TOPICS OF THE FARM
A Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County


The entire fence manufacturing in
dustry, the distributors and the con-
sumers will be circularized in the hear
future by the Department of Com
merce and If a certain percentage fav-
or the action Of the meeting the styles
and packages approved by this confer
ence will be adopted by the Depart
ment of Commerce, Division of Simpli-
fed Practice, in charge of William A.
Durgin.
Despite the elimination of so many
styles and sizes of packages it only
means a reduction Of 6.3 per cent of
the total amount of fence made. The
styles thrown out were those which
had been created to meet specialized
demand or styles created because an
individual thought they would sell
well. The manufacture Of so many
different styles greatly increases the
cost OF all. The simplified program,
if it operates according to the sug-
gested program by Secretary Hoover,
will result in an actual increase in
demand and production.

RATE {

Huron, August S.-The interstate
Commerce Commission has ruled that
beginning October 1S, the prescribed
minimum for loadinghogs shall be &c.
500 pounds, instead of $4,000 pounds

CLOCK GAVE DEATH WARNING
Peculiar Circumstance Reported From
New York. and Another From
Liverpool, England.

The family clock seems TO become
such an intimate part Of the house
hold that superstiious stories regard
ing its movements-especdally In times
Of death or peril to the owner, find
ready credence. Among the strange
tales Ii one Of a clock that gave warn
Ing Of the death Of its owner. In a
certain merchants house In New York
there stood q clock that had been go
ing steadily for many years. One day
It stopped at twelve o'clock. At
twelve O'Clock precisely the merchant
died in the hospital and at the same
moment his mother also died OF grief.
There was apparently nothing wrong
with the clock and nc reason for Its
stopping. Another somewhat similar
case occurred In Liverpool A mar
who was Z builder by trade, kept a
mall clock on his mantelplece At q
quarter past eleven n morning the
clock suddenly fell to the floor. When
picked up 1t was still going and had
apparently received no injury. When

he told his family that at a quarter
past eleven that morning he had fallen
from the top Of q building, but had

Repentance and Forgiveness.

Editor Dawson News: Give us this day
our daily bread" "If We forgive not your
brother his trespass against you neither will
God forgive you your trespass against Him.
And one said Lord, how oft shall Tor
give; till seven tmes?" And the Lord SAID
"As oft as he tre6passes and turns again and
saws forgive New Testament. He shall set
Judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait
for His law" Isaiah, prophecy of the mission
of the Christ.
Under every time there has seemed to be
a reversion Less than three days after the
multitude said "Hosanna to the Son OF Da-
yid. Hosanna in the Highest" the same null
ttude said: Cruelty Him." Yet the Lords
prayer is a promise that every day the world
and its inhabitants grow better, for God
and Christ is God-would not have SAID
PRAY thy Kingdom come" unless the prayer
was to be answered. Forgiveness follows re-
pentance just as day follows night. 10 for
give an unrepentant neighbor for his tres
pass until he seeks forgiveness is to provoke
continued arrogance on his part. God would
have us of His mind, not to seek vengeance
that belongs to Him-but to hold ourselt IN
readiness to do good even to those who have
injured us. Thus, a man deliberately Injuries
one and is suddenly overtaken with dlsas-
ter; it is our duty to sucCor him. Take as an
illustration an actual Occurrences: Some years
since the late John Moreland, OF Terrell
county, who had prayer at every house he
visited, was employed by man. Dick-no
matter as to his surname-aS an Overseer. 1t
had been Dicks custom to get a man to
make his crop, quarrel with him and turn
him off without pay The crop was laid by
Dick got drunk and proceeded to curse things
blue He had his gun in his hand and fol-
lowed NJ. around, and tried to enter Ms
room. When he did M. jerked his gun from
his hand, knocked him down-breaking the
stock off-and Dick in falling kicked off his
own wooden leg. NJ, thoroughly mad,
grabbed the leg and beat the owner until he
cried enough When he let him up he put
him on his ued, carrying him in his arms
and dressed his wounds and proceeded to
nurse him back to health Dick acknowledged
his fault and kept NJ and paid him not only
his salary but fee for nursing him Now
This is the kind the state should practice
This is setting Judgment in the earth More
land was doing Gods service just as much
when he was giving this aggressOr a needed
thrashing as he ever did when praying for
the conversion OF a sinner who had repented
And the state when inficting punishment on
transgressor of the law, is in line with God
and the signers of petitions for executive
clemency before repentance is had by the
offender through serving his sentence is in
line with the devil who would overthrow
Gods law by setting aside Gods law as adj

The TAXPAYERS Burden.

