Facts About Corn.

Corn production and what is done with it
is a very interesting subject in the United
States which produces three fourths of all
that is grown in the world. 1t is the foremost
crop in this country. exceeding the combined
production of wheat oats and barley for a
long period by one-half 1t is the most pro-
ductive of all the grains, and produces three
times as much animal food per acre as the
other cereals. How it lends itself to the table
is appreciated by millions of Americans, who,
unlike other peoples, find corn bread whole
some and delicious. No nationality has yet
been discoveries that disdains green corn, or
roasting ears"
1t requires great deal of skill and fertile
soil to cultivate corn properly and to effect the
best production. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has devoted more study
to corn than to any other Single CROP thus
recognizing the importance of heavy yield
and the opportunities to develop its culture
The time was when the farmer would not
condescend to adopt the scientific methods OF
growing corn. All he wanted was good
ground, sound seed good mule power and
men handy with hoes Today the farmer has
learned to profit from what the government
experts have worked out in the laboratories,
and is entirely willing to accept their sugges-
tons and TO follow their advice The result
has been enlightenment over a wide area,
while bigger and better crops are produced
with less difficulty and with more assurance
While corn is fairly good grain for ex-
port, Europeans prefer wheat for bread Corn,
however, is exported in enormous quantities
in a different form 1t is easily transformed
into meat. 1t requires but short time for a
few bushels of corn to become the major
portion of a fat hog. The Europeans will buy
the corn in that shape. Most OF the corn
grown in the United States is put on the
market swine. An astonishingly small
amount of corn is marketed as grain, which
may surprise great many persons living in
the corn belt. Showing the close relation be-
tween corn and swine-and it is close as any
one testify who has seen hogs at their
dinner-it is explained that most of the pigs
are Uttered in the spring. They are marketed,
fattened in the fall. The pigs become. shoats
through the summer, and are ready for feeding
when corn natures. 1t does not take long to
fatten, that quick returns on feeders are
possible.

Seeking Another Money Producer.
From the Commerce Observer.

With the boil weevil on hand practically all
over Georgia the thought of farmers and bus
mess men is centered on the problem OF ind
ing another money producing crop to take the
place of cotton. 1t is a serious and all-import-
ant problem, one that cannot be solved i'll a
year or two years. People do not change their
habits overnight. Cotton raising is habit in
the south, as well as an industry.
1t seems the part of wisdom TOR farmers,
merchants and other classes of business men
in every community to join hands in working
out their common problem. Only through CO.
operation can the interests OF all be conserv-
ed and promoted Unity of thought and unity
of action are essential in the big task.
Over and beyond the change of farming
methods and the development of sure markets
for food and feed crops small cities owe it to
themselves to build small industries, which
would give employment to surplus labor Pay
rolls are valuable things. They help directly
and indirectly. No community can hope to
reach large proportions unless it is backed
up by manufacturing enterprises.
Georgia sends millions of dollars to the
north and east for simple, everyday articles
and needs, which could be and should be
manufactured within the state. Here lies an
opportunity for rural communities Manufac-
turing offers the new money producing
crop" in Georgia. Initiative, capital, conf
dence and business acumen properly combin-
ed would bring gold to Georgia.

Public Spirited Women.

"The Little Old Church at the
Forks of the Road. "
From the Carrollton Times.


Who can measure the good wrought by
the "little old church at the forks OF the
road" where our mothers and fathers Wor-
shipped? We thank God that many OF them
are still left in the country where the truth
is taught, and God is worshpped i'll the
good old-fashoned way They are not all
dismantled nor deserted, and thousands are
still finding their way to heaven through the
aisles OF the churches at the forks OF the
road There heaven is still heaven, and he'll
is still hell There the Bible is still the Bible
No sheet is cut out and no sentence ehm1nat-
ed. God is God, and faith abides.
There's a little old church at the forks
of the road-a landmark dismantled and
gray. Where once the warm fires OF human
itv glowed there's column OF ashes today
Yes, an old country church, where the ravageS
OF Time its plan Of destruction pursues--
where the pulpit, deserted, pathetic, sublime,
looks down on the worn-eaten pews And the
old congregation lies sleeping, serene, where
the spread OF Gods Acre enthralls. They
hear not the roar of humanity's tide, nor the
plant when the whppoorwill calls. Thus, the
little church at the forks OF the road dlv1nely
vet mutely holds sway till Time with his
sickle, and Tide with it's goad, shall have
swept the last fragment away. Ihk house
was a mecca OF sinner and saint in the halcyon
DAYS of her youth. From her Holy of Holes
to vestibule quaint they quaffed at the Foun-
tain of Truth; but the spire of the city hath
crowned III its might greater and grander
abode till only the angels may pause in their
fight DER the church at the forks OF the

RELIGION AND LEGISLATION.

