THE COUNTRY IN SUMMER.

City jewellers who do not go out into the
country at this time of the year are missing
the highest enjoyment of the summer sea-
son, for the country has its own charms
which we may not know except as we go to
the country. Now is the high tide of the
year Now, if ever, is the time for riding
or walking on the highways and byways, for
exploring the Swallowed depths of woods, for
lingering on the banks of cool and ripping
streams How lovely the roadsides, made
bright by gaily tinted wild flowers that nod
in friendly fashion to the passerby. What
beauty there is in the waving expenses of
corn and cotton, deep green, row upon row,
almost endlessly. How delicious the fra
GRANGE of the new mown hay-of all the
fragrant odors of nature none are more
delightful. What GOODNESS there is in the
dimness of the woods where shy birds chant
their songs and modest wild flowers hide
their heads But in it all there is yet more
than loneliness. There is the suggestion of
abundance, of natures bounty, of the gen.
erosity of providence, of the care of Him
who marks even the sparrow's fall As we
contemplate the labor of the husbandman,
how he sows, confident that in due time he
will reap the harvest, how dependent he is
upon the elements, and how unfailingly his
faith and industry are rewarded, we real
ize more fully than ever how God verify
holds US in the hollow of His hand. How
kind, benefcent and gracious nature appears
in the summer season. To yield abundantly
and replenish the earth is her one aim and
purpose.
To live for time close to nature is ed
ucational as we'll as inspirational. Nature
improves upon close acquaintance. The more
one sees of nature the more one respects
her, admires her, adores her. In time, as
our education progresses, all the things of
nature seem lovely to us-we even grow
tolerant of the idiosyncracies of the weather
In the country peace and plenty abide and
the spirit of man is soothed. We should seek
its delights and its solace as often as we
may, and thus gain strength for our tasks
and inspiration to guide US along the way

SIGHTING GEORGIA MEAT.

The Macon News calls editorial attention
to complaint of Georgia packers that IS no
less surprising than regrettable if true-and
we have no reason for not believing that It
is When the people of the state refuse to
buy Georgia raised meat, which in point of
savorv deliciousness surpasses any which
ever came from a western packing house,
thew are not only depriving themselves of
the best there is of the meat product, but
are retarding an industry the value OF
which to the material growth and pros
peritv of the state cannot be estimated Inc
most surprising statement, however, IS that
farmers who sell hogs to Georgia packers
buy western meat for their domestic needs
in preference to the home product. Last fall
the farmers complained often and loud about
the prices paid them for their hogs, but II
they buy other meat in preference to that
nut on the market by the home packing
houses which patronized them their COM
plants are without just cause and in poor
GRACE. Our Macon contemporary states the
case clearly and fairly when it says
''The policy of patronizing home indus
tries is one which will play very material
part in the upbuilding of Georgia and the
South in the period of activity which lies
ahead of us, and we should give it encour-
aqement in every way possible.
"The News on Thursday carried story
to the effect that the Macon Packing Com
panv labored under disadvantages because
of the preference shown for western meat
bv large number of purchasers, and show
ed that even the farmers who had sold their
hogs to this home packing company went off
and bought western meat to supply their
own domestic needs.
"At the same time the local concern has
to meet complaints that it does not pay as
much for hogs as do the western packers.
II IS obvious that when Georgia-raised meat
is placed at a disadvantage by Georglans
themselves. including the hog-raislng farm
ers. the local packers are at disadvantage
in the prices they can afford to pay.
eThe real excellence of Georgia raised
meat is one of those things which should
not have to be demonstrated. There IS no
better meat in the world, as those know
well who have proved the pudding by chew
ing the bag"

WALTON COUNTY.

AS an agricultural county Walton stands
in the forefront, and its people, in city and
country, never tire of singing its praises.
Farm lands are worth from $3.50 to $3.50
an acre, and but little can be bought even
at these figures.
Under the state drainage law wonders
have been accomplished in retaining swamp
land. Thousands of acres along creeks that
were useless and valueless, covered with
canebrakes and swamp growth, are now fer
tile fields under cultivation, producing from
60 to 100 bushels of corn an acre. On farms
where the swamps have been drained enough
corn is being grown in bottoms that former
Iy were swamps to supply the place. All of
the upland is devoted to other crops. The
drainage law was passed for the benefit of
South Georgia, but its helpful provisions
have never been taken advantage of by this
section. It could be made to be worth mil
lions of dollars by reclaiming land that is
now worthless.

Dawson's Prospective Candidate
From the Pelham Journal.

