Editors. Dear Sir:—E nclosed find letter which explains itself. I send it to you for publication if you see fit, think¬ ing it would be of interest and inform¬ ation to farmers in general. Yours Tiuly, M. I. Branch. Experiment, Ga., Oct. 10th, 1895. Mr. M. 1. Branch, Berzelia, Ga., Dear Sir:—Replying to your tuquirl of Stii iiuureseed io Director Redding concerning Sweet Potatoes. 1 beg to advise that I strongly urge not digging at present. If you do, you will be al¬ most certain to lose your crop or the greater part of it, and in addition if your crop in any degree resembles ours, you will get precious few pota¬ toes for your trouble. The past month’s drouth has so set hack potatoes all over the State that they have made much less growth up to this time than in a normal season. Nevertheless they have still abundant time to grow.to quite a good size with you before a killing frost comes, and a “second growth” as early as this ir much less likely to injure them than premature digging. Suppose you take up a few bushels and compare both the yield and keep¬ ing capacity with those dug a month later? we will do the same aud com¬ pare notes later on. If you are as successful a potato rai¬ ser as you are a melon grower your crop ought to be a good one. Sincerely yours, II. N. Starnes, Horticulturist.

The true woman is one that stands by the side of tnaD. The present new woman is loo niaunish. Tenderness is unknown to her. She does not love children, and does not go out to bless and help She speaks slightingly of mar¬ riage and home; she speaks slightingly of teligion, and goes forth to find a re¬ ligion of her own. “Let me be understood. I am not throwing stones at the wearers of the bloomers. This mock man is inconsis tent. She only takes a part of man’s dreg*. She should cutoff the high heels that cripple her toes.

Respectfully, Julian Richards. A country editor as a rule, is not the man to put up the baby face anti yell for sympathy, but in these piping times of peace, when not even a dog tight breaks the dull monotony of weary days and he writes industriously against space to make eight or ten columns of brevier, when there is really nothing to write aboutjjand news is scarcer than snow balls in July, he is really deserv¬ ing of pity. If the people of the town would assist him a little in the matter by furnishing him items of news, he would be able to give them a much better paper, aud his job would be e much happier oue.
