Modern Agriculture Method.

From the Triton Gazette.
The rapid strides South Georgia is
making in modern agricultural meth
DDS is shown by new evidence nearly
every day. The latest is the organi-
cation at Dawson of a corporation
with capital stock of $40, 900 for the
purpose of Quarrying and grinding
lime rock for agricultural purposes
at Armenia in Lee county. The plant
will have a capacity of three hundred
tons a day and expects to begin OPP
erations not later than January. The
lime bed at Armenia is said to be
practically inexhaustible, and the
product has been pronounced of the
best quality The use of lime to
sweeten the soil is comparatively new
in this section. Experiments have
been made near Triton for two years
and results have been so satisfactory
that many farmers are beginning to
use it. With cheaper lime which the
plant at Armenia will mean this num-
Der will be greatly increased.

The United States public health
service, according to recent report,
is winning a victory in its campaign
against that mysterious affection, pei
lagra. 1t is announced that the dis
ease is wholly a matter of diet; that
the cause is insufficient and improp-
er food and that abundant and prop
er food works a cure in four weeks.
The service has also proved that the
disease is neither contagious or in
fictitious, and has wholly discredited
the theory that the cause is the eat
ing of corn meal. We thought as

Cutting Loose From the Poll
tiCianS.

In noting that Telfair county farm
ers have tackled in very practica
way the problem that has resulted
from the low price of cotton as il
relates to next years crops the Sa
vannah News says editOrially:
They are going to reduce very
largely their cotton acreage and
grow grain, hay, potatoes, cattle,
hogs and other crops instead. They
have named committees to go over
the county thoroughly so that
there will be no doubt that Tel
fair will plant but little cotton next
spring.
Their plan is practical, because
it recognizes the fact that the sub
stantial reduction of the cotton
acreage next year can be brought
about only by the farmers them
selves. Nobody else can do it, and
nobody else can compel the farm
ers to do it.
There will be very general sym
pathy with the feeling that
prompted the Telfair county farm
ers to say they had failed to get
any relief or aid at the hands of
promising statesmen or politicians,
either state or federal" and so ex-
pressed "disapproval Of and dis
appointment at their actions, or
failure to act The farmer has
found out that political promises
are not to be depended upon.
All of which is very true. The
trouble is, when anything ails the
farming conditions there are toe
many doctors The politician, the
lawyer, the banker. the doctor, the
and even the loafeT-the
most of them with an axe to grind
and a selfish purpose to serve-all
know just what to do to save the stu
alton, and the farmer, and rush forth
boldly and glibly with their plans
and views, take charge of the meet
ings called for the farmer, pass his
resolutions. tell him how he must
conduct his business and instruct eX-
ecutives and legislative bodies in his
name. The farmer is thus put on
notice how deeply these people are
in him, and how they
grieve over his plight And that is
all. Nothing is done.
After all, the farmer must work
out his own salvation or go unsaved.
The crocodile tears of politicians and
others will not do it. And there is
gratifying evidence that the farmers
have come to a realization of it AMI
are taking hold of the problems thai
confront them in a quiet and deter
mined way that foretells greater
prosperity and independence than
they have yet known. The most that
they now ask or expect is that their
creditors give them a chance.

