"Qua1'ty Production

A MIDDLE Georgia merchant and buyer
n OF farm produce, being DESTROYS of
lending helping hand to farmer con-
stituents who had raised food crops, got to-
gether carlOaod of sweet potatoes and ship
ped them to a commission broken in Cincin-
natl His loss on the car was nearly two
hundred dollars.
Why did he lose? Investigation of his deal
disclosed several reasons. In the first place
he failed to separate the culls from the
first-class potatoes, and the culls brought
down the average market price. Second he
tailed to pack his crates as full as they
would hold, so that the jolting in transit
shook them down and they were not full
crates, but short crates, when they reached
the market. He failed to load his car to
maximum capacity, with the result that he
was required to pay the freight rate on a
fully loaded car. Finally, he shipped his po-
tatoes to market that was already well
stocked.
This mans experience illustrates the ne
cessity for quality production of farm prod
ucts, coupled with recognition Of CONNER
cial requirements. Over and over the point
has been stressed by the various agencies
taking part in the movement for diversified
agriculture in Georgia, but it has not been
stressed enough to get fully home to the
minds of the farmers, and it cannot be
stressed too much.
What is true of sweet potatoes is equally
true Of all other food and feed products.
DR.. Andrew M. Soule is authority for the
statement that one bushel of first-class 20
tatoes put on the market and one bushel of
culls fed to hogs are worth more money,
in the final reckoning, than both bushels
put on the market. The point of the ar
gu ent is that people paying money for
sweet potatoes want first-class potatoes, not
first-class potatoes mixed with culls.
Georgia corn is depressed in the market
because it often runs mixture of white,
yellow and red corn. Yellow and red corn
is quite as good for feeding hogs, cattle or
work stock as white corn, but the market
wants white corn. 1t behooves the farmer,
| therefore, to make careful selection of seed
corn when he goes to plant. Nubbns pro
duce nubbins, big ears and full grains pro
duce in kind.
| All down the line of Georgia food prod
ucts, the lesson applies. 1t applies to corn
to potatoes, to hay, to cane, to tobacco, to
pecans, to peaches, to apples, to water,
melons, to cantaloupes.
| Georgia peach and apple growers are
making big dividends because they put moth
! ing on the market except quality fruit
Watermelon growers in several south Geor'
gia counties have organized for the same
purpose, enforcing selection and strictes

operation the method. Excellence means
profit; and steady work, with right thinking,
means excellence. The sage who said, IF
man write / better book or make better
mouse-trap than his neighbor. though he
lodge in the wilderness, the world will beat
path to his door," stated truth which pro-
ducers in this fertile Commonwealth should
ponder while they SOW and reap. Wondrous-
ly endowed with treasures of soil and sun,
we have but to use them with skill to win
superiority's reward. In every county from
mountains to sea let leaders in business and
in agriculture urge this principle till it be-
come habitual in our common thought and
practice, and America will make path to
Georgia markets.

WASTED ABILITY

PROVIDING you are an intelligent human be-
Ing you put the money you have to work.
Either invested in sound securities or de-
posted in savings bank it will earn interest
for you.
Buried in a hole under the fireplace OF
stunned away in stocking, it will be a use
less risk.
II you have ability you will, If you are
wise, do the same thing with it.
Ability, left unused, may be brilliant, like
flashes of lightning, but it is no more val.
liable to mankind.
You have doubtless known man. brilliant
men who were barely able to make their own
living.
You have known men Of real talent who
hardly knew where their next meal was com
ing from.
These men knew they had talent, but they
made the mistake of thinking that the talent
would take care of them.
1t will not. Not even genius will do that.
The possession of special ability involves
always the burden of cultivating 1t upon it's
owner.
Paderewskis marvellous musical genius
would be useless to himself and to the world
had ne not spent hours of tedious labor in
it's cultivation.
Michael Angelo, perhaps the most gifted
man ever born, worked harder than any other
of his time, harder than any -aas has ever
worked since, in making his genius shine be-
fore the world.
No man of talent has ever succeeded with
out long hours of toll.
There are many in the world who might
have succeeded, but they depended largely
on others for their support
There is lesson in this for every one. For
IL men so greatly gifted must work hard
throughout their lives, how much more must
the man of ordinary ability labor to make
what he does count
Every man has a little ability of some Sort
The difference between prosperity and power
ty is the difference in the way that ability is
used.
If it is put to work, comfort and happiness
follow. If it is left idle there is little hope
for its owners but lifetime of misery.

