certainly been removed by the secre.

Hughes called these two gentlemen
into an altogether informal conference
and laid before them the United States
proposition. He told them that our

ping portions OF the navies of all three
countries must so through without ma

EARNINGS OF THE SOIL.

Albeit this is a lean year for agricul-
tural profits there is much from which
farmers and farming regions may
gather cheer. According to recent es-
Inmates of the National Census Bureau
the average American farm of be-
| tween one hundred and seventy-four
acres is worth in the neighborhood Of
I fourteen 5laousand, four hundred and
nineteen dollars, and is forty-nine per
cent more valuable now than a decade
ago, aysutaezsAtlanta Journal
That is far from beggarly showing.
This forty-nine per cent in ten years
represents, as the Louisville Courier
Journal observes, "a capital increase
of virtually five per cent year, which
has gone into the safest of all savings,
productive SOIL" Dreams of avarice,
| it is true, will net be satisfied by these.
moderate gains, but sober judgment
will be impressed by them; for after
many high-born adventure has come
to grief, the five per cent farm will
be drinking In the sun and rain and
yielding steady harvests. Years there
are when the average is not maintain.
ed. In 1921 the farmers earnings have
shrunk. But, the census analysis
uoint out, "in 1881 further increase
I'M farm values will be shown, and be-
tween now and then the earnings will
be about five per cent year upon cap
ital, invested automatically" These
figures are subject, of course, to wide
modification for local and individual
differences, being raised by exception
al ability and good fortune, or lower
ed when conditions are contrariwise.
But they bear irrefutable witness that
in the long run and in the main, the
American farm Is faithful rewarded
CT him who tills it.
Particularly interesting are the av-
erage increases in Georgia Good plow
lands in this state have advanced from
| forty dollars an acre in 1918 to forty
nine dollars in 1919 and to sixty-three
dollars in 1920, while the average for
all plow lands, good and poor, has
moved during the same period from
| twenty-eight to forty-stx dollars. With
such a record and with assurance
that 1t will be bettered In the years
ahead, our farmers well may take
courage and go forward.
More interesting than these gains
themselves are the causes behind
them. The extraordinary prices of
farm product during the war period
were responsible in part, but there
were other and more substantial fac
! tors. Good roads, good schools and
churches, convenient and dependable
markets. along with skill and thrift
these ever have been and ever will be
| the prime factors in enhancing the
value of Georgia farms. For these
touch the vitals of social as well as
! economic interest. Every dollar the
! State or the community invests in edu
cation, in agricultural science and re-
search, in the extension and improve.
ment Of highways, in the service and
enrichment OF rural life, Is an invest
ment fer the upbuilding of land values
and for the betterment of the common
veal OF special Importance at this
juncture Is the question of markets
for crops other than cotton. To supply
this pressing need viii be to assure a
! quickened and sustained rate of in.
crease net only In the value of Georgia
farm lands but In every sphere of the
States prosperity.
