cut COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting cash Crop
Production Cost Through Food
Making And Saving.

Atlanta, Georgia.-(SpeciaD.-The
cotton farmer got mis- bumps
again in 1921 between boil weevil, un-
favorable seasons, food and grain buy
ing on credit, combined with a price
on cotton insufficient to pay him out
Same old story, the same thing that
has happened three or four times in
the last dozen years" said II. G.
Hastings. President Of the Georgia
Association, an organization for state
wide development.
1--WE might just as we'll face the
fact that with the world wide finan-
cial and political mix-up in Europe
following the world war, there is no
possible chance for using normal
quantities of cotton at profitable prices
to us if we continue to grow cotton
on the high cost tasis that we have
been doing.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time Of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
Cost OF making cotton is primarily
the cost OF food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
Plant for an abundance Of food,
grain and forage. thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries so thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost. or else quit cotton growing.
Most of US cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,

WHAT Mr.. WRIGLEY THINKS
OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

! ''It was on train carrying me
from Chicago to my home in Pasade
ma. A man who overheard my name
mentioned by others approached me, :"
says an Exchange.
"Are you Mr.. Wrigley who manu-
factures chewing gum?" he asked.
Il am the man." l answered
"Then, Mr.. Wrigley, I've some
thing to say to you," he said, GIVE
all the respect in the world for a sue
cessful business man-understand
! that--ibut you are making great
mistake ai 49,
"What is it," l asked him, for I'm
always anxious to learn my mistakes.
"How much are you spending in
advertising?'
"Ten thousand dollars day."
"Well you're losing money fast!
You shouldn't have to advertise any
more. Every one knows your gum.
advertising can't help you much
more"
"My friend" l said, "we're riding
on a train. What would happen to
this car if the locomotive was dis
connected and went ahead? Well,
that's what would happen to my bus
mess if l stopped advertising.
"And in my answer to my we'll in
tentioned friend lies great secret
of successful advertising"
81 made Wrigley's synonymous
with chewing gum by advertising.
When people saw Wrigleys they
thought of gum. When they wanted
gum they thought of Wrigley's," he
continued.
Advertising is the locomotive pull
ing your business along. Stop adver-
tising, disconnect the locomotive and
vour business slows down to a stop.
You'll lose a lot of valuable time get
ting started again.
"An advertising splurge is seldom
very effective People forget your
store, your business, as soon as you
forget them. Keep them thinking
about your store by thinking about
the people, and the only way to reach
+ban, is hv advertising.
Remember when you advertise
that YOU are advertising, not boasting.
Don't spread your advertising out
too thin!
"The newspapers are one OF the
most effective methods of advertising
for many obvious reasons. Practical
Ily every one reads a newspaper.
"Once you are in business adver-
Using is necessary investment. 1t
gets you what you always need, more
business. There's no quicker or more
reliable way to grow than to adver-
tise," said Mr. Wrigley.
'My first advertising contract was
for $500. Last year spent $780,
900 in advertising 'Wrigley's.' Now
I spend $4,000 day.
Figure out how many sticks OF
gum must be sold to meet this adver-
tising appropriation alone and see for

trenchment here will cripple the coun-
try schools in every county.
The budget under the Equalizing
law contemplates s420,000.00 for
salaries and s1O0,000.O0 for such nee
essary incidentals as insurance, fuel
and necessary upkeep. Total of $780,
10000 is the biggest item requested
for the public schools. Every coun-
ty superintendent is familiar with the
hardships resulting from the failure
of the general assembly to protect
Incidental charges during the session
1920-21.
The state board of examiners for
teachers has been submerged by ex-
animation papers. Applicants in May
numbered 1900 and in October $500.
Inspection and gradation of set of
examination papers submitted by a
single applicant requires at least one
hour. The inspection and gradatlon
of papers must be done carefully and
correctly. The results of the exami-
nation ought to be announced within
five or six weeks after it is held. Ad-
d:aional readers to facilitate inspec-
ton of this mass of manuscript must
be provided if the state board of ex-
aminers is to be retained. The stan
dardization of the teaching corps is
the greatest professional accomplish
ment of recent years. The work
ought not to be allowed to fail simply
because of the lack of a little need
ed help. Five dollars day for eight
hours work will employ competent
teacher during July. A dozen such
helpers for one month can guarantee
the prompt announcement of examl-
nation results to every applicant IN
every county. The committee en-
dorses unequivocally the work of the
state board of examiners and urges
every county superintendent to re-
quest his delegation to give this need
ed assistance.
The committee feels that the inn
portance of the county superintend-
ent's office is not over-estlmated IN
the state superintendent's recommen-
dation of s5O,OOO0O to raise the sal
aries of these officials. At the same
time, we suggest that this item be
postponed until more propltlous
times.
The oae-teacher country school is
the weakest link in our educational
chain. 1t must be improved before
these pupils can be given their just
dues and opportunities. Business
conditions compel us to ask that this
item be postponed for later considera-
ton.

tation of pesons injured in industry
or otherwise would necessitate an ap-
propriation of $15,O00.O0. This ac-
