BACK TO PEANUTS.

1t is all silly to preach peanut grow
ing to a farmer who can get sixteen
cents a pound for his cotton and IS
cents per bushel for his cotton seed.
And the man who has cotton to sell
at these very attractive prices is not
going to listen at anything else so
long as there is a possibility of pro,
ducing more cotton.
But what of the man who cannot
show the cotton? If the weevil gets
it, dollar a pound for the man who
loses to the weevil does not mean
much. He must have the cotton or
there will be little doing.
There has been much said of the
success of peanut growing. Our farm
ers are going to try it till they see what
can be done. Peanut growing for fat
tening the porkers has been the
schedule heretofore Now if ii be-
comes a success, it must be through
a production at such a cost as will
enable the farmer to realize on them

really consumed. And butter is sell
ling at As cents per pound.
Ours is dintinctly farming dis
trict a good one. Our grain crops, our
hay and beans and peas are better
dairy feed than that of any other Sec
ton. AS dairy feed producing Sec
ton ours cannot be beaten. Some
good business man with proper knowl-
edge of his work, can produce and sell
here world of butter and dairy pro-
ducts at handsome profit. So far
as we know, not pound of butter is
produced locally among any of those
who attempt to maintain dairy inter-
ests.
There is abundant room for butter
and cream producing enterprise There
will be more room as the months pass
and the man with the least bit of
capital and the greatest amount of
good business judgment, will find it
easy going. Every pound of both
cream and butter that can be produced
in Crisp county would find easy sale
here at home.
This section is capable of producing
a great deal of butter. 1t consumes
a great deal of it and it is just as much
mistake to wait on the Elign cream
cries for our butter as it is to wait on
foreign producers for any of our other
supplies. There will be strong de.
mand for any sort of dependable home
product. We ought to produce great
quantities of butter and creamery pro-
ducts. They are badly needed Why
make it necessary longer to use an cas-.
tern product?

BREAKING THE RECORD.

Our business conditions were such
last week as to enable Cordele to pre-
sent to the outside world bank state.
ment which revealed half million in
deposits for one institution There are
five banks in Cordele, all of them
lighting for business and all of them
enjoying goodly share. The Elk
change made the first get-over for the
half million mark, and close on this
comes the Cordele National with de-
posits so nearly equal that the claim
can fairly be made that two of them
have a million dollars.
Our bank deposits will reach SO
close to the two-million mark that the
business public ought to know it. This
is so much better than has ever been
done in the community that business
men have already expressed genuine
satisfaction The whole business has
an interest in the money increase and
the general disposition to save from
the immense amount of cash which is
coming in from the sale of cotton and
cotton seed.
Farm products going to market at
Eool prices have made the gain pos
sible and the fact that much of the
money has found Judgment in the To-
cal banks is evidence that at least
fair portion is not due on outside
obligations as has been the case here
tofore.
The strength of our banks is often
measured by the amount of deposits
carried here The strength of our
business community is also measured
by the money on deposit in our banks.
The financial strength of the commu-
nifty is estimated by the amount of I'M
spent money on hand And now that
we have fairly gooG amount of pock-
ct change in our thousands of ac-
counts in the five local banks, it can
not be said that we are too poor for
shy considerable volume of dependa-
BILE business.
Cordele and Crisp county will be as
we'll prepared for the new years bus
mess as any section of Georgia and
large numbers of our planters will
ray cash for their supplies another
year for they have the money. Most
of those who have money ahead are
already devoting their time to finding
a way to make it reach as far as pos
sible. What we have now wisely in |
vested in the running expenses of the |
next season will make us even stron- |
ger for the fall and there will be lar |
ger bank accounts. 1t is our business |
to break the record livery time.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNT
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

A community can never do enough
for the education of the youth for
whose training and usefulness as cit
liens it is responsible. Wherever 1t
is possible every encouragement
should be offered to both parent and
child and, since it was long ago deter
mined that this is one of the best
things on which the public funds in
any community can be spent, every
dollar of the educational funds should
be made to count for the greatest
good.
Dne of the things the community
ought to attend with great zeal and
faithfulness is the supplying of books
for the children everywhere. 1t is not
right for the parent to hide behind the
excuse that he is unable to get the
books. Many times this is true Real
good comes of the free book move
ment in such cases. More than 70
per cent of the children's parents
are amply able to furnish the means
with which to get the books, but where
funds are provided for some, others
should be permitted to take advantage
of the same.
But 1t is not the charity fe" 'ure that
stands out first and foremost. 1t is
the encouragement which this thing
gives. Whether a parent is interested
or not, if he knows that the books are
supplied out of the public funds for
every child that goes to school, he will
be more nearly willing to let the child
go and enjoy the training. If he is
required as a tax payer to help pro-
vide the fund for the books, he is
more apt to feel community interest
in the education of his children. Free
books help wodnerfull in the matter of
getting the Indifferent parent to give
attention to the school attendance
from his own home.
There are progressive communities
that are providing free books to all
who are enrolled and wonderful diff
ference is felt where three has been
time to note the effect. All the sys-
tens that are we'll regulated are soon
er or later to adopt the method and
the sooner it becomes a part of the
system in Cordele and Crisp county,
the sooner will education of the chill
dren take on new and stronger inter-
est in the homes.
Our local school heads may preach
till doomsday trying to get the at
tendance of those who little care for
education and they will not do half
so much single-handed They need
the backing of the officials who spend
the public money. They would sue
coed as they have never done before
in getting children into the schools
Free books would be worth while.
