farm PROSPERITY
I'M grave danger

= i 9e3T1aMra. Ea.~TSpccial THAT there
is a large element Of danger fol
Southern farm prosperity in the pres
ent situation, is the firm belief Of H
G. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber Of Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Associa
ton,
Mr.. Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of year ago when he
said: "Unthinking people are apt to
attribute the present measure of farm
prosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to it's real
cause.
Just as soel as peace began to ap-
pear probable last fall there was a
distinct let-up in the planting of wheat,
oats and other small grains. One
Georgia cotton farmer said to me, If
we are going to have peace, we are
not going to plant any wheat in my
ncishborhood.'
"Of course the high price of cot
ton has helped, but if it had not been
for the increased supply Of bread,
meat, vegetables, grain and forage
made on the farms, there would have
been little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton was and
is relatively lower in price than food
stuffs, and will continue to =: for
years to come.
Az tro fuyn thrnn
bales in the 1919 cotton crop will
smash present attractive prices, while
the worldwide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization Of fcod
production in Europe incident to tl.a
war, means high food prices every
ril.re for years to come.
High food prices are certainty
and low cottsn prices are an equal
certainty if the food and grain acres
of 1916, 1917 and 1918 are thrown back
into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the,
danger to our present farm prosper
ity. If we go back to our old before
the-war system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we will
get another jolt like 1914 WIN rea-
sonable certainty.
Present Southern farm prosperity
can be maintained in one way only.
Produce on home acres, so far as pos
sible, every pound Of food, vegetables,
grain, hay and forage needed by fam
lily and livestock, then put every other
available acre in cotton or other cash
crop. This method means cash crops
made with little or no debt-the crop
owned by the producer at the end of
the season instead of owed to the
supply merchant.
Food and grain production sufi.
cient for home needs, insures contin-
ued farm prosperity. Dropping back
to the old way means debt like mill
stone around the farmers n""S-"

 The sermon emphasized particu- larly the significance of the resur- rection of Christ as the vindication of His claims, and the assurance  sin as well as death.
 Special thanks were offered for victory and peace and for the safe return of the men of the congre- gation, and for the departed mem- bers.

Grant Parish Citizens Are Not Violat'
ors of Law.


Mr.. ]. H. Walker, of Pollock.
resenting the article by 70. N.
t." in Alexandria Town Talk,
saying the people of Grant par
ish were not going to dip, but
would resist enforcement OF the
law, writes that paper an explain
alton of the cause Tor the mass
meeting at Colfax on the subject.
He says the main trouble was
that the people were not correct
" informed as to the law, and
that when it was explained to
them they fell into line and
agreed to Dip" He admits there
were some extremistslthat stated
they were not going to dip, but
that they would be forced to do
so. He closes by taking a shot
at the malcontents who stirred
up the trouble, and intimates
pretty plainly that they were
either ignorantly or intentionally
opposing the law because they
were caught in its net for viola
tons. He says:
AT Colfax, in the courthouse
within the railing, during our
mass meeting about cattle dip
ping, a man arose, faced the au-
dience and denounced the OH,
Gals of our parish and state,
calling them tyrants, and de-
clared the men who were orig
inators of dipping at. the heat
of the government, were graft
ers- all because he had disobeyeC
the cattle dipping law and wa
under bond to appear before thu
court. That settles the ques
ton why some men are bitterl.
opposing those who are in au
thority."

Eradication Bulletin of Louisiana
will merit careful study:
I'm the meantime, the law was
rigidly enforced, with the ex-
ception of a few parishes where
Justice was either neglected al
together or timidly dealt out.
There is only one result from
such neglect, notably, enormous
NV increased taxation above what

How Fast Are the Boys Coming Home
from France!


The question as to how fast
the soldiers sent to France are
returning home is one that IN
terests every family in the land.
The total number sent over was
something over two million men.
According to figures sent out by
the War Department on March
20. the actual number returned
TO the United States on that date
was 500,034.
The strength of the expedi-
tionary forces remaining in Eu-
rope on March 20 was stated to
be 1,47O, GIG. So, from the re-
port it seems that it has taken
four months to bring half a mil
lion men home. AS there are
still about one million and a half
men to bring home, if the move
ment continues in the same ratio
as heretofore, it will take about
twelve months more to get them
all home. A number of contin-
gencies may lengthen or shorten
the period'of homecoming. But
since the Germans have agreed
to furnish a number of ships tt
bring home our soldier boys ane
return with provisions, let Us
hope the time is to be shortened
