Editor New Era: While look
ing over a volume of Georgia
laws for 1907, I found the follow
ing:
Georgia Laws 1907, page 99,
No. 171, section 1: That each
male inhabitant of said county
between the ages of 21 and 60
yoars, who is not physically or
mentally disabled, shall be sub
ject to road duties four days for
eight full hours in each day in
each year, and no more; provid
ed any such person may be ex
empt from road duty by paying
to the overseer the sutq of $8, or
such amount as the road author
ities may fix as equivalent to
four days work on said road and
said overseer shall receipt said
person for said commutation tax,
and shall apply same to t)ie use
of the road where the person was
warned to work.
If this is the law why does onr
ordinary and district ovprseers
insist on minors paying rokd tax?
1 have always advocated jlhe al
ternative road law and think the
present system |of working the
roads much better than the old,
but I think it a barbarous custom
to work sixteen-year-old children
on the public roads or make them
pay tax.
Of course I am no lawyer, bat
I think I have a fair understand
ing of the English language, and
I am aure the law says from “21
to 60 years.” This may not be
the true interpretation, but one
thing, it is “Simon” pare * 1 Eng
lish.
Again, the law plainly says
that “each person shall be sub
ject to road duty four days in
each year.” And I heard a dis
trict overseer say the other day
that all who wished to work out
their time might do so at 60 cents
per day. Wonder where lie got
his authority?
Four days or $3 for those that
are not exempt from road duty,
and that between the ages of 21
and 60 and no more, saith the
law. Radkr Colic.
Helps to Corn and Cotton Planters
[U. S. Dept, of Agriculture.]
The past winter has been so
wet that there has been less than
usual opportunity to prepare the
land for this year’s crop. The
rains have continued so late tnat
many fields are still very wet.
These'conditions make it all the
more neccessary that the soil be
well prepared before planting.
In the impatience to commence
planting the temptation to plow
before the land is dry enough is
very great.
Land plowed wet at this time
is injured for the whole season.
A thorough preparation ia more
than half the cultivation. Do
not plant either cotton or corn
before the land is worked into a
fine seed bed even if planting is
a little late.
To be good the seed must not
only be from a good variety but
must have been carefully select
ed and so cared for that they have
strong vitality. Prepare the
land thoroughly and sufficient in
advanoe of planting so that there
is a firm seed bed.
With well prepared land good
cotton seed, will germinate even
in a dry spring when covered to
no greater depth than one-fourth
inch. Many leave them in

trench with hills of loose dirt on
each side. The first good rain
washes this dirt into the trench
and buries the seed too deep.
A light roller should follow the
planting.
There are more stands lost in
planting cotton by using too
much than too little seed. When
a bushel of seed is nsed it is very
often a detriment, because the
seeds are so dose that when they
germinate they lift the soil in
the whole top of the, row. If
dry or a little cool weather fol
lows the soil immediately aronnd
the young plant dries out or is
chilled by cool nights, and the
plants die.
Perfect stands have been ob
tained with four pounds of seed.
Prepare the land thoroughly
before planting.
Use selected seed of known
parentage and good quality.
Plant shallow—not over j inch
depth on a film bed.
Follow planting with a roller
and use care that the seed drill is
not in a trench.
Be sore the seed bed is well
drained.
On good uplands ordinarily pro
ducing one-half to three-fourths
af a bale of cotton per acre, plant
iu rows four feet anart and give
not less than sixteen inches space
between plants in the row.
On rich bottom lands where
excessive stalks are produced,
plant in rows not less than fivefeet
apart and give two feet space be
tween plants in the row.
