Making the Little

Farm financing and management be-

that prices are too low for profit But

The Cotton Industry.

Cation Is Georgia,s greatest crop and this imme-
diate section is Georgias greatest cotton producing
territory 1t is therefore good news to the readers
Of The Dawson News that figures of manufacture
and export regarding the staple are showing rapid
growth
The census bureau at Washington has just an
nounced some interesting facts that of tremen-
dous moment The increased activity manifested
is indicative of better times. Those who were so
hard hit by the almost unprecedented low prices
which Dreyailed as one of the first visible effects of
the European war are gradually but surely finding
themselves recompensed, though conditions are, OF
course still lacking much of being normal.
During the eleven-month period ending with
June the cotton manufacturing industries used only
77423 bales less than for the same period of 1914;
but in June 68,655 more bales were taken than IN
June of last year, and in May 1900 more bales
than in May year ago. The total used during
June amounted to 514,8O0 running bales, exclusive
Of lnters.
That the European conflicts effect cotton eX-
portations has ceased to be that dread influence
which it was in its opening days is shown by the
June exports which were only 1,187 bales under
those of June year ago. This included lnters.
The main fact evident is that cotton is moving
with freedom which for long while denied
The great first reared its head just about the
time the farmers preparing to throw their
crop upon the market The crop had been pro-
duced under normal conditions and prospects,
and with foreknowledge of the abnormal cir
cumstances which were to confront its SALE AS a
result those who compelled to sell did so at
prices which did not pay the actual first cost of
the crop. There was practically sale for the
cotton because there certainty that the crop
could be moved. Now that the uncertainty has, in
large measure, disappeared it is logical that prices
should soon start an upward climb.

New Cotton win Test the Market.

New cotton has already been sold in Georgia ana
two or three other Southern states and in few
days the new crop here in Southwest Georgia VIII
begin to crowd the market.
Much OF last years crop is on hand, and despite
stories of reduced acreage and actual reduction OF
the use of commercial fertilizers the indications are
our people will make another large crop. inc
farmers of Southwest Georgia just can't help 1t.
They delight in working cotton from March to De-
cember. They do not mind the work OF planting
cultvating and picking, for, has been said, they
feel better selling $40 bale of cotton than they
do selling a $50 that has not cost them as
much labor 1t is their habit of mind
new selling season has come, and it is feared
that the war will continue to depress prices 1t may
be that the banks will make arrangements by which
cotton growers can borrow money on cotton, but
small farmers of one to twenty bales do not Ike
to do that They want to sell. The price VIII soon
be known The sale of the first thousand or two
bales will tell the story.
But today we better prepared than ever be-
fore to Withstand another of low prices for
cotton The farmers of Terrell county and this
section have a more diversified crop than in many
years and even if another low-priced cot
ton crop is upon US there will be several times as

You and Your Horse.

We reminded to call attention to the plight
OF the faithful hOrse-as well of the farm mule
during the hot days of midsummer there being
broad realization that even the most human of us
apt to be forgetful.
1t is a subject well worthy of timely word each
summer. The horse, faithful friend as the dog,
is dumb He has means of protesting when
overly wearied because of your thOughtlessness.
You may drive him to death if you will. His heart
may be breaking literally and actually, but until
it breaks and he falls to die he cannot you
of the impending tragedy. He must trust to your
humanitarianism and judgment.
When you overheated you make for the
nearest shade cooling drink, a bath a palm
leaf fan.
When your horse is oVerheated he continues in
that state until you give him relief or kill him
The instances wherein horses are killed in this
manner because of cruelty are few and far be-
tween Almost always it is thoughtlessness, pure
and simple. But that does not help the horse. He
is Just as dead way as another.
If we can, then, save few dumb brutes from
suffering by a little kindness, by thought in time
let's do it.
