HOW We MADE GOOD
MONEY LAST YEAR
Hastings Declares That Southern
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Years Prosperity, u
They Will

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE gen.
erality of Southern farmers made real
money out of their farming operations
in 1919, more profit than most of them
ever made before, despite boil weevil,
unfavorable seasons and labor short.
age"
This statement was made recently
by II. G. Hastings, president of both
the Southeastern Fair Association and
the Georgia State Chamber of Com.
merce, in discussing general farm
conditions in the South.
Very naturally most Of this farm
prosperity is credited to the high
price OF cotton and, Of course, the high
price helped, but the real down-at-the
bottom reason was that most farmers
owned their cotton when II was made
instead of owing 1t for food and
grain bought on credit, as used to be
the case when the practice was to
grow all or nearly all cotton and buy
on credit all or nearly all food, grain,
etc.
present farm prosperity is due
largely to what DR.. Bradford Knapp
head of the demonstration work, has
SO aptly termed Safe Farming, which
is nothing more or less than growing
on home acres every pound of food
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put in cotton or other
cash crop.
"The expense OF making cotton OF
other cash crop is, either directly OF
indirectly, the cost of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items of food and grain can be pro.
duced on southern farms at one-third
TO one-half what those same items
cost from supply merchants.
"We made money last year by fol.
having the only way that insures per.
! manent farm prosperity, home pro.
duction of homo food and grain needs.
| We can repeat this money making in
1920 by following the same common
sense way that put US right last year
and will keep us right IA 1920 and
every year, II we follow II up and not
gamble in cotton planting.
"It's a great temptation to gamble
in cotton in 1920-gamble In cotton
in the field, which is just as bad as
gambling in cotton on the New York
mr. New Orleans exchanges. know
some folks who are planning t.
double cotton acreage this year. They
are headed for disaster sooner OF
later The wise farmer will play SAT-
IN 1s20-play safe by doing SAT,

TENNESSEE ON RAMPAGE.

Last Sundays newspapers brought
the news that in Chattanooga and
nearby towns on Tennessee river
5000 persons had been rendered
homeless by big rise in the stream,
which was expected to reach its crest
at al feet or higher on that day.
Much damage was also done to rail-
roads and highways. The Red Cross
was doing much good work in looking
after the homeless.

MONDAY GREAT DAY
IN LEXINGTON.

The people were here in force last
Monday and to have spent the day
mingling among them would have
been a pleasure to such an 'old resi-
denter" as we have lived to be in this
good town and county-but alas, hav-
ing to ''fry that other fish" kept US
indoors most of the day. However,
we met and talked with many and at
the same time got in a busy day.
Business was good and the people
happy in spending their money
which dealers have no objections to
receiving.

THE RED CROSS
STILL ON THE JOB.

though the war, dating from the
signing of the armistice, has been
over nearly a year and five months
and the battle towns of France have
become as historic for the tourists as
moss-grown cathedrals and ancient
chateaux, reports received at south
ern division headquarters of the Red
Cross shows that to some two thous-
and men and boys in the southeast
the war means as much today as it
did in the blazing autumn of 1918.
They are still fighting their fight, a
desperate, bitter fight against inval-
idism and suffering, fighting it, too,
with a courage and patience as sub
lime as any displayed on the battle
field.
Since last November the Red Cross
has been the only one of the several
welfare organizations to remain, by
government orders, in hospitals,
posts and camps. At Fort McPher-
son, the marine hospitals at Pensa-
cola and Key West, the naval hospit-
al at Oglethorpe, the base hospitals
at Camp Jackson and Camp Gordon,
and the big army tuberculosis hos
pital at Oteen, N. j. Red Cross men
visit every patient daily, write let
tiers to the boys, take messages for
them, do errands for them and strive,
by word deed to "buck them up" and
make their lot bearable.
And a pretty unbearable lot it is
now, the Red Cross men write to
headquarters, for the boys have seen
their pals go home, they have borne
their cross for so many months, it
has been more than year since the
armistice was signed, year and five
months since the war was over-for
everybody but them.
"One of the most difficult jobs is
at Oteen," said a Red Cross man.
There are about eight hundred tu-
bercular patients there, and tubercu-
losis is such tricky, treacherous dis
ease that it's hard to make the boys
do what they should to get we'll. They
can't understand why they shouldn't
go home, and it's part Of our job to
keep them cheerful, make them stay
and get treatment, and write to their
relatives so their relatives will en-
courage them to stay. Again at Gen.
eral Hospital Number Six at Fort
Mcpherson, there are 657 patients,
most of them surgical cases, some
waiting to be operated on for the
dozenth time, some still suffering
from poison gas, others with stiff,
paralyzed muscles"
Reports at headquarters show that
the army is doing some wonderful
things in cases apparently hopeless.
At Fort Mcpherson one of the most
interesting wards is the physio-ther-
apy ward, where men are being
treated by baths, messages and cleo
tricity. Their stiff atrophied mus
cles are being restored to use, fingers
arms and legs made helpless by
wounds or rheumatism are being
taught to function again, and men
are regaining the use of their limbs
who looked for time to be hopeless
cripples.
In providing comfort and cheer for
the men at this and other hospitals,
the Red Cross has the assistance of
local churches, societies and individ-
uals, as well as the services of travel
ing stage artists, singers and other
notables who never refuse an invita-
ton to help the boys for whom the
mar is not over.

