PUBLISHED EVERV THURSDAY. OFFICIAL ORGAN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, j
Entered at the Poxtoftice its Mt. Vernon. Oh. as Second-Class Mail Matter, i
H. B. POL SOM, Editor and Owner. $* a Year, In Advance.
j»*-I.«*KRI advertisement* must invariably be paid in advance, at the lejjal rate, and as the law
riiM-ct-; and must be in band not later than Wednesday morning of the first week of insertion ,
Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 17, 1913.
It is so much easier to find
fault with county officials than
to take a day off and try to help
them.
Os course Senator Bacon was
safely elected again on Tuesday,
but people will not go out and
vote at this busy season while
there is no opposition.
When paid attorneys are al
lowed to sit on legislative com
mittees and shape legislation to
suit their employers you will al
ways find the rights of the peo
ple to he a very insignificant
quantity.
Co-operation for the benefit of
the whole people is about as
much akin to the combines
hatched out in this section for
personal greed and control as an
angel is to a hyena.
“The greatest good to the
greatest number” sounds good
to us yet, notwithstanding the
fact that it creates only a slight
ripple far back on life’s tem
pestnous ocean overwhich we
are passing.
In Georgia new county wrang
les waste the greater part of
the time of the legislature. In
Florida they have common sense
enough to allow the people inter
ested to settle such matters by
their ballots.
Georgians are eternally crying
out for more laws. If there was
not another one placed upon the
Statute hooks by tin* present leg
islature, except one for the just
equalization of taxes, it would
he better for us.
A sensible man will turn around
and retrace his steps when he
finds himself on the wrong road.
A tool plunges ahead to his utter
loss and confusion. A county or
section that tries strife and con
fusion until the world is nause
ated would act sensibly to rest
awhile and consider.
With the finest section in the
world, and natural advantages
that cannot be estimate Mont
gomery county lias been the seat
of war and internal st so so long
that our reputation has become
statewide. And nobody has ever
been profited or saved an honest
dollar out of the turmoil.
The Typhoid Fly.
('leanliness is the sworn and
effectual foe of the typhoid fly.
A recent issue of Suburban Life
gives the following explicit and
easily-followed instructions for
insuring cleanliness, as they ap
ply to the elimination of the fly
with death on his feet:
Sprinkle the garbage cans with
lime or kerosene, and keep them
constantly covered.
Do not allow decayed vegetable
or other material to accumulate.
Keep your promises clean.
Be careful that all doors and
windows are screened.
Screen all food, if it is not i>os
sible to keep the flies from it any
other way.
To kill flies in the house, dis
solve 31S grains of bichromate of
potash in ten ounces of water.
It should bo sweetened with
sugar and placed in shallow dish
es throughout the house. This
material is cheap, can he pur
chased at the drug store.
Another anti-tly mixture isone
jutrt formaldehyde (formalin)
and four parts of water. If this
preparation is placed in tins or
saucepans alniut the house, it
will prove very effective, as it at
tracts the flies and kills them in
stantly.

Perry Homd Journal: —There
seems to be a wheel within a
wheel concerning some of the ap
pointments to federal offices in
Georgia. In some instances it is
a kind of “now you see it, and
now you don’t see it” proposi
tion.
G reen s boro Her aid - Jou r n al: —
Lditor Callahan, the genial edi
tor of the DeKalb New Era,
wants us to tell him how to get
some meat to go with his beans.
Bake the beans, stew ’em or par
boil ’em. The price of meat is
too high to waste on beans.
Seneca (S. C.) Farm & Fac
toryA small, rattlesnake was
killed in Farm & Factory's stock
room on west Main street recent
ly. A short time before that a
good size rattler was found in
Farm and Factory office. There
appears to be a bed of the rep
tiles on this block.
Monroe Advertiser: —The peo
ple of Georgia should rise up and
demand that all this new county
agitation be stopped: The Leg
islature can accomplish nothing
because all their time is taken up
with the new county hearings
and the new county debates.
The Legislature should “sitdown
Ion” the selfish ambition of all
these little cities, and give their
attention to paying the teachers,
to the hook question and to tax
reform.
I lawkinsville Dispatch-News:
Three seems to be no longer
doubt hut that Senator Hoke
Smith is “chief cook and bottle
washer” at the Georgia pie coun
ter in Washington. What he
says has more weight with the
administration than all the rest
of the Georgia delegation put to
gether.
Waycross Herald:—Charlie G.
Gates, son of the late John W.,
propounds this conumdrum:
“What is a million for? I spend
a million dollars a year.” All
right, (’has.; come down this way
and get into the newspaper game.
Fitzgerald*Press:—Meat is get
ting scarcer but it’s going to be
bought and its price higher, tariff
or no tariff. What then can our
farmers more wisely do than
turn to cattle in conjunction with
the raising of cotton and corn?
Not every one is equipped for
cattle raising of course, but many
are splendidly equipped.
Clinch Co. News:—Thousands
of melons are hauled through
Homerville daily by the freights,
on their way to northern mark
ets. Looks like one of them
would run into the ditch anyway.
Commerce News: Reading be
tween the lines, we infer that no
man who voted for Joe Brown
will get a job in the Atlanta post
oflice under the Democratic ad
ministration. Thus we go from
bad to “worser.”
Dublin Courier-Dispatch: The
Georgia suffragettes held their
annual convention in Atlanta
this week. That city was pretty
well loaded with trouble makers,
\\ ith the legislature and the suf
fragettes both in session at the
same time. v
Darien Gazette: It really looks
as if the Georgia legislature was
anxious to do something to bet
ter conditions. IjoC hold up their
hands in their effort to put some
needed reforms on the statute
books.

