Crops Here and Elsewhere

The Wall Street Journal shows
that the wheat harvest of the world
will go to 3,500,000,OO0 bushels, and
this is an aggregate in excess of the
fOur-year average. The wheat crops
of all European countries are promis-
ing. These crops have greatly i'm
proved of late and in some of the
European countries the crop is ad-
vanced beyond the danger of damage
by unfavorable weather. France
alone of the great wheat growing
countries will need some wheat,
while India, Australia and Argentina
will be able to supply the customary
demands of Great Britain, Belgium,
Holland and Germany. The world
will not go hungry even if there is
to be small spring wheat crop in
this country
This cOuntry's crops still promise
we'll. A large winter wheat crop is
nearly harvested and all things point
to great corn crop in the North and
a great cotton crop in the South. If
present expectations are met in the
fall returns this country will not
only have enough to eat, but it will
have large SURPRISES to export. Uncle
Sam is farmer who believes in di-
versification of crops. His spring
wheat crop may be cut down by
drouthy weather, but he has other
crops and some of them are of great
magnitude.
1t is far too early to assume that
the years output of crops will be
small. A great corn crop and a
great cotton crop could easily make
good any deficiency arising from a
lessened supply of spring wheat. We
will have little or no wheat to sell,
we will have enough corn, cotton and
manufactured products to turn the
balance of trade in our favor, or
rather to keep it in our favor for ex
ports are at present exceeding i'm
ports and this will no doubt continue
to be the case indefinitely hereafter.

TO STOCK OWNERS.

Many stock owners will be inter-
ested in a pure salt brick, which is
great improvement over the old plan
of giving rock salt. 1t is as neces-
sary for their health and comfort
that stock have salt when nature
calls for it as for people to take salt
at meals. This salt brick, which
weighs about three pounds, is placed
loose in the feed box. 1t is made by
the Blackman Stock Remedy Co.,
facture medicated salt brick, COM
posed of the purest dairy salt, sui
phur, saltpetre Copperas and nux
vomica, as prescribed by a graduate
of the American Veterinary College
of New York, for the ordinary dis
eases of animals. 1t is better and
cheaper than stock powders. When
stock most need medicine, they are
least inclined to- take it, and the
medicine placed in their feed takes
away their appetite just at time
when they need nourishment. 1t is
ais true that when stock feel badly
they crave salt more than at other
times; therefore Blackman's system
of giving stock medicine in salt is
not only the simplest and surest, but
is in every way the best and most
common sense plan. You just drop
the medicated brick in the feed box,
or place it in cheap metal holder,
and the animal does the rest. Write
to the Blackman Stock Remedy Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn, for copies of let
tiers from veterinaries and stock
ounorc who have. uSnd and rncOm-
mend the salt brick.

DUryj1l9 A Case in Point

Because the peoples attention has
been conferred so largely in cotton
production. They have not had
brought home to them the import
ance, the value and the economy of
the better cow as compared with the
poorer COW. They are engrossed
with the general work of the farm.
Understand, when talking of COWS, 1
am taking in the average.
The statement made in the outset,
authorized by a. letter which I re-
ceived this morning from re-
questing that I lend hand, must
prove interesting to may men of fair
ly good capital and familiar with the
dairy and it's possibilities. Here is
an opportunity that can be turned to
highly profitable account. If one
should locate within one to three
miles of -. open up dairy with
six to eight COWS, gradually increas-
ing the number, he would meet with
instant encouragement He would,
of course. proceed at once to supple
ment his high-grade cows-I do not
mean that the COWS should be grade,
but rather that they be pure bred
milk and butter producing animals
with reasonable. number of Duroc-
Jersey or Berkshire hogs, keeping an
eye on the main chance, that is, a
goodly number of pigs in season.
Why pigs? Because if he proposes
to give his attention to the produc-
ton and sale of butter, he must have
the pigs to which to feed, with shorts
or wheat bran the separated milk.
Transforming the cream into butter,
which can be readily sold the year
round at 80 cents to 35 cents per
pound on delivery in the town to in
dividual customers for cash in hand,
he will find in his growing pigs a
source of money-making that will
more than offset the profit possible
from the sale of whole milk, to say
nothing Of the early morning hours
he would be compelled to work in
milk customers.
What say you to taking up this
subject. quietly visiting , in
specting the field, and, if you find the
situation inviting, undertake to sup
ply the ''felt want" reported to me
by thoroughly reliable dweller in
that nice little town of 900 to 1900
clever people?
ala not lnLenQ TO say so much on
this subject. The fact is, the sub
ject was SO clamorous for expression
[ had to give it rein. Moreover, what
is true of - is doubtless true of
number of Georgia towns.
There is not a more profitable, ex-
panding or interesting business than
dairying. 1t is business. That
means that back of it must be intel
ligence, diligence, up-to-dateness and
energy. There is no such thing as
feeling lonesome or having the blues
on well managed dairy farm. 1t is
study as well as business. There
is individualism in the COWS; there
are points in the calves; there are
lessons in the management of the
hogs and the pigs-all these arouse
interest and will engross attention
, many hours in a week. The expand
ing feature tuches the farm; for one
must arrange to grow crops that will
materially benefit his COWS and swine
A dairy farm of the right stamp (and
such farms are possible anywhere in
Georgia), can be made at once a
source of large profit and great de-
light. This is case wherein "ten
acres enough" can find splendid il
lustration.

Popular British Ruler Expires
After an Illness Of Less
Than a Week.
GEORGE v HIS SUCCESSOR
Heir Assumes Cuties Immedi-
ate|y, According to Laws
Of the Kingdom.

London, May liking Edward VII,
who returned to England from a vaca-
ton ten days ago in the best of health,
died in the presence of his family
after ar illness of less than a week,
which was serious hardly more than
three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without Off
cial ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death,
in pursuance of custom.
The beloved monarch succumbed to
pneumonia, which followed a bron-
chial attack, in the sixty-ninth year of
life and the tenth year of his reign.
Coming so suddenly, the death of
the king has resulted in the great
est sorrow to the nation, in whose
hearts Edward, first as Prince of
Wales and afterward as sovereign,
held first place.
His short reign has been a history
of stirring times. 1t opened with the
conclusion of peace after a long and
trying campaign in South Africa and
concluded at the critical moment of
n of the momentous political strug-
giles of modern times, between the
peers and commons.
Only a day or two ago the king was
conducting the business of state and
giving audiences, but on Wednesday
