TOBACCO VS.. COTTON.
(The Gwinnett Journal.)

King Cotton is just about to be de-
thrOned in Decatur county. And this
condition is not surprising when it
is known that in this county last year
there was raised over 100000 pounds
of tobacco. All of the shaded tobacco
brought from 60 to Is cents per pound.
1t requires an expenditure of $3.50 or
$500 per acre to produce shaded tobac-
co, and usually about 1000 pounds of
tobacco are raised to the acre.
Sixteen miles from cambridge is
located the Cohn Tobacco Syndicate,
at Amsterdam. This plantation is said
to be the largest tobacco farm in the
world, employing over 5000 hands.
Since it has become an established
fact that Decatur county alone pro-
duces more tobacco annually than the
whole state of Georgia, the lands in
this section known to be tobacco lands,
are bringing fancy prices. Hon. w.
e. Smith who has a plantation ten
miles below here, was offered $115,000
for his place few days ago, but re-
fused to accept 1t.

department and the experimental sta
tions and generally informed himself
as to his duties as a farmer.
Attend any agricultural meeting or
farmers institute and you will see
present the men who raise their own
farm supplies and have credit at the
banks. The men who will not go
out to these meetings are those who
are farming in haphazard way and
may or may not succeed.
There are men who have made
themselves what they are, but it is
rare that one such be found. Educa-
tion by absorption is good thing and
many Of our best farmers learned
what they know from others. They
can best learn by attending farmers
meetings and exchanging experiences.
We venture the assertion that Mr.
Pierce is a great reader of farm lit
erature and never fails to attend any
meeting where he is likely to learn
something about farm life.

SOUTHERN RESTLEsSNESS,
(Southern Farm Magazine.)

NOOuIu0fH fdrm Magazine
It is estimated that within the past
40 years at least 2,5OO,OOO natives of
the south have made their homes
elsewhere, and that at present there
are at least 100000 of them absent
from the south. The deficit is being
made up by constantly accelerating
movement Of men of other parts of the
country toward the south at the rate
Of between 100000 and 300 900 a year,
thanks to a long-sustained and intel
ligent campaign made largely by the
railroads Of the south. This move
ment Is bound to overcome to a great
extent the restlessness of southerners
within the south
How great that restlessness was dur
ing the last quarter OF the 10Th CEN
tury is suggested by the fact that in
1900 while 4.963,624 natives Of the IA
southern states and the District of
Columbia were living in states where
they had not been born. the IA states
and the District had within their bor-
ders only 3,456,368 natives of other
states than the states OF their res
idence "a balance aggregating 907256
against individual states. The unfa-
vorable balance aggregating 2,065,-
460 was against nine states, as fol-

be the greatest factor in solving the
south's prosperity.
Suppose the farmers generally had
been in the condition Of the one in
question and carried out his plans, or
a part of them at least? Cotton would
have been fifteen cents now instead of
ten or eleven cents.
With this plan every farmer owns
and controls his own warehouse. He
holds as long as he pleases. He sells
when he gets ready; no storage
charges to pay. He is absolute mas
ter of the situation. If the farmers
throughout the cotton belt would adopt
this plan the financial world would be
at their feet.

THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.
(The Coffee County News.)

A news item in one of the big dali
les last week should cause every farm
er in Georgia to take notice, says the
Nashville Herald. The item is to the
effect that farmer in northeast Geor-
gia is the champion cotton holder of
the state. He has held all his cotton
of the last three crops and is still
holding it while he is planting a
fourth crop.
Now it is not for us to say whether
or not it is the best financial policy
for the farmer in question to hold his
cotton SO long. He may have not
made any money by the operation.
The thing that impresses us is, that he
is ABLE to hold 1t. And he is able
to hold it for the reason that he raises
every bushel Of corn, every bale of
hay, every pound Of meat and every
thing else that a farm of that section
can produce to support itself.
The northeast Georgia farmer Is not
the only one in the state that raises
on the farm the necessities for the
farm. Many others in that section
and numbers here in south Georgia
do the same thing, but his plan, or
mode Of procedure in preparing him
self to hold his cotton, is the key to
the whole thing. This plan, If fol-
lowed by the mass of farmers, will

Fathers First Deer Hunt.

Father was telling some of the al
ventures of his hunting days and
Robert was much interested. Did
you ever go on a deer hunt, papa"'

Lots of them" answered papa. I
remember very well the first deer
hunt ever went on. AS boy | used
to see my father and his companions
from the neighborhood bringing invent
son steaks, antlers and hides, and as
soon as | grew old enough to stand up
under a gun, l began to beg him TO
take me with him.
Il kept after him till plagued the
life out Of him, and finally he consent
ed to take me with him on big deer
hunt in the foothills of the Great
Smoky range.
Il was kind of a favorite among the
hunters and they gave me gooq
stand on a big hillside. 1t was on the
edge of a regular deer path, and any
deer that might be jumped was fair
Iy certain to pass by me.
Il had been on my stand about an
hour when | heard the hounds baylng
in the distance, and, judging by their
loud yelps, it was very likely that they
were on a fresh trt~il.
1.-THE deer then would be in sight IN
a few minutes. l began to tremble
with excitement.
Sure enough, a fine buck came
straight up the path toward me,
bounding wenty feet at every jump.
4 Immediately set up yell to the
other hunters on stands near by to
come a-running, here was the game.
They did come a-running.
Did you see the buckle they asked.
"'He just now passed by me- |
said excitedly.
"'Well, why didn't you shoot?' they
demanded.
4 looked down a. my gun. 1t was
the first time | had thought of it. The
hunters saw my face, then lay down
on the ground and shouted with laugh