OUIPS AND OUIDDITIES

The story of the jobber, with high-pitched
voice to whom the broker said after a tiff,
81 am no longer on speaking terms with you"
fits in with the story of chief clerk who had
row with his employer one afternoon.
Next day when the clerk got to the office he
was surprised to find that the head of the firm
was not feeling we'll and would not be at the
office that day. ooh, dear me-" said the clerk,

A singularly unlovely lady had just enter

tonholing his long-suffering acquaintance,
jerked his thumb in the direction Of the new
conner and said, with proprietorial pride:
"My better half"
With frankness which had more than
once got him into trouble, the too-candid
friend, appalled, at the lady's lack Of charm,
blurted out, ruthlessly: "Then I should scrap

A merchant had advertised for boy. Lats
in the afternoon a redheaded, freckle-faced,

DYNASTIC AMERICA
By DR.. Frank Crane

Henry H. Klein, First Deputy Commits
sioner Of Accounts of the City of New York,
has recently published volume entitled,
"Dynastic America and Those Who Own
It."
The book is an argument in favor OF the
limitation of private fortunes.
Whatever we may think Of Tire authors
conclusions, the facts which he marshals to
buttress it are of intense interest.
He shows that the great wealth Of this
country, which is the richest nation in the
world is controlled by very few people.
While the world has been upsetting the
dynasties of Europe, more and greater dy-
nasties have been arising in the United
States than ever existed in the Old World.
The wealth power of the American dy-
nasties is greater than all the king power
combined.
The dynasties he lists as the Dynasty Of
Oil, the Dynasty of Copper, the Dynasty of
Beef, the Dynasty of Coal, the Dynasty of
Steel, the Dynasty of Railroads, the Dynasty
Of Gas, Electric Light and Traction, the Dy-
nasty of Ships, the Dynasty Of Tobacco, tie
Dynasty of Rubber, the Dynasty of Sugar,
the Dynasty Of Telephone and Telegraph,
and others.
Several of these are ruled by the same set
Of men and families.
The Dynasty of Oil is ruled by RocIefel-
Ter, who is the richest man in the world,
owning or controlling some two and half
The other dynasties are ruled by small
group of men and families, including Nor
gan, Phipps Baker, Vanderbilt, Swift, Ar
mour, Guggenheim, Hartman, Brady,
Schiff, Ryan, Havemeyer, Spreckels, du
Point, and others.
More than 40 families in the United States
have an excess of 100000 900 each.
More than 100 other families have an ex-
cess of $5O,OOO,O00 each.
More than 800 other families have an ex-
cess of $2O,O00,00 each.
These families control the leading indus
tries, utilities and banks.
The great bulk of their fortunes has been
left to mediocre and inefficient heirs But
their assets can never diminish so long as
private monopoly and the cohesive power of
great wealth endure.
Of 800, 900, 900 stockholders in the leading
corporations of the United States, less than
1 per cent controls. Ownership Of the ma
jority of stock is not necessary for control
While the instinct of the American people
is against interfering with the liberty of the
private enterprise, there is no doubt that it
would be wise to put limit to the extent
to which wealth can be controlled by single
individuals and irresponsible groups.
The best defense against Bolshevism and
revolution is not to attack and persecute
radicals, but to establish justice and equal
opportunity.
Europe is now in chaos because Of the
downfall of her hereditary dynasties.

her own, and no means of earning a living
has to endure her lot the best she can lest a
worse fate befall her.
H'or one must have food, and shelter, and
clothes, no matter how ones heart aches, or

Such have been the women of the past.
Those who had the i'll luck to get bad hus-

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
BY DOROTHY DIX

a JUDGE, who presides over a domestic
~ relations court says that the econom-
ic independence of women is re-
sponsible for the increase in the number of
divorces
OF course it u.s. The only thing in the
world that makes anybody, male or female
stand abuse and ill treatment is not being
able to help themselves. The minute you
make it possible for them to better their
condition, they are going to do it.
The only reason that women have suffer
ed in silence, the insults and affront put
upon them by unfaithful husbands, the only
reason they AVE endured the grinding tyran-
MES of despotic husbands and the par
simony of tight wad husbands, and suffered
the kicks and blows Of brutal husbands was
because they were financially dependent on
them.
There is one code for slaves Another for
free people. The knowledge that she knew
no way to earn dollar, the fear of starva-
ton, the horror of having no safe place to
lay her head when the night came, has been
the hangman's whip that kept many a
trembling wife in order. Every fiber in her
rebelled against the way in which her hus-
band treated her. With her whole soul she
hated him, yet her helplessness bound her
to a marriage that was hell on earth
1t has always been matter of comment
that men exacted much higher an ideal
OF conduct from their wives, than women
do from their husband. No matter what he
may do himself, a man expects his wife to
be as spotless as Mrs. Caesar. He will not
tolerate loOseness, or side stepping in her.
No woman who came rolling in with the
milkman in the morning, with jag on,
would be met by her husband with forgive
ness and cold compress for her aching
brow. No woman ever expects her husband
to forgive her past if it has been a lurid one,
or to shut his eyes to little affairs that she
is carrying on with younger and handsomer
men.
But millions of wives have put drunken
husbands to bed and ministered to them, and
millions Of other wives have gone on endur-
ing the inf1delities Of husbands who flaunt-
ed their flirtations in their very faces.
Men have attributed this to womans
superhuman power of forgiveness, and never
doubted that their wives still loved them,
no matter how they treated them and re-
garded marriage IS a blessed elysium The
truth was that their wives were simply stick
ing to their heal tickets They were endur-
ing them as a lesser evil than hunger, and
homelessness.
woman is just as much digusted with
drunken husband a man is with a
drunken wife. A woman's heart is Just as
much hurt by her husbands disloyalty, and
her honor and pride is trailed in the dust
just as much as mans is by a faithless
