own YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF owe IT
Food And Grain Crops viii Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says II. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga,-(Special. THE cred.
1t system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyzed in striking way by H. G..
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, and a member of
the executive council of the South.
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
BILE in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry Of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back Of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out Of their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. 1t is disheartening because it Is
so absolutely unnecessary. 6
"A cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with crop Of cot
ton as large as he now makes
1.-THE trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead Of
owning it when made.
1.-THE acredit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
Il have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section Of
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for its food supplies. What
Is true of a state or section Is true
of the individual farmer.
THE great exhibits of grain hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
"A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
when we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store: we will own instead of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages"

STREET CLEANING
WORK WILL Be DONE
DURING THE NIGHT
uuusIA TO FOLLOW IN THE
WAKE OF PROGRESSIVE
CITIES.
INACCURATE new PLAN SOON
,,.w street Sweep And Sprinkler 10
clvino Perfect Satisfaction and
mes the Work Very ExpedltIously
-obyates Dust Evil.

within a short time the city admin
stration will inaugurate another pro-
uressiye policy with reference to street
|oIaanipg in Columbia. Heretofore the
york of cleaning the streets has been
5ons altogether in the day time here,
hut following the example Of the
larger cities of the country the street
committee will have this work done
BIT night.
There are many reasons why the
work of cleaning the streets should
he done at night. In the first place
there are at that time very few We
hicles then on the streets, giving the
cleaners a better chance to make a
thorough Job; again If there is any
bust raised by reason of the work 1t
will not cause the inconvenience that
n does In the day time.
The city has just installed one Of
he most modern and satisfactory
street sweepers In the country. 1t is
! combination sprinkler and sweeper.
This practically obviates any dust.
rhe water flow can be easily regu-
ated and where the sprinkler Is not
needed in sweeping the streets, can
be entirely eliminated.
This machine does the work well
hnd epeditiously and the members OF
khe Street committee are very much
pleased with 1t, One hand and a
team can do all of the sweeping neces-
barry in a half day and 1t is planned
30 have the work done between mid
hight and daylight little later on.

SWEDISH STEAMER
COMES HERE TO AVOID
BRITISH SHIP RULES

With her. name and nationality
painted amidships the Swedish steam
er Nippon, the first vessel Of that ma,
ton to enter Honolulu harbor in the
memory of Capt. John F. Haglund, pi.
lot, arrived here late Saturday after
noon to take on 900 tons OF bunker
coal.
The Nippon is en- route to Rotter
dam and Gothenburg from Dairen
Shanghai and Moi and to avoid Brit
ish regulations dealing with the coal
ing of vessels at English ports to
which the Swedish government has
forbidden its vessels to agree, has
taken this long way home via Homo
lulu and the Panama canal instead OF
going through the Suez canal.
The British government has enact
ed a law forbidding neutral vessels
to coal at British ports unless they
guarantee that the cargoes will moi
fall into the enemies hands, and yes
sells loading in India must take one
third OF their cargo to England.
That this law may bring other Swe
dish vessels here is the belief of Capt
A v. Lindquist, master of the Nippon
