Our Increasing Farm Values.

~> ILATING on the fact that Georgia
farm lands have more than dou-
A bled in value in the last five
wears despite the boil weevil invasion, the
Augusta Chronicle truly says that if cotton
had remained the only money crop this
goodly increase would not have come. One
other crop as good as cotton would nave
held the Georgia farm at its old productlon
value; but the Georgia farmer has proved TO
the world (and, what was harder, to him.
self that he can make as much money out
of any one or two or three or half a dozen
other crops as he can make from cotton.
In that fact undoubtedly lies the basic
reason for the enhanced valuation which the
last five years have brought and also for
their waxing prosperity. So long as Georgia
was regarded as Affection region, the
market for her farm lands was naturally
restricted Many rural homeseekers in the
North and the West who would have come
to this State had they known how varied and
abundant were the resources awaiting de-
velopment, could not be interested because
they took it for granted that only cotton
farmer could prosper here. mistaken as that
notion was, our old one-gallowsed plan of
agriculture made it the almost inevitable
inference of those who judged from afar.
Seeing that with all our plenteous acres and
long growing season we nevertheless spent
millions of dollars in buying foodstuffs from
that we did so as matter of necessity.
But when the record began to change, when
the news went forth that Georgia was COM
ing to be one of the country's bountiful corn
producers, that her vegetables were among
the earliest and most highly priced in the
great markets, that her production Of swine
was exceeded by only two States, while in
all fields of animal husbandry she was forg-
ing swiftly forward-when these and divers
other evidences of her rich resources for
crops other than cotton kept coming to the
country's attention, something of the real
worth of her farm lands dawned upon inves-
tors far and wide, and upon her own peo-
pie as well.
There have been other factors, it is true,
in this remarkab BILE increase of Georgia farm
values. The mounting prices of agricultu-
raj products, especially foodstuffs and the
mounting costs of production have played
a considerable part The fact, too, that most
of the arabic lands in the public domain
have been disposed of, thus reducing the
available supply of cheap agricultural sites,
has had its effect. But it is chiefly to crop
diversification, with it's opening Of fresh
and wonderful opportunities, it's employment
of sound and scientific methods, it's improve
ment in the fundamentals of our agricultu-
raj life-it is chiefly to this that we owe
the doubled valuation, together with the
prosperity and independence which recent
years have brought to pass.

were rich enough to have home like that"
Or, reading in the newspapers of the
coming OF some celebrity from distant shores,
the thought may occur to!you:
ITO be as famous as this man would sure
ly bring happiness to anybody"
Yet again, as the telegraph sends far and
wide tidings Of the election of a candidate
to high office, the idea may intrude:
"How happy it would make me to have
the power that will be his"
If fancies such as these do beset your
mind, l urge you to dismiss them as decep-
tive. Riches, fame, power, never of them
selves bring happiness.
They may, indeed, be productive of un-
happiness. They are certain to be thus pro-
ductive if gained ignobly or put to unworthy
uses.

dlscontent. In every man there is an in
stlnct1ve urge, Categorical imperative" to
ideal behavior. The reward of obedience to
his urge is happiness And happiness can
be won In no other way.
Recall Hamertons saying:
"The happiest life is that which constantly
exercises and educates what is best in u.s.
And ponder with this the words Of more
recent philosopher, Frank Constable, as
found in his curiously difficult yet spiritually
most stimulating book, myself and
Dreams.
Happiness refuses to be caught When
pursued it cries, I not to be caught; !
am a servant of duty; I follow duty. You
catch duty, then I will serve you"
Or, more concretely, again from Consta-
BILE:
World conquerors have had their hours
of glorious life when success has crowned
their personal ambition. But these hours
are not worth the conquerors' past ages Of
rutal conquest, if all have been passed In
life for personal success.
Such men are not happy even in the mo-
= c. victory. Or, if sense of victory can
be read as happiness, the happiness is
evanescent. 1t begins and ends in personal
achievement and it's crowded hour of glory.
"The soldier, on the other hand, who, un-
known to fame, has fought for duty and re-
turned home MANNED perhaps for life, carries
with him for all his future on earth higher
level of happiness from the undying feeling
Of duty fulfilled

lies. Thus alone may happiness be attained

FROM FARM TO CITY

Inquiries by the federal department of
agriculture go to show, that in this state
within the last year $4,000 men and boys
left the farms for work in the cities, while
the reverse movement was only about
Ii, 900.
The recent federal census indicates, it is
said a general shifting of population from
west to east in the past ten years, as we'll
as general movement from country to city
more rapid than Heretofore. After more
than century of progress westward, the
center of population is now turning back
eastward.
These are facts of extraordinary import.
The country for many decades has had an
increasing proportion of population living
in cities. But this has proceeded slowly and
broadly and largely out of scientific progress
in agriculture by which a given amount of
labor applied to the land has been made
vastly more productive. Lately, however, 1t
has apparently been proceeding with I'M
para1leled rapidity and on so sweeping a
scale as even to affect the urban populations
of the west in favor of the east.
1t is not a natural tendency. It's causes
are of an arbitrary character. 1t is prod
uct of the great war and OF those inter-
ferences with the competitive control OF in
dustry growing out of the economic neces-
sites Of the war and Of government action
compelled by those necessities.
But it is here now in the fulness of its
consequences, and the problems it imposes
as affecting tolerable life in the cities ana
their feeding are now beginning to impress
themselves with overwhelming weight IN
many directions.
Immediate remedies will have to be found
as the sheer force of circumstance compels.
But no general and effective remedy can be
found short of removal of restraints upon
competitive industry imposed by wM con-
ditions, whether imposed by government or
by capitalistic combinations or by an undue
growth in the power and exactions OF or
eanized labor in the cities.-NEW YORK

