Dearing School Closes
May 30th.
The Dearing Junior High School,
with two hundred and sixty pupils,
will close the school year May 30th.
The exercises will begin at 2:30
P. M., consisting of songs and drills
supplementing the graduating exer
cises. The following pupils have fin
ished the Junior High School course
and will be given diplomas:
John C. Adams, Mary Alice Cul

The County Board will be present
and deliver the diplomas.
This is the only Junior High School
in the county. That they are doing
good work is borne out by the fact
that two pupils from this school en

took first and second honors last
year.

THE BONUS VETO.
President Coolidge did exactly what
he said he would do with the bonus
bill. Ilis viewpoint is based upon
the economic situation, while .Cong
ress handled the legislation from the
political standpoint. The two posi
tions failed to harmonize—hence the
inevitable disagreement.
FORD IS BEATEN.
The question of what the Senate
will do with the Muscle Shoals mat
ter remains undecided. It may be
put down as a foregone conclusion
that the Ford Offer will not be able
to get the necessary vote to carry it
across. Numerous other proposals
that have been received will likewise
fail in securing favorable action from
the present Congress. Meanwhile
the United States is going ahead with
the immense improvements on the
Tennessee River, and no one can fore
tell when the “pie” will he cut. Pow
er interests are preparing for a seige
of what a former President described
as “watchful waiting.”
STICKING BY THE JAPS.
Secretary Hughes is sticking by
the Japanese with tenacious consis
tency. Mr. Hughes is noted for both
tenacity and consistency, and holds
a full hand of these just now. Inas
much as the Japanese are making
less of a howl than is usual with them
when exclusion is the issue in Wash
ington, the chances are that tho mat
ter will remain along “Administra
tion matters pending,” regardless of
what Congress may do about it. The
White House is apparently as anxious
as the State Department to keep the
Japanese feeling comfortable about
their relations with the United States.

PHILIPPINES SUITABLE FOR
RUBBER PLANTATIONS.
Vast tracts of land in which the
soil is suitable for the establishment
of rubber plantations has been locat
ed on territory within the possessions
of the United States Government by
a party of investigators sent to the
Orient by the Department of Com
merce. Nearly 80 per cent of the
rubber produced in the world is con
sumed in the United States and, so
far as is known, practically all is
grown within 15 degrees latitude of
the equator. The Agricultural De
partment says that possession of this
territory within the climatic range
of possible rubber production offers
an opportunity for United ‘ States
capital to engage in one of the most
important industries in territory
within the restrictions of our own
Government.
INDIGNATION.
Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice
President, says: “The indignation of
the American people bears resenv
blance to a bottle of soda water—
uncorked, it fizzes for a while and
then subsides.”

FORFARMERS
Last week more than a hundred
pounds of butter came to Thomson
and most of it went back home or
was sacrificed at low prices because
there was no demand for so. much
butter. The local market was glut
ted. Ordinarily butter is rather
scarce but the new growth of grass
has given an increase in output.
Something should be done to take
care of this surplus and something
can be done if the farmer will shoul
der his part of the job and pull with
the county agent.
There are two plans to be followed,
one is the establishment of a milk
depot here at Thomson and at. Dear
ing where the farmer could deliver
his sour cream twice per week, where
it would be tested, weighed and
bought by a representative of some
arge creamery, and the other is the
establishment of a cheese factory at
points remote from the railroad.
Winfield and Wrightsboro would be
ideal locations for a factory. The
requirements are buildings and equip
ment costing about $2000, at least a
hundred cows, good elevation, good
cool water, a reliable cheesemaker
and 100 per cent cooperation by the
farmers.
The government will furnish a man
to teach some farmer how to handle
the factory’s business and to make
cheese. This will be done free of
cost to the farmer. There are sev
eral factories operating in Georgia
and Georgia cheese is selling for 2c
per pound over New York and Wis
consin cheese. We could easily sup
ply Thomson and sell our surplus in
Augusta.
This is the solution to our butter
problem. Sell it as sour cream or
cheese. Keep the skim milk and
whey at home to fatten pigs and
.chickens; With our constantly .in
creasing poultry industry and money
from our .calves and pigs we could
relieve our minds of that awful boll
weevil dread which is the curse of
this one crop system. If you are in
terested talk it over with your county
agent. He is ready to act. Are
you?

