THE GEORGIA FARMER.
m the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
The following newspaper article
to which more than ordinary space il
given, is from the Fort Gaines South
west Georgian. We believe that j
carries its lesson. The homely bu
striking expression therein, some
body better come here quick, lis apt
ly used, and is as suggestive as are
the statements printed:
From January l, 1913, to May
18th of the same year there were
shipped into Fort Gaines from dis
tant states 1,696,680 pounds OF
corn, oats, feed and meal.
In this huge pile were nearly
half a million pounds each of corn,
oats and mixed feed, 1000 pounds
of hay and 1898 pounds OF meal.
Besides all this, there were more
than 100000 pounds of Western
meat unloaded at the railroad de-
pot.
The retail value OF this nearly
two million pounds Of feed is ap-
proximately S62 600. Ninety-five per
cent of the entire tonnage has al
ready been bought and fed away;
and farmers in this immediate sec
ton did nearly all the buying and
feeding.
THAT isn't all, The same show IS
going on (perhaps on a slightly
smaller scale) at Coleman, Edison,
Button and Blakely Clay county
farmers are big users of the ship
ments of feed received at those
places.
This county has already spent at
least $4,000 for corn, oats, hay,
mixed feed and bacon. A Fort
Gaines banker says it will take that
much more to finish the crop; that
is, to keep an adequate food supply
until about July 10th.
Then, there's -four. sugar, lard,
coffee, clothing, fertilizer and dOz-
en- other things that cost money,
We're going to spend about
three-quarters of million dollars
this year. Half of it will be for
something to eat, and four-ffths of
this food We could raise here in the
county without perceptibly lessen
ing our cotton crop
We're going to make this year.
if we have good luck, about half a
million dollars worth of cotton,
which will not pay our debts.
How much food will be raised
this year we don't know; but our
guess is that there'll be about one
tenth of enough, as usual. And
that will spell again next year what
Sherman said.
Who's to blame? Who's going
to try to do something to straighten
out the kinks? Somebody had bet
ter come here quick.
Can we do any good by getting
everybody together and having
heart-tO-heart TALK"
The Southwest Georgian appears to
have gathered its facts and figures
with care and accuracy. True, it
speaks for only one county. But if
what is true of one county in the
state is true only in part of any sig
lifcant number of the other coun-
lies the Georgian is correct, and
somebody had better come here
quick"
We have seen it widely printed
hat in our state farming methods
had greatly improved, and that as a
result of the continual campaign of
more is being gotten out
Of the soil'' and the soil is being bet
or protected. 1t is plain, however,
hat in at least one county-we fear
n a great many counties-business
as well as improved agri-
,ultural methods are demanded. But
n what way is the demand to be
net?

The State Bar Association's COM
mittee on jurisprudence, according
to ajdispatch from Atlanta, has franz
ed a report adverse to proposed
changes in the constitution, and OPP
posing the calling of constitutional
convention. The bar association is
right, and the legislature should go
slow in the matter of calling con-
vention to change the organic laws
of the state. 1t would be picinc
for the politicians, demagogues and
fanatics, and they would romp and
cavort as never before. If there is
anything the matter with the present
constitution it can be remedied as

where in central Germany have con-
tanned an advertisement stating that a

Who bears the burden and heat of
the day ofconquering the forces of
nature? Who leads in civilization
and modern progress?
Is it the TeetotaI Asiatic? Is
it the moderate drinking Europeana
Who is it?
Prohibitionists say we should give
up even a moderate use of alcohol
for the sake of the weaker brethren.
Do you understand what that
means? 1t means that the weaker
brethren should set the standard for
the whole race. 1t means race sui
eide.
Would it not be better to bring
the weaker brethren to the level Of
the man who controls his appetites
and passions, instead of allowing the
weaklngs to dictate to the rest of
Us?
Probtonsts would punish the
whole Of us by deprivng us of our
liberty because a comparative few
abuse their liberty. Is it just?
What about the great men of the
world, the men who have made his
tory, whom we all delight to honor?
Was Washington, the Father Of
his Country, a TeetotaIer? What
sbout the distiIIery he owned, and

dern Germany?

halls as it's highest type of Christian
gentleman, Statesman, and Scholar?

Was the Great Duke of Wellington,
