THE-STRAND THEATFR PROG HAM THURSDAY and FRIDAY, June 18 & 17.—PARLOR, BEDROOM and BATH. Taken from the Stage Play. SATURDAY’, June IS. —Diamond Queen —The Whitehorsemau —Comedy. VOL. XXVIII. RAISE MORE FROM THE SAME FIELDS Present Drouth Convinc ed the Farmers the Value of Deep Plowing This long dry spell has proven to the farmers of this section the absolute Necessity of deep plowing at the right time and in the right way. Crops in deep, well prepared seed beds have not been hurt, while those in Shallow, cloddy seed beds are drying up. Our section is well blessed with good seasons, but our farm lands must be properly drained and properly plowed. Farm drainage means water control It not only means carrying the excess water off of the land but it means, also, terracing on hillsides or sloping fields to prevent soil washing and deep plow ing to conserve the moisture when needed in times of drouth. At the present time we have to work on a smaller margin of profit, and naturally we should want to take all measures possible to make ev ery acre of land produce just as much is possible for it to do. V The roots of the plants in what is called “thin soil” are confined near the suffacev Consequently they are cut off by the water line, and cannot penetrate deeply enough to receive the necessary food supply. The result is that the plant soon turns yellow, sick ens*and dies. Whereas the plant roots in well drained and deeply plowed soil run down and spread out which in sures a vigorous, healthy growth. The man who attempts-to grow a crop on undrained land or shallow plowed soil, regardless of the season, is con stantly confronted with the question, “am i”sure of a crop this year?” Whether the season be wet or dry the man whose land is properly drained is always sure of a crop, which ena bles him to mature his plans without probable failure. The tractor owner has at hand the best power in the world for doing this work looking to bigger crops. The farmers of this section are be coming deeply interested in the demon strations that have been made by the King Motor Company, of this city, show ing, what the tractor will do, and we look for bigger and more profitable crops as the result of these demonstra tions.

SUGGESTS BOLL WEEVIL MEETING Several of Our Business Men Would Have Farmers Get Together to Consider the Present Crop Conditions Several of the business men of Win der have suggested that we have a meeting of the farmers and business men of Barrow county to discuss the presence of the boll weevil in this sec tion. If this suggestion meets the ap roval of a goodly number of our eople and they will notify the Winder News a day will be set for the meeting. We can invite some exerts to be present and advise the best line of procedure. Do Not Kill the Birds Do not kill the birds. They are more useful than you can imagine. It has been estimated by men who have made a close study of bird life that the birds in Georgia destroy .'11,6811 bushels, or fifteen carloads of insects each day of the spring and summer. These in sects, if left alone by the birds, would destroy many thousands of cars of de licious fruits and vegetables. The people of our Southland are very indifferent about the protection and care of our birds. In the northern states birds are considered very valuable and in the hack yard of nearly every home there is a bathing pool for the birds, and on the trees and fences are boxes for their nests. There the laws pre venting the killing of song birds are strictly enforced, and the little boys are taught to love and protect his little feathered friends that come for several thousand miles from their winter home in South America to destroy the in sects that would deprive them of deli cious cherries, apples, peaches anil many other fruits and great quantities of vegetables. Parents of Winder, do you know that there has been a most destructive in | vasion of little birds and their nests by our boys this spring. Some of them have been seen with pockets full of eggs and many nests have been found torn to pieces. Please do not allow your hoy to do this hut teach him the importance of saving the birds and offering them ev ery inducement to step and build witli us. This spirit will make of your hoy a greater and nobler man and when lie is old lie will reflect with pride upon his boyhood days and thank you, his father anil mother, for this sweet and beautiful sentiment taught him when a boy. A BIRD LOVER. THE SEINING LAW. I wish to call the attention of the pub lic to the law on seining for fish, as I understand some parties have been seining. The law forbids seining be tween February Ist, anil July Ist. in each year, and any parties violating this law will be subject to prosecution. Better obey the law. J. W SIMS, ’ County Warden. Winder Should Have A Bargain Week During the Winder should put on a Bargain Week. We can ad vertise our town, give the surrounding section real bargains in goods, and pre pare to draw the trade of this section to this city. Trade will improve by fall and we ought to put ourselves in shape to reap the full benefit of the re vival of business. Every business house would profit by the movement. The cost would be very small, hardly felt by any one in Win der and it would mean great sums to all business enterprises during the fall months. The cities that place them selves squarely before the public dur ing the next two months are the ones that will reap the rewards. Let's have a real bargain week, something to attract the people every day in the week, and let them know that Winder is the best place in this section to buy goods. Get them turn ed towards Winder now and we will get their trade during"the fall. Concerted action among our business men will win. What say you? Mrs. Maude Bondurant, who has been on an extended trip out west re turned this week to her home in this city.
