What Dc Mail Order Houses Do for
You and the Town You Live In?

local paper published in any town in
this country but that can get more
money for advertising and boost
ing" from mail order houses, if it
would but accept it, than it can get
from all the merchants of the town
in which it is printed? But news
papers realize that a community is
not builded by the money that is sent
out of it.
Try to imagine what would be the
result if this mail order business were
to be. pushed to a logical conclusion,
when every merchant was compelled
to go out of business through lack Of
local patronage. Suppose you were
unable to buy any article of any kind
or character in your own neighbour
hood, but must send away for every
thing that entered into the daily needs
of your life; where the p%ostoffice was
the only trade mart, the only avenue
through which your van could be
supplied. How long could you en-
dure such conditions? Remember,
the mail order house pays no taxes
in your county, is not interested in
you social, civic or financial we'll
being, cares nothing for your educa-
tional advantages, the security of
your property rights, contributes not
a cent to the maintenance of your
courts of justice, but are concerned
solely in draining every dollar from
your community and grudgingly re-
turning the least possible value for
what it demands cash in advance.
Every dollar sent to a mai order
house reduces by just that much the
material prosperity of your own home
town.

. QUESTION FOR EASTERN
CAPITALISTS TO STUDY
The Manufacturers Record.

The Manufacturers Record.
If this country were at war it
would of necessity have to look very
largely to the South for the men
needed for its armies, for in this
section is found less intermixture
of outside or foreign blood than any,
where else in America.
With nearly one-third of the ma
tons population, the South has a
much larger percentage of native
born people than any other part of
the country, and it is to these native
born people that the nation in its
hour of peril would have to turn.
Is it not incumbent upon the ma
ton, therefore, to recognize the re-
sources in raw materials for the
creation of the industries upon which
successful war alone could be waged,
as it would in time Of war have to
look to the raw material of the
South in manhood to be trained and
developed for it's armies?
How long will the financial forces
of the East and the great iron and
steel leaders of the country permit
such a condition as nov exists to
continue when they are stalking every
thing that they have and everything
the country has upon iron and steel
supplies which might be instantane-
ously lost in time of war?

POTASH FROM
= CEMENT MATERIALS

The United States Chamber of
Commerce has recently sent out a
report to the effect that manufac-
turers of cement are considering the
feasibility of saving the potash to
be found in the raw materials used
in cement making, and that out of
this there may possibly come a con-
siderable amount of potash to the
benefit of the whole country. The
bulletin of the Chamber of Gem
merce says:
Manufacturers of cement are
calling the attention of the fertili-
ger industry to the fact that many of
the raw materials used in making
Portland cement contain potash, of
which some three pounds are driven
off as fue dust, ETC., for each bar
rel Of cement manufactured. 1t is
said that 80 per cent. of the potash
which is so driven off can be recov-
cred, and that on the basis of the
present production of cement in the
United States about $4,000 short
tons of commercial "muriate" could
be obtained each year. Whether
or not the manufacturers of fertll-
izer will find it profitable to turn to
this source of supply for potash has
not yet been Indicated" The Man
ufacturers Record.

m~anifestly; but continuity of such
systems would mea simply agree
ment among the townships, cities
districts and States as to routes
types of road best suited to the trat:
fc. construction, administration and
maintenance so that there would be
uniformity in design and efficiency
in service.
In seventeen of the States the
public roads are under the jurisdlc-
ton of boards of county commits
sioncrs elected by the people and
without the least concern as to the
fitness of the commissioners sc ell
ected for the work entrusted to
them. In other States the control
of the roads is placed in the hands
of county boards of supervisors. In
still other States the same impor-
tant service is committed to county
courts. Another group of States
have both county and township sys-
TENS of road management. In Mis-
souri,, where this system obtains, the
county court, composed of three
members none of whom, presumably,
possesses the least scientific or prac-
teal knowledge in road building, has
full charge Of road affairs, divides
the county into road districts, ap-
points a highway engineer and over
seers. This plan obtains in only
go counties in the State; in the re-
naming 20 counties the roads are
controlled by township commission
ers, so that in this State as in others
there is no uniformity of control
and the records show little efficiency
of service. In Alabama, the coun-
ty probate judge, who is supposed
to look especially after the estates
of deceased persons, is one of the
board of road commissioners. In
Iowa, county road work is under
the direction of county boards and
township road work is under the
control of township trustees. And
so it goes all over the country, there
is division of authority, wheels with
in wheels, county against township,
and township against county, and
the States looking on without the
courage to deal with the road ques-
ton as a purely business question
divorced from local influences and
political considerations. One of
the purposes of the American High
way Association is to make possible
efficient road administration in the
States and their subdivisions by the
introduction of skilled supervision
and the elimination of politics from
the management of the public roads.
Surely this is an end which all men
will agree to be most desirable.