Now comes to light another prospective
candidate for governor. This time it is a
real Southwest Georgian, Hon. j. D. Weav-
er, alias jim Weaver, of Dawson. Mr. Weav-
err is a successful farmer and business man..
He is young enough to run, tall enough to
reach the plum and slender enough to slip
into most any situation. He wears silk shirts
and pongee clothes, at least when he is
away from his farm on visit, but he has a
right to; he looks the whole world in the
face and owes not any man. Mr.. Weaver
is we'll to do; he has good head on his
shoulders and makes money. He is in the
forefront in farming in Georgia and his Ter
ren county farms are models of progressive
and prosperous agriculture. He is identified
with the interests of farmers, and if he
were made governor his administration
would be characterized by good business
methods. Jim" Weaver has some Qualifca-
tons that will make others walk about if
he gets in the race.

Buy From the Home Man.
From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.

From the Newman Herald ana ADVERTISER
Give the home man the first chance at
anything you want to buy
This applies with especial force when a
smooth-tongued salesman comes around to
PERSUADE you to buy something you had not
thought about. His talk may be convincing
on the article he represents, but when you
hear it remember that the home-dealer has
the same thing, probably for a less price,
and the home man is not only right here
now but will be here in the days to come,
to make anything good that should go wrong,
while the roadster has gone into the great
unknown. If the article is sold on time an
other man will be around to collect, ana
he will have another and different tone
from the glb-tongued salesman.
The travelling agents or transient dealers
nav no tax to your town or county. lhey
contribute nothing toward the support OF
YOUR schools and churches-nor toward the
maintenance of your public roads, when
they so freely use. The home man helps with
all these. 1t is the home dealer who cooper
ates with you in all things for the growth
Of YOUR county and section and whose m
terests are identical with yours. Then, give
the home man preference.
Buving from a man you do not know,
who is here today and may be gone tomor-
row, is at best risky business. Buying
from q firm you know nothing about IS
equally as risky Neither can give you pet
ter prices longer terms of credit or pet
ter article than the home man can give. In
nine cases out of ten they fall far short,
both in quality and price.
In any event, before buying talk with
vour home dealer about it. He is your best
friend, and will save you money and per-
haps save you trouble.

The Boil Weevil.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


The Albany (Ga) Herald says that "this
is the month of the finish fight between the
farmer and the boil weevil" and that if
the pest isn't routed before the first of Aug
ust ''the farmer will get comparatively little
cotton"
Here is the situation as the Albany Her
aid sees it:
Conformation from nearly all south
west Georgia counties is the same
thousands of Weevils, rank growth of
cotton plants on account of much rain,
scarcity of labor and a generally dis
couraging outlook for anything better
than a very small yield"
And this is quoted from The Dawson
(Ga.) News as to the situation in Terrell
county-''a county which produces, under
normal conditions, more cotton than any
other county in that part of the state"
Reports of havoc by the boil weevil
are coming from every section of Ter
rell county. There isn't a cotton field
in which the pest has not appeared IN
large numbers, and it is said that every
square on some stalks has been pune
tured.
In spite of the reports The Dawson News
saws that some of the farmers are still in
clined to believe that the Weevll will not
damage their crop this year; but it warns
them to take every precaution, and adds
that
There's but one way to hold the wee
vii down and save as much of the cot
ton crop as possible, and that is for the
farmers to pick up the punctured
squares at least once a week-tWlce
would be better-and burn them. 1t
this is done every week millions of wee
wills will be destroyed. And in blowing
their cotton the farm demonstrators
urge them to watch for fallen squares.
Where these are found the weevil is at
work, Squares should be picked up
from now until the latter part of July
and burned"
After all is said and done, however,
diversified crops are the best safeguards
against the boil weevil, in making good in
great measure, the losses sustained by its
ravages.
And it is fortunate that diversified farm
ing has made great Roadway in that section.
The Georgia farm is being made more and
more home-supplying business enterprise,
and wherever this is done the boil weevil
can't put the wise the provident farmer out
of business. He has something to fall back
on, under boil weevil conditions.

When the Farmer Retires.
From the Commerce Observer.

The average country town-and city
too. for that matter-is getting to be
a place where the farmer retires and
stiles ambition and groans under tax
levies.-Dawson News.
It hurts community when a substan-
tial farmer leaves it; his farm goes down,
and when he moves to town he becomes a
non-producer, thus causing an economic loss
to his state Of all times the farm ever Of
fered the greatest attractions it is today.
Living in town isn't the most satisfying
thing in the world as many farmers have
learned on giving up their country place to
go to town or a city.
