Our Over Lands.


We have in this country here i'm
mense areas of cut-over lands that
can be bought at your own price. 1t
has been definitely proven that
these lands can go proftably into
such perennials as Paspalum Dila-
tstum, Carpet Grass and Japan Clo-
yer. This seems an ideal and a
perfect combination, practically an
all the year around matter. The
initial cost is something but once
it obtains on the land it is there
for good. Outside of this combina-
ton, too, we have worlds of Ber-
muda land and we can increase
these lands if we care to easy enough
for only a few dollars per acre with
Bermuda seed. Very many people,
too, grow Burr Clover as a winter
grazing crop along and in the same
field with Bermuda. In addition to
al of these we have our velvet bean
fields in which we can turn in cat
tie throughout fall and winter and
all of the above progress would have
been impossible while the tick in
this country held sway.

COMMON SENSE COMMENT
(By N. H. Willett in Augusta Chron-
icle.)
Boil Weevii and Cattle Ticks and
Wire Grass

What the, boil weevil has done to
the cotton industry ticks have done
here IN the South to the cattle in
dustry and the dairy industry. The
boil weevil Is no more cruel to a
cotton plant in robbing It of its
fruit than is the tick cruel to the
cow. Every hand that has been lift
ed here in the South against tick
eradication has been an ignorant
hand and a cruel hand. Consider
the infinite sufferings of a poor
COW as bled continuously by these
ruthless feeders. Her bleared eyes
showed her agony and her lessened
weight by hundreds of pounds and
the fact that she gives practically
no milk-all of these things show
not only the suffering but the eco
nomic loss as brought OF by the
tick. The man, too, who cries out
for liberty to raise ticks and who
puts dynamite to watts is usually
the same mar who feeds his cattle
on wire grass, a feed that keeps cat
tie partially alive for three or four
months but in it's dead state can
scarcely keep the grazing animal in
the land Of the living. The other
day in the South a bunch of tick
cattle were sold at five dollars
apiece and in some sections of the
country they have no value at all.

! obtained for the cotton at all sea-
sons of the year, dumping may be
avoided, and the business of selling
cotton like the business of selling
other products, will be orderly. The
regular return of money to every
producer means that the merchant
will the sooner receive his money,
the bank notes will be paid earlier,
the farmer will get rid Of the disease
of always holding cotton for the top
price, and prosperity will knock at
the door of the country.
That cotton will sometimes be
sold at less than it might be other
wise sold none will gainsay; that the
general result of the business will
be to the interest of all none can
with reason maintain, we believe.
The average mar is a very poor mar
keting association, taking one year
with another, we think, all will agree.
He is poor because he does not know
the worlds supply and the worlds
wants, o does the amount of crop
which he holds and controls have any
appreciate influence on the whole,
but the officers of a cotton association
controlling sooner or later from fifty
to ninety per cent of the cotton of
the United States, with knowledge of
every fact affecting in anyway the
proper selling Of u product, can
but mean that we will greatly bene-
fit by going into the organization.
Good men in the past have always
opposed any movement looking to
progress, not because they are op-
posed to progress, but because they
are born and trained on lines so III
ira conservative as to be without
imaginative genius and utterly I'M
able to e any good out of a newly
divised plan. They do not believe
that good a come out of Nazareth.
But "the world do move," and as a
result we r reaping benefits today
from the Federal Land Bank, from
one thing and another which was
thought to smell of heresy, and the
world is better off, and even those
who could not see in advance, from
experience acknowledge the advant-
ages of schemes which they formerly
opposed.
If the farmers of Abbeville Coun-
ty would throw off the thralldom
which the present system of market
ing cotton has brought home to them,
if they would make a price to the cot
ton buyer instead of asking him for
a price, if they would take the chair
and preside at their own meeting, if
they would dominate the cotton stu
alton and get proper prices for the
sweat Of their brows they should
join their fellows in fighting for the
cooperative principle.
This paper believes it will kill in
dustrial slavery on the farms, and
elevate the farming interests of the
state where nothing else is a remedy.

it is the revival of amber Never has

Some Scotch Cairngorm pins are
worn, with their silver mountings and
topaz and amethyst settings. 4 chain

very attractive costume decoration,
while oval unpublished topaz IS most
unique. Italian beads are worn on a
black silk cord, strung AZ intervals. or
on half-inch black ribbon with n large
china pendant for morning with g.ns-

bracelets run the gamut, but CHI
nese bracelets of glass in jade, black

RAILROADS help
FOR BETTER FAIR

EXPOSITION IN DETROIT
FOR ONE-HALF RATE.
PASSENGERS OFFERED
EXCURSION PRIVILEGES

Cooperation Of the railroads
throughout Michigan with the fair adj
ministration to make the Seventy
third annual Michigan State Fair at
Detroit, September LILO, greater than
ever before has been promised, ac-
cording to George w. Dickinson. sec
rotary and manager.
Mr.. Dickinson has arranged for
special privileges for exhibitors. The
railroads will carry exhibits here on
the straight rate and ship them re-
turn free Of charge is what the con
cession amounts TO, he explained.
Arrangements also have been mado
whereby an exhibitor desiring TO ship
to a circuit OF fairs In the state may
secure a half-fare rate. Race horses
of course. are an exception to this
rule. Four big tracks run into the
fair grounds, and, adequate docks
have been constructed there to handle
exhibitions rapidly
Concessions have also been made by
the roads on passenger rates. Any
one in Michigan may secure an excur.
sion rate to and from the fair at a
reduction Of One-fourth of the total
charge. These rates will exist from
the day before the fair until the day
after
With the cooperation Of the rail
roads, Mr.. Dickinson announces an
advance sale OF admission tickets to
the fair throughout Michigan at IS
cents each or three for 81. Anyone
who does not take advantage Of tho
advance ticket sale, which viii con.
tinue until the day before the fair.
may secure admission tickets at the
grounds at soc each. a reduction Of
one-third from las years prices.
Tourists from any part of Michigan
will be allowed to bring their auto
mobiles into the fair grounds after
five o'clock in the afternoon, free OF
charge. The City of Detroit, Which
now controls the street railway sys.
TEN, has agreed to carry passengers
from the center OF the city TO the
grounds for a single fare. Heretofore,
a double fare has been charged.
The fair manager believes these re-
auctions in admissions and the CO.
operation of the railroads and street
railways mean the attendance at this
years exposition will exceed 1927 by
at least one-third.
