Seeing The Light

A syrup refinery has been pro-
NOTED at Triton and will bein ope-
ration this year, thus guaranteeing
market to the farmers of that sec
zion for all Of their sugar cane.
This is another important step
toward the encouragement Of crop
Investigation. Farmers cannot
plant these side crops unless they
have a market. Given the oppor-
tunity Of disposing Of their sweet
potatoes, pecans, grain, vegetables
and sugar cane, moreof them will
reduce their cotton acreage and
give greater attention to the culti-
walton Of other soil products.
The packing house at Moultrie
will enable scores offarmers to sup
port themselves by raising hogs.
The syrup refinery at Tifton will
also provide way for the farmer
to get from under the cotton bond
age. Georgia has been slow to see
the light, but it appears at last
that the awakening is general
throughout the state, heralding the
advent of better and more stable
times. Macon News.

Helped To Break His Town And
Himself With Il.

The experience Of an Iowa farmer
who describes low he helped put his
own town out Of business by patron
ling mail order business has been
attracting the attention of several
large papers. Hans Garbus, a Ger
man, wrote the article in question.
He said, in part THE first year
I was farming the home merchants
helped carry me through, sold me
supplies on credit, and Accommodated
me until l was able to buy 40a
place Of my own. Then the mail
order houses began sending me ca
talogues and sending statesmen to
see me.
Il began sending MY orders to
the mail houses, and as this took
ready money I let the home mer-
chants wait on theiraccounts. We
had nice little town, with live
merchants and good school and
were growing rapidly, 1t looked
like fine place to live.
"Other folks began patronizing
the mail order houses and giving
them the best Of their trade. We
used to make up neighborhood or
ders and saved freight bills. Gra-
dually our merchants began to les
sen their stocks Of goods, for they
found they could not sell them. One
by one they began moving to other
towns. The town went down, the
school fell off. The hotel is closed
because no travelling men come. The
farm which / once held at 5000 an
acre becauseit was near a live town
is now worth about $40 an acre.
That's how [ helped to break my
own town, and myself with it. !"
