MUST QUIT Eating
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop TIme-Honored sys
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-calIed cash CT ~
before it Is made if they ever exp, ct
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and Injuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber Of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions In
the southeast.
The south must stop forever it's
time-honored system of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward q
condition of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens Of thousands Of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
With higher cotton prices, 1t Is
going to be a great temptation to
uIOp DdCh luLO L1S Olu udUlI VI put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us Dy conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter of halt,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suiciCal
policy for the farmer, each year p IL
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
'If the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this syst n
would have bankrupted us long al 0.
What's the answer? 1t Is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dbl
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that 1t is possi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year."

PROPERTY OWNERS ID PETITION CITY
 ID PAVE AVENUE r
Will File Request With Com mission Asking Pavement From Eighteenth Street
 to ElmwOOd Cemetery

A petition signed by a number of in- terested property owners to have Avenue F paved from Eighteenth street to Elm wood cemetery will be presented to the city commission this morning. The peti- toners will be J. H. McCary, George F. Jackson, R. c. Peirce, T. J. Kidd and E. L. Pauley.
 Tn addition to those who sign the peti- ton, it is stated that a large number of other leading property owners along the route of the proposed pavement are heartily in favor of it It is contended by those who have interested them selves in getting the improvement made that this is the only route on the south side of the city to Elmwood cemetery, and that in addition there is very heavy traffic along this avenue all the way to West End
 Those who are pushing the movement to have the avenue paved declare that some very choice property would be bet tered and that with this paved route. sev- eral choice residential sections would be opened up immediately and the general tone of the property would be improved far more than the cost of the pave ment. That there will be some opposition to the plans for the pavement is known, but those for the improvement hope to be able to convince the city commits sioners that the work should be done.
 It is declared that in addition to those property owners affected who will present the petition to the commission today, a large number of other property owners along the route of the proposed pavement have signed additional petitions asking that the work be done and pledging their willingness to stand the cost of the as- sessments to be made for the work.

ARREST FOLLOWS
 SALE 0F AMBR0S|A Despite Order of Judge Grubb of Federal Court
 Arrests Are Made

On warrant charging violation of the prohibition law. Harry Rensford was arrested yesterday afternoon by Depu- ties w. T. Kemp and c. w. Austin at Twenty sixth street and Fourth avenue, north, for selling ambrosia. Rensford immediately made bond of $500. The bondsmen were w. c. Agee and James R. Burgin.
 Immediately following the arrest of Rensford, conference followed be- tween Deputy Austin and Solicitor Hugo l.. Black and a warrant charging a vio- lation of the prohibition law was pre- pared in order to arrest c. w. Agee, the agent of the Central Consumers company of New Jersey, the manufacturers of am- brosia The warrant will be served on Mr. Agee early this morning by Deputy Austin
 Although United States District Judge w. l. Grubb granted a restraining order on Saturday forbidding Solicitor Black, Fred M Jackson and Deputy Sheriff Con rad Austin from seizing ambrosia, it is contended by the county authorities that they are not in contempt of the federal court in their action in arresting Rens- ford for the sale of ambrosia According to members of tho county solicitors of flee, the moment bottle of ambrosia passes rom luo IdiluS Ol lHc SelllTdl Consumers company of New Jersey, it is then liable to seizure and the persons having in their possession or selling it are liable to arrest under the provision of the state prohibition law. The county authorities, it is stated. are only enjoined from interfering or molesting the prop erty of the Central Consumers company of New Jersey
 It was also announced at the solicitors s office last night and by Deputy Sheriff Austin that arrests will follow in every case where ambrosia is sold.
 My partner, Deputy w. T. Kemp, pur-. chased bottle of ambrosia and paid IS cents for it." said Deputy Austin, "and Solicitor Black immediately ordered the arrest of Rensford the proprietor of the place. My orders are to arrest anyone selling ambrosia."
 Ambrosia is a cereal beverage attested to be nonntoxicating and not an imitation of beer It has been almost continuously in the courts for about a year, but as yet there has been no adjudication of it's status as drink within or without the provisions of the prohibition law.
