As evidence by the delegates to a
great dry goods convention in Aberdeen,
Scotland, a few days since, composed
of American business men, it was the
expression of opinion Of the said
business men that prohibition had
worked a good already for America
Here .is what business man from
Michigan said: "You will be told all
sorts of things about the states and
about going back on the 18th Amend.
ment. That was the constitution for
prohibition. The country is not going
to do that. There is a Big saloon party
in our country. They are chiefly Irish
and GeFhanS and they are fighting
hard, bnt prohibition is going to stay
We areyyoing to see that it does"

liquor business. The leading medical
boards and the better class of druggists
recognize that liquor is not a medicine
and are anxious to have it banned to
keep away from the annoyance of hand
ling it. The enforcement officers are
taking away from the bootleg physi-
clan their permits to prescribe liquor
and it will soon be that it will be
generally recognized that liquor is no
longer considered a medicine. Then
only the moonshiner and the bootlegger
will have to be dealt with.

2so.a little investigation will prove
that all he propaganda of the liquor
people e false. There is not more
crime, there is not more drunkenness,
there is not more poverty than under
the saloon. On the contrary, there is
less drunkenness, less crime and less
poverty. And all the reports that are
being circulated about the condition of
the country Is mostly liquor propagan.
da and false. That the liquor people
have secured a number of the prohi.
bition enforcement officers and are do.
ing all they can to bring the law into
disrepute is true, but the men back of
the enforcement are
in earnest because they know what 1t
means to the country. There is being
a lot of shake-ups in the enforcement
ranks and sooner or later all the men
who are not in full sympathy with
the law will be ousted and earnest men
put in charge and that will rigidly
enforce the law.

The Yolstead Act is a part Of the
law Of the United States and Is as
much in force as any other law, and
1t is as much the duty of every citi.
zen to uphold that law as any law in
force today. The liquor people want
you to feel that the law is ineffective
They want you to talk as though the
law can not be enforced. They are
using you, when you talk that way

THERE IS VIGOR
IN RICH BLOOD
Pepto-Mangan in Liquid or Tab
Iets-a Blood Builder.

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich
when there are plenty OF red corpus
Giles. They are the tiny red cells which
swim in blood and give it its color
Without red corpuscles blood would
be white When overwork, or strain
ing, or illness weakens the blood it
diminishes the number OF red cells.
Without a sufficient number of red
cells the blood becomes watery, the
body weak. Vigor and strength fall
off, so that physical life diminishes
like fading plant. The physical pleas
ures of eating and sleeping and eXer-
else lose all attraction. There is no
zest in living.
After Guides Pepto-M angan has
been taken fer while the blood be-
comes rich with red cells. They help
to nourish the entire system. With
good blood at work there is a great
difference in living. Eating, sleeping
and exercise are enjoyed. All druggists
sell Guides Pepto-Mangan.-adv.

DAN FOR FARMING In SOUTH GEORGIA
AS OUTGROWTH OF THE BOIL WEEvIL PERIL
Dca Changes Our Farm Practice Demanded and State College
wv OF AgricuItre Suggests Program for This Section.

These acreages have been determin-
ed on the basis of average yields. Many
farmers will be able to maintain the
farm with fewer acres by securing
yields above the average. Twenty-four
acres of crop land are required to grow
the necessary food and feed crops.
This acreage for supplying the farm
with food and feed should be provided
for every farm. Notifications, of
course, will need to be made in adapt
ing the plan to Individual farms. For
instance, where wheat is not prohtably
grown on the sandy soils leave it off.
Some will want to add sorghum and
other crops to the list. The important
point is that suficiency of food and
feed be grown. This plan is merely
offered as a suggestion.

URGES THAT BOYS BE KEPT
OFF STREETS AT NIGHT

ant Hill south; also bridges over
Messy creek on road leading from
Pleasant Hill to Brentwood; also two
hills near Walters mill are reported in
bad condition A number of bridges
and holes in roads are reported from
the Fourth district.
We recommend that all jurors be
paid the sum of $500 per day; that
court house bailiffs be paid $500 per
day, and that riding bailiffs be paid
$500 per day.
Due to the fact that considerable
malicious mischief has been reported
to this body relative to boys IS years
of age and under having been allowed
to run on the streets until late hours
at night, we recommend that the city
authorities together with the co-opera-
ton of the parents of these boys en-
force the ordinances which prohibit
such conduct and being out at such
late hours.
We note the heavy expenditures OF
money by our board of county COM
missioners for the past month, and
same seems very large, therefore we
earnestly imp1ore this honorable body
to use strict economy and make every
effort in accordance with good bust
ness judgment that these expenses be
reduced. .......
We learn that a number Of counties
have employed special officer or po-
lice to enforce the prohibition laws.
These officers are working under the
board of county commissioners and
are greatly reducing the liquor traf-
fc, and from conditions that we find
in our county we greatly feel the need
of such an officer and recommend that
the board of commissioners employ
such an officer.
We recommend that these present
ments be printed in The Dawson
News. We extend our thanks to his
honor, w. c. Worrill, for his able
charge and courtesies extended to us,
as well as to Solicitor General B. T.
Castellow for his untiring efforts and
his assistance rendered us during our
deliberations. Respectfully submitted.

