HOW WE MADE GOOD
MONEY LAST YEAR
Hastings Declares That Southern
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Years Prosperity, If
They VIII

s Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD-"The gen
Akaiity OF Southern farmers made real
money out Of their farming operations
- 1919, more profit than most Of them
ever made before, despite boil weevil
anfavorable seasons and labor short
age"
This statement was made recently
by Fl. G. Hastings, president Of both
the Southeastern Fair Association and
sshe Georgia State Chamber Of Com
nierce, 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
ewned their cotton when it was made
instead of owing it 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 aoJy termed Safe Farming which
is nothing more or less tiNap 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 or
other cash crop is, either directly or
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-
lowing the only way that insures per.
manent farm prosperity, home pro-
ductfon Of home food and grain needs.
We can repeat this money making in
1890 by following the same common
sense way that put US right last year
and will keep US right in 1920 and
every year, IL we follow it up and not
gamble in cotton planting.
It's a great temptation to gamble
in cotton in 1S20-gamble in cotton
IN the field, which is just as bad as
gambling in cotton on the New York
or New Orleans exchanges, 1 know
some folks who are planning to
double cotton acreage this year. They
are headed for disaster sooner or
Later. The wise farmer will play safe
In 1s2o-play safe by doing safe farm
ing"

, booked up for the next fifteen
months" he said. -and I know sew
eral of our prospective customers
are anxious to pay much higher
prices IL they c&p get quicker de-
livery. OF the whole number OF or
ders I have received ] have had to
decline 80 per cent OF them: in other
words, were my supply nine times
as big as at present ! could dispose
of II without the slightest difficulty.
"Our present price is 2s5 sterling
(current rate of exchange $l,1s0)
and our power is about twenty
four. the nearest approach to that
power and our price in English cars
Is a little eight-horsepower BIeriot,
which is a .joy-rider,' pure and
simple"
The agent of the Cadillac was
still more optimistic. II am not go
ing to prophesy," he said, because
the last time l did II was when we
heard about SO Ia per cent import
tax on all cars from abroad. /
thought then that we would have
to close down on imported cars. No
car could stand such an imposition
as that, and looked for a boom in
the homemade product.
But even then. as they are to-
day, the British manufacturer can
not produce one-fiftieth of the de-
mand there is for automobiles In
this country. and, in spite of having
to pay one-third more, the demand
for American cars increased rather
than deprecated"

tested for the defects mentioned the
valve springs should be measured
and examined. A weak spring is
likely to cause a lot of trouble.
Place the spring on a level plate
and with the eye notice IL IL is out
OF shape or smaller than any of the
others. Usually you can stretch and
bend the spring so it will return to
its normal shape. but where the
spring temper is lost bending does
not prevent the spring from falling
into almost any position when in
use. II a spring is known to be
weak because of weakened metal
the best thing to do is to get a new
spring, or as a temporary measure
put a lot of washers under it to
compress II still more so as to get
a little added pressure.
When the valves are out Of the
engine and the heads are badly cat-
bombed grinding is resorted to to
make the joint between face and
seat accurate. In the shops the
grinding, is a matter of a few min
utes because the valve is refaced
with a special tool and the valve
seat has a new surface cut with a
reseating tool. Then the valves are
ground as a sort OF finish operation.
Without these tools compound must
be used to grind the valve to it's
seat. Valve grinding compound may
be bought at any supply store. 4
little of it is spread over the face of
the valve, the valve placed in its
proper position and a valve grinding
tool or screwdriver or brace is used
to oscillate the valve until the face
and seat are an even gray tone. The
valves are removed occasionally to
see whether they are finished.

London, May S-British agents
for American cars do not antici-
pate for one moment that the in
creased tax on motorcars as pro-
yided in the new budget for Great
Britain will retard in any way the
present unexampled demand for
automobiles manufactured in the
United States. Although the latest
IMPOSITION of one pound sterling
per horsepower (more than $Ioo
annually for Ford owners) de-
clared in the budget will be a
, shardship in many ways to the
present users of cars, especially
the poor doctor, it cannot pos
,sibly lessen the great demand
which exists at this moment for
motorcars.
Ford's agent in London told
your correspondent that although
the poor mans car, like theirs,
was harder hit than any of the
other lower-priced cars manufac-
tured in Britain-mainly on ac-
count of their higher, power-he
did not think that had the tax been
double that declared by the chan
eellor of the exchequer there
would have been the slightest de-
crease in the number of orders.

BABY RACERS TRIED

at Oriental Park today and in rattling
good finish Friction, a bay filly by Assagai--
She was well schooled, and when 1t came
to racing she ran true and gamely, but
she was trng some at the end and won
by only three parts OF length from
Maricusa- with Little Pointed third.
Maricusa, coupled with General Agra
mont. was made an odds-on choice at to
g. She was very unfortunate right at the
start, when she was knocked back and
her winning chances were ruined, but she
stuck gamely to her task and. closing
with rush. was wearing the winner down
at the end. The quarter mile was run in
twenty-three seconds.
Hamilton A.. after many unsuccessful
attempts, finally won a race when he led
home a good field in the fourth event, de-
featng Top o. Morning by head. Kederis
broke him off well in his stride and he
soon had a long lead, but in the last six
teenth he began to get leg weary and just
lasted long enough to win. Top o. Morning
was length and a half n front of Crom-
we'll The latter was an even money
favorite but met with some early in
terference but for which he might have
been much closer at the finish.
Brizz never left the result Of the sec

by three lengths from Buster Clark, which