THE WORST KIND OF INFIDEL
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

copyright, 1920, by FRANK Crane-)
AS far back as Solomon men VINO unoer-
stood know that the worst thing that can
happen bad man, cheat, sneak, or
rogue is to succeed.
It is we'll to remember that the end or
every hog is the slaughter house. Sooner
or later the butcher gets him.
The worst kind of an infdel is the man
who loses his belief in the value OF being
straight, Clean true, and kind. You may
doubt the New Jerusalem and the bad place,
you may be a skeptic about Gabriel ana
Jonah and Mrs. Eddy and Our Lady OF
Lourdes, and possibly you may worry along
and be a tolerably decent sort OF man; Dut
if you fall into a belief in the omnipotence
of skulldruggery, chicanery, and Diuster'
you're sure IN bad way
Put away all this manner of talk. It's
bad It's worse than bad, It's weak.
THERE'S no use being honest; It's the
smooth rascal that gets there. II you want
to get on in this world you must Dlutr. me
fellows who do good work are not those
who hand out the con. Lies confidence
game. The bunco man 1s king.
In sense there's some truth in that.
But success is not everything. A man has
his life to live. He has to keep face
that he is not ashamed to look at In the
glass while he is shaving. He has to keep
mind and memory that will let him
sleep. He has to keep mouth fit to kiss
he has to keep eyes that are not afraid to
look in to the eyes of his children.
And, more than that, he wants to feel
glad while he's doing it. The half of hon
esty is lost if it doesn't make you feel good
Goodness with contentment is great
GAIN" says the good book. And the fact
is that disconnected goodness Is half rotten
When you sit down to game OF cards, or
of chess, or of dominoes, in order really to
enjoy yourself you want to resolve rwo
things-first, to try your best to win, and
second, to look pleasant act pleasant, and,
as near as human frailty will permit, to
feel pleasant, if you should lose.
And the game of life and love and bust
ness needs about the same attitude of mind.
Go in to win Get to the head Of the
class; sell more goods than any other sales
man; make more money than any of your
relations; marry the girl you want!
But suppose you lose? 1t is then you are
discovered. If you sulk and are sore, il you
begin to give reasons why you really were
the one that should have succeeded If you
decry the winner, why, you are small. That's
adjust petty and mean. But If you bob
up smiling, bear no malice, wish the best
man luck and don't pout, then, ten to one,
you a better man than the victor.

Macon- Brunswick Highq0Qy

gwyHE meeting at Hazlehurst of the State
Highway commission was an oc-
casion of more than usual interest to
the progressive citizenry Of Southeast
Georgia who have united in promoting the
construction of the so-called Macon-to-Bruns-
wick highway. Hazlehurst is about midway
between Macon and Brunswick, along the
line of the proposed highway, and the meet
ing of the commission there enabled it's
members to get first-hand information re-
specting the strength of the sentiment that
has been developed by the Macon Brunswick
Highway association, which recently was or
ganized at Brunswick.
The Macon-Brunswick Highway association
originated at a joint conference of the
Brunswick Board of Trade and the Glynn
county commissioners. The organization
committed itself to labor increasingly for the
construction of modern highway between
Macon and Brunswick via HaWkinsville,
Eastman, McRae Lumber City, Hazlehurst,
Bailey and Jesup.
The State Highway Commission, in a
commendable spirit of cooperation, agreed
to meet with the members of the association
at Haz1ehurst and the joint conference was
the result of this agreement. The counties
along the route of the proposed highway
were we'll represented at the conference, and
1t may be accepted as certain that the move
ment will receive stimulus and encourage
ment that will be well deserved
The proposed highway is entirely feasible
and conforms with the provisions of the state
n1gnway law, which recognizes the county
seat to county-seat plan for Georgia's sys-
tenn of highways. Practically the entire
route OF the highway is within the Eleventh
congressional district, which, under the an
portlonment Of highway funds, will receiye
half million dollars for it's share during the
current year.

eff members of the house want to know
just how much attention the people are pay
ing to their deliberations in Washington,
they may be able to learn something by ad-
vocating the removal of the $4,000 exemp
ton on incomes. 1t will create political
issue that will be understood by practically
every voter who is earning his own living"
Nevertheless, such papers as the PH1LA-
DELPHIA RECORD (Ind. Dem.) declare the
"chief reason" for the complicated ma
ture of our taxes sis that the provision OF
a revenue is not the only purpose Of the tax
laws" but that they were designed Ito pen
alize wealth and secure more equitable dis

necessary revenue, and not to accomplish
certain sociological ends But actually it

of the large taxpayers, and it adds enor

of national election" But "the time to

legislators do not act before June, the FORT

is not going to permit the solution of impor-
tant problems to lie over until after the cleo
