PRoFTT-PAYTNG FARMS.

Atlanta Constitution: The Dublin
(GaD Courier-Herald stresses the
need for more self-sustaining farms,
with greater diversity Of crops in
every farming district, and in an edi-
torial on Cotton and Hogs" it has
these notable paragraphs:
1.-The farmer who grows ten acres
Of poor cotton, and, at the end of
the year, owes it all for hog and
honiiny, dosen't put much money into
the bank.
"The farmer who grows five acres
CT good cotton and raises corn and
hogs to feed his fansily on the other
five can, at the end Of the year
bank his cotton money as clear profit.
"That farmer is the kind of farmer
the south wants to see more of-the
south needs more of-and this state
is producing more of every year"
And Georgia can't have too many
farmers of that kind-making every
acre give a good account Of itself,
and not only raising plentiful sup
plies for home consumption, but
profitable surplus for outside mhrkets
The Dublin paper well says that
"every agency that has the welfare
# the southern farmer at heart en-
courages diversified farming instead
of the all-cotton system"
The record of diversified farming
is the one to bank on, for it has been
demonstrated time and again that
greater food stock of all kinds on
every farm. "will make money for
all of us in the south, and swell the

OUR FIRST ARGUMENT

Long. serious articles have been
written to prove the folly of attempt
ing to establish lines or sharp dis
tinctions between Capital and Labor
in this country. but really such grave
dissertations are unnecessary The
obseryant eye sees proof of this foIly
every day on the public street A case
in point:
Three men were taking piano up
the steps ef a house The man at Tie
front end was well dressed spectacl-
ed. overcoatcd The two at the other
end Of the box were dirty, 3yer-alled
roug handed But just as it came to
the final tug. one of the oycraled
pair exclaimed to the white shirt at
the front, Cit straight around in
mont of her, George an pull" And
George did as he was told
Now George is a member of the
finn that sold the piano. A few
years ago he was one Of the team
strrs that delivered the pianos. Being
short of help in his store, he lends
hand himself where the need arises
and his men call him by his first
name.
This country is swarming with just
such cases They are the finest argu-
mont f3r free America that We have
They offer the greatest incentive to
ambition that any country in the
world has to offer. SO long as this
country remains one in which the
men call the boss by his first name,
and when need arises the boss gets
round in front and pulls with the
men. all the labor agitators in the
world can't do any lasting harm

renee can be divided into two sections.
one an international section OF one
hundred and thirteen miles along the
boundary between the United states
and Canada from Lake Ontario 20 ST.

Il is the opinion Of engineers that
the river along the international
boundary ought 70 be improved by
power simultaneously. while the lower
river can be more economically i'm
proved by separate canals for water
and power. In other words. while
nothing is definitely settled. il Is pre-
sumed that the plans will provide for
drowning out the rapids In The inter-
national river by two dams. that some
way will be devised 10 improve the
Canadian section and that the mini

twenty-five feet. the locks thirty feet
in depth and eight hundred feet long.
The international part OF the river has
horsepower equal to that OF three
