Th ? success of the tank lies in the,
fact that it lays its own track, so to

made of flat links of steel. This belt
. fits over large wheels at either end nf
the tank, much as the chalti is

?re fixed a series of broad links called
track plates, which take a linn griw

rollers which in turn rest on the in
side of the belt. It Is equipped with
two belts on eitner side of the car.

foundry itself is old and by no means

been actually trebled. Every 1,000 feet

I He hadn't seen it for some time, as
j the fairy queen hadn't used it lately,
j But she had been thinking of so many

"Well, well, well," said the fairy'
queen. "You will have to explain
that speech. How can you keep young
having so many birthdays? Each birth
day makes you older, isn't that so?"
'TI! tell you. Fairy Queen, and lit!lo

when it comes to the earth peopli -
boys and girls and grown-ups but not
when it comes to the birthdays of the |

"You see I am so very, very, very

Al! the fairies laughed when they]
heard old Mr. Sun suggesting creamed

"You see," he said, as he saw thai
they were laughing nt that idea of his.
"I know they sometimes have creamed

"The earth people always speak ot

"Yes, and I don't mind if you tell

Humphrey Davy.
.a.- -(Special.)-That there
is ii large element of danger for
Southern farm prosperity in the pres
ent situation, is the finn belief of H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber of Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Associa
tion.
Mr. Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of a year ago when he
said: "Unthinking people are apt to
attribute the present measure of farm
prosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to its real
cause.
"Just as soon as peace began to ap
pear probable last fall, there was a
distinct let-up in the planting of wheat,
oats and otiier small grains. One
Georgia cotton farmer said to me, 'If
we are going to have peace, we are
not going to plant any wheat in my
neighborhood.'
"Of course the high price of cot
ton has helped, but if it. had not been
for the increased supply of bread,
meat, vegetables, grain and forage
made on the farms, there .would have
been little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton was and
is relatively lower in price than food
stuffs, and will continue to rr for
years to come.
"An extra two or three million
bales In the 1910 cotton crop will
smash present attractive prices, while
the world-wide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization of frod
production in Europe incident to ti. \
war, means high food prices every
r "n -re for years to come.
"High food prices are a certainty
and low cottrn prices are an equal
certainty if the food and grain acres
of 1916. 1917 and 1918 are thrown back
into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the
danger to our present farm prosper
ity. If we go back to our old before
the-war system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we will
get another jolt like 1914 with rea
sonable certainty.
"Present Southern farm prosperity
can be maintained in one way only.
Produce on home acres, so far as pos- j
sible, every pound of fond, vegetables, |
grain, hay and forage needed by fam
ily and livestock, then put every other
available acre in cotton or other cash
crop. This method means cash crops
made with little or no debt-the crop
owned by the producer at the end of
the season instead of 'owed' to the
supply merchant.
"Food and grain production suffi
cient for home needs, insures contin
ued farm prosper!ty. Dropping back
to the old way means debt like a mill-' I
stone around the farmer's n?~\?
