Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less calomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style calo<
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and yard off pneu-
monia.

Colored Citizens
Ask Protection
D. Mcmillan Appeals for Installation
Of Fire Plugs In Section.

The Leader yesterday received a
colored physician and representative
! member of the substantial class of
colored citizens in Fitzgerald, appeal
ing to the City Council to provide
adequate fire protection for the eastern
Section of the city. The Leader made
editorial note of the conditions men
toned by Dr. Mcmillan yesterday, and
S glad to publish his letter as follows.
Editor Leader:
NDear Sir:
Will you allow this, another appeal
from me to his honor the Mayor and
City Council Council and the Water,
Light and Bond Commission for some
protection against the loss of proper
ty by fire? The fire Sunday night
was just repetition of what happened
about two years ago when six houses
were burned to the ground while the
firemen looked on powerless to assist
for the lack of water
To the officers OF. Fitzgerald above
mentioned, one and all, gentlemen, in
the name of justice and for the pro-
lection of property and could be life,
I for all the people east of the Sea-
board railroad appeal to you for the
protection needed.
I will leave it to Fitzgerald to say
whether the negro citizens of the city
are loyal to their obligations or not.
If they are then they should at least
have protection against needless loss
by fire. Again I pray you gentlemen
in power to carefully weigh this mat
ter and see if you can not give some
relief in this section of the city.
Yours very truly,
]. H. Mcmillan, M. D.

1921 Cotton To Cost
28c Pound--- Brown
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture
Makes Estimates on Costs

In letter addressed to the Farmers
of Georgia Commissioner of Agricul-
ture ]. ]. Brown announces that a
careful investigation made by the
State Board of Entomology to-
gether with its staff of cotton special
lists shows that on a conservative
basis, the cost of producing the 1921
cotton crop will be % cents per
pound.
In this estimate, Commissioner
Brown states, the present prices OF
fertilizers, calcium arsenate and
other essential materials were taken
into considera ton, and the farmer
was allowed a wage only about half
that paid labor by various corpora
tions over the country Normal sea-
sons and no more than usual ravages
by the boil weevil, were also con-
sidered.
"How can our farmers afford to
plant cotton crop under these con-
ditions, and when the sales now be-
ing made by the exchanges for fall
delivery, are at price just one half
of the known cost of production of
this seasons crop?"

SEES GLOOM FOR
GEORGIA FARMERS
Lack of Proper Distribution Sys-
tenn Causes Trouble
NEED ORGANIZATION
While Barns Overflow in Some
Section; Others in Want

ATLANTA, March 1O.-Georgia's
farmers are in the doldrums. Pessi-
mism is the outstanding feature. And
1t is hanging like a gloom cloud over
practically every farm house in the
State, declares John S. Dennee, crop
statistician for the Georgia Cooper.
ative Crop Reporting Service, a COM
bination of the forces of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates and
the Georgia Department of griculture,
in a statement handed to the press to-
day. The statistician predicts his opin-
ions upon hundreds of reports received
by him recently from farmers in every
part of the State. The text of his re-
marks follows:
Money for farm operations is hard
to obtain. Many farmers cannot get
it at all Seed and labor are high
Commercial fertilizers are offering al
prices practically the same as prevailed
during the World War. The farmers
declare they cannot pay these prices
Retailers of articles used on the farm
are, in general, unreasonable in their
demands. Farm products are selling
at pre-war prices. 1t must be plain
enough from all this that the farmer
cannot farm on the present basis OF
things and make ends meet. Not a
few OF the farmers say that financially
they are down and out.
Must Turn For Better.
There must be turn for the better
and soon, from the farmers point of
view Unless there is there is going
to be thousands and thousands of
Georgia's best acres lying idle this
year. The farmers need and must have
substantial help.
Considerable cotton has been sold
since the first of the year and at low
prices. The producer has been very
heavy looser. The time is fast ap-
preaching when preparations must be
made to plant the next crop. Most
farmers are without funds. And they
cannot secure credit from the mer-
chant or bank that made them advan-
ces last year. Result, they are selling
tor IL cents or Whereabouts cotton
which cost them approximately 80
cents to make.
Need Organization.
Year after year hundreds of Geor-
gia farmers have demonstrated a
unique capacity for working for the
cotton speculator. In a measure lack
OF farm organization and effective mar
keting methods rendered this fatality
inevitable. But if the farmers are to
be believed, this year things are going
to be different. Most farmers say
they are going to slash the acreage
anywhere from rs to so per cent and
plant food stuffs instead. Some de-
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1921-03-11

clare they will buy contract cotton
from the speculator rather than sell
cotton to him, and in that way make
money. 1t is amazing how many cot
ton farmers have awakened to the re-
alization that if they want to work for
nothing and get deeper into debt, the
sure way to do it is to plant this year
normal acreage to cotton
Many farmers reports say that the
boil weevil has survived the mild win
ter and is already modifying to COM
mence activities.
Thousands and thousands of bushels
of peanuts, velvet beans and sweet po-
tatoes are reported on the farms and
cannot be disposed of at any price
A market for this surplusage, includ-
ing cotton, is the crying need
Distribution System Bad.
More wheat, corn and oats from the
old crop reamined on Georgia farms
March lst this year than on the same
date year ago. There is a woeful
shortage reported nevertheless, in To-
calities, and many counties are ship
ping in considerable quantities of these
grains to tide the farmers over the
winter
The area planted to wheat is about
ten per cent over that planted last win
ter, and the condition of the crop is
good. There is slight decrease in
the acreage planted to rye.
The acreage planted to tobacco in
Southern Georgia promises to be as
large or larger than that of last year.
An average decline of about 80 per
cent has been sustained in farm land
values, the farmers say, due to the low
prices of farm products and no de-
mand for farm lands just now. Not
a few farmers are reported as quitting
the farms because they cannot pay the
cash rents demanded and the land
owners are unwilling to accept cotton
as rent, per custom.
Live stock on Georgia farms
shrunk last year in total value about
SOL, $4,000 or 80 per cent This
shrinkage however, is due more to the
lower value per head than decrease
in numbers