HOOVER CONDEMS PUBLICITY.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
says publicity of taxes would result
in a serious jeopardy to a man’s per
sonal business which may be revealed
to his competitors. Such publication
would be likely to become the basis
for credit rating in smaller business
and the vital factors of character and
reputation would be undermined by
the tax returns of any bad year, the
Secretary says: “This would work
grave injustice on firms undergoing
momentary losses or those that are
unavoidable in times of depression.
It will enable strong competitors to
take advantage of temporary weak
conditions of smaller concerns and on
the other hand, fradulent concerns
would gladly pay a few thousand dol
lars a year falsely disguised as profits
in order to mislead the public. Peo

economic aspects.
REAL ESTATE COMBINE.
The Department of Justice, acting
upon the sensational charge made in
the Senate District committee’s in

investigation into the financial op
erations of real estate boomers,

Atlanta, Ga., May 22.—Real Di
versification in agriculture and indus
try is not merely a sort of fire escape
■from an unfavorable situation, but
is a sound economic policy that should
Be/ adopted and carried out. perman
ently as a means^of maintaining what
might be called a constant level of
prosperity.
This is the opinion of the expei’ts
of the Georgia Department of Agri
culture as expressed today in dis
cussing the farm outlook.
“The old saying, ‘Don’t put all
your eggs in one basket’ is accepted
as pretty sound advice, and although
some wiseacre is said to have re-
nlied that he did not put. all his eggs
in one basket, but watched that bas
ket, it is a good rule nevertheless
that several varieties of resources
contribute to more constant pros
perity,” said .T. J. Brown, commission
er of agriculture.
Commissioner Brown pointed to
the fact that if the people produce
principally only one crop, or operate
principally only one industry, lean
years that are bound to come in these
particularly lines will hit hard.
“But if we have several varieties
of industries or several principal ag
ricultural crops,” said the commis
sioner, “It is hardly likely that all of
them will suffer at the same time.”
Atlanta business men, manufac
turers and civic leaders here take the
position that the entire state should
look and work to a really construc
tive program of greater diversifica
tion in agriculture and industry alike.
The opinion was expressed that the
state should strive systematically to
develop major resources along a num
ber of lines. «
It v/as pointed out that there has
been much talk of diversification, as
applied to the individual farmer, who
has been urged to grow a lot of things
besides cotton, and to make his farm
a sort of potpourri. In many cases
where the plan is reasonably follow
ed, it was claimed, this helps the in
dividual farmer to avoid disaster
from a lean year in his principal crop.
The matter of community diversi
fication, however, it was asserted, has
been given a little more .than hap
hazard effort.
“We can assure ourselves'of main
taining prosperity and good times at
a constant level by carrying out an
intelligent, systematic and conser
vative program of real community
diversification ,” declared C. W. Mc
Clure, Atlanta merchant and finan
cier, who has for many years taken
a prominent part in civic movements
of a state nature. ""
NOTES FROM THE
COUNTY AGENT
AGRICULTURAL SITUATION.
Agriculture promises to go into
the current season with the best bal
anced program since 1920, the de
partment ox agriculture declared in
its monthly report on the general
agricultural situation. The planting
season for the whole of U. S. is about
a week late, labor is scarce, and
wages high, but this will not appre
ciably reduce spring planting, the de
partment says.
POTATO SLIPS.
The year 1923-4 has been a most
unusual potato year. A statement
from the Department of Agriculture
quoted potato prices as being higher
than at any time in the past 10 years.
The increase in price was due to A
sho/t crop, and enormous losses dur
ing our bad winter which closed last
week. The plant sellers bedded the
most expensive seed they have ever
bedded, and about one-third rotted in
the beds. The late season delayed
the first crop and now the wholesale
price is $2.00, or twice what it was
a year ago. This accounts for the
delay and breaking of contracts on
the part of the grower. To date there
has been 103 thousand delivered at
Thomson for $1.85 per thousand.
Prices are on the upward move and
now stand at $2.00. The principal
plant growing towns, Baxley, Tifton
and Ty Ty are flooded with buyers
from all-over the South who came to
buy at any price. We have a few
beds in McDuffie pretty well up. H
those who have a surplus will send
me their names I will try to distri
bute these plants among your neigh
bors who need them. It has been
estimated that the south will produce
19 per cent more potatoes this season
than last season. Probably too many
to insure good prices.
CHICKEN SALE.
Our fourth chicken sale will be
celebrated June 4th, and steps are
being 1 taken to mak? this the biggest
sale and the biggest day Thomson
has had this season. Double pa^e
circulars arc being printed and will
be distributed over this and adjoin
ing counties. The majority of the
banks and merchants are joining
hands in an effort to help the plan of
diversified agriculture by encourag
ing the farmers to produce other
crops in connection with their cot
ton. The cost of advertising this sale
will amount to nearly $100 all ex
penses counted. The merchants who
pay this bill for notifying the farmer
are helping you double your profit*
on poultry. They deserve your pat
ronage. Help those who help you
to help yourselves. We reached our
quota easily the last sale and should
do all in our power to keep up this
record. Put up your chickens one
week before sale date and fatten
them for June 4th.

