A few years ago was troubled with

ailments and although l tried two or
three different doctors, l was unable
to obtain cure. Having heard a great
deal about Swamp-Root, l decided 20
give it trial and purchased a one

notice a change for the better and af-
ter taking eight bottles of your medi-
cine, felt entirely cured and have not
had any trouble since.

INVESTIGATION AND LIVE STOCK

reflect any credit on our state. The
average yield of corn, oats, wheat, ETC.,
per acre, in this State, as given to the
world by the Blue Book, which is an
accepted authority, discounts outright
all our claims as to the productive ca
pacity of our soil, ETC., etc.
Poo-pooing the government publica-
ton to ourselves is no answer to the
crop statistics which reflect on every
farmer in the State. There is no offic-
ial presentation of incontrovertible
facts in contradiction of the figures
sent over the world by the government.
Take the government figures as to
the average yield of corn in Georgia,
1914: With the exception of Oklahoma
swept by hot winds which spread
destruction from Dan to Boersheba-
Georgia is reported to have made the
lowest general average yield of any
State in the Union-14.5 bushels.
Is this matter of small moment?
If the government figures be correct,
something more than diversifcation is
badly needed. / do not believe that the
figures are correct, but to whom shall
turn in the State for facts, not esti-
mates, with which to sustain my con-
tention?
Ny object is, if possible, to centre
public thought on this very important
subject.
Just a word or two in reference to
live stock about which so much is be-
ing said Given our status on this
subject, it will be much easier to de-
termine what can, as we'll as what
should be done.
On an average, the number Of dairy
cows in this State during the five years
of 19O9-1913, was 100000; swine, l.
225,OOO; sheep, 225,OO0; other cattle.
$4,000. That is the public record. Add
80 per cent, and you will be nearer the
actual number. Even then, it is a

meagre showing for SO great State
as Georgia.
l have given the figures that those
most interested may see how large is
the field in which to operate; how
much must be done in order to revive
interest in holdings in live stock; of
whom financial aid may be obtained in
furtherance of the slogan "a more and
better live stock"
do not concur in the advice volun-
teered that farmers should market the
greater portion Of the milch COWS,
swine, poultry, etc, pell NELL. They
ought to proceed very cautiously
about that. They may part with their
holdings, and soon find themselves sep
arated from the money paid them. Ev-
cry sensible person Will instantly
grasp what I mean in making that
suggestion. Better act CONSIDERABLY
of your interest. Do not part with all

betterment of your general condition.

(By Martin V. Calvin.)

When a radical change in any public
policy is not only proposed but vigor-
ously insisted upon, the situation
sought to be comprised should be
carefully studied. This is notably true
when a long established agricultural
policy, wise or unwise, is required to
be sweepingly amended or wholly
changed on short notice.
For months, there has been a de-
mand, amounting to a clamor almost,
that what seems to be, and is con-
stantly declared to be, one-crop sys-
tenn or policy shall be changed in the
year upon which we have just entered.
Let us see to what extent, the farm
ers have been pursuing the one-crop
system. In instituting this inquiry, we
must not lose sight of the fact that
cotton is the only product of Southern
farms that is clothed with the dignity
of collateral, that is, the only product
of our fields that will guarantee to
the humblest tiller of the soil recogni-
ton at bank.
OF the total acreage planted in corn,
oats, ETC., and cotton during the five
years 1909-1913, both inclusive, 47.3
per cent was planted in corn, oats,
wheat, rye, hay, Irish potatoes and
sweet potatoes; 52.7'per cent was
planted in cotton.
You will observe that those figures
do not support the contention that
the policy and practice Of our farmers
have been in line with the one-crop
system.
1t was perfectly natural that special
attention should be given to cotton. The
only mistake made was in too large an
acreage and the consequent high cost
of production A greatly reduced acre
age, intelligent, lie :, heavy fertilization
the best seed of the improved varieties
of cotton, and the best methods of cul-
tivation-a departure which l have
been advocating for number of
years and a resultant crop at less
cost, would have proved to be a bull
wark against a condition such as now
comforts us.
During the five years mentioned, the
average acreage in crops other than
cotton was 4S.3 per cent of the total;
cotton, SIT per cent.
In order to adjust the proposed re-
duction of the cotton acreage to the
food crops named, it will be necessary
to increase the acreage of the latter
not less than 81 per cent. You may
say So or 60 per cent, If you please.
The low average yield of cotton per
acre has made it an improbable crop.
The average Of the five years cited
shows two-fifths of a bale per acre.
The general average yield should be
ga of a bale per acre, certainly not
less than IL a bale. On the basis
above indicated, fifty per cent reduc-
ton of the cotton acreage for 1915,
compared with that of 1914, would give
crop in Georgia Of 1,O34,56O bales Of
500 pounds each.
If the figures in the government
Blue Book be correct, not one Of the
crops | have named is calculated to

WEARS DIAMONDS IN HER SKIN
CHORUS GIRL GETS A SURGEON
TO START HER FAD IN DISPLAY.
ING JEWELS-HARDLY DESTJN-
ED TO BECOME POPULAR

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-One Of the
chorus girls in THE Debutante" at the
Knickerbocker theater has started A
fad that may never become popular.
She wears a diamond butterfly fasten-
ed to her bare shoulder. Every night
when the young woman turns her bare
back to the audience there is gasp
from the front row and a murmur Of
wonder from the bejeweled ladies in
the boxes.
"How does she make it stay on?"
they ask each other. And the answer
is that surgery has accomplished the
trick.
A careful little incision was made
with a scapel on the shoulder blade
and cauterizing instrument was
pushed through the two holes to pre-
vent blood poisoning. Every night the
butterfly pin is gently inserted and
fastened to the other end of the pin. In
this way the little chorus girl has
succeeded in beating the ladies of the
spotlight in a genuine novelty in the
way of wearing gems.

LANGSHAN VERY HARDY FOWL
Uniformity In Size Make Them Desir-

Wonderful Layer.
(By PAUL v. IvEs)

The Langshan is probably the Oldest
variety Of standard fowl. 1t has been
bred for many hundreds of years in
the Langshan hill district of China,
from which place the breed derives its
name.
The Langshan has been bred for so
long time that the type is fixed and
practically all birds bred from a mat
ing come very true to the ancient type
They are so uniform that the casual
observer will have difficulty in seeing
any difference in them, and this fea-
ture makes them very desirable for a
home flock on a gentleman's estate.
They give tone and distinction to a
place that no other breed will.
The Langshan is a wonderful winter
layer of the largest of winter eggs, and
as table fowl, too, is unsurpassed. The
carcass is fine boned and white
skinned, with an abundance of breast
meat and very little offal for the size
of the carcass. The finest of capons
