A Lesson Worth Learning

a lesson worth learning has been
taught by the recent fire in Smith
Vile. It is that the presence Of a
pressing club where gasoline is used
IS a menace to any wooden building
around. This awful example has
been given to the people Of Lee
county as that they may profit from
it, if they will.
Already the board Of alderman Of
smithville has passed an ordinance
prohibiting a gasoline pressing club
within the corporate limits. This
seems at first thought drastic me-
thod Of ayerting danger from gaso-
line explosions, but it is worth
while. If the people Of Smithville
had this matter presented to them
70 forcible before the fire, they
would have banished the gasoline
pressing club earlier.
There is a lesson on the action Of
the board OF alderman Of smithyille
which may serve to save Leesburg
from a similar occurrence. It is un-
doubleday true that no gasoline
pressing club should be permitted
within the incorporated limits OF a
town where there is nc fire protec-
ton, Unless such a club if ina build
ing that is off to itself where a fire
III such a building will nor endan-
ger any other building.
It would be well that the members
Of the board Of alderman Of Lees
burg take steps before it is too late
to fortify the town against such dam
ger, just as the council in smithyf e
has done. 1t win be too late when
such fire has broken out. Anoun-
CO Of prevention is worth pound
If cure. Should not Leesburg BAN
ish the gasoline pressing club also,
or 1T least make il 50 that it will
endanger the property Of Others?

idea, and more intensive methods
Of cultivation.
IfGeorgia's farmers could but
learn these facts and would bring to
their tasks desiret to get away from
the old systems and a desire to oti-
lie to the fullest their climatic adj
vantages, Georgia would each year
take higher rank among the Agri-
cultural states Of the Union.
In 1911 Georgia farmers bought
"a, 100000 bushels Of corn and u
o67, 900 tons Of hay more than they
raised. thereby taking out Of Geor-
gia millions Of dollars. Georgia is
is qualified by nature to raise the
greatest variety Of feestuffs: quail
fed 70 raise all she requires and
still have an abundanceof products
for sale.
OF Georgia's tremendous land Al
rea lot more than one third Of the
total and not more than one-half Of
her farm area is under cultivation.
Georgia is beginning to diversity
and apply more intensive methods
but she has not yet begun to rea-
lie her possibilities.

Georgia Farmers Should Raise
More Livestock Ii The Future.

There are $12, 200, 900 worth Of
mule, and horses and 10000, 600
worth Of dairy products shipped in
to Georgia every year. How do we
ever expect to prosper at this rate?
OF the II, 100000 worth Of mules
and horses shipped here this season,
wonder how many millions worth
died? If the reports are true, the
loss was heavy.
We can raise mules, horses and
dairy COWS here in Georgia with as
much profit as they are raised in
Tennessee and Kentucky Themain
trouble with us is that there arenot
enough Of us know how 10 select
good brood mares. Poor brood mares
poor sires and poor feeding are part
ly the cause of scrubby colts in
Georgia. We do not know Of d coun-
ty in Georgia that is more suitable
than Greene for the cattle and live
stock industry to be developed. We
have the Bermuda, and by adding
little lime to the soil we could
easily grow crimson clover wish the
Bermuda, and that would afford us
as fine a grazing crop for colts as
we could get.
One Of the main points that Sena-
tor Perry had when he introduced
the bill establishing district agri-
cultural colleges was to get the boys
on the farm interested in raising live
stock and high-bred cattle. He knew
that Georgia was far behind in this
particular line Of agriculture.
One-f fifth Of Georgia has not pass
ed the stock law, and wherethe cat
tie are permitted to run at large
there will always be found poor-bred
cattle.
Whenever you find fine cattle and
stock you. find progress, and wher-
ever you find poor cattle you find
but little progress. Good cattle and
progress go hand in hand. &C. II.

DYnamiting Fish.

CouNTY game wardens throughout
the state are on the alert for fish
dynamiters. Attention Of The Her
aid has been called to the fact that
in Dougherty county there have been
many recent violations of this sec
ton ofthe game law, and theauthor-
tiles are making every effort to Sc
cure evidence that viii lead to con-
victions.
OF all game-law violations the
practice Of dynamiting fish deserves
the most vigorous action on the part
Of game wardens and Others in au7
thority. When a charge ofdynamite
is exploded in the waters Of a fish
inhabited pond or stream, not only
are fish suitable for table use killed,
but scores or hundreds Of small fish
babies ofthe finny tribe-are wan
tonly destroyed.
All good citizens should assistthe
ocal game wardens in their efforts
to discover The identity Of fish dyna-
miters, and bring them 10 justice.

Georgia---The Coming Agricultural
State.

Last year Georgia was the ninth
state in the union in crop produe-
ton. Reports however emananting
from the Office Of the Agricultural
Commissioner are to the effect that
with the proper Investigation Of
crops and intensive farming Georgia
bids fair rise another notch with
this years crops are harvested. And
why not?
Georgia is the largest State in the
Union East Of the Mississippi, her
soil is of wonderful fertility, her
climate is such that almost anys
thing can be raised on her lands
and her people are the equal Of any
in the States in intelligence. All
that it is needed is the employment
Of more modern methods Of crop
