gins between average cost and aver
age selling price of from SLAP to 1928
cents per acre.
Cost includes charges for labor of
the farmer and his family, and a
charge for the use of the land on

COTTON ESTIMATE
IL MILLION BALES
GOVERNMENT EPORTS ON
CONDITION. IMPROVEMENT
is SEEN IN GEORGIA.

A cotton crop OF 12,144,000 bales
this year is forecast by the U. S. De-
partment OF Agriculture.
The condition of the crop on June
rs was 71.2 per cent of normal, COM
pared with $50 on May rs this year;
go on June rs, last year and 74.8,
the average on June rs for the last
ten years.
The area of cotton in cultivation is
about 40,403,000 acres, an increase OF
100000 acres, or IA per cent as
compared with the revised estimate OF
acreage in cultivation year ago. The
acreage in Georgia is estimated at s.
10000.
Marked improvement of the cotton
crop is reported by the United States
Department of Agriculture on July 2
for the date of June rs, improvement
during the last week of the period be-
ing especially marked.
The outlook for the cotton crop is
more hopeful than it was at this time
last year, the report says. The season
is still late, but comparatively not ev-
erywhere as late as it was a month
ago The crop is growing well, has
good color and is we'll cultivated, ex-
cept where there has been excessive
rain.
Better Condition in Georgia.
Georgia's cotton crop is in better
condition and the prospects are
brighter for making crop than in
several years, according to the official
report by the Georgia COOPERATIVE
Reporting Service. The crop register
ed net improvement OF 7 points dur
ing the past month, placing the con-
dition on June rs at rs per cent OF
normal, and the highest on that date
since 1918. The condition on that date
last year was SO per cent OF normal;
in 1922, So per cent; 1921, "a per
cent; 1920, 63 per cent; 1919, II per
cent and 1918 80 per cent.
The major portion OF the improve
ment occurred during the period be-
tNeen June and June rs, being pre-
ceded by a period OF slight decline.
The period of improvement was mark
ed by hot, mostly dry, cotton wealth
err" Fields are in a good state OF cul-
tivation in most of the state and plants
have made good growth. Plants are
fruiting rapidly in southern Georgia,
and some squares have formed in the
northern part of the state.
Very few weevils are being found
in northern Georgia. The number in
the southern part of the state is very
much less than last year, although
they are present in sufficient numbers
to cause serious infestation and dam
age should the weather prove unta-
vorab1e during the next few weeks.
Acreage Reduced 2 Per Cent.
Compared with acreage planted and
standing June rs last year, farmers OF
Georgia have reduced their cotton
acreage 2 per cent. Generally speak
ing, the acreage is smaller in south
Georgia, and greater in north Geor-
gia, the greatest reduction being in
the counties hardest hit by the failure
OF last years crop. Several counties
in the central part OF the state, which
have grown negligible amount of
cotton for the past few years, are
coming back to some extent this year.
The condition figure OF IS indicates
Weld of about Us pounds per acre,
with total production OF about 1884,
GOO bales, provided conditions are
average from now until harvest.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
RETIRE TO?

A LARGE city bank recently cele-
4 brated its fiftieth anniversary by
placing five of its oldest employees on
the retired list" These men who had
faithfully served the bank for from
thirty to forty-seven years, were CIV
en- pensions for the rest. of their lives.
Fine. That's what honest workers
ought to have. But when the newspa-
per reporters asked these FIVE men
what they expected to do with their
new-found and unaccustOmed leisure,
only on man had any definite plans.
The paying teller, who had worked
for forty-five years. had an orange
grove in Florida which would keep
him busy. The others didn't know
just what they would do"
Strangely enough, the next column
In the newspaper announcing the re-
tirement of these five old men con-
tanned paragraph from New York,
stating that Steve, the big seventeen
hand bay horse of the Cummings Con-
struction company had been retired
on his forty-fifth birthday. No re-
porter asked Steve how he was going
to enjoy his pension. But Steve knows.
Plenty of hay and oats, the run of the
pasture and warm, dry stall are all
he needs. Eating and sleeping will fill
the rest of his life.
That's all right for animals, but the
human mind and body needs something
more. The man who has been active
all his life isn't content any longer
with mere living. When all need for
work is over he must have something
to take it's place, to give him interest
in life, and to stimulate his brain. II
he doesn't have 1t he soon gets moody
and discontinued. He thinks about
himself because he has nothing else
to think about. He develops all sorts
of imaginary complaints, besides those
of old age, and from thinking con-
stantly that he is sick he soon becomes
sick.

everyday common sense. It's what

retire" and when the chance finally
comes they have nothing to retire to.
That's the reason why cancer, kidney
and heart disease are more common
among retired farmers than among
farmers of the same age who keep on
with their active work.
Retire by all means. as soon as you
can. That's the sensible thing for
every man and woman to work for
Only be sure you have something TO

whether you retire on fifty or five

when your need of daily work is gone.

EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS
PROFIT

THAT'S pretty good profit isn't 1t.
You'd be glad to get that on all
your investments wouldn't you?
That's the profit you get when you
buy prevention of disease.
A county health officer in one of
our states tells this story.
A farmer who was resident of his
county came to see him one day, He
said he had been asked by his neigh
bors to find out what the county APP
preparation for health was doing for
them. They were practical men, 1t
was all right, he supposed, for peo-
pie who had plenty of money to spend
1t for fads but they hadn't any money
to throw away and they were opposed
to the county spending any money for
nonsense. He owned a farm worth
$4,000. He had a wife and three chill
dren. The county health officer fig
ured for few moments and then told
him that the county health department
was costing him eighty cents a year.
He then told him that the health
department would furnish him with
detailed plans for building a sanitary
privy on his farm, protecting his
well against pollution and draining his
land so as to prevent mosquitoes This
service if gotten from private ex-
pert, would cost him about $500. The
health officer also showed him how
the prevention of contagious diseases
hfc 20 fIu hn, he
ton of the school children in the
county prevented disease among his
children and would protect them from
serious trouble in after life. He
showed him how the health depart
ment could correct any defects in his
children's eyes, teeth and nutrition at
less than one-tenth what it would
cost him in any other way. how the
county nurse could help him in case
of serious Illness In his family, espe-
cially no she would assist his wife
when the baby came and advise her
how to take care of the baby.
When he got through the farmer
said: "As nearly as | can figure 1t
out, the county health department is
worth at least $500 to me in real
money every year. 1t costs me eighty
cents. That's good enough profit
for me-"
Fighting disease is no longer an in
dividual responsibility. It's com
munity duty.
Suppose each farmer had to build
the road along his own farm as they
used to do.
What's common sense in good build
ing is common sense in disease pre-
! vention.
