Premier Lloyd George, of England came here for the ceremony. DEATHS j MRS. E. C. BLACK. News has been received at her old home here of the death in Atlan ta Thursday of Mrs. Edwin Cunning ham Black. Mrs. Black is survived by her husband, of that city, and a son, Major L. D. Black, of Baltimore, one daughter, Mrs. B. C. Cothren, of North Carolina. Mrs. Black was well known here “For The Land’s Sake Use a Martin Ditcher” Your Farm Needed a Ditcher Before It Needed a Plow WHY YOU SHOULD DITCH Ditching is the surest method by which level, flat or low land is drained and it is only when such land is drained that it may be cultivated with the greatest profit. A good system of ditches takes care of the surplus water, there by preventing it from becoming soaked and sour. Proper drainage will allow the soil to retain just the right amount of moisture. Land properly drained produces greatest crops, for it is 10 to 14 degrees warmer than wet land; germination is quicker and growth is more rapid and much stronger. Good drainage results in a loose, porous soil, which is more easily cultivated and in which plant life will flourish because plant roots will grow deeper and thereby withstand drought, while at the same time they will tap new sources of plant food. Quick Germination Means Earlier Crops And Beats The Bell Weevil WHY YOU SHOULD TERRACE Terracing is to hillsides and rolling land, what ditching is to the flat, low country. It is just as necessary and for the same rea son. It is even more necessary because without these terraces hillsides will wash so that they are worthless and unfit for culti vation.
