the Lord.

come up. He will say I don’t
know, but how long is this war
going to last.
You know the conscription
bill is to be fulfilled and its at

the Clerk will look up to see if
we are some od man that has
done past our three scores and
ten years. “Pat” believes that
if they will give him a machine
gun he can get a few of 'em.
I’ll tell you some people have
begin to take this war to be a
serious thing. They seem to
think it will be more than a
game of marbles.
They say you are exempted
from conscription if you have
any one depending on you “Hill
Billey” was trying to get every
child to follow him Sunday so
as people would say there was
to many depending on him. I’ll
tell you if he diden’t borrow
anybody’s else children and
bring down there with him I’m
willing to sign a petition to let
him stay here and serve his
country. Hill Billey and myself

would be signing this petition
in his and Uncle Sam’s behalf.
Mr. Garth Green spent Fri
day and Saturday in Fairburn

If they don’t take the cripple
to the war I’ll not have to go

some of them booms and get
killed.

Helps Farmers To
Meet Present Need
For Big Food Crop
Simple Jobson Method and Re
markable New Plow Being Used
to do Late Plowing and Prepare
Land Better for Emergency.
That the farmers of the South and
Middle West are taking full advan
tage of the hurry up call for more food
I crops is perfectly apparent to the close
observer. On ail sides we see ground be
ing broken for corn, potatoes and the
like that was not intended for cultiva
tion this year, and thousands of farmers
are planning second crops, soy beans,
turnips. late corn, etc., in answer to
the appeal of American leaders and the
undeniable evidence not only of enor
mously better prices, hut also of the
national need and necessity for every
man to do his duty.
•hate spring conditions and wet lands
have added to the difficulties, but
these are being met in many localities
; by the adoption of a newer and sim
-pler method of preparing land that fills
the demand of the hour so completely
that Us introduction at this time ap
pears almost providential. We refer
to the Jobson System of deep tillage
and the remarkable “Common Sense”
plow that turns top soil and subsoil
at one and the same time, but does
not bring the clay or under stratum
to the top to impoverish the land or
give it the usual temporary set-back in
fertility at this time when we can ill
afford to sacrifice a present bushel
even to a future cart load.
The Jobson plow is just the thing for
this late preparation of the soil, both
now and throughout the sum
mer months; for it will be a
long time before it is too late
to plant some kind of food to mature
before late fall. This plow is simple
and “Common Sense” in construction
and use and can be operated without
any previous experience. The cost is
very small, compared to the big ad
vantage, and it is undoubtedly some
thing that every farmer in the United
States ought to have right now.
'A bcol ' t. written on this subject by
Major John W. Norwood of Fulton
county, Cli!., is entitled "The Common
Sen-? of Deep Plowing and Bigger
Profits on the Farm.” This work is
being read and discussed by thousands
of farmers and agriculturists all over
the south. The editors of The South
ern Ruralist, The Southern Cultivator,
The Fancier Farmer and other leading
writers and officials have approved of
it heartily, and Hon. J. D. Price, for
mer commissioner of agriculture, said
of it: “I wish every farmer in my
state could read it.’’
This booklet is now being mailed
free. A request on a penny post card
will bring it to any reader of this pa
per. Address The Jobson Plow Cos.,
