The Georgia Yam in Iowa.
From the Nashville Herald.

According to an article that appeared in a
recent issue of the Country Gentleman thirty
carloads of Georgia sweet potatoes have been
sold in the north due directly to the fact that
an Iowa soldier boy acquired yam tooth"
while stationed at an army camp in this state
during the war
The young man never had tasted "a sweet
potato until he entered the Georgia training
camp. He soon acquired fondness for it, and
thereafter" runs the narrative, the ration list
never contained it often enough for him.
Then, when the war ended he resolved to
have all the yams he wanted, and to give his
fellow Iowans a treat. AS direct result of
his activity cars of sweet potatoes were shipp-
ed to his town last year"

Hard VS.. Graveled Roads.

The hard surfaced roads program in Geor-
gia has been dealt hard blow by the hard
times, the high taxes and the shortage OF
money 1t is apparent that the program is
not going to make great progress while pres
ent conditions exist Notwithstanding, the
need of better roads will continue The farm
ers, in their present temper and in view OF
present prices for their products, will not
vote bonds for that purpose. The graveled
and the sand-clay roads always have had their
friends and advocates in Georgia They are
cheaper to build and cheaper to maintain
Their advocates do not contend that they are
as good as the paved road, but they do de-
clare that they are sufficiently good roads,
and that they lift the farmer out of the mud
the prime reason for constructing good roads.
Like any other roads, they are good roads
when properly maintained, but when not
maintained they become like any other neg
1ected road. A paved road that is not proper
" maintained is almost as bad as mud road.
In the east and the west, where road building
has reached its highest development, proper
maintenance is recognized as the keystone of
the arch of good roads system. AS to paved
roads. with the farmer at present (and almost
every one else who pays taxes), it would
seem to be a matter OF not having money to
spend on any kind OF expensive roads. The
farmer lust now is not cordial to additional
taxes of any kind or description or for any
DurDose

1t is easy enough to tell the other fellow
what is the matter with his business; but as
far as farming is concerned we need only to
take the word of experienced farmers, sup
ported by prevailing conditions in cotton
growing sections to the effect that cotton
farming is hazardous, and that it should be
backed up by such additional agricultural pur-
suits as will shoulder the burden of expense
when the cotton market goes to the borrom,
as it has done the past two years.

THE OLD PRACTICE OF BARTERING.

From the Commerce Observer.
There must be a return to the practice OF
bartering. Let the farmer pay his doctor, me-
chanic, preacher and other professional credit
ors in corn, potatoes, syrup, chickens, eggs,
hams gatherings, sausage ETC., which things
these professional men would buy with the
cash if the farmer should pay them in cash.
But let there be no attempt at profiteering.
We have heard of man who wanted to pay
his preacher with sorghum at 81 per gallon
when the market price thereof was only fifty
cents. OF course, this man does not, expect
to go to heaven when he dies.

NEGROES STAY IN THE SOUTH.

From the Springfield (Mass) Republican
Interesting speculation as to the extent of
negro emigration to the north and west dur
ing the decade just ended, by the census re-
ports The number was 340,260 Meanwhile.
however, 1928 negroes born in the north and
west emigrated to the south. Ninety-one and
eight-tenths per cent of all the negroes in the
country were born in the south and all but
81 per cent of that number still live there
The negro question" remains primarily a
southern one

Where does the $2O000,OOO appropriated for
Russian relief come from? is an inquiry fire.
ouently made by the man on the street The
appropriation was made out of the funds of
the United States grain corporation, the fed
eral agency which handled our grain exports
during the war. In this way the profits real
lied by the corporation are being made to
serve a double purpose-they are being re-
turned to the American farmer at time when
he is in sore need of the money, and they are
being employed to relieve the distress of the
starving in another land. The appropriation
adds nothing to the tax bill of the people.