From the st.
There is one part of the United
States at least where sympathy with
the cotton region is not only keen
but intelligent. That is that portion
of the corn belt lying west of the
Missouri river-in Kansas and Ne
braska.
In the sos, a little over a quarter
century ago, this was a One-crOp
region, even as much of the South is
now. The riches of the virgin soil
seemed inexhaustible, and the Kan
sas or Nebraska farmer cropped his
fields with no thought of the day
when the land would demand its own
again. He kept but little stock and
sold his corn until there came years
when business was dull and crops
abundant. The value of corn sank
to a mere nothing. On board the car
at the little station on the great
plains it was worth 10 or II cents a
bushel. And the settler burned corn
in his stove instead Of coal, for the
cheapest coal was S. ton, and corn
was less expensive fuel. There is in
ST. Louis today many matrOn who
was a girl of the prairies in those
days who remembers the great,
plump, golden ears and how hopeless
the future seemed as they went to
feed the. flames.
Were Heroic Days.
Those recollections are today not
even a dark spot in the memories of
| the people of Kansas and Nebraska.
Those were heroic days. The power
/ ty of that time was long ago swallow
ed up in the rising tide of prosperity
of the great prairie states, but the
peculiar riches of the spirit which
! then came to light is a possession OF
those regions today. Those expert
ences revealed the stuff of which our
Western pioneers were made. Men
of courage and resOurcefulness found
each other and came to trust each
other. Weakened folk, such as are
a doubtful asset of any community
went back east" The strong ones
/ stayed and made the country what
it is.
We have no fear for the South in
this experience through which it is
passing. As Kansas and Nebraska

Not Down Here.

Down in South Georgia some
people are wanting a law passed
to prohibit the farmer from plant
ing more than ten acres of cotton
to the pillow. That Is already about
what our farmers up this way

fellows do their part and all will
be well with US up in these dig
gins. Milton County News.
Our contemporary is mistaken
The only demand We have seen fol

in North Georgia, and it is no
from farmers at that. The farm
ers of South Georgia are liberty Low

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-11-03

Georgia has 389,775 illiterates
and 338,018 of them live on the
farms. There are 174,S11 boys
and men and 63,207 girls and
women on the farms of this state
that can neither read nor write"
The above are more figures from
the federal census bureau that will
do Georgia an injustice where the
facts are not known. The farm pop
ulation of this state is largely ne
groes, and no such conditions exist
among the farm owners and rural
citizenship, as some would be led to
think. AS to white illiterates Geor-
gia compares favorably with most of
the states.

GEORGIA MOUNTAINEERS
DRIVE SHREWD DOG TRADES

From the Commerce News.
Some mountaineers are giving
some Commerce citizens dog trouble.
One Commerce man paid five dollars
for a 'possum dog. He took that dog
to the woods several nights and he
now declares that dog is not worth a
tinker's dam. 1t wouldn't even tree
a polecat. Another Commerce man
bought a good 'possum dog from a
mountain man, but when he went to
the woods that dog walked right be-
hind the man who had paid his hard
cash for a 'possum dog. 1t wouldn't
even raise its tail to a level After
hunting two nights he took his axe
and knocked that dog in the head.

Less than two, weeks ago we came before the public
with a two page advertisement, announcing a Combination
Sale, a Sale we feel justified in saying has outclassed any
thing of its kind ever put on in the radius of so miles. We
were ignorant to the fact Of the Yankee Robinson Circus
e Ring Show coming to the city Of Washburn. This Circus
is known all thru the East and West as one of. the best 3
ring Circus under canvas, knowing that thousands of people
will attend this Circus we have come to the conclusion that
it would mean a big saving to you by extending our Sale 6
days longer which includes Circus Day. Mr.. Farmer, or Mr..
City Man, if you make a drive of 40 or so miles to attend a
pleasure of this kind we feel that you want to be awarded
some way for this trip. WE KNOW WE CAN DO 1T
BY SELLING YOU OUR Fed FOR MONTHS TO
COME AT O%NE-TH1RD TO ONE-HALF OFF. We
know that we can save you money, save you more than your
expense of the circus will be if you only buy. We want to
ask you a civil question, why pay more for merchandise when
you can buy it for far less?
Our stock of merchandise consists of all high grade
goods, we guarantee each and every purchase regardless IT
the article you buy is cut down to half price or less, which
means we will refund your money as cheerfuly as we take 1T
from you if you are dissatisfied with your purchase.
We have made special arrangements with experienced
salespeople so you do not have to stand and wait to be wait
ed on. Bring us your butter and eggs on this day as they
will be taken same as cash.