TO CITIZENS OF TENNESSEE:

"The atrocious savagery of the
Turks, so inhuman as to be almost in
creditable, has impoverished a once
prosperous race of people and reduc-
ed their numbers by massacre by
three-fourths.
Throughout the Turkish Caucasus
the Armenian people, who were the
first nation to accept Christianity
and who for centuries have been the
bulwark Of civilization against the
Turk, are crying to the world to-day
for assistance.
"These people do not want charity
they want an opportunity to recon-
struct themselves. They are indus
trious and willing to work. But they
are without single resource and
equipment of their own, having been
pillaged of every possession. Unless
we help them they must disappear
from the earth.
-Four million people, half-million
of them helpless children, are looking
to the United States for food, raj
ment and life.
"The Near East Relief Committee
is undertaking to raise $500, 100000
in Tennessee. 1t is claimed that the
expense of this campaign will be paid
by certain philanthropic people, so
that the full amount contributed may
be forwarded to the stricken people.
| give my hearty endorsement to this
undertaking and wish to call upon all
the churches, Rotary and Kimanis
Clubs, and the citizens of the State
to support this cause morally and fl
nancially, so far as they may feel
it their duty to do, to the end that
immediate and adequate assistance
may be sent to these deserving and
heroic Christians in destitute Arme-

BANK MESSENGER
vAN|SHEs WITH
LIBERTY BONDS


Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago
police tonight are seeking George
Frame, aged 90, bank messenger,
who mysteriously disappeared to-
day with $4,000 in Liberty bonds,
the property of the Harris Trust
and Savings bank, In the absence
Of definite cleWs the police We're
undecided whether Frame was 4
victim of robbers in the fog-dark-
ened loop or whether the act was
voluntary.
Frame had been sent to the fed
eral reserve bank to exchange the
bonds for others Of a larger de-
nomination. After exchanging the
bonds he appeared at downtown
restaurant where his bride of a
month is employed as a cashier.
Look at all the money I've got, y
he is reported to have said. In re-
spouse to his wife's exclamation Of
surprise he said: Yves, but I've
got to go back to the Harris bank
with it,
He left the cafe and that was the
last report of him,
Frame had been employed at the
bank only three weeks.
Officers of the bank pointed out
that it was unusually dark in Chi
Cago today and advanced the opin-
ion that it would have been an easy
matter for the messenger to be
slugged and robbed or to have met
with an accident.

Wheat Director Asserts That
Gronna'S Measure May
Be Detriment to interests
of Farmers.
tsr noanlne yousn.. spselAL LEAsso wlssl

tsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
New York. Feb. 6.-Julius Fl.
Barnes, United States wheat direc-
tor. tonight made public a letter to
Senator Gronna in which he terms
the latter's bill for the repeal of
the wheat guarantee act and the
abolition of the grain corporation
as a direct reputation of the
pledge made by congress to the
wheat producers for the crop of
1919,
Senator Gronna's bill, which has
been favorably reported by the
senate agricultural committee, re-
peals the government control over
the price of wheat and requires the
grain corporation to wind up its
affairs without delay.
Mr.. Barnes asserts that at n time
when no one can accurately pre-
dict the trend of prices, Senator
Gronna apparently feels such con-
fidence in his own judgment thai
the farmer will benefit by the with
drawal of government sterilization
that he would Immediately take
from the wheat producer the pro-
lection of the billion dollar guar
antee, which congress has pledged
itself TO give until June /. The
wheat director gives warning that
by abolishing government support
congress may precipitate still fur
Their decline in the price of wheat
even below that of the guarantee
Price, He adds that "only the most
colossal egotism would presume to
forecast the course of prices in the
face of worldwide unsettlement,
which within the past few days has
wrecked the United States export
trade by total collapse of overseas
finance" ~
If congress should repudiate It's
cwn pledge to the farmer, Mr..
Barnes adds, the possibilities of
depreciation in value after the
withdrawal of the government
guarantee are such that 100000
farmers will ask congress "by what
right 1t repudiated the pledged
national guarantee on the under
lying foundation of which the in
fluenee of supply and demand has
built an average premium of 80
cents per abushel."
