The movement to celebrate today,
February 18th, which is the anniver-
sary of the settlement of Georgia by
Oglethorpe, has grown wonderfully
during the past six or seven years,
and it has been urged that this year
the schools throughout the state,
with all the patriotic societies, have
some special exercises cOmmemOra-
tive of the states foundation. A pro-
gramme for the day was made out by
former State School Commissioner
Merritt, and certain facts in it can
but stimulate the imagination and
patriotism of the children. Among
these are to be noticed especially
resolutions adopted in 1907 by
Joseph Habersham chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton:
Resolved, That we hereby re-
quest all Georgians to assist us in
impressing these great facts upon
the minds of the youth of this state,

COTTON PLANTING THOUGHTS.

Now is the time to think about
the price of cotton next fall. BY
diversifying crops and properly re-
stricting the cotton acreage the total
yield can be kept in limits where the
price will be satisfactory. That is
really the only sure way of playing
the game. The spectators have all
along tried to brighten the farmers
with two bugbears-first, that the
mills had supplies to last two years;
second, the mills would close down
Well, an idle mill is a dead loss to
the oWner-it cannot be turned into
anything else; whereas, the farmer
can change his cotton factory into a
corn, oats, hay, potato and pork fac
tory. and still manage to get returns
for his inve~tment and his labor.
Hence if the farmer will but in
diligently regulate his prices by the
law of supply and demand there can
be no reason outside of his lack OF
cohesiveness why he should not win
the day.

fourth of their contents is sand and
that the remaining portion fails to
come up to the standard fixed by
the pure food and drug act of 1906
seven varieties of chicken food now
being sold in Georgia have been ruled
out of the markets of this state by
Commissioner Hudson. The state
chemist reported that on analysis he
found that the amount of sand in
the feeds ranged from 22.01 to
1852 per cent of their total sub
stance, meaning that in every ton

to $17.75 was being made in dirt.
He also found them to be lacking in
protein and fat making qualities, and
above the standard in fibre.

SOME SOUND REASONS.

The Union News, the official paper
Of the Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union, prints some resolu-
tions that were adopted by one OF
the local Unions of the state against
foreign immigration, and from which
we make the following extract:
That they are not used to
our laws and customs. We nave
some immigrants here. We
know how we like them. They
are not good neighbors. They
are not used to our way Of farm
ing. They go in colonies. They
do not like to be with us. Just
suppose that they are all right,
nice, good people. II they were
they would never come over
here without something. Then"
how many more hands have we
than we had before? We do not
need them here to help us make
laws or to help govern our
country. If we can't get the
best people we don want any

opposing the movement to empty the
scum of other nations into this coun-
try. The News has always opposed
immigration, and nothing has
been done or said since the agitation
was begun in its behalf in Georgia

1t is particularly cOmmendable that
the committee gave no heed to cam
paign claptrap, in which the early
primary was condemned as an enemy
to the farmer vote and another re

knows now, just as the state CON-

one primary was better than two,
and that the so-called appeal for the
protection of the farmer was cIaptrap
