Profitable Farming.
Six Hundred Dollars from an
Acre Of Land.


State Agriculture! Society, MIR F. }
Merriam, who runs hillside farm
near Atlanta Ga, ip the course of an
interesting talk made the following
ststemar,
elf a man will but study his ground,
he will find it to be folly as entranc
ing as the study Of books Through
marriage became connected with a
small 1arm. With my brother in law
broke ground in 1898 to meet the
market demands in Atlanta That
year l made only $500, but the S1l5
which | received from 250 hills OF
Gu cumbers convinced me that | was
on the righ. track The year my
sales went up to $l,934 80 | got
$500 from one acre which had
planted in potatoes The next year,
1895 I marketed $500 worth OF
vegetables This year found lettuce
to be the best seller, getting S79l 40
on the article. 1t was in 1896, how
ever, that struck luck and gained
the foal conviction that there is
money in the land wheD the farmer
studies bis surroundings. In that
year | sold $5.068 worth Of stuff, OF
which $764 80 came from lettuce,
1868 from turnip salad and s404 90
from beets. | keep books strictly.
and find that costs me exactly one-
third of what | raise to pay the
necessary expense, including repairs.
In 1897 prices were low and the
more ordinary vegetables were in
demand. but even under this
stringency made $4,738 70
OF this. $500 SIS came from
three acres planted iu potatoes,
1898 80 from beans aud 1920 55
from ,urnips In 1898 found
market still Oppressive, but m-uc
that year 81, 704 20, of which 1922 80
came from turnips salad and $66l
from collards
"This year, Notwithstanding the
very bad season we had in the spring
months up to the lst of August 1
have sold s4,l3S SIS worth, 5000 OF
! which came from one acre planted in
cabbage, and | intend to pocket a
round $4,000 this year out of my
little farm
Georgia soil under system OF
deep blowing and thorough tlllage
will produce fine crops. Cur red
clay subso:is are rich in plant food
The Georgia Chopper mas been
blowing for years down to what he
called the hard and this same hard
| subsoil has been absorbing all these
years the plant food from the chin
layers of cultivated ground as it was
packed down BY the heavy rains,
until today it is ready by the magic
Of modern improved farming to yield
up it's riches in crops that will
as,opish the civilized world We
have striking examples of this in the
farms scattered here and there over
the State, which appear like GASES iu
the desert of surrounding barrenness
Farms where thrift is the order of
the day, and the owner looks person
ally after every detail, are object
lessons of what we may expect when
the community at :arge becomes
better educated IN modern farm
methods Aud the fact that these
successful men are stilf progressing,
that their crops are growing larger,
their land richer and their net profit
at the close of the year shows a
corresponding Increase. goes to prove
that no limit can be placed upon the
productiveness Of our soil and the
wealth and prosperity, as an ag7icui
tural community. tbat we may finally
aspire to !"

Is MADE IN VAIN

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE shipment Of
arms and ammunition from this city to
South Africa for use by British forces
against the Beers last Tuesday caused
Consul Charles Pierce of the Orange
Free State TO file protest with Secretary
Of State Hay in Washington. To-day
Mr.. Pierce received note from Mr. Hay
declaring that the Department OF State
could not take action in the premises.
According 10 the authorities cited by
the Secretary of State in case of war, bel
ligerents have the right TO purchase any
kind Of goods in n neutral country, sub
ject 10 confiscation after shipment. AS
the Beers have no navy and no port of
entry the ruling is decidedly advanta-
geous TO the British.
Last Monday l received a letter from
DR.. Hendrick Muller, Envoy Extraordin-
airy of the Orange Free State at The
Hague" said Mr.. Pierce, calling my at
tention 10 the shipment by a cartridge

ENGLAND THREATENED
BY THE FRENCH PRESS

PARIS. Dec. 16.-For the first time this
week Parisians met hoarse-voiced news
vendors running along the boulevards to-
day shouting Crushing defeat OF the
English" Great victory for the Beers"
and displaying the front sheets OF their
papers bearing big headlines. The Eng
Iish Routed" etc. The French people
heard and read the news with interest and
discussed the British defeats in the parks
and cafes without a display OF sorrow or
sympathy for the British. but at the
same time without any outward demon
stration Of gleeful satisfaction that could
be regarded as offensive 10 the British
spectators. The violently "Anglophobs
press" such as La Libre Parole and La
Patrle, naturally treat the British dis
asters as joyful tidings, but the respecta-
BILE Journalistic Temps, lie Journal des
Debats, La Liberte and others-discuss
the news soberly and moderately.
lie Journal des Debats expresses admi-
ration at the wonderful calmness and
sangfroid with which the British nation
has met blow after blow. The paper con-
cludes its article with the remark that IL
would be a heavy blow 10 the social or
ganizatlon OF Great Britain II Chamber
lain's venture brings her 10 conscription.
lie Temps also comments upon the
weakness OF Great Britain's army 10
