Is wise enough to know or. foresee the
outcome of the world wide financial
and polltioal mix-up that has followed
the world war and the inflated price,
Joy tiding spree that we have all en
gaged in," said H. G. Hastings, Pres
ident of the Georgia Association, Geor
gia's organization for state-wide de
velopment.
. "The wise farmer in the South will
forget the 30 to 40 cent cotton price
that led him to disaster in 1920 and
figure on a selling price of around
15 cents under conditions of normal
yield and acreage which we are very
liable to have in 1922. This necessi
tates reduced cost of cotton making
or else being wiped out.
"The cost of cotton or o.ther cash
crop making in the South or any
where else is largely food cost, food
for the farmer and his family, food
in the shape of grain and forage tor
his working live stock. With low prices
for cotton or other cash crop the
farmer cannot afford to pay any out
sider profit or expense on the food
he, his family and working live stock
consume. This means to quit living
oft of supply merchants' shelves and
to live off the products of home acres.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane
ous crops from which to feed them.
Last but not least, in Importance, Is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source of
food in the world.
"Most folks here In the South don't
taken the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the 'lick and a prom
ise' sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind. .
"We have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant It,, tend it and keep 'it
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
"The garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. It brings food
the quickest. It starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table cornea
out of the garden.
"If rightly tended and replanted it
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily heeds goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden Is a lite
saver, and we all need a life-saver of
this kind in 1922."

FORMULA FOR MAKING
WHITEWASH THAT WILL
NOT RUB OFF
The following is the best known
formula for making whitewash that
adheres strongly to wood, brick, stone
or concrete and does not rub off on
clothes.
2 pecks of unpacked lime
1 gallon of salt.
Slack the lime with boiling water
added slowly and stirring constantly
until a thin paste results. Add the
salt and sttr thoroughly till dissolved
Add enough more water to make the
proper consistency of whitewash.
To each pailful of whitewash add
one handful of Portland cement and
one teaspoonful of ultramarine blue,
just before using. The cement makes
it adhere strongly and the bluing coun.
teructs the grey of the cement.
CO-OPERATIVE PURCHASING
NETS BIG SAVING
Hamilton County farmers were very
successful last year in co-operative
purchasing. They bought fertilizers,
seeds of all kinds, and feeds for both
dairymen and beef cattle feeders. A
total of $23,000 worth of fertilizer,
seeds and feeds was purchased at
saving of about ?6,500 for the farmers.
Since money was unusually scarce this
particular work was grejjtly apprecia
ted by the farmers. More people got
Interested in the work of County
Agent D. T. Hardin through this ser
vice than anything else that has ever
been attempted. The saving to the
farmer was, not all that it amounted
to from a demonstration standpoint,
When a farmer would come in to
place orders or talk ubout purchasing
he would generally ask for advice re
garding preparation, methods of seed
ing, etc., says Agent Hardin.
CLUB BOY CONVERTS FATHER
Charles Maritn Is the son of a tenaut
farmer. In 1020 he got into the corn
club and made a yield of 91.S bushels
which was the record for the county.
All the time his father said he did not
wan hJm to "fool with it." In spite
of ttiA r.fiHKttlon the boy planted an
acre, using Neals Paymaster. He was
so successful that his father and
brother grow it altogether iow and
practice field selection, says County
agent, H. A. Powers, Henders- n county.
