TWENTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY.
(From the Times-Recorder. May
81. l903.)

Mr.. N. A. Ray one of Sum
ter's prosperous planters favored
the Times-Recorder Saturday with
a basket of finest peaches seen this
year They were of the Alexander
variety very large, lucious making
a speciality of fruit culture and
will add largely to his orchard in
terest the coming fall.
An early June wedding which
will be of interest to many in
Americas and throughout the
county is that Miss Stella Webb
and Mr.. Joe Poole, which will be
solemnized at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W.
A. Webb, on Saturday afteoon,
June 21st.

Here is Henry Ford's plan for
conserving the timber lands he
owns: I'VE cut down trees that
are twelve inches and over. We
clean out the underbrush and
waste, the fallen limbs, old logs,
debris, cart it to our chemical
plant and utilize the waste. At
the same time this makes the
forests clear so that wasteful
fires are impossible. We will
cut the forest every fifty years"
This shows that Ford is able to
think clearly in other lines of
business as well as in the manu-
facture of automobiles.

Some times we wonder what
is the use in spending our money
on farm schools anyway, especial
ly when we read in the newspa-
pers that over in our sister state,
Alabama, according to the Gads-
den Journal, that of all the stud
ents attending agricultural
schools in that state not one ex-
poets to follow farming as a vo-
cation, all of which goes to show
that somebody has been saying
something about farm schools
that is entirely misleading or the
faculty needs to be changed. We
have mighty good farm school
right here in Americas, conduct
ed on business principles and I'M
der the supervision of a real
farmer who sees a vision, ana we
venture Ihe assertion that the
recent gradutes of that institu-
ton viii find their way back to
the farm in some form of farm
ing pursuits, for they have been
thorc lghly drilled on the bust
ness side Of farming, which is
lacking in most of our farm
schools; and as we have pointed
out before, spells the success or
failure Of the average farmer.
But added to that, a system of
marketing must be maintained
for all farm products.

Here is a practial suggestion
from that always observing news
paper, the Savannah Morning
News, showing wherein the
southeast is rapidly coming into

"Since poultry raising for
commercial purposes has taken
definite form in Souht Georgia,
the folks have forgotten about
the old fashioned ''goosei that
laid the golden egg There are
more practical, material figures
nearer at hand"

DAILY POEM
By BERToN BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
From Washington to Harding,
Our presidents have sworn,
II long to be discarding
The office robes I've worn;
The thing on which | dote is
To live like common men,"
But none the less you'll notice
They always run again!
W.
'The cares Of state are heavy"
Our presidents complain,
"a tribute harsh they levy
Upon the nerves and brain.
We're always in subsection
To strains beyond our KEN" -
But at the next election
They always run again.
They say they hate the clamor
With which each days athrob,
They loathe the pomp and glamor-
That's bunk; they like the job!
The height which they've assembled
They all enjoy, and when
Their four-year term is ended,
They always run again.

years so many disasters have befallen
the cotton that the farmers realize
they can not depend on cotton alone.
They are beginning to diversity the
crops. They are planting a plenty of
foodstuff for man and beast. Some
have had peanuts, for which they re-
ceived good price, others have had
surplus of velvet beans, and these
have brought a good price. also. Not
only did the velvet beans bring the
farmers ready cash but the vines are
very beneficial to the land, as they
have noticed crops after corn with
velvet beans are better than those
where they did not have beans. Sew
eral have poultry as side line. Two
have established good creamery bus
mess and their success has been such
that we hear of others who will fall
in line soon. After all it seems that
the boil weevi1 has been blessing in
disguise. First, because the shortage
in the production of cotton causes cot
ton to bring good price; second, it
has gotten the farmer out of the old
rut, caused him to think and made a
business man out of him-a live wire.
The man who succeeds today must
be live and wide awake business
man. That is what the world needs
today, and it is you, Mr.. Farmer, for
you are the backbone of the country
and upon you rests its success and
prosperity.

SOLONS TAKE UP THE
INCOME TAX MEASURE
GOVERNOR HOPES LEGISLA-
TON WILL BE PASSED AND
SESSION ENDED THIS WEEK.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The Georgia gen.
eral assembly reassembled Monday
with an opportunity to complete the
program outlined in both the extra
session calls issued by Governor
Walker and adjourn finally by the
end of the week, in the opinion of the
more optimistic members.
The encouraging tone OF legislators
who expressed themselves resulted
from the passage in the house of the
general tax act and the bill to repeal
the tax equalization law during the
past week, and the success of the Pace
auditing bill and Landlord income tax
measure in the senate. These four
measures will take care of five of the
big issues before the legislature, If
finally adopted since the Landlord
bill also includes a provision for 4
reduction of the ad valorem tax rate,
Extra Session Cost Heavy.
Based on last summers estimate
that it costs the state $500 for each
day that the general assembly is in
session the present extra session al
ready has cost the state $4,000. The
senate has been i'll session but six
of the ten days since the official open
ing on November 9TH, but the men,
bers are paid the regular per diem
no matter whether they are at their
desks in the capitol unless a dies
non" is declared.
Each legislator is allowed ten cents
mile for the distance traversed to
and from his home in attending ses-
sions of the general assembly, and
several solons thought they had
stumbled across ,Mindfall when Gov
ernor Walker proclaimed a second ex-
| ira session.
No Extra Money.
They raced down to the treasurer's
office to collect mileage for the sec
ond session, but were turned away
pending an opinion from the attorney
general.
Such an item would cut big fig
ure, but it was believed today that
this group was speaking more in jest
! than in seriousness when they de-
manded the mileage for the second
session, and the attorney general has
ruled unofficially that the two sessions
constitute one continuous unit and
| lntIS Will NC DO SAlld pm iiOiANy
| for the solons.
Several wagS i'll the assembly, how
ever, contend that as the two extra
sessions are running concurrently they
are doing double work and entitled to
double pay, per diem and per night
en-" They say this contention is
plausible because the house remained
in session until 7 o'clock Thursday
night
Ali Strengthened Out.
Both houses took steps Friday be-
fore adjournment for the weekend to
clarity their journals and make all
legislation regular and constitutional.
The senate first acted upon concur
rent resolution, which, in effect, merg-
ed the two extra sessions into single
session, and make germane for con-
sideration all subject matters men
toned in either or both Of the gov
ernor's calls.
The measures relating to budget
system and to the creation of bu-
reau of audit were re-introduced by
their authors and must again be pass
ed by the senate, as they were not in
cluded in the call for the first session.
