise- The Governoi
showed first that no law could
be passed to curtail the cotton
crop, which would bear the test
of the federal courts, and to call
a session merely to adopt reso
lutions calling for federal aid
would be a useless expense. He
told the committee that the mat
ter was squarely up to congress.
He said the southern represen
tatives were fully aware of the
south’s needs, and they should
go ahead and get action at once
without delaying or beating about
the bush. -
The farmers of this section are
are becoming somewhat alarmed
oyer the prospects of meeting
their obligations this fall. Cotton
is all that they have to depend on
to pay their bills, and what now
seems most puzzling to them is
whether or not the staple will be
in demand, at living prices, be
fore they will be forced to put it
on the market. Surely no one
can be accused of taking advant
age of the present crisis, but
every precaution is being used to
prevent, if possible, an opportu
nitv of this kind being used.
Judge Graham will be petitioned
to postpone the adjourned term
of Wheeler superior court, which
is set for the second Monday in
November, until the war clouds
claar away. The petition is be
ing circulated now and is being
liberally signed. The signing of
the petition does not mean any
more than to voice the sentiment
of tie farmersinthe postpone
ment of any litigation th it might
arise at this session of court, that
coul 4 , and very likely would, be
avoided under normal conditions

Georgia is represented in the
European war by a thousand or
so faithful soldiers, fighting on
all sides. They are the Georgia
mule, and indespensible adjunct
to every army. Ever since the
war broke out mules have been
in greater demand. It has been
the same in sli wars. The Boer
trouble took thousands of long
eared wagon pullers from Geor
gia, Missouri and Tennessee,
and now every day sees its steam
er load of mules departing for
Europe The mule possesses one
great value in war—he does not
bother his mulish head aboi t
noise, smoke or smell, while
horses are in a panic and dashing
madly about the battlefield.