Never Get Enough.
and enforce

The Enquirer Sun suggests proper local
school tax whereby every county is required
to spend one dollar for every dollar drawn
by it from the state treasury. That, at
least, will give us more and better common
schools. IS Savannah Press
Our information is that the schools OF
Georgia are very literally supported. Besides
the large appropriations that are made annual
ly by the Legislature for education most of
the countless we believe, levy a local school
tax. Here in Terrell which is comparatively
small in area but an average county in
wealth. local tax for educational purposes
have been collected for good many years,
and in~recent years the levys has been SIS on
the thousand, the maximum that can be col
lected under the law There are comfortable
school houses in every section of the county,
and teachers are paid 500 to $1.10 month,
according to their qualifications Chased on the
grade Of license they hold and the number OF
pupils under them.
Nothing is more important or desirable than
education of the right kind and the schools
should all be literally supported, but the time
has come when the taxpayer-the man who
foots the bills-must be given some consid-
Grafton. In recent years the cry has been moro
and more tax money, and the goose that lays
the golden egg is near unto death. A little
more and there will be no goose. Give her a
chance to recuperate.
In this connection it might be said tina,
money alone will not make good schools
There are other things just as necessary.

FRED MALEVER'S
STORE ROBBED

Some time between Saturday night
closing time and opening time this
morning the north show window of
Malever's Guarantee Clothing and
Shoe Company store was smashed
and some clothing stolen. Fred NAL
ever was in the store yesterday
morning and di not see the broken
window, so he believes the breakage
occurred last night rather than Sat-
urday night.
The robber used steel box from a
large wagon axle as his implement
of destruction. 1t is likely that he
had to throw this piece of steel with
considerable force to break the glass
for it was small pane and three
eights of an inch thick. When he
succeeded in breaking the glass he
used walking stick that was close
to the hole and fished out a suit of
clothes and a hat. The taste of the
man was poor. He selected cheap
gray suit with a green stripe and a
cheap gray hat. Both suit and hat
could have been bought for less than
$50. So far as can be ascertained
these were the only things stolen.

WHY PICK ON FLORIDA Beef
Stanford HeraId)

There is so much said IN the vari-
Gus state papers now about the Flori-
da beef having no market and being
Of no value, and about the ticks, etc,
that a stranger in the state would
4magine that the Florida cattle men
were on the road to the poor house.
Like every other crop in Florida cat
tie, IN a measure, depends upon the
outside markets for a sale, but like
all other crops, cattle can be sold at
hcmel and keep the cattle owners
from starving to death and the out
side world can wag along without
them The best markets for Florida
beef are right in Florida, if the peo-
pie would get that notion in their
heads. We are always trying to buy
something outside CT the state and
the same holds true Of our best beef
and pork and other meats. If hotel
wants chickens or turkeys or ducks,
they usually get cold storage stuff
when they could just as well use the
hcme grown. The cattle men Of
Florida are not worrying about the
cattle business half as much as some
other people. The cattle men are not
asking for any aid from any outside
parties and they seem to be doing
very well and if the specimens of
Florida beef brought into the markets
here In Sanford are an example, the
cattle seem to be doing very well.
And if there is no market for Florida
beef at present, neither is there any
market for the beef of the great west
and southwest, and the cattle men of
those great beef countries are having
just as hard a time as the cattle men
Of Florida and much worse. They
are calling for money and asking for
help and wailing and gnashing their
teeth over the cattle question and
the ticks do not seem TO enter into
the argument at all. We do not see
where this knocking Of the Florida
beef wiz get as anywhere, and this
newspaper, that has always been an
advocate of fence laws and tick laws,
thinks that q more systematic cam
paign could be made for the sale of
Florida meats than such a campaign
of knocks to be made againts the
