In a new si: 10 for 10 cts ] ti I 0 C 1 NOW IS THE TIME TO DO THINGS By H. B. Ralls, Southern Represen tative, American Hampshire Swine Record Association. No greater opportunity ever pre sented itself, for the bringing into play of the nerve, sand, red blood, grit and the never quit qualities of our forefathers as they came home from the Civil War, to take up the work of reconstruction. Our troubles today are small compared to theirs and as I study the situation it seems to me a good time to build over, on a better foundation, and now is the time, of all times, to get busy doing it. There is no use sitting around wait ing for good times to return, because these good times won't come until we mako them come. We have got to dig this thing out and we had just as well get at it. No greater prophecy was ever writ ten, than that of Henry W. Grady, in 1888: "When every farmer in the South -shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and disturbed by no creditor and en slaved by no debt; shall sit among his teeming gardens and orchards and vineyards and dairies and barn yards. pitching his crop in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus and slling it in his own time and in his ci osen market and not at a master's bidding; getti-ig his pay in c-sh and not in a receipted mortgage, that dis charges his debt but does not restore Uis freedom, then shall be breaking the fullness of our dry." Tris new day is coming V pass 1nd if we measure up to our responsibilities, it will not be long. Georgia is now the sixth pork pro ducing state in the Union and other food and feed crops and fruits are be ing produced in like proportion, but we are really "just piddling along," when we compare what we are doing with wvhat we could do, if we wvould live up to our opportunities and ad vantages. is it piossible that God has blest us so wonderfully, in soils, eli mate and ia in fall and~ it is so easy ''to make enough stuff~ to do us," that we have become too well sat isfied anrd lost our ambit ion for achievement and the good things of life? I madec a trip through Southern Cali forniai in .Ja nuary, wherie I travel crd on pav ~ed hiigh:ways, t h rough beau tifully (liltivatedl fields and orchards anad gardens, miade ponssible only by an airt iflemil water' supplv ini a section that was a deser-t ten or Ii fteen years ago. S;omelbodly inulst hav(e got tenr( dis sati sfied with condlitionis as t hey were out, ther and got busy. It- seemns to me that. we should Ib' abIle, now, t o ride through this coun t ry, on paved high ways, th rough beautitul cult ivatedl fields andl or cha rds andm gardenis and see good hogs anad ca ttle anad sheep anad horses onl good pastu res on~ ('very farml.

If thbis he triue, t here is oIne of two th ingls the matter. We aren too lazy and trifling to, amount to any thmirg or we aren using the wrlong sy's. temn. I ria vel among the fa rmer s oIf the South all of the time~ and1 they are lnot lazy, so, it must be the svs temn. If this be so, don't you fthink we have given the ol system a thorough t rial ? I do. I thlink we hlave hadl e'nouigh and the time has ((lie to get. straightened out and get busy, and I think the first- t hinrg for us to do, is T Gr ie package LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE ANY smokers prefer . it.

Try them-dealers now arry both sizes: 10 for 0 cts; 20 for 20 ets. t's Toasted get a good, well developed case of dis satisfaction and I think most of us have it. We are so sore and tired and disgusted and disheartened, that we almost want to crawl off and die. But we are not going to do that, we are going to apply the remedy, WORK, and get well and we are going to mas ter this new system of Mr. Grady's and use it in developing this wonder ful country of ours into a section of beautiful homes and churches and schools and towns and cities, like it ought to be. All of the old time "squeeze 'em" bankers are going to (lie soeic of these (lays and big men, who realize their responsibility and obligations to their own section, are going to take their places. The business men of the towns and cities are going to realize that the farmers' -interests are their interests and co-operate in the de velopment of the agricultural inter ests. The banker, the business man, and the farmer of the South, are going to join hands sonic of these (lays, that we may eat bread from our own fields and meat from our own pastures and sit in independence, amid our own gar dens and orchards and vineyards and dairies and barnyards, the only way under the sun the cotton acreage will ever be reduced and a fair price ob tained for what is produced. I think it is a mighty good time to do this thing now. It would make us forget a lot of our troubles and the sooner we start, the sooner we will realize "the fullness of our (lay."
