COWETA FARMERS TO

NEWMAN. November 81. On
about one-half the acreage that pro
duced 2,941 bales Of cotton in

1910 bales this year, according to
Judge James E. Brown, Of Newman
who is in Atlanta this week pre-.

on business trip to his Oklahoma

The increase in the cotton which
is finding a ready and profitable

it into Coweta county farmers and
Newman business men, according to
Judge Brown. He is editor and
publisher of the Newman Herald
and through his editorial columns
he has strongly urged Coweta far

Until recently the farmers were
slow to plant peanuts" he said,
"but Newman now has a large pea
nut shelling plant and this season
the Coweta Cotton Oil company,
which operates the peanut shelter,
has paid out about $4,000 for pea
nuts.
Peanuts are bringing around
$40 per ton, or about the same as
a bale of cotton, and Coweta coun-
ty alcI1e has raised 5000 tons of
peanuts this year"

SOUND PRINCIPLES.

Senator Capper, of Kansas,
leader of the farm bloc in the
upper house of congress, in
speech just made to his home
folks, dwelt upon the increasing
prospects for adequate home
markets for American agricul-
tural products, provided these
products are properly balanced.
Among other things he said: II
can see no reason why our future
American life can not be built
with both a highly prosperous ag-
ricultural and industrial life.
Certainly that is the ideal"
These are sound views. The
hope of the adequacy of home
markets depends absolutely upon
the readjustment of commodity
production, made upon survey
fnormal home market demand.

The Real Fight

/ Trees shed their leaves in au-
tumn to adapt themselves to win
ter drought rather than to winter
cold. Trees could easily grow q
| protective covering or overcoat for
their leaves. But water freezes in
cold weather, and not enough be-
ing available for leaves, the trees
shed the leaves.
A similar shedding takes place
in tropical regions having alternate
wet and dry seasons.
Also, the scarcity and small size
of trees in the Far North are due
to moisture shortage rather than
low temperature.
These facts are from a lecture
by Prof George f. Nichols bo-
tanist at Yale.
Trees have a phenomenal ability
to adapt themselves to their en-
vironment A beech tree growing
in clearing has plenty Of light but
less water than it would have in
moist woods. So it increases its
notwithstanding roots and grows
thicker "skin" on it's leaves to de-
crease the amount Of water lost
by Transportation.
Now take a beech tree growing
in dense forest. 1t has plenty Of
water, but not enough sunlight. To
overcome this difficulty, It
stretches higher, trying to rear it.
self above the other tree-tops. Also
it makes its leaves larger, which in
creases the leaf surface exposed to
the suns light.
A million books could be written,
without any repetition, about the
ability of plant life to adapt itself
to its environment. So with man.
1t is within our power to adapt our
selves to all changing conditions
and new problems The wise are
never discouraged. Knowing a So
luton exists, they seek and usually
find it.
