Farmers have hud different opinions about this "since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," and It Is not the purpose of this article to take sides with those who still plant corn during the dark nights In Feb ruary, because their daddies did, and those who wait until after the cold snap that usually comes with the full moon In March. But why, to use an old slang phrase, put nil your eggs Into one basket when It comes to planting corn? It must bo agreed by all that much depends upon the season, down hero in Southwest Georgia — and every where elBe, as for that matter — for making a corn crop, and we all know how disastrous a mid summer drouth Is on corn that hns been planted in the early spring. With an average season, corn that is planted any time between the 15th of February and the 1st of April will show up about alike In the yield, hut our seasons hare be come so variable that the farmer who plants Ids entire crop nt one timo runs a great rlslp Then why not distribute the corn planting season over a period of four months—from Februnry to .Tune, say— nnd thus have some early corn and some late corn, taking advantage of all the chances of having n favorable season for somo of it? A few years ago we know a Dough erty county farmer who planted twen ty ncros In corn during the first week In July, nnd on that twenty acres he gathered more corn than ho did from n fifty-acre field that was planted In the enrly spring. That which was planted early was caught by n pro tracted drouth just nt the time when It most noeded rain to bring it to ma turity. while that which was planted In July had n good season. Wo linvo nlso seen a good corn crop mndo on land from which a crop of ontB wns cut in the lntter part of Mny. It may not always be desirable or ad visable to follow oats with corn, thus making two g-nln crops on the same land, but when no other good land Is available that from v hlch oats hns been cut In May enn bo utilized, and It has been demonstrated time nnd again I lint the corn planting season can be extended into the month of July here In southwest Georgia.

REPORT OF THE CONDITION OP THE HLBHNY Had fire broken out in the hold of the transport Meade after she had been several days at sea, instead of as she was just on the eve of sailing, a tragedy which would hnve shocked the world might hnve resulted, as the blaze was one to master which re quired the most zealous and persistent efforts of well-equipped fire-fighters, it is something of a coincidence that the German ship Silvia struck a mine lust as she was leaving Vladivostok with home-bound Russian soldiers on Tuesday, while the Monde was put out of commission by fire just ns she was about to sail from San Francisco with American troops bound for the Phil ippines. Un in Macon the sportsmen hnve banded themselves together for the purpose of protecting their bird dogs from sneak thieves. It is stated that hundreds of valuable pointers and set ters have been stolen during the last few months, and the existence of an organized band of thieves is suspect ed. The protective association will offer a reward for every dog stolen from a member, and will diligently nrosecute the guilty parties should the identity of the latter be discovered. It is "costing some" to pull off the Greene-Gaynor trial at Savannah, as is proved by the statement of the Sa vannah News, made after careful in quiry. that the expense to the govern ment piles up at the rate of $2 a min ute during the time the court is actu ally in session. Colonel Estill has begun campaign ing "next to the ground.” He is meet ing “the boys,” shaking their hands and looking into thlir eyes through those clear spectacles he wears. And he is. if reports are to be credited, winning votes rapidly. It is reported that Admiral.Togo is to visit America. We hope the news is true. The gallant old Oriental war rior would receive a welcome in this calculated to make his head country swim. RESOURCES.
