Farmers Diversity
Crops, Brown States

ATLANTA, May 18th-Crop di-
versihcation, the branching out in
the production of food crops that
will find ready sale, and the inaugu-
rating of new selling methods have
followed the decision of Georgia
farmers to reduce the production of
cotton in this State. From. many
parts of the state reports are being
received by the state department of
agriculture of farmers organizing
county farm bureaus, inaugurating
cooperative selling methods a
planting food crops on land that
previously has been devoted to cot
ton. County demonstration agents
in many counties in Georgia report
much activity among farmers to in
augurate advanced methods and to
get out of the one-crop idea that so
long prevailed over the South, gen
orally. 9ks'F -
In addition to other crops, it is re-
ported that truck farming is being
tried as an experiment on many
farms in close proximity 2ton Sfown
and cities. Fruit is also cultivated
with more interest apparently than
heretofore. The watermelon crop
promises to be larger. than ever
before.
Georgia watermelons are famous,
of course, as pointed out by fruit

THE TESS HOME ECONOMICS AMEND

Notwithstanding woman runs the home
and brings up the child Children grow up to
be men and women. Men and women are the
nation. Any educational opportunity which
teaches the woman to do her job better means a
better nation. This is the substance of the argu-
ment for the passage of the Fess Home Econom-
les Amendment which had good running start
in the last Congress and which will be of the
first pieces of Legislation brought up at this pres
ent Congress.
The bill receives its popular title, "Fess Home
Economics Amendment" because it was intro
duced by the genial Simeon P. Fess Representa-
tive from Ohio, who introduced the measure in
the House of Representatives and has promised
to introduce it again. Indeed, Congressman
Fess has been nicknamed Vocational Educa-
ton Fess because OF his actively expressed in
terest in that method of training
Women,s organizations have expressed them
selves strongly in favor of this measure. Ma
tional organizations which have gone on record
in its behalf are the American Home Economics
Association, the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, aNtional League of Women Voters Ma
tional Society for Vocational Education, Nation
al Congress of Mothers and Parent Teachers
Associations, Deans of Women in Colleges the
" ocatlonal section OF the National Educational
: Association, National Council of Executive and
Administrative Women in Education, National
Grange Land Grant College Association, Nation
al Women's Christian Temperance Union, and
the National Association of University Women
These organizations hopeful that the bill
will pass this session, since both the Republican
and the Democratic platforms declared them
selves in favor of vocational education for WON
en-. The Republican platform declared that Fed
eral aid for vocational education training shoulc
take into account the special aptitudes and need.

OF home economics as meaning just two subjects

ing aafevery important but the home maker
needs to know more than that. She cannot lust
sew without knowing how to select durable
materials and how to design attractive as well
as sensible clothes. Most of all she must be
taught how to care for children, how to keep the
whole family well, and the methods of home

others in juicy sweetness, and their
shipment to northern markets will
prove, as heretofore. profitable
business. In sweet potatoes, too it
is stated here, Georgia will make a
big crop.

state could join in with profit, said

of agriculture. A study of the mar
kets, through the State Bureau of
Markets, will show them many
things that can .beraised with profit.
Less cotton and more food crops is
the program by which Georgia farm
ers will recoup the losses of the last
two years and move on to permanent
prosperity"

If Back Hurts
Begin On Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally if
You Eat Meat Regularly

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
wellknown authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they siuggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
Bile. nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidd eys or your back hurts, or if
the URINE is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sedimentA irregular of passage or at
tended by\a sensation of scalding, get
about four o1nees of Jad Salts fro
any reliable PHARMACY and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for az few days and
your kidneys will then\a fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia and has been \uscd for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity also to neu.
tralize the acids in urine so it nc
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which al
regular meat eaters should take nov
and then to keep the kidneys clear
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

TO MAKE HONESTY THE BEST POLICY

The organization of a Fitzgerald Credit Associ-
alton has been proposed and such an organiza-
ton will probably be formed here soon. The
underlying idea of credit association is to make
the old saying that Honesty is the best policy
true in a concrete and material way as we'll as
in general way.
Credit is one of the best outgrowths Of an
honest and developing civilization. Without
credit it would be difficult to transact any kind
of business or operate any kind of industry
Credit is the cement in the economic structure
of which labor, land and capital are the pillars.
1t is as necessary to the steel trust as to the
grimest wage slave working for the trust, and as
necessary to that worker to the trust.
Unquestionably, the conscientious use of
credit is the best policy, from the most selfish
standpoint as well as from standpoint of per-
sonal honor. However, under a loose and unor-
gained credit system it is possible for the few
careless or even dishonest people that are sprin-
kled among the honest people, to abuse credit
and to cause losses to the firms and business
people who extend it.
One merchant at a recent merchants meeting
stated that he knew people who made the rounds
of all the firms in town. A man would trade a
while at one store until his account grew so large
that the firm hesitated to extend credit. He
would then open account with another con-
Germ and wear out his welcome there After
going the rounds and running up accounts in
every place he could, the man would either move
out OF town or else go back to the first store
with hard luck story, pay up his account and
start the rounds again.
This sort of thing increases the cost of doing
business 1t puts undeserved burden on the
merchant. And the merchant does not. can not
stand these losses out of his own pocket They
must be passed on to the honest customer in the
form of higher prices.
With credit association merchant would
extend credit only to those whose credit is
good" The sheep and the goats would be sep
arated and business efficiency increased by elm
mating credit waste.
However, it will be weN for the credit associa-
ton and the merchants to take the public fully
into their confidence by explaining the WHY'S
and wherefores of credit association. III will
may be in the minds of many customers because
they won't understand the public service of a
credit association. And even people who inten-
tionaly beat their accounts have honest friends
who are good pay" customers. The credit
ASSOCIATION is necessary, but along with it must
go campaign of education that will bring the
customers of the members of the association 70
understand credit better than the average Gus
toner now understands it and its possibilities.

An Old Recipe
To Darken Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray.

Faded, Hair Dark and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streakec
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it al
home, WHICH is mussy and trouble
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug stor& for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
larpe bottle o. this old-time recipe
improved by the\addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this PREPARATION now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell tina,
you darkened you'd hair, as it does il
so naturally and ayeniy. You damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand atSa time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and af-
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young
