NOT ADVICE, is WHAT
THE GEORGIA FARMER NEEDS.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The promoters of the Georgia
Products Day had in mind the
thought of advertising our resources
what we are producing, and what
we can produce; but the underlying
suggestion of great Importance is to
create a home market for Iarm prod
ucts. The one hundred banquets of
Tuesday and the thousands of private
dinners were a starter.
A great many people and newspa-
pers give a great deal of advice to
farmers, but if you viii get near to
them you vii find that their greatest
needs is for a local market for their
produce-a market for stuff other
than cotton.
Does the average reader of the
Telegraph know that the farmers
have next to no market in any of our
cities and towns for beef and fresh
pork? Do they know that they can
not sell to butchers, and why? And
the butchers are not to blame, and
why?
The main reason why is that we
do not have local packing plants. The
trade is controlled. therefore, by for
eign concerns who are not purchas-
ers in Georgia of raw material.

HOW TO PLANT YOUR WHEAT
MIR. j. r.. Mercer, Who Has Given
Wheat Growing Much Attention,
Writes on the Subject.

Editor Dawson News: Farmers
who desire to plant wheat should not
plant on rich land. Turn, subsoil,
harrow and plant on highest, best
drained red or stiff land, without any
fertilizer, by Dec. 1st. In March top
dress with 200 pounds of guano, or
in April 100 pounds of top dressing
or Is pounds of nitrate of soda.
About the same time it would be
we'll to harrow with a tooth or disc
harrow.
We have erred in planting rich
patches and manuring even these.
The above plan will insure a profita-
BILE crop four years in five, providing
healthful bread rather than having
to buy the commercial -four made
from grain bulked, heated, kiln
dried, bleached, dehearted, etc. Why
not as we progress hold to some OF
the valuable primitive methods of
our fathers. especially along the line
of diversified farming? 1t would
tend to keep down the increasing
cost of living, which is bearing down
upon US with a vengeance. Very

easy Money"

Beware of the curse of easy
money"
This is the warning sounded by
Dr.. John Grant Lyman, often termed
The Real WallingfOrd. now on trial
in the United States district court in
Los Angeles on a charge of having
used the mails to defraud. Lyman
is said to have induced hundreds of
| persons to invest their savings in a
| land company which was supposed to
hold a large tract near the Panama
canal.
The curse of easy money settled
on DR.. Lyman early in life, when he
was very successful in some schemes
he promoted. Becoming thoroughly
inoculated with the desire to get
more money in the easiest possible
manner he gave up his professional
career and started out to lead a life
of speculation, with the result that
he is now on trial with a possible
term behind the bars staring him in
the face.
But the advice he gives may be OF
profit to young men who see the OPP
portunity to clean up as it were in
little deal which appears to be
perfectly legitimate. A person can
not stop once the desire to get easy
money becomes a part of his life.
Here is what DR.. Lyman says:
Il have learned my lesson. You
can't beat speculation. 1t will get
you. There's little demon on ev-
cry easy dollar and speculation is
the devils game. The only man
who really gets the best out of |
life is the man who works good !
and hard, for he's a king and his
life is peaceful and happy. If you
have ever thought of specializing
here is a million dollars worth of
advice: Don't do it. "
AS the Macon Telegraph says. he .
is right. Hundreds of men who have .
led spectacular careers in the world
of finance have ended in poverty,
health and without friends.
When The temptation comes say no.

From the Fort Worth Record
Edward Morris is dead. He was
At and a native of Chicago. He held
wealth estimated at between $780,
100000 and $50.OOO.OOO. and was
credited with being the largest indi-
vidual owner of bank stock in the
city of Chicago. His father was
millionaire packer and he married
the daughter of a millionaire packer.
A man worth s5O,OOO,000 should
have found life very enjoyable He
died while in his prime. He began
his business career when he was only
IA years old and it was the genius
and energy of Edward Morris that
piled up this immense fortune for the
Morris family. Croesus wasn't very
rich. There are men living in Amer
lea today who spend more in year
than Croesus spent in a life time.

COTTON CROP NEARLY PICKED.
1t Is Estimated That Less Than Ten
Per Cent Is Now in Fields.

The cotton crop in Terrell county
is very nearly all picked, and it is
estimated that there is less than ten
per cent of it left in the fields. The
receipts are gradually falling off,
showing that the season is nearly
over. There probably has never been
season where the crop has been
more thoroughly picked, and it has
been sold very rapidly, there being
but little disposition on the part of
the farmers to hold their cotton.
At noon today local warehouses
had received 1855 bales by wagon.
The market quotations were: Fully

The cotton crop throughout this
section of the state has nearly all
been gathered, and but little remains
for the attention of the pickers. On
some farms the crop has been above
an average, while on others it is
short, the seasons having much to do
with the yield. The satisfactory
prices that have prevailed since the
beginning of the cotton season and
the improved business conditions
have been welcomed by everybody.

MENA FEDERAL BUILDING.
Congressman WingO Says He Will
 Hurry Work Along.

Congressman Otis T. Wingo passed through Mena Tuesday en route to Ft. Smith, where he will seek temporary quarters for the Van Buren postoflice, the lease on the present quarters having expired.
 In speaking of the proposed and long deferred federal building for Mena and Van Buren, the congress man said:
 "Mena and Van Buren both need federal buildings very badly, and l am going to push that matter. will see what l can do tomorrow toward getting temporary quarters for the Van Buren postoiiice until l can get the appropriation through for the building. The site there has already been appropriated for, but no ap- propriation has yet been made for the Mena site"
 Mr. Wingo would not give out any statement regarding the selection of postmasters in his district. In giving his views on the Mexican situation the congressman said:
 Unless I am called to Washing ton on account of the Mexican ques- tion I will not return there until late in the month. I am against the war. for l do not want our good Americans to be killed or butchered Also I am against intervention eX- cept as a last resort.
 q believe that the embargo on arms to the Constitutionalists should be lifted. Of course, l will vote for intervention as last ex- pediency, but I believe that this question will be settled without wal and that President Wilson will sue ceed in having Huerta unseated within thirty days"
 Congressman Wingo refused tc say what method he thought the president would use in busting Huerta, but he left the impression that he knows more than he cares to discolse at this time.
