But they are not going to do SO well
next year. The eweevil is to prove
far more effective next season if the
signs are worth anything With
many a Crisp county farmer that is
going to be the one year too many.
And yet, there need be no loss. We
have sufficient warning.
We could turn this side of the
world to peanuts and yet have none
too many We could have big fat
hogs and cattle enough to occupy
every foot of standing room in Crisp
county and then have but enough to
make a greasy spot If we raised
enough wheat to fill every grain ele-
vator in Chicago, it would be but one
biscuit apiece for our hungry Geor-
gians. If every field in Crisp county
had on it an average of 100 bushels of
corn to the acre, the world a few
miles away would hardly feel the eff
feet. If every acre was covered in
velvet beans and every fertilizer or
der cut off thereby for next year we
could but begin the kind of farming
that ought to be kept up constantly.
There is going to be a market for
the things we will have to put into
the place of cotton. The peanut sup
ply is never caught up. There is an
eternal demand. They cost less to
produce than cotton. They are worth
as much. Oh, yes, they are. Don't
sit and doubt. Get up and try it..
You'll find this true. There are for
tunes in this one farm product. You
can make them better than any other
section You have the better lands.
There is no need to risk all in too
much cotton next year. A small &C
reage will be safe and advantageous.
But never let it be said of you that
you were caught with an all cotton
crop next year. If you do, Mr.. B..
Weevil will get you.

1t is than likely Crisp county farmers have

Georgia farms do not produce better food stus than
are coming from the farms of Crisp the present time
They are worth as much the market can afford
let farmers prepare what they have to sell in such
manner to make it command good price Let it go to
market in uniform packages, clean and wholesome and
then there will be excuse for Offering less than the
market for it.
But the farmers will In all probability have to stick

things at prices higher than absolutely necessary
That is always the it is but will always
be the case And our farmers may look for people who
Will want what they are now making at much lower
price than that fixed by sharp demand
There many ways of realizing fullest value Those
who are up with what is going the word-those who

ELIMINATING WATSON.

One of the greatest blows struck Tom Watson
the removal his publications from the United States
mails the other day blow nearly significant is the
falling away of the larger number of intelligent fol
lowers who have not sided with him in his severe ar
raignmen of the selective draft The next thing he
going do is to force the United States
suppress his publications entirely
There people the distant rural communities who
would read nothing but Wason's publications. If any
thing along other than Watson it had to be fully
in accord with Watson it had no welcome Now Wat
afford distribute his papers to that element

ment delivered the publication
By this act the government has rid thousands of fire
sides of of the greatest to civilization

mind else they would have provided against such das

yet is hard for loyal friend to follow Watson
in his attack the president, administration the

son to explain why Watsons publications should be longer
allowed to exist.
Nobody in America knows better than Tom Watson
that this government has right any means to

adopt such method the seective draft there can be
none to protest the Stacker shall the Stacker
