PAST THE HALF MILLION
MARX


The money paid out in cash
to the farmers of this section
by the Blackshear tobacco mar
kets has now passed the half
million mark. The farmers. of
this section have received with
in the last few days over $780,
600 in cash for their tobacco.
The prospects are excellent that
more than a million dollars will
be paid to the farmers before
the markets close.
Not alone Blackshear and
Pierce county will feel the eff
fects of this but Waycross and
Ware county will also profit

COLUMBUS PROGRESS UNDER
GOMMISSaON FORM


Columbus Is still moving for
ward under commission govern
ment. This Is made PLAN by
1lgures contained IN the semi
annual audlt, as submitted to the
city commission late Wednesday.
Despite the tact that permanent
paving projects go on, and other
needed improvements are being
made from time to time, it is de-
clared that the city will be able
to complete the present year
within Its budget. And while ex-
pected-this being in keeping
with commission government
ideals-the news will be crafty
ing to the taxpayers
Unlike Muscogee county, the
city Is not borrowing money. The
audit report, which shows bal
ance of over $4,000 on hand, is
published in part in today's Ledg-
er, the main points being set
forth in detail. 1t ought to be
read by every citizen. The shoN-
ing made in view of the perman-
ent Improvement brought about,
IS most creditable and the city
manager and members of the
commission are to be heartily
congratulated .-Columbus Ledger,

THE DAY OF SMALL.
THINGS HAS COME.

There is little doubt but that
the day of small things has
struck for South Georgia farm
ers The man that spends all of
his time, money and energy on
one crop is proving how foolish
when he takes such a great
chance with such an unlimited OPP
portunity to diversity.
The dairy project is about to be
consumated. There will be some
over enthusiastic folks, who will
go into it too heavy and expect
too much from it. They will be
disappointed. There will be 9TH
ers, who are going at it moder-
ately and in good sober, earnest
and they will be beneficiaries.
They needn't expect to get
rich in a year on dairying. That
isn't what it is projected for or
what it is expected to do. Dairy
ing is the first step in a diversifi-
cation system that is proving eff
ficacious and productive of great
good.
1t means cream first and then
by products. which can be sue
cessfully realized. 1t would pay
the farmer to follow the whole
system to the end even if he had
failed to sell a single pint Of
cream. because he would have his
hogs, his chickens, his truck and
his improved land to show for his
work.
But the dairy proposition Of
fers to the small farmer the cas-
lest and most profitable system It
means hard work but it brings
good results. Money from the
cream will care for the COW. The
milk will raise the hogs and
chickens and with cooperative
sales he can prepare to get casa
money every month not only for
his creanr but from the other
crops.-Thomasville Enterprise.

TOBACCO AS
A MONEY CROP.

A number of forward-looking
men of Sumter county are interest
ing themselves in the possibilities
of tobacco as a practical money
crop for the county.
Other counties in the state are
making a financial success Of their
tobacco growing. Under the cap
ton of plan With Caution" the
Atlanta Constitution says editorial
ly:
Heavy tobacco sales at salts
factory prices continue, day by
day, in the breaks at Blackshear,
Hazlchurst, Triton, Nashville,
hahira,, Douglas, Vidalia and
other South Georgia markets.
The state department of agTi-
culture states that approximate
ly 100000 pounds of leaf
: were sold in South Georgia last
week, averaging around Is cents
a pound.
This is approximately $40O,-
600 in cash having been dlstrlb-
uted in one week to the growers
of a score of counties. The sales
have been heavy since the open
ing of the season and will be for
three or four weeks yet.
Just how much money will In
the total flow into the tobacco
growing counties of South Geor-
gia this year, from a new indus
try that has hardly heretofore
been considered seriously as an
agricultural feature can not be
correctly estimated at this time,
but certainly sufficient to very
materially change the economic
condition of affairs in those fav-
ored sections.
Georgia will this year almost
without its own knowledge, jump
to fourth place in tobacco pro-
duction among the tobacco grow
ing states of the union. What
. it may do in another year or two
is problematical, but acreage is
certain to increase very largely
: next year That is promises one
of the surest and safest avenues
. Of escape from the boil weevil
depression is obvious provided
the farmers in the tobacco belt
will keep cool, move with de-
liberation and not try to stamp
EIDE into something new without
first learning we'll their bearings.
Farmers must play safe in this
just as all successful farmers play
safe, as far as practicable, in
their operations. Tobacco grow
. ing successfully is perhps more
of science than that of any crop
known to the South, for it not
; only involves the regular high
class, industrious, intelligent
farming that the real business
farmers employ, but also the
curing" of the leaf after the
production. That is the largest
and most important part of the
operation. For every 5-acre tract
devoted to tobacco there must be
a curing barn, and this must DO
built right. The Georgia college
of agriculture can be most help
full in this matter.
AS we have said a number OF
times recently, Sumter county
should be planning for the future
: To jump hurriedly into any crop
without first knowing all there is tC
: know about that crop, will certain.
! ly not tend toward ultimate sue
cess.
( Tobacco looks good. 1t may be q
splendid crop for some of our farm
. ers to plant, but we must "plar
with caution"

Three=Color Seeing.

IN a discussion before the Royal So
ciety in London OF the phenomena
OF "trichromic vision" reference was
made to the case of a man famous for
HIS researches in electrical science,
When looking at the bright spectrum
of sunlight. this gentleman sees only
three colors-Ped, green and violet.
For him there is no definite color in
that part of the spectrum which ap-
pears to persons with normal vision
pure blue. HI can distinguish moth.
ing of the nature of pure yellow in
the spectrum. Reddish green would
describe the orange and yellow parts
and greenish violet the blue parts as
he sees them. In testing with colored
yarns two wobls changed color to him
when contra sted. although a normal
sighted PERSON saw no difference
These facts show how different our
favorite colors may possibly appear
to some of our friends.