There are now 100000 public servants %
upon the the national state, county and mu-
nicipal payrolls of the country, according to
the latest estimate The salary bill for this
army totals SIS ,500O0O00O a year In addition
to this host OF officials our various subdi-
visions of government support an additional
100000 men and women, pensioners or other
inactive benehciaries who draw S5ZOOOO,0OO
more each year from public treasures. Thus
we have a grand total Of 100000 persons
taking nearly S4000,OOO000 a year from the
pockets of the taxpayers OF the nation, an
average cost of $34 a year for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
Furthermore this number of office hold
ers is constantly growing The army is be-
ing continually augmented by politicians,
whose constant effort is to make two JOBS
grow where one grew before. situation
such as this has developed as the result OF
but one thing-the lack of close interest and
attention on the part of the people IN their
government. The taxpayers, the backbone
of this vicious system, have virtually sur
rounded their government to the politicians,
great and small The result cannot help but
be an ever increasing number OF political
plums.
The taxpayers foot the bill, something
more than $3.50 year for every family in
the United States But why shouldn't they?
If they don't take interest enough in their
own government national and local, to de-
mand service rather than politics it is fitting
that they should pay The overburdened
taxpayer needs no sympathy; he needs a
swift kick between his hip pockets.

Fifty Chickens Per Acre.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

So many a time and oft has the hard
working American hen been celebrated in
song and story that it scarce seemed possible
to add new word or sound new note of
praise That feat, nevertheless, is accom-
plished in the following recital, borrowed
from the Florida Times-Union;
The Farm and Live Stock Record for Oc-
tober tells of an Alabama farmer who by
observation and thought evolved way to
save part Of his cotton crop this year and
made a double profit therefrom. In a four
teen-acre field of cotton this farmer housed
500 chickens on eleven acres leaving three
acres for a check The eleven acres produced
nearly bale to the acre, the other three pro-
duced somewhat less than third of bale
each, and hardly bale will be picked from
ali eight-acre field on which no chickens
ranged. More than a bale to the acre was
gathered from a hve-acre tract adjoining the
farm house which was heavily fortified and
On which a large number of chickens were
put. And this in spite Of a season the most
unfavorable possible for cotton culture. This
farmer recommends fifty chickens to the
acre"
We reproduce this interesting chronicle
for whatever it may be worth, but expressly
disclaim any purpose to recommend the hen
as "sure-fre" cure for the boil weevil The
Times Union points out that there aren't
enough chickens III the country to police our
cotton acreage at the prescribed ratio of fifty
to the acre, but suggests that the Alabama
device may be worth trying III a limited
way" by farmers who have "the chickens and
the cotton both" Our own suggestion would
be that every farmer in the cotton belt should
have them both For, whether he is minded
to try the Alabama experiment or not every
farmer will find the American hen very
present and dependable help alike in good
times and in times of agricultural stress and
strain.

Sunday Crossing Tragedies.

Nine persons, whose ages ranged from I
to 80, were killed at railroad crossing at
Falkland Ind This is just another tragedy
added to the already long list that grows
longer every day The public is becoming &C
customed to such news reports Readers OF
daily newspapers now expect to see such
tragedies chronicled. Most OF the stories OF
this kind are published in the Monday news
papers This is because motorists on the
highways are thickest on Sundays The Sun
day grade crossing toll only differs from
week to week in the number killed and the
places where the grim reaper strikes.
1t is plain enough in most cases that the
fault lies with the drivers OF the cars. With
few exceptions every grade crossing is mark
ed by warning signs on either side OF the
highway approaches. The "Stop, Look, LIS
ten" cross arm is everywhere familiar. 1t is
not possible to stop trains at every crossing
in order to let motorists pass on the high
ways Transportation demands will not allow
that 1t also is impossible to get the motor
ing public to stop, look and listen before
proceeding Consequently, there will be hun
dreds. thousands of persons killed at grade
crossings year after year
Even if most crossing deaths are due to
negligence on the part of the drivers OF mo-
tor cars even if they cannot be forced to
proceed cautiously and carefully, the fact that
the grade crossing continues to take its toll
of human life is the thing to consider II 1t
is impossible to halt the trains or the mo-
florists at the grade crossings it then appears
that the only way to stop the tragedies is
to eliminate the danger itself by removing
it An objection to the elimination of grade
crossings is the expense that would be nee
essary. The people themselves are to set
tic the question of whether it is better to
avoid the expense and have the tragedies or
to pay the cost and stop the loss in human
life

