THE COUNTY FAIR OUGHT TO BE HELD. Editor Monitor: I notice BOUIO of the more wide awake, progressive citizens tire ad vocating the holding of a county fair in Montgomery county the coining fall. This is a very wise and busmess like move, and one whir It should meet with the hearty co-operation of every farmer, merchant, law yer, doctor, mill and timber men —in fact every man, woman and child in the county. Nothing could help more—considering the amount of cost —than a good fair. It is an (indisputable fact that this is the best county in this whole section of the state, and this fact could not he proven in any other way so clearly as by the many exhibits of farm products, fine stock and catt le, b <gs, poul try, dairy products, etc. And again it brings flu* people of the county together, and they come in a friendly, co-oporatiie spirit, every one doing his heat to make the fair a success, trying, of course, to make “our” fair out strip all other South Georgia ef forts, and show to the world that we are a live, wide-awake pro gressive people, and never do things by halves. Another thing to be considered is the fact that a county lair, well) advertised, brings hundreds of the better element of people from other sections, and once they art* here ami get a glimpse of our lovely country and see what can be produced and raised here, in si) probability will cause several I I good men to buy homes, and by this we could soon have several 1 hundred acres of our tine lands ! which arc now in the woods, turn oil into beautiful farms—stock, cotton and grain farms. 80 let 's get dow n to business and have no lagging, but every man in the county appoint him self a committee of one and go to talking and working to bring about a county fair. As tu time and place we uann.it say, but simply suggest as the time —one of the four weeks in next November. Would like to hear from the farmers on the subject. Fair Advoc.atb. The storm suftVrors in this and other states are receiving aid from many different sources, and peo ple everwhere sympathize with them, but in their case it takes something more than mere sym pathy, and we are glad the differ-' enl states and the Nation are pro viding for the unfort mint'* people as they are. Congress, as did the state officials, acted pmmytly,and 1 wc hope before this every victim of the cyclone has been properly cared for,, Tin* baptist- of Georgia gave i during the past fiscal year which closed April 80th, to foreign mis sions the snug sum of $0(5,769.50. • And to home missions $84,50:?.53 Making a total amount of one ; hundred and one thousand, two hundred and seventy-two dollars ami thirty-three cents. This was quite a good year’s work, and the Baptists have just cause to con gratulate thetnselvss. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THER-SLIAV, MAY 7, 1908. .NOTES BY A WORKING FARMER. Work that is done in time re-! • cptiresdouble the labor to perform , afterwards anp then the result are' never so good. The is the machine, the food is] the raw material, milk, butter I . and cheese are the manufactured: ‘ articles. The dairyman is the manufacturer. The process of grading up ’ bridges one eontinuully nearer to ' the full blnod, which is a source! ' of all satisfaction and profit in ! itoek feeding. 11 It requires a faculty of closer | applicat ion an study along a single line to make a specialty go j but when n does go it usunll pays i I lest. The man who works so steadily ; that ho never lias time to stop! and make his plans ahead does not often produce the best results If there was no other argument! in favor of keeping stock the single one of helping to market the bulky productsof the farm 1 should be considered. A sou re of income which brings in a little ready money every day or every week ; s a great be 1 tit to the farmer, as it enables him to pav as he goes. There is no luck about farming. Every success is the result of well-laid plans, and the failures, with rare exceptions, are because of the lack of them. Commercial fertilizers do not permanently benefit the land. They have their legitimate uses in helping to produce largerops, but they do not make the land any, richer. They should be used in I.' . . . connection with other manure. H.mte and Farm. There were 3,869 foreigners at tin* Geaman universities during > the winter semesteis. constituting 1 7.8 tier cent of the total attend . Slice. Immigrants arc going hack;; that is, the immigrants of lust! I year is the immigrant of this year. The labor market is over-stocked. For several year sfarmers have had much difficulty in getting help to market the crops. It will not be so tins year. City building and j ! railroad building is not absorbing! as much labor, and now the move ment back to the farm. It is an ill wind that brings good to noone. i —Home and Farm. “Plow deep while sluggards sleep,” but not too deep; just j deep enough considering the soil , and the crop. But in plowing do ! not skip; do not scratch the sur-! face for a few feet and deepen the next to make up. See that the! plowing is as uniform as possible,; and crops will he more uniform, j Home and Farm. During the two weeks of court many of the more representative! farmers and business men of the county will be 111 Ml. Vernon,and by approaching them on the suit-! ject one could easily find out the j feeling in regard to a county fair I I his fall. If all reports which are circu lated on candidates during heated) . campaigns were true it would be j a very disgraceful act tor a people! to elect either of them to offiee. | But you know politics—that is modern polities—are not exactly J what they ought to be. 1 * The Chinese board of Agriculture' is considering the advisability of establishing a deportment, for the study and encouragement of tea cultivation with branches in the| provinces where tea is now pro duced. ] Gelatine dynamites are more < difficult to explode than the ordi nary brands, and rebuire quintu ple force caps or couble-streugth fuses to develop the full force. 1 * Iboilers.
