FARMERS,
Attention.

No matter if corr is cheap now, it
may be high next year-higher,
relatively, than cotton.
Therefore, plant some corn.
VIII you have good pasture this
summer for your stock? 1t is easy
to provide for this now.
OF course, you have a good gar
den. No Southern farmer should
ever have to buy a vegetable.
Have you planted potatoes?
Have you arranged so that you
will have chickens the year around?
OF course, it is easy to borrow
money for cotton growing. Do not
borrow too much. 1t is harder to
a back than to borrow.
And by the way, is your drink
ing water supply free from typhoid
germs?
You can have it tested for a
dollar Commercial Appeal.

les NEW ERA 9AWMiEG
I. Wilson Says Restoration, Not Revo.
luton, Must Prevail.

Kansas City, Mo.-Woodrow Wilson,
in q speech before the Knife and Fork
Club OF this city, declared that a new
political era promising much for the
welfare of the nation, is now upon the
American people. The movement is one
of reform, marked by a process of restor-
alton, rather than that of revolution,
he said.
The work of reforming present condi-
ton is confined to neither political party,
the speaker said.
The New Jersey executive said the in.
itiative and referendum are to restore
representative government. But the re-
call should not apply to judges, who
neither make nor administer the laws,
but only interpret them.

What The COW
DOES in GEORGIA
Reasons Why the DaiFymGD
Should Be Encouraged

Washington, D. c., March 17.-Ac-
cording to information furnished by
the L. s. Department of Commerce and
Labor, 26,1S1, 800 gallons of cottonseed
oil We're produced in Georgia in 1909.
This was worth approximately $10,-
472,600. This is a considerable amount
Of money and the market which de-
mands this product is an important one
to the people of the state.
This fact has led men who wish to
see oleomargarine take the place cf
butter to make it appear that the
manufacture of oleomargrine furnishes
one of the greatest, if not the greatest,
reasons for this market But such is
not the case. In fact the value of
the cottonseed oil used in the man
ufacture of this product is so small
in comparison that it is not worthy
of the least consideration, especially
when the value of the dairy products
of the state are considered.
We do not have the statistics for
1909, but in 1908 the value of the cot
tonseed oil used in the manufacture
of oleomargarine in this country was
$499, 1882 The value of all the cot
tonseed oil produced in 1909 was APP
proximately $63,331, 400 This means
that less than one per cent. of the
cottonseed oil sold was used in m
ing oleomargarine.
According to the department report,
Georgia produced about 16 per cent.
of all the cottonseed oil produced III
1909 Using this figure for 1908, we
find that the value of the cottonseed
oil used in oleomargarine returned TO
the cotton farmers of Georgia the
comparatively small sum of ,91333
According to figures compiled by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
the value of the butter produced IN
Georgia in 1908 was 1881 ,179, or. for
every dollars worth of cottonseed oil
used in making oleomargarine, the
COWS of the state returned over $31
worth of dairy products.
These are facts which the farmers
of Georgia should carefully consider
before lending their support to any
movement which discourages dairy
ing An increase in the production
of dairy products in Georgia will be
just "a times of greater value than
an increase in the production of oleo-
margarine. This is not even taking iu-
to consideration the value of dairying
in building up the fertility OF the soil,
thus making the land more productive
in growing cotton.
The farmers of Georgia should wake
up to the benefits of dairying and
should use every legitimate means &c
foster and promote this important in
dustry.
