DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Our Christmas time is over; we
have enjoyed ourselves fine. Santa
brought children fruit, candy, toys
and many such things' that make the
little ones feel gay and happy.
Older ones enjoyed themselves al
so. There was good' behavior through
out Salem and Omega communities.
There were good dinners prepared
by the ladies for their families and
friends. The men folks enjoyed
their hunt for quail..And now We are
ready to take our new year wftb
zest and earnest will.
I guess Omega has got in a new
supply of fruit and candy by now,
for it was carried out of .our little
town in all directions during Fri
day and Saturday. And that goes to
say we are a progressive community
when the buying holidays come On
and is not dulL .

Gathered from the Most Successful
Farmers in two States.
Preparation of the land before
planting has been one of the most
-sadly neglected operations of all the
fanning in this section, and has beer,
one of the primary causes of small
yields in everything but cotton, and
has hurt the yield of that staple to
a great extent, besides requiring an
unusual amout of cultivation to save
the crop.
One of the best farmers in West
Georgia runs his stalk cutters over
all his land twice before plowing, he
then breaks the land from eight to
ten inches deep, then runs the disc
harrow over twice, once east -jEnd
west, then north and south, theiqthe
runs the spike tooth harrow cflrer
twice in the same directions asTie
did the disc harrow, then he consid
ers his land ready to lay off and

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Parham, of
- -. | Pike county, visited Mrs. Parham’s
work to disk and tooth harrow thej parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wilder,
land so often, but he said that wap < ' ” ‘
the least expense of any operation;
a* the disk harrow cut up sixteen .
feet in every round and the tooth j
harrow twenty feet in every round/ i
so that all that extra harrowing cost 1
less than the breaking of the land 1
twenty-four inches at every round.
By working the ground so thor
oughly before planting, it cut out
half the cultivation afterwards, at
the preparation had killed many of
tho weed seeds so that they were
not to contend with in the cultiva
tion.
Tho excessive preparation leveled
the soil in good condition to plant
so that every seed went Into this
ground at the proper depth, making
a good stand, besides the thorough
mixing of the soil before planting, lmrauc 1Ilen w . WU1
brought out all of the fertilizers °*,tnusic hall to hear the
the soil leaving none to remain dor
mant as is the casc where the soil 1:
just broken and planted.’
if the farmers in Tift' county will
follow the above system of cutting
up the trash thoroughly before
breaking and then disking and har
rowing as above described, they will
increase the yield from 10 to 25 per
cent, over the old system of break
ing and planting, and without any
additional' fertilizer than what they
used before. v
