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. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Services for Sunday. Sunday School 10 a. m.

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.

Make your plans to attend. 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. W. T RANDOLPH. Physician and Surgeon National Bank Bldg.

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 LIFE INSURANCE FIRE Automobile Protection Our Automobile Policy covers loss from Fire.

It matters not whether it he in Eng land where the soil cultivated for centuries gives a yield of above JO bushels of wheat per acre or on rich, virgin American soils, flip greatest problem of the farmer is increased yields per acre, and in any country or section the men who secure the largest yields are almost always the most successful farmers. In view of these facts, one can not help wondering what farmers are thinking about, or whether they are actually thinking at all, when he sees corn and cotton stalks and wheatstraw, by tlie hundreds of tons, going up in order to get them out of the way of the next crops.