Cropping Plans for Two-Mule
South Georgia Farm.

In making plans for a family farm
the present financial condition must
be taken into consideration.
There are many farmers who realize
that some form of livestock farming
would be profitable, and who would
like to engage in the business, but due
to the economic conditions are unable
at present to secure the necessary cap
ital. At the present time hogs play an
important part in the prosperity OF
south Georgia. Production is probably
as cheap there if not cheaper than else
where in the United States. Some of
the most profitable farms in that sec
ton of the state depend upon hogs and
cotton as the principal cash crops. The
favorable climatic conditions and long
growing seasons make it possible to
grow numerous others crops, such as
peanuts, sweet potatoes, sugar cane,
Waternelons, tobacco and truck crops,
but these are more or less speculative,
and should be grown mainly as side
lines.
One of the biggest obstacles which
the farmers in some sections Of south
Georgia meet in adjusting their farm
ing system to boil weevil conditions
is the lack of fences. Where there has
been no stock law many farmers have
been forced to fence their fields. These
have found little difficulty in making
the necessary adjustments because
hogs could be grown cheaply on pea
nuts and velvet beans. The following
plan has been prepared for those who
have their fields fenced 1t is merely
an outline OF what most of the more
successful farmers are now practicing.

has developed to considerable proper
tons in certain sections of south Geor-
gia, and if the marketing problem can
be solved the crop should prove to be
highly profitable, especially in that
section which is not suited to cotton.
Tobacco is highly specialized crop
requiring a particular soil, much hand
labor and detailed knowledge on the
part OF the grower. In those sections
to which it is adapted it has proven
more profitable than other crops that
can be grown on such land. 1t does
not appear, however, to have wide
range OF adaptability in Georgia, but
is limited to the sandy and sandy lean
soils.

nj, svstems of farming outlined in
E;oIIowing article are proposed by
the State State College of Agriculture for
the section of Georgia lying south of
thai ..o drawn through Augusta, Mil
q ,lrna INV; and Columbus. The area is
to t,rn as the Coastal Plain section.
nsny types of soils are found in this
n Won but the sandy and sandy loan

g .t;o6 n in the rainfall in this area.
r rlG',S soil and climatic differences
i ina' affected the type of farming prac-
p.a,,d so no one system can be recon-
usnded for the Who'll area.
~Wost of this region has had the boil

w., WV adjustment has taken place. Many
s ssr,ers. especially those in the area
ia-l' affected by the boil weevil, have
lnorned what crops other than cotton
ne. ral be grown for profit and have
,~'orked out practical balance between
bs.p crops. In other words, they have
asrned by experience about what
orreage of each crop is most profitable.
On the other hand, on the more re-
,.nt1v invaded areas, adjustment to
tnn weeyil conditions is far from com
o oS Even in the older weevil terri
torv there are many who depend too
much on cotton.
The plans proposed are based upon
he experience of those who have been
most successful in meeting the prob
lem brought by the boil weevil Such
,rmers will find little that is new to
them. The information gained by their
syperience is recorded for the benefit
n those who have been less successful
or who are now 'encountering similar
orobems for the first time.
There are two general classes of
arms in the Coastal Plain section
whose problems are somewhat differ
emf, There is the small family farm
operated by the owner or renter and
bis family; then there is the larger
farm operated on the plantation sys-
tenn with the work performed largely
bv sharecroppers. These plans deal
mainly with the two-mule farm, but
by making the necessary adjustments
can be made to fit larger farms.
Cropping Plans for the Two-Mule
South Georgia Farm.
The production OF food and feed
crops is essential to the prosperity OF
the farm in the Coastal Plain section.
No system of farming which does not
provide for the maintenance of the
farm can be considered safe. South
Georgia has made great progress in
the production of foodstuffs. The farm
rs in certain parts OF that region take
great pride in having full smoke hous-
es and year-round gardens. These
have felt the pinch of hardship less
when crop failures or economic con-
dtons left only a small chance for
profit.
Investigators for the United States
department. of agriculture have found
that the following amounts OF food
are used by the average adult white
person on the farms of North Caro-
lima, Georgia and Texas.