Mrs. E. W. Rhoedn died at her

at 12:30 o’clock, after only a short
illness. She was stricken about 11
o’clock Sunday morning while cook

sciousness. She was 67 years of age.
She is survived by her husband and
four children, as follows: Mr. Chas.
Phodcn, of Augusta; Mr. Watson
Rhoden, Mrs. Mollie Hartley, Mrs.
Lula Smith, of Thomson.
Interment was at Sweetwater cem
etery Monday afternoon.
PEANUTS.
Peanuts brought good prices last
year and there will be a slight in
crease in the state this season. If
the farmer could realize the chances
he takes with so much cotton, the
busy knock of the cotton planter
would cease and the remainder of our
acres would go into sweet potatoes,
soybeans and peanuts. This county
has been exceedingly lucky for the
past few years but that rainy year
is bound to come and. with it goes all
profit of the previous y ars. It may
be this season, here. It came to
Southwest Georgia last season. The
wise farmer will not put all his eggs
in one basket or his hopes on any one
crop, be it cotton, or any other.
LAREDO SOYBEANS.
There has been something like 50
acres of Laredo soybeans planned for
McDuffie this year. Seed are selling;
now for $17.50 per bushel, and indica
tions are that they will continue to
climb the scale. This county has
been lucky in securing a couple of
bushels from the Georgia Railroad
free which have been placed with re
liable farmers who have promised to
return seed to the railroad at 2 bush
els for one furnished. These will be
used over by the Toad for demonstra
tion purposes another year. For a
good article on the Laredo read the
May 15th issue of the Southern Rur-
alist, where Mr. B. W. Bleckley made
$1200 from 1 bushel of Laredo bean
seed. The Larado’s value at present
lies in its importance as a seed crop,
later it will replace cowpeas as a hay
crop on better grades of land. Cow-
peas will be grown on poorer soils.
Thomson Boys Lose
First One.
The semi-professional Railroad
Shop team of Augusta came Tuesday
and played the Thomson H’gh School
team. The score of 10 to 5 in favor
of the visitors wasn’t anything at all
for them to brag about, for every
man on their team v/as a star in semi
prof circles. The home team did
some fine work, despite the face that
some of the boys were a little timid.
If every player had been working as
usual they would have held the vis
itors to a closer score and might have
won.
Lokey, for Thomson, was the only
player knocking a home run. It is
regrettable that the boys didn’t show
up better on this occasion, but it is
quite certain they will do better next
time. Be it said to their credit that
this was the first game the boys have
lost this season.
