It Pays to Prepare
Land Well for Oats.
Spring oats do well in the far
north, but not in the South.
Therefore, by all means put in
all the oats this fall instead of |
putting in half this fall and half
next spring. In order to avoid
as much danger as possible of
winter-killing it is advisable if
possible io put in with a grain
drill, as this puts the oats down
in a little furrow and protects
them more or less from cold. If
labor is not scarce would recom-:
mend that you break the land
good and deep, harrow well, i
then roll thoroughly and harrow
lightly again, and put in the oats
with the drill. Unless you have j
plenty of time and help to put i
the ground in this good shape,
would recommend that instead j
of breaking the ground that you :
just disk it two or three times
with a disk harrow and put in
the grain. The small grain crops
like a firm seed bed, and it is
doubtful if the breaking of the
land will pay unless you can
thoroughly work and pack down
after the plowing and before sow
ing the grain. If the ground is
not good and rich, it should be
fertilized at the time of planting.
If you do'not have a grain drill
and do not feel that you can buy
or rent one for the putting in of
the oats, we recommend that you
disk them in with a disk harrow.
Southern Farming.
Farm Facts.
Agriculture needs all the great
men it can get.
In union there is strength and
in co-operation there is profit.
The farmer can neither help
himself nor be helped by others
until he organizes.
'l'lie economic distribution of
farm products is today the world’s
greatest problem.
Our transportation systems are
the dray carts of agriculture and
can be made capable peddlers of
farm products.
The middleman is nothing more
than a farm hand but he is able
to fix his own wages and to col
lect them and to multiply his
transactions as he pleases.
Bumper crops without market
facilities have sent more farmers
staggering down the back alleys
of agriculture than all the pests
and droughts that ever cursed
the nation. Peter Radford.
The Editor Knows.
A good many editors are said
not to know much, says an ex
change. The trouble is, they
know a lot of stuff they dare not
tell. They know who drinks the
beer and they know the ladies
who deviate from the straight
path of rectitude, and the boys
who smoke in the alleys and dark
places, and the girls who are out
auto riding till the roosters crow
for daylight. They know the
fellows who are good pay and
they know the fellows who can’t
be trusted for a tobacco sack full
of salt. They could guess at
once why some fellows are as
they are, and they can guess
pretty closely what they do to
make them so. Even in a town
like this they know enough to
make one of the red hottest, rip
roaring, high-geared, triple-ac
tion, chain-lightning editions you
ever read. But they also know
that it is best for the community
and themselves to let the law
take care of humanity’s devil
ment and publish only such news
as will do to read in the house.
Editors generally pursue this
policy and thereby live longer
and get more enjoyment out of
life.

Wilcox County Will
Try Wheat Planting.
Abbeville, Ga., Oct. 24. —Os-
car Cannon, a wholesale mer
chant, has received a shipment
of seed w'heat to sell to farmers
of Wilcox county. This is about
the first wheat ever shipped to
Abbeville. Most of the farmers
will plant from five to twenty
acres. There is no dobut that
vviregrass Georgia will make as
good wheat as any section of
Georgia.
Supplying Europe’s Needs.
The first thought of the na
tions at war was of their food i
supply, and when their armies
took the field in Belgium and
France, Americans at once felt
the effects of higher prices for
many of the necessaries of life.
As soon as the lanes of the At
lantic were made safe for ship
ping, enormous cargoes of wheat
and flour and sugar were started
on their way to British and Con
tinental ports.
With a winter campaign and a
long war in sight, a different
class of orders from Europe is
pouring in for the relief of Amer
ican manufacturers. The British,
French and Russians want huge
quantities of blankets for men in
the trenches and the horses.
France and Great Britain are
asking for bids for shoes for
their armies. There is a sudden
demand sheepskins for overcoats.
Our mills are called on hurriedly
to supply underwear, socks and
gloves in preparation for the
cold weather. Harness, leather
and saddle-trees are needed at
once. A thousand automobile
trucks, said to be for the Rus
sians' use, must be produced
without delay. Half a million
reels of barbed wire, measuring
approximately 125,000 miles, are
to be delivered within the next
few months. The shortage of
hospital supplies can be met only
from America. Even large quan
tities of clocks are demanded.
When millions of men are en
gaged in wholesale destruction
and the industries of Europe are
paralyzed by war, it has no choice
but to turn to the one great Na
tion where peace prevails and
labor and materials are plentiful.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YE®
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—ln interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: “I was down with
stomach trouble for five i 5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that 1 thought surely 1 would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
1 got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought 1
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although 1 did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since 1 began using it.
1 ain so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.
