FARM PROSPERITY
IN GRAVE DANGER
Hastings Declares Greater Food Pro-
duction Essential To The Main
tenance OF Agricultural
Prosperity

Atlanta, Special. THAT there
is a large element of danger for
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 its real
cause.
Just as soon as peace began to ap-
pear probable last fall, there was a
distinct Iet-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
neighbOrhOOd.'
"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 be for
years to come.
AN extra two or three million
bales in the 1919 cotton crop will
smash present attractive prices, while
the worldwide demand for bread and
meat and the DISCRIMINATION of food
production in Europe incident to the
war, means high food prices every
where for years to come.
High food prices are certainty
and low cotton 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 with rea-
sonabIe 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 suff-
cient for home needs, insures cont1n-
ued farm prosperity. Dropping back
10 the old way means debt like a mill
Sgone around the farmers neck"

1O7 CATTLE ON
LOWRY FARM
IN FEEDING TEST

One hundred and seven head of cat
tie, most of them grade shorthorns
and Herefords, have been gathered to-
gether on the farm Of D. NJ. Lowry,
west Of Americas, in Plains COM
munity. where the feeding tests plan
ned some time ago. will begin this
week. The tests will be under direc-
ton Of George 0. Marshall, county
farm demonstration agent. who will be
assisted by a special representative of
the state department of agriculture.
All of the cattle to be used in the
test will be weighed on the day the
feeding begins, and daily thereafter
observation will be made of their con-
dition While the gain in weight scor-
ed will be the principal object of the
test, other factors involved will also
be aseertained and recorded. The
ration to be used during the test is
d scientific combination Of forage
crops with velvet beans, and the fom-
ula, together with the results attained
will he published at the conclusion of
the feeding tests at the Lowry farm.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Marshall and
others interested in the tests not only
to develop the rare value of the vel
vet bean as feeding material upon
which to fatten beef cattle, but also to
develop for the benefit of Sumter coun-
ty stock-raisers an ideal ration, both
cheap and abundant, and which prom

SAY
CALOTA8S ARE
BEST FOR FLU
Influenza and Grippe, Like Ordinary
Colds, Require CalOtabs, The Per-
fected CalOmel That is Free From
Nausea and Danger of Salvation.

Physicians and druggists claim that
the great epidemic of influenza has
conclusively demonstrated that the
quickest cure for cold and the best
preventive of pneumonia is to keep the
liver active so that the digestive or
gans may be in perfected condition.
For this purpose CalOtabs. the new
nausealess calomel that is freed from
the sickening and salivating effects, is
the most thorough and dependable, as
well as the most agreeable laxative.
Calotabs have the special advantage
of not making the patient sick and
weak, as they are free from the nau-
seating and gripping qualities and do
not upset the appetite One Calotab

that's all No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next morn
ing your liver is active and you are
feeling fine with a hearty appetite for
breakfast.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,

are not glad you got them adv

Warming ISSUED BY
Agricultural Department,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Farmers
of the South were advised in a state
ment just issued by the department of
agriculture, that it would be wise to
adjust cotton acreage this year so as
to have available sufficient land to
produce enough food and feed for
their families and live stock
eff industrial conditions in all the
cotton-consuming countries do not
reach normal and if the industry is
not restored, the consumption of cot
ton will be substantially less than pre-
war average requirements, said the
statement. With practically complete
restoration, cotton consumption may
well be expected to equal the normal
or pre-war times on account of the
present shortage of cotton goods in
various countries. The economies
which the people of Europe must prac-
tice for some years to come must be
considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 13,0l0,0 900
bales; domestic requirements, $780,
900 bales The American 1918 crop is
estimated at 11,700,000 bales After
domestic consumption requirements
are taken care Of there will be an
eXportable surplus of 100000 bales.
Other producing countries have an es-
timated surplus of about 3,1S0,000
bales, making total present surplus
stocks for the world about S,280,000
bales, against 100000 bales in re-
quirements. The apparent deficit,
therefore, is 4,7S0,00O bales, the de-
partment's statement says, but from
this gross amount should be deducted
Ghe carry-oyer at the end of the 1918
10 season. Unless there is a very
marked increase in exports, there will
be considerable carry-over Esti-
mates of the carry-over are placed at
$4,000 bales With carry-over of
that amount, the apparent deficit is re-
duced to 100000 bales.
Pointing out that the 1913 yield was
greatly decreased by unfavorable
weather, the departments statement
said the same acreage this wear with
average weather, would produce al
least 100000 bales more than the
1918 crop.
"In many sections of the South" said
the statement, diversified farming
should be practiced to larger ex-
tent Many farms and plantations are
still devoted entirely to cotton and
fail to produce sufficient foodstuffs for
the families or feed for the live
stock. Such system is hazardous,
since success or failure is dependent
upon a single crop, subjected to the
influence of the weather, insects, dis
eases, transportation and markets. A
careful study of the situation has re-
suited in the recommendation that
each farm. each community and
each section of the South should pro-
duce as far as possible its own food
and feed for the sake Of economic

Not that there is any significance in

that up to this afternoon the Americas

night before the members were given
raise in pay to keep them from
walking out in a body and leaving the

the city doesn't need a fire depart
