The Sunday P. M. Band Concert
The band concert Sunday evening
over at the cotton mill was largely
attondod. A splendid program was ren
dered and the audience enjoyed the pro-
gram.
It is hoped nt an early date that the
people of that part of the city will have
a band stand erected for the comfort
and convenience of the band boys.
Tho citizens of the mill distritc are
showing a very commendable, wide-a
wake and progressive spirit.
The time is growing shorter each day
when Tho Free Press and merchants'
missing word contest comes to a close.
Somebody will get a caBh prize of
$25.00; and tho next somebody ^111 get
$10.p0, and the third highest somebody
will get $5.00. Then there are ten othor
prizes of ono dollar each that will go to
tho next ten highest.
Much interest has been taken in this
campaign by tlio readers of this paper.
Judging from the answers received tho
ads linvo been read over and over,
timo and again. No strings being tied
to this campaign, it is just a friondlv,
word-hunting, word-searching, word
finding contest ,in which everybody has
an equal chance.
The nds of tho merchants aro rend
and rc-read and closely studied. The
interest tnken in this campaign shows
that the readers of this paper will in
the future be closer students of ads and
nd-ronding than ever before.
Just a few more guesses and the
campaign closes.

That Both Men And Horses

Months
It is not too late to plant CORN and other feeds
and the FARMER THAT LETS 1923 get by him
without making an effort to insure all the feed he
will need for his stock and sufficient bread for him
self is NOT WISE.
You cannot make it if you' do not plant and
work it.
We would also suggest the beginning of a good

clovers. *

impressed as they stood inside the big
bam; in the center of which was a
mammoth silo, nnd viewed th > spacious
building, with its big feed troughs nnd
feed carriers, arranged in such conve
nient .manner that two men could food
a hundred lioad of cattle in thirty min
utes time; nnd thou to bo told by
Mr. Lunsford himself, that his barn and
silo were both empty anil had been the
past two years; and that the 40 head
of fat sleek Ilorofords that we saw,
some Of tho steers weighing 1600 pounds
it two years old, hn& never been inside
that big barn nnd lmd never been fed
a fedd of nnything, but lmd made their
own living both summer and winter
by grazing amid tho grasses and clo
vers, .some of which was knoe high and
more, when wo were thoro; nnd that
those,Barnc steers would soon go over
the sisales nt a dime a pound; you can
begin.to understand why the Intense in
terest on our part.
Mr. Jiunsford stated tlmt ho had just
transferred 60 head of his cattle to
anot&Or pasture for a short time, that
this one might have a chaneo to ro-seed
itself, uml give ample feed for his
herd again next winter. He has 90
acres-In this pasture which n few yonrs
ago was a poor washed, hill-side cotton
farm.*
TlUanswer to our question, Mr. Luns
ford! stated that Bermuda grnss nnd
burrAclavor growing together wns the
founpttion llor a permanent pasture in
tins Section of Georgia. Ho furthor an
swered our question by stating that ho
started with ono aero near tho barn
eight fears ago. He has liis 90 acres
sub-(lj^ivcd into four divisions, and tho
cnttle lire transferred from one to tho
other, ns it suits his purpose.
It is-not the purpose of tho writer in
this,’article to induce mou to go into tho
cattle,business on a largo scale, ns Mr.
Lunsford has done, but I thought as wo
ftfoQihnad watched those ’cattle grazing,
wtUtat would moan to Osrtoil county
ffdireadi'ofc MTHix tilWMMl* f»was» -
taw aerou were properly sot tty Bermuda
and burr clover, in such way ns to fur
nish grazing twelve months each year;
•how the feed bills might be Teduced,
and our cattle kept at a profit instead
of a loss. Then, too, hogs could bo
kept and fed in such n way ns to show
a profit whon placed on tlfiB market.
Those 6f us who saw wore convinced,
and nt no vory distant day Carroll
county will have pnsturcs second to
none.
Tho cow, hog and lien are destined to
play a very important part in our agri
cultural system from now on, and past
ures green tlio year round will insure
the success of the projoct.
See your neighbor today and secure
u few bushels of burr clover seed at
once. They are > ow ready to gather,
and should bo taken up promptly; bo-
ing careful to secure a good quantity
of inoculated soil with the Heed.
When ready to plant, the latter part
of August, or early in September, mix
1 bushel of clover seed with 3 busliols
of stable manure; run a small scooter
furrow 2 to 3 foot apart in tlio furrows
but do not cover them. This method
has given the very best results wher
ever tried. After burr clover lias once
been grown on land it re-seeds itself
from year to year, if not grazed too
closely. It will, however, require
plowing up occasionally, on a Bermuda
sod, as Bormuda and clover grow bet
ter.
Mr. Lunsford states that Bermuda is
worth four times ns much for summor
grazing, after having clover grown with
it during the winter. The nitrogen
gathered by the clover gives the Bor
muda that dark green color ns shown
by corn whore nitrate of soda lias been
appliod.
Let’s get pastures first, then tho cat
tle and lingo; otherwise the re-action
will bo against us.

Patience
Pays Well
It takes patience to save. A savings account
often seems to grow very slowly. Many get
discouraged and quit because they can save only
a small amount each week or month.
But the fellow who “gets there” is the one
who keeps everlasting at it. He knows that pa
tience and persistence will win. And they al
ways do, too!