We have a few in Rome that the

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. JULY 17. 1913
GREAT IMPROTANCE
OF THE HAY CROP
Thoroguh Preparation And
Liberal Fertilizing
Are Required.
Tnis is a badly neglected crop
even when a large acreage is
growm, not one field in a hundred
making the profitable crop that
it might if proper drainage, right
soil preparation, and fertilization
were given the attention that the
importance of the crop would in
dicate should be given.
I have seen—all over the south—
men pulling up corn fodder for
feed, when they had many little
pieces of the richest sort of bot
tom land, one acre of which
would have produced three times
the hay that an acre of corn
blades will make; and the har
vesting of which could have been
done at one-fifth the cost of the
same amount of corn fodder.
Let us clean up, right now,
ten thousand of these little rich
; pieces, grub out the hushes, plow
l as thoroughly as we car harrow
until we have about ru.i d the
land. Then sow in an early raa
; turing variety of peas and soy
; beans that will mature in time to
make hav of by the middle of
j September, Then disk or coulter
I the stubble until we have ruined
: the land again, sow 500 pounds
!of burned lime or 1,000 pounds
jof finely ground lime rock per
i acre and harrow again (coulter
ling would be better, as by that
means the working of the soil
would be done to a greater depth.)
Then apply 500 pounds of 10 per
cent acid phosphate or if a car of
ground rock can he used in the
neighborhood, use 250 pounds of
the acid and 500 pounds of the
raw rock. Harrow this in
thoroughly and if located in the
clay sections, sow six pounds per
acre of herdsgrass, six pounds of
| sapling clover, and six pounds of
timothy. Harrow lightly, and if
the weather be dry, roll the land.
On sandy soils, or in the hotter
sections, I would leave out the
timothy.
Now don’t neglect the deep
w-orking of the soil; for while the
grasses are shallow-rooted plants
plants they must, in order to
make large yields, have a con
tinuous supply of moisture, and
the safest way to increase this
condition is to make a storage
reservoir for water, which means
a well drained, deeply broken,,
finely pulverized soil, well filled '■
with vegetable matter. And hay
at 1 cent to 1 1-2 cents per pound
will pay well for liberal supplies |
of mineral plant foods, especially
phoshorus.
A few of my friends who are;
tobacco growers followed my ad
vice last summer and seeded one
to three acres each of hay, using
the above methods, and they are
as proud as can be over the mag
nificent crops of hay that are
coming on toward the harvesting
time. Our Farm Life association
is making a “gum shoe” cam
paign for more big crops of hay
in Rockingham county. North
Carolina, and I give it now as my
opinion that one county will be
selling hay in large quantities be
fore you other fellows wake up
to the fact that big hay ms are
about the most profitabl crops
the hill fanners of the south can
produce.
It has been demonstrated time!
and again, for some years past,
that from three to six tons of
mixed hay per acre may be pro
duced on our warm clay and loam
soils when we give attention to
the proper preparation of the
seed bed so as to insure abun
dant supplies of moisture then
are liberal in the use of available
plant foods.
The hay crop, you should re
memder. too, is one that will re
main for several years after once
seeding; producing profitable
crops and the close-growing sod
will prevent any washing of the
soil. One mowing machine will
handle twelve three-acre crops in
neighborhood and not be work
ing a third of the time at that.
The twelve hay growers can pur
chase this machine at a cost of
$3 per man, or a dollar per acre
for the crop, and the machine
will do firstclass work for ten
years.
If the crop should average on
ly two and a half tons per acre,
it would mean a gross income for
these twelve farms of SI,BOO for
the year, and net above the cost
of fertilizers $1,056. The aver
age farmer can prepare the three
acres of land and not know at the
end of the season that he had
been doing any extra work, and
he can harvest the crop for about
what it would cost him to haul
the same amount of western hay
from the depot to his farm:—At

His Obituary.
Sam Polk was editor of the
Polktown Clarion in Tennessee.
Horatius F. Johnson, as befitted
his name, was running for pub
lic office. Sam said some things
about Horatius in his paper and
Horatius announced in the court
house square that he intended to
go down to the Clarion office and
end the earthly existence of the
mud splutter coward who wrote
it. These things were reported j
to Sam. He went down to his:
office to compose a fitting reply, ;
says the New York Evening
Post.
“That scoundrel and miscre
ant, Horatius F. Johnson,” he
wrote, “announces that he will
cease the business of degrading
public office by putting himself
|up as candidate long enough to
j come down to the Clarion office
and ram this sheet down our
j throats. He will also leave a
| wife and four children.”
