ROW WE MADE GOOD MONEY LAST YEAR Hasting* Declares That Soytherij Farmers Can Repeat the Past lEft: Year's Prosperity, If They Will Mp- Atlanta, Ga.?(Special)?"The genm . eraiity of Southern farmers made real 2$oney out of their farming operations more profit than most of them ?rer made before, despite boll weevil, &? unfavorable seasons and labor shortV , This statement was made recently h* W /I YTaeHn era nrociHon t rtf hnfcb ?% the Southeastern Fair Association and Georgia State Chamber of Commerce, in discussing general farm -conditions in the South. - "Very naturally most of this farm 5?;- prosperity is credited to the high sf price of cotton and, of course, the high K price helped, but the real down-at-theISL? bottom reason was that most farmers wned their cotton when it was made ?? instead of 'owing' it for food and &grain bought on credit, as used to be r the case when the practice was to gro\s aQ or nearly all cotton and buy on credit all or nearly all food, grain, etc. "Present farm prosperity is due I largely to what Dr. Bradford Knapp, head of the demonstration work, has f so aptly termed 'Safe Farming,' which in nothing more or less tUian growing br on home acres every pound of food, | grain and forage needed for family I and live stock use. When this is done Sp every other available acre can wisely 2nd RRffOv hf? nnt in rnH-nn nr nthpr j cash crop. "The expense of making cotton or other cash crop is, either directly or indirectly, the coet of food for man r afed beast that works the crop. Most items of food and grain can be produced on southern farms at one-third to one-half what those same items cost from supply merchants. "We made money last year by folrV lowing the only way that insures pertmanent farm prosperity, home production of home food and grain needs. We can repeat this money making in 1920 by following the same common \ sense way that pnt us rigbt last year and will keep us right in 1920 and every* year, if we follow it up and not gamble in cotton planting, f" * "It's a great temptation to gamble in cotton in 1920?gamble in cotton in the field, which is just as bad as gambling in cotton on the New York or New Orleans exchanges. I know some folks who are planning to doable cotton acreage this year. They are headed for disaster sooner or later. The wise farmer will play safe in 1920?play sate by doing 'safe farming.'

When a druggist finds that his customers all speak well of a certain % . preparation, he forms a good opinion of it and when in need of such a medicine is almost certain to use it himself and in his family. This is why so many druggists use and recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. J. B. Jones, a well known druggist of Cubrun. Ky., says. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for the past seven years, and have found it to be the best cough medicine I have ever known."' TAX NOTICE t ??