TWELVE THINGS TO
DO IN DECEMBER
The Progressive Farmer.

Inc Progressive Farmer.
L. Take an inventory of what
you have done during the year, and
ascertain what has paid you best.
2. Carefully map out your work
for 1916, arranging your cropping
systems and rotations so as to pro
vide for food and feed and soil fer
tility.
3. Terrace the hillsides that are
likely to wash, and drain the wet
lands.
4. Sow rye on all lands where
you have been unable to plant oats
or winter legumes.
5. Tackle the stumps every
chance you get, never letting up on
the job until they are out of the
way.
6. Repair the fences and build
new ones where needed.
7. Clean up the brush thickets
and briar patches and put them to
work making crops.
8. Keep an eye on the livestock
and see to it that they are properly
fed and housed.
9. Watch the fattening hogs and
kill them before they "eat their
heads off" of high-priced corn.
10. Set out fruit and shade trees
and flowers if this work has not al
ready been attended to-.
IL. Keep an eye on the stored
cotton and seed and see that they
do not rot.
IL. Make the long winter even
ings pleasant and instructive by pro-
viding the family with plenty of
wholesome reading matter.

lutely necessary to cut your cotton

In this county we have a paternal
sort of government, and it is a good
thing. Some of these regulations l
think it would be we'll for Georgia
to adopt. For instance, when q
farmer wants to borrow money or
his land, instead Of calling on a bank
he goes to the county authorities
who loan him from the sinking fund
at 6 per cent interest, the county
attorney drawing papers without
charge to the borrower. The coun-
ty employs two demonstration agents
who lay off terraces and visit the
farmers and instruct them about
working the crops. If a farmer
wants his swine vaccina!ed for chol-
EZRA, or his fruit trees sprayed, the
work is done without charge. Wo-
men are also employed to visit farm
homes and teach the families domes-
tic science and sanitary regulations.
l avail myself of the use of your
columns to answer the many ques-
lions asked me in letters from Geor-
gia, and to assure your farmers that
the advent of the boil v2evil does
not near ruination for mem, but |
believe that within a few more years
they will find themselves more indie
pendent and prosperous than ever
before in their history. and the in
creased price that their staple will
bring will more than compensate
them for the ravages of the boil
weevil.

GREAT DECREASE
IN COTTON CROP

Washington, Dec. TO- The 1915
cotton crop amounts to 5,338,5S8,-
900 pounds exclusive of linters and
is equivalent to 11,161,000 500
pound bales, the department of agri-
culture announced today in its final
estimate of the season.
) That is 1900, 00O 900 pounds less
than last years record crop. The
value of the lint this year, however,
is approximately $78,000,00O more
than last years great crop. Cotton
was being sold by farmers on Dec
ember l at 11.3 cents a pound, while
last year on that date they were get
ting 6.8 cents a pound. At the higher
prices this year the crop is worth
5000, 26O, 900, while last years lint
was worth S525,324,000
This years crop of 11,161,0O0
bales of 500 pounds, gross weight,
compares with 16,134,930 bales last
year, 14,156,486 bales in 1913 and
13,O33,235 bales, the average total
production, exclusive of l~inters, for
the five years, 19O9-1913.
The final official figures giving the
exact size f this years crop will be
issued by the census bureau next
March when complete statistics from
the %ginneries have been compiled.
The estimated production, exclu-
sive of linters, by States, with COM
parsons, follows:
