PLANNING THE FARM WORK.
Farm work is never done. On
few farms is il possible to <lo all
Ilie work required at the best
time. It is generally a problem of
doing that whieh is thought of
Ihe most importance and allowing
many things to go undone which
can wait with less loss. Manning
and arranging the work on the
farm is, therefore, of much more
reimportance than is generally ap
preciated. judging from Ihe hap
hazard way in which the work
seems to he done oil many farms.
In too many cases the larger johs
receive first consideration, while
small johs arc neglected. It does
not always follow, however, that
the large job is more important,
today, than the small one. The
larger johs often suffer nothing
by a delay of a few hours, or even
a few days, in some cases; while
the neglect of a small job may
mean a real loss which cannot he;
repaired or recovered if neglected
until the big job is finished.
For instance, a field of corn or
cotton may produce not one
pound less by a delay of a half
day in planting, hut the neglect
to repair a fence or give needed
attention to an animal may result
in a loss which cannot lie repair
ed. Too often these small matters
are neglected because they are
small, hut if they were attended
to at the proper time they would
give larger returns for the labor
spent than is gained by the com
pletion of a large job a few hours
ea rliev.
On the other hand, not enough
attention is given to planning the
crops and the methods of cultivat
ing and harvesting, to best distri
bute the labor. In almost any kind
of framing there are periods when
there will be the largest possible
demands for all the labor avail
able and at other limes there will
not he work enough for all the
laborers which were required dur
ing the periods of largest labor
demands. For these reasons it is
necessary that much thought be
given to planning the crops ;ni<l
the work so that all things neses
sary to be done can be done when
the work is most necessary and
will yield the best returns. This is
not an easy task, and never will
the farmer he able to arrange his
work so that all the multitude of
things requiring attention will al
ways get it just when they need
it most, but this should he the aim
of the farm manager and it
slum! ! receive much more careful
thought than it generally receives.
It will often he necessary, after
the most careful planning, to do
the jobs pressing most and which
will suffer most if neglected and
to put off those jobs which will
wail without serious loss; bui the
success farmer will consider care
fully which jobs are Of most ini
portanee and which will wait a
little while without serious loss.
J*or the big job is not always the
one which it will pay best to do
today, nor is a small job always
the least important to do today
•imply because it is small. It will
very often prove most unprofitable
to put oft a small job until tumor
mow, or next day, or next week
until a larger job has been com
pleted. More thought must be gi
ven to the planning of farm work
that it can he done more easily
and more nearil at the time re
quired. Successful farming is not
jdmply doing hard work, it is al
if well done, doing hard think
ing as well a.s hard work.

Rev. John 11. Wood, President
of Southeastern Christian College I
!
and Rev. R. H. Moss, minister of
the Winder Christian Church are
attending this history-making con
vention. Thousands from all parts
of America, Australia, Europe,
Asia, and Africa will attend.
These are among the largest,
perhaps the very largest assem
blies of religious bodies in tiie
world, the largest being the Pitts
burg Convention of 19(19, when it
was estimated that over thirty
thousand were present at one
time in one place, the famous For
bes Field. Sunday afternoon, in
an open-air communion service.
It required about five hundred
deacons to wait upon the mam
moth audience and a mail bag
was necessary to hold the large'
offering of silver ami paper mon
ey. Five of Pittsburg’s largest au
ditoriums were not sufficient to
accommodate the crowds from day
to day, in the all-day divisional
meetings. Not so large a gather
is expected at Cincinnati, but a
mighty host is there, nevertheless,
to make and hear inspiring re
ports and to frame far reaching
plans for the future.

WHAT IS THE REMEDY?
Winder is not alone when you
come to consider our rough
streets. It is nearby every where
you go, the streets in towns of
Winder’s size are usually rougher
than the average country high
way. This fact is not only unfor
tunate. but unnecessary.
It may be that our force is not
sufficient to keep the streets in
order, but that is neither an ex
cuse or reason, help can be secur
ed at some price and enough
should be gotten together to keep
our main streets at leasts, iu a
passable condition.
It is hardly possible to find a
street any where in Winder where
general traffic goes that one can
ride over with any degree of plea
sure. It is either a bump to go
over or a hole to fall in most any
where you go. The town should
supply Mr. Beddingfield with
more help, even at a high cost,
and let us have some smooth
streets to pass over.

SOIL FERTILITY THE FAR
MER S GREATEST PROBLEM,
NO MATTER WHERE LOCAT
ED.
In a country where wheat will
frog 50 inches in 47 days, and
where a 75-acre field will average
4S bushels of wheat per acre, and
oats 50 to 100 bushels, it would
appear that the question of soil
fertility need receive little consi
deration. This is what always hap
pens in any new and fertile farm
ing section. The land is minde
year after year as long as it will
produce a paying crop. That is,
the average man takes as largely
as possible from the soil for Ids
present needs without much
thought for the future. In new
count ries present needs are apt to
be pressing and urgent needs,
and it is not to he expected that
the future condition of the soil
will receive more than a passing
thought. But even in such new
countries good preparation of the
land, good cultivation and stable
manure show their value by in
creased yields. In other words,
even in such new and fertile sec
tions. the different in tlie yields
secured markes the difference be
tween success and independence
on the one hand and failure or
financial bondage on the other.
Jn this same new country the i
weed problem is apparently just'
as acute as in the older farming
sections in the South. Of course,
the one-crop system of grain
framing practiced adds to the
seriousness of the weed problem,
just as it does in the South; ex
cept that our chief crops being
dean cultured or inter-tillage
crops our weed problems are more
largely centered around the
greater labor required in cultivat
ing our crops.
Wherever I have gone, in a trip
of five or six weeks, the largest
farm problems seem to be soil fer
tility, labor and weeds. Of these
the one which receives most dis
cussion is labor and the one given
least consideration is soil fertility;
but it matters not whether it be
in the Corn Belt, or the rich new
lands of the Canadian Northwest
or in the Cotton Belt, the problem
which is of greatest importance is
