Today wandered Ter the farm
Near which my early lot was cast,
And viewed the changes with alarm,
Changes that made the happy past
Seem far remote and fading fast.
The fields, where record wheat once grew,
Are foul with briars and goldenrod,
Sumac, and ivy There a few
Lean cattle bite the scanty sod
Where corn once ripened, thistlesnod.
Fences are falling, and the sad
Old barn which once was filled with
sheayes,
Where have played, a little lad,
Shows sagging roof with moss-grown
caves
Its driveway choked with weeds and
leaves.
The boys have grown, and left the place
The father sleeps, now, on the hill;
And not one dear, familiar face
OF all l knew is left there still,
tenant robs the soil ut will.
The simple, quiet country life
our fathers loved no longer seems
To please our young whose mindsare rlie
with thoughts Of vast commercial
schemes,
Where sudden wealth absorbs their
dreams
Thus do they leave the land to be
Half-tilled by those whose only care
Il present gain-resigned to see
Their birthright useless, brown and
bare
Results confront us everywhere.
Better to base ones hopes upon
The sure foundation Of the soil,
Content 10 hold, when youth is gone,
An Humble recompense for toll,
Than scheme, and fret for power and
spoil =,

The best animals on any Georgia
farm are those raised on a Georgia
farm. There is no doubt Of the fact
that horses and mules can be pro-
fitably raised on any farm, even
though it il not irregular stock farm.
Such horses are never Of inferior
quality, ond the cost of their raising
is comparatively small.
