LLOYD COUNTY we'll, may rejoice III
II the fact that it's farmers are planting
liberal acreage Of forage crops, such
as alfalfa, sorghum, soy bean and coWpeas,
and also are developing their pastures, as a
foundation for extensive live stock produc-
ton. Never was this policy more warmly
commended by science and common sense
alike than at the present juncture, when all
but the most conservative ventures in cotton
are dangerous and when an ample food out
put is the only promise of independence and
prosperity.
Years ago Investigation came to be the
chief theme of practical counselois on Geor-
gia agricultur- and the ruling plan of for
ward-thinking farmers. Corn, pig and can
ming clubs and kindred enterprises among
the farm lads and their sisters served to SOW
the new ideas in peculiarly fertile soil. At
the same time special courses offered by the
State College of Agriculture, together with
its extension" service and The work OF the
demonstration agent, reached multitude OF
planters who formerly had no practical en-
couragement in breaking away from the cot
ton tyranny. The results became evident in
business as we'll as in agriculture. Counties
which aforetime had been inveterately on a
credit basis and largely on a mortgage basis.
began to pluck up the spirit that comes from
ready cash; and e foodstuffs were raised
most abundantly and in widest variety, the
cash system throve most vigorously and bore
the goodliest fruitage Of prosperity.
1t is to this tendency that Georgia owes
her longest strides in economic progress dur
ing the last decade or so, and along this
same Inc will her most substantial attain
ments in the years just ahead be made. AS
long as cotton held the whip hand, there was
bound to be moro or less slavery to debt;
and wherever it rules today, that is the CO.
Moreover as long as cotton monopollzed SOIL
and energy, great empires of resources ana
opportunities were certain to go neglected.

TO CHECK SENILITY

"A M 1 right" a correspondent asks,
II "in believing that the cultivation

mental vigor even in extreme old age and pre-
vent anything resembling reversion to child

| In so far as second childhood"-senile de-
mentia, the doctors call it's dependent on
arterial hardening, the cultivation of poise
will most certainly be found helpful For
poise implies emotional control, and emotion
al control contributes appreciably to keep the
arteries in good condition.
Worry, anger, fretfulness, these and psychic
states akin to them, aggravate and may even
cause hardening of the arteries. They are
psychic states from which the well-poised
are free Hence the helpfulness of poise in
checking senility.
But of still greater helpfulness in this re-
spect is the keeping of ones self not only we'll
poised, but keenly interested in many things.
1t is not the poorly poised mind so much
as the inert, the vegetative mind that tends
to senility. Energetic thinkers, keenly inter-
ested thinkers, may indeed become senile
They are always less likely to do so than
persons of narrow and feeble interests and a
proclivity for using their minds no more than
necessity requires.
This is why in every discussion of the prob
lem Of caring for old people we find the best
authorities pretty unanimously urging, with
Elmer e. Jones:
''Those who have charge of the aged should
study the individuals carefully in order to
discover habitual activities which have been
retained and in which interest is still alive
Effort should be made to stimulate these
activities to the end. To GLOW one of them
to lapse is to reduce the mental capacity so
much, and to render the subject so much more

cooled down. He determined to try woman's
weak point-dress-and he remarked in a
pleasant voice, II see dresses are to be worn

But the hard lines at the corner of her
mouth were still there. ''Wen, if they are
to be worn longer than I am compelled to
wear NINE" she said bitterly, "they will
have to be made of sheet iron" And then
it began all over again.

that had visited Sludmush-on-Sea had just
finished modest celebration of his sides vic

catching the train back. The vicar saw him
and congratulated him on his success.
"But I hope the enjoyment of your visit

added the vicar. II hope you have been

Royal upset
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of
Spain had a narrow escape from death this
week. They were motoring to the Hippo
drome to attend the races when a tire on
their automobile burst, causing the machine
to skid and finally overturn.
Officers Of the military escort came quickly
to their aid. The king and queen were much
shaken up, but received no serious injury.
Insurance Figures
Figures compiled for the Unique Manual
Digest for 1921 from special reports by 2SS
insurance companies doing business in the
United States show total insurance in force
at the close of the year, December Il, 1920,
of 3,319,972,742, a gain of of $6,924,-
1874, 400 for the year 1920. Total admitted
assets were $7,632,S45,4 49. Payments to
policy-holders for the year 1920 were $682,-

WOULD FERTILlzE THE AIR
Scientist Sees Immense Possibilities
In Scheme Which He Claims 10
Quite Feasible.

Recently men have undertaken to
mine nitrates, or some Of the mate
rial for nitrates, from the air. There
is nitrogen enough in the air, no doubt,
to blow civilization off the earth
were that nitrogen concOcted into ex-
plosiveS.
Now comes a hopeful German SCI
enlist named Riedel. who believes
that the air itself may be fertilized
to such an extent that plants will
bound forth from their seeds like ten
mis- balls. He would fill the air where
giants are imbedded with carbon d.
oxide (carbonic acid gas). Plants
love this gas as fresh-air crank loves
the out of doors. They use 1t ambi-
tIously, but could use more. Man
expels 1t with his breath. Plants take
It up and expel oxygen. which man
can use. Thus men and plants are
mutually helpful. But more carbon
dioxide Is always good thing for the
vegetable world. and Doctor Riedel
proposes to supply more. +
He would get his supplies from the
blast furnaces, whose great lungs ex-
pei this gas. An Industry which uses
1900 tons of coke per day expels 35.-
100000 meters of gus, Of which about
20 per cent is carbon dioxide. Doc
tor Riedel has tried fertilizing the air
In this way. and his happy plants have
fiorrished amazingly.

WILD DOGS CAUSE PROBLEM
Threaten to Wipe Out the Sheep 10
dustry In Some Breeding Districts
In Australia.

Wild dogs are presenting a serious
problem In Australia, according to a
Central News dispatch In the London
Westminster Gazette. The correspond
ent at Broken Hill, New South Wales,
SAYS that unless immediate measures
to protect the flocks Of sheep are
taken, they viii have to be replaced
by cattle In the districts north OF
Broken Hill.
The seriousness Of the situation Is
described by John Dunno. president OF
the West Darling Pastoralists' associa-
ton. who states that, although there
has been q good season, pastoralists In
the Darling River district and north as
fur as the Queensland border are faced
with one OF the greatest problems
within the memory Of settlers In that
part Of the country.
Reports are coming to hand from
nil parts OF the district" he added, "of
the enormous losses incurred owing to
the prevalence Of wild dogs. Already
country which before the drought was
admirable sheep country, Is now
stocked with cattle. and likely to con-
tinue to be stocked unless the dog
nuisance is successfully dealt with"
Last year the western vermin board
was formed at wilcania and the gov
ernment then In power granted $780,
600 for fencing In the western division
against wild dogs. but owing to a
change OF g9ernment since that time
none OF the honey has been forthcom-
ing and thdwild dogs have now come
right into ye western division and are
creating hEoc among the fioeks.
