pickers III the country TO take care of
the crop.
We have only about forty precent
as much acreage this year as last,
but we still have less machinery for
gathering than is necessary. Go at
the business in business style. You
owe the peanut crop much prepar-
alton as is necessary. You have gone
a long way in your cotton plans,-
have spent a good bit OF money to
make the crop profitable. You will
have to do likewise to make peanuts
profitable.
Many crops of peanuts rotted in the
fields last year Those crops could
have been saved to the growers had
the picking machinery been supplied
and the price Of the saved crop
would have paid for the picker AS
it is now, there are no peanuts and
no picker, but still there is the loss
of the crop That's bad business
management, nothing less.
You may say bad things about u
if you desire, but we just must tell
you that the peanut crop deserves
better consideration at your hands
Get your picker and use it when the
season permits Don't wait till the
other fellow has finished his and his
and his neighbours neigh
boris crops before he reaches yours
The peanuts will rot again They are
worth something. There is money in
them. You are wrong if you still hold
to the opinion that you can fight the
elements ana the boll Weevils and the
high costs of production and then
make money ON cotton Change that

THAT LOCAL HOSPITAL

We have on a former occasion ex-

some manner meet the needs of the
community We wish again to refer
to this thing. for at this stage, ex-
preston of sentiment will mean all
with those who are about to reach a
conclusion as to how to proceed to
get the hospital plant.
The Dispatch is not in error wher
it states that the whole wide com
munity wants the hospital Every
man and every woman acquainted
with the situation will readily admit
hat this is one OF the creates;
needs of the times in Cordele When
il comes to matter of saying the
people want it, it is to determine.
The real CuX of the thing is the
plan whereby the hospital plant can
be secured, the kind that is needed
1t must be constructed and paid for
before the movement is stopped No
one can hope to do anything with a.
hospital plant built on credit with
a view Of paying for it out of the
earnings 1t takes the earnings to
maintain a good hospital or there

the plant out of the earnings and

We want an even start and a good
hospital. There is world of service
Tor such an institution to render and
