THE HEROES ARE
IN THE BURROWS.

It's a fight--a fight every
step Of the way. There's no time
for grumbling and no sympathy
for the gutter The fellow with
grit and backbone and determi-
nation is never beat until the
last man is out. Says the Allan
ia Journal:
The spirit that moved Geor-
gians forward in the Wilderness
and in the Argonne is astir in
the fields at home today. Boil
weevil, late spring, excessive
rainfall may cause some grumb-
ling but they have also produced
another reaction.
Flowing and poisoning are
the order of the day in the cot
ton fields" says the Cuthbert
Leader, down near the Florida
line, appending for the sake of
smile, the note. "To which
might be added sweating and
swearing"
This has been one time"
says Walton News in north Cen
trail Georgia, when our farm
ers in all reality have eaten no
idle bread, They have been in
the field early and late and in
consequence of their efforts the
crops are promising. We sincere
ly congratulate our farmer
friends for their most. phenomen-
al showing in crop cultivation
and have but little doubt that
they are going to reap very
gratifying harvest"
The grumbler talks in public
places. The worker is in the
field. A reading of the weekly
press indicates that in Georgia
today there are a hundred work
ers to one grumbler.
Unfavorable conditions have
stirred the fighting spirit of the
farmer. he is out to lick" Ma
lures unfriendly manifestations
and to persuade her tender mer-
cles into a bountiful harvest.
Here's to him!
No man is licked until he ac-
knowlegdes to himself that he
has taken the count" The Sum-
ter County farmer has never
been licked yet, now has he?