One of Autumn's lows.

have begun to grind sugar cane young folks

dren and bicycles and other modes OF travel
are making daily visits to quaff the nectar
found only at these places. Some OF the boys
Journey on foot to the scenes OF enjoyment.
Who is there among the grown-ups who
would erase from their memory the pleasures
we once knew at old-fashioned cane grind
ings? The old grey mule sturdily plodding
round and round in beaten path; the sweet
aroma of boiling syrup; the huge hogshead
with the crokus sack covering that acts as
a strainer for the juice as it trickles from the
rail-; the huge piles of sugar cane brought
from the fields and offering a choice OF
wide selection; the CHEEKY furnace fire, be-
fore which one sits on fat lghtwood knots
and chews cane; the droning and hummng
O yellow-jackets attracted by natural love OF
sweetness and intent upon their own bust
ness; the cries of happy children, as they
tumble about in ecstacy of delight on noun
tsins of pumice-all these make US want to
live again the glorious days of childhood and
enjoy the jolly cane grindings just as the
children of today enjoy them.

AT 1t Again.
From the Griffin News and Sun


News dispatches recently carried the in
formation that officials of the American Bank
ers Association had agreed to start a cam
paign in this country in favor Of cance1ng
wholly or in parr the debts the allies owe us.
Having failed in every other such under
taking the advocates of debt cancellation
new seek to influence the general public
through the medium of the banks of the
United States.
Have you ever heard of banker, or of
any other business man, deliberately can
ceiling a just debt an individual owed him?
Necessary extension of credit, perhaps But
cancellation, never.
OF course. the eleven billions of allied
debts the officials of the American Bankers
Association would have us cancel did not
come from the private fortunes of the said
officials, 1t came from the pockets of the
people, the peonle who pay taxes and many
an American bought government bonds "un-
til it hurt" in order that the eleven billions
might be loaned to the allied governments.
1t makes a difference who pays the freight
The great majority of American bankers
are generously supplied with brains. The in
terests of the people of the United States
are of more vital concern to them than are
the desires Of certain foreign governments
who are crazy to slide out of paying Just
debts

Planning for Next Year.
Eror, +he Sandersville Progress.

The Dawson News reports an enthusiastic
mass meeting of the people OF Terrell county
for tbe purpose of planning next years farm
ing operations, which was held at Dawson a
few DAVIS ago This was attended by large
number Of the progressive farmers ana Dusl-
ness men of that county, and they agreed 10
adopt program. for one-horse farm as
follows:
Cotton maximum -----.---.----.------lo acres
Corn and velvet beans, peas or
runner peanuts ----.-----.-..- I'LL acres
Oats, followed by peavine hay acres
Spanish peanuts -------..------------- D acres
Sweet potatoes, sugar cane
and sorghum ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS acre
Truck ...-.. .......-..---.-. acre
One mich COW, one brood sow and TWEEN
ty-fve hens.
A program such as this should be adopted
nv the people of every county in Georgia, as
+ is the only way to succeed at farming
since the boil weevil has become such a
menace to the cotton crop. The main idea IS
TO reduce the cotton acreage to minimum
and insure an abundance OF 1000 ana reg
crops in the event the cotton. crop should
not be profitable. Wherever it IS practicable
truck crops that can be readily sold at a
profit could be substituted for any OF the
above. but as many of the farms IN the state
are remote from markets the acreage rec
commended for each crop should be adopted
by them.
A few of the farmers of the state have
decided to try the experiment OF raising
chickens in their cotton fields and VIII Dulid
houses for them in the center OF each ten
acres. where they will be fed and watered
daily. Those who tried it this year state that
the chickens kept the boil weevils down to a
minimum and good yields of cotton were
made

PRAYERS.

| like to think that every night lot OF

little Bill and pudgy Claude, with Mabel,
Mariory and Maude, are talking friendly-l1ke

it seems a sad mistake to keep reminding

wake. Before they drop to sleep, by Jlngs,
they ought to think of pleasant things. For
not little child can die without some angel
watching by each little maid or little man
to comfort them as mothers can. 1t one
should die before he wake most gentle hands
his soul will take most wise and tender
friends will keep and only we on earth shall

This is the prayer his rhyming dad has
written for one little lad:
Now | lay me down to sleep

Kind watch beside me all the night
