There was'preaching here Sunday

The election at this place Saturday
passed off quietly. T, E. Brock was
elected Justice of the lVaee, the vote
being 40 to 80. Messrs. Leonard Parris
and Paul Faires were elected Consta
bles. There were four candidates in
the field, the other two being William 4,
Marian and M. A. Ilaney. The man
agers were Esq. W. J. Brown, J. H.
Jordan and S. R. Ilogg. We had a

together. Tills will greatly increase the
pasturage and grain. Another plnn,
which will work jnally well, is, after
sowing the' bnrley to put on a top dress-
ing of barnyard manure or cottonseed
meal and ’harrow it iu. Barley needs
rich lnud, and yet it will pay well even
on rather poor laud. It is better, prob
ably, than anything else for winter pas
turage. After it has been grazed upon
and mowed, it renews its growth rapidly.
OATS.
Every practical farmer knows that ons
of the most useful crops is ctyts. At
little expense they aid greatly iu making
the farm self sustaining. Not only nro
they one of the best forage crops, but
like all the other small grains, whenever
cultivated, they add materially to tbs
fertility of the soil, glviug to it a good

Mr. Bridges’ Methods of Cultivation
Produce Good Results—Mr. Cox’s
Experiments Also Successful*
Xov. 15, 1000.
, Last year the farmers of Georgia put
more laud in wheat than ever before
and were rewarded with a rich harvest
of golden grain. We again urge a still
larger acreage of wheat and other grains.
The raising of all the homo supplies U
the road to independence. With every
thing iu the way of necessary food raised
at homo, the farmer need not feel sc
uneasy about the price of cotton. If it
is high, his profits are good; if low, he is
not burdeuod with debt. It will soon be
too late to plant wheat. Whatever is to
bo dono on that line nmst bo done at
once Mr. W. J. Bridges of Spalding
county, who on 4 acres last spring made
nn average of 05 bushels of wheat to the
acre, says that “wheat should never be
sown until after the first big frost in
November, for then it \yill staud more
successfully the ravages of the fly ot
small grub that begins at the root aud
saps tho vigor from the youug shoots.’-
As Mr. Bridges has made such a suc
cess of wheat growing, we give his
method iu his owu words:
“As to the lnud that I planted iu
wheat this year, I gave it a heavy coat
ing ot manure in the spring and theu
planted it iu cotton. After I had gath
ered tho crop, I ripped out the stalks
and then turned tho land over with a
two-horso plow, following that with o
cut away harrow* then rolling it with a
heavy roller. My wheat was theu pul
in with a drill, using about 400 pound*
of a special high grade potash fertilizei
at tho same time. Iu planting tho
wheat I put iu 105 pounds, or 1 bushel
and 8 pecks to the acre.”
Ho. used tho blue stem variety oi
wheat, aud before planting soaked it iu
bluestono, putting a pound of it into
enough water to wet tho wheat thor
oughly. It takes about a gallon of wa
ter to every two bushels of wheat. Jhe
bluestono should bo dissolved in boiling
water. Tho land on which ho made
this largo yield is a gray, loamy top soil
with an undersoil of stiff red clay. On
10 acres which had been planted iu
wheat for fchroo consecutive years Mr.
Bridges mado an average of about 44

Barley is generally sown about the

soil, not too wot, is suitable for barley.
On this kind of soil it should be plowed
