down on the farm
By w. M. BRYAN
Nearly every farmer has been
busy. Many have sown clover and
vetch and others legume crops. Much
r ve and oats have been sown and
some wheat, but not enough grain
has been sown. Feed for stock will
be short next spring, so if you have
not sown enough sow more grain.
Did you not know many boll weevils
w ent into winter quarters this fall?
Many raised on late cotton and the
second growth of early cotton. Take
notice and look closely and if you
and any weevils in your cotton burrs
drag the foliage off; this will kill
thousands. This is one of the best
times to see after your terraces. We
see many farmers are interested in
building up their land. I see some
like their terraces to run on a level,
while many like the drain terraces.
Most farmers in this section like the
terraces with just a little drain.
We will give our plans for ter
races,that have a small drain.
A few years ago I had my terraces
on a level and I did not like too have
my terraces breaking so badly. I
aslo wanted as good crops above the
terrace as below the terrace. To
make a long story short, at the top
of my field a terrace 300 yards long
I gave it a fall of one inch in thirty
feet. I soon noticed that my crop
above the terrace was as good as be
low terrace. When water stands
above your terrace, usually from
two to three rows are drowned out
and the pores of soil are closed and
these rows want make half as much
crops as rows below terraces.
When you give your terraces
drain your crops will all be uniform. ’
I will give my plans for terracing
with drainage. I use a Bostrom Farm
Level, I begin at the top of field.
You should plan to have your ter
races drain each way. I usually make
my terraces three feet apart depend
ing on slope of land. I begin my
terraces in center of field and go to
one side of field and come back to
where I began and take the other
end of terrace. I give an inch every
thirty feet, and about one hundred
feet from the end of terrace I run
on a level as to let the water gradu
ally drain, one inch is not a heavy
drain the water gradually glides and
does not hurt the land by this pro
cess. .
You should cultivate your terraces.
Have a broad terrace and have at
least three rows on them. You will
make the best crops in the field on
your terraces instead of having one
row on a terrace have three rows on 1
them this is a better plain. 1

Now that football is over—Hart
well’s fans await with eagerness the
opening of the basketball season.
Coach Field has a job on his
hands. He has to develop his entire
squad from players who have seen
very litle service on the basketball
court.
At first Mr. Allman was opposed
to the formation of a basketball
squad because of the excessive use of
tobacco on the part of some of the
players. But—'Fesser has laid down
this proposition, “that any member
of the team cannot enter any game
if that player has used tobacco in
any form, within thirty days prior
to that game.” I ask you—isn’t that
fair enough?
We do not think that the Hartwell
team lost only one game last season
but went to the tourney at Athens
and lost out. We do not say that
over-confidence caused our down
fall but we say that maybe things
would have been different had we
lost a game or so during the season.
Os course, that's all over, but my
object in bringing up this is that,
were we to lose a few games during
the present season, our chances of
winning the Northeast Georgia
Championship at the Tournament
might be strengthened.
After all that's what counts.
There will be preaching at Liber
ty Hill Methodist church Sunday
morning at 11 o’clock by the pas
tor, Rev. J. H. Nichols.
Sunday school at 10 A. M.
We trust every member will be
present for both services, especially
to hear our new pastor, Bro. Nich
ols.
Visitors cordially welcome at all
services.
Narrow-minded men and women
talk about persons instead of things.
Explosive mines, relics of the war,
are still floating about in the Baltic
Sea and in the English Channel. A I
ship from Antwerp recently reported
a mine off the Goodwin Lightship
in the channel, and two others were
reported nearby by the captain of a
vessel sailing from Russia.
The Hartwell Sun for publication;

members of the family of the de
