Farming That Is Worth While,


Several parties Of Lee county peo-
pie have recently visited the farm q
Mr.. Fl. A. Petty II Terrell county
and have returned with only the
best and most enthusiastic approval
Of the excellent work that is being
done by Mr.. Petty for the people Of
Terrell and surrounding counties.
! A visit to Mr.. Petty's farm, which
is one Of the best managed and most
profitable in Southern Georgia, Is
well worth the time Of any one who
Is interested il Agriculture.
1t did not require a catastrophe
such as the present European war
to convince Mr. Petty that the only
sensible way in which to farm was
to raise at home the provisions that
| are needed at home. Fonrte' n
years ago when he took charge Of on
ordinary farm in Terrell, he deter
mined to raise his supplies at nome
and to emphasize more and more
that part Of farming rather than the
growing Of cotton.
Year after year the estate owned
by Mr.. Petty has been improved
Today il is one Of the best equip
ped, most sensibly managed and
most profitable farms Of its size IN
Georgia. Mr. Petty had a rational
and sensible plan formed when he
began farming. The craze for cot
ton did not serve him from his aim
to make his farm self-sustaining
The wisdom Of his plan has been
well indicated He is today sell
ing his excellent Duroc- jersey hogs
and Short horn cattle as quickly as
he can breed them.
There are for farmers OF this kind
but few worries in the recent de-
plorable situation as regards the
cotton market. All Of their eggs are
not in one basket, 50 the upsetting
Of one basket alone does not greatly
disturb the whole. Isn't The a
plain, direct, sensible lesson in this
for every intelligent and thoughtful
farmer? 1t is 50 clear and manifest.
that even he who runs may read.
Mr.. Petty is doing a splendid
work for the people Of his home
county and Of all the surrounding
counties in Southern Georgia. Not
only in Terrell but also in Lee and
many other counties throughout
the state have the Red Duroc7Jersey
hogs and the Short-horn cattle bred
upon Mr.. Petty's farm demonstrated
their superiority, Among the various
breeds Of hogs known here this breed
has proved satisfactory to every
farmer who has given them trial.
The value Of the Shorthom type Of
cattle for beef is too well known to
need other than q casual considera.
ton to prove its superiority.
Already several aggressive Lee
county farmers have secured breed
ing specimens of these live stock
The best results have been obtained
from them, and the number raised
here continues to grow. We re-
commend to Lee county farmers the
raising OF such live stock as RAJ
ltional solution Of one Of the greatest
problems Of the day.

The Plattsburg Camp.

The military camp for business and
professional men, loo strong. opens
at Plattsburg to-day. No one expects
that these volunteers will become fin
ished soldiers and material for Off
GERS in their month OF drill and III
look upon the camp as a vacation op-
portunity, hoping to benefit physically
by the experience and perhaps amuse
themselves, ms severe discipline will
not be practicable; but WI believe
that the great majority OF the men
who are going into khaki to learn
something Of the school of the soldier
and receive instruction in the tactics
Of the battlefield are thoroughly in
earnest and desire TO do their duty
as citizens with a feeling that nothing
should be left undone To impress the
country with the significance OF its
unpreparedness for defence.
Every movement in this direction
helps. even a camp Of business and
professional men, some OF them no
longer in the first flush Of youth. The
example counts more than any CON
trlbution they could make to the com.
plement Of electives in the field. We
can put the case for these volunteers
In modest terms, for the success Of
the P~lattsburg camp is assured. They
are pioneers in a propaganda that
will spread far and wide ultimately,
the arousing Of Americans. as the Aus
tralians of the Antipodes have been
aroused. TO the necessity of training
men OF all conditions to carry arms,
not to make war but TO protect the
country from aggression by. being

c%ontraband list lest the good will OF
the United States should he forfeited.

which was more or less hypocritical,
considering the British manufactur-
er's interest in cotton. 1t Is not to
be supposed that IL the British Gov
eminent had understood the value Of
cotton to the greatest makers Of ex-
plosives in the world. the Germans.
1t would have long hesltated to point
out that Great Britain was not bound
by the Declaration Of London, which
put raw cotton among the articles
that were never to be declared con-
trnband. In his handbook claw and
Usage OF War" Sir THOMAS BARCLAY,
an eminent International lawyer, says
that the inclusion of raw cotton in
the prohibited list by the Declaration
was "a concession to England" The
British Government may be averse
to antagonizing the American cotton
grower, but 1t now regrets that the
bull was not taken by the horns and
the raw material made contraband.
Listen to Mr.. BERTRAM BLouNr, Con.
sulting Chemist to the Crown Agents
for the Colonies:
There can be no doubt that IL cotton
had been made absolute c%ontraband from
the start the Russians would not now be
retreating. IL the ope steps had been
taken at the beginning of the war TO
prevent Germany from obtaining sup
plies Of cotton the British and French
troops would now be operating on Ger
man soil. The Germans are using for
shells, machine gun cartridges and rife
cartridges not less than 900 tons of cot
ton "a day. These figures, large as they
are. DO not take into consideration the
enormous quantity OF cotton required in
war time for military clothing. A mod
crate computation of the amount re-
quired for this purpose by our enemies
is 500 tons a day"
The greatest OF all British authori-
ties. Sir WILLIAM RAMSAY. may also
be quoted. lie tells his countrymen
undoubtedly we have been supply
ing our enemies with the means of
destroying u troops ever since the
beginning Of the war" The move
ment to make cotton contraband and
accept the consequences Is undoubt-
edly much in the British official mind
to-day. But there is one thing that
gives the Government pause. To
quote Mr.. AsouIru again: We do
not desire to provoke anything in the
nature Of a gratuitous QUARREL The
over the Orders in Coun-
ell still causes friction. and the issue
Is in doubt. To take the plunge and
put raw cotton on the contraband list
is n decision not to be faced with
equanimity.
