FLY TIME.
Summertime is at hand. So isthe summer
fly. i .<
J We are never quite rid of the fly. Even in
the dead of winter we are sure to see a few sur
vivors of his decimated battalions sticking to
the walls and ceilings of bedroomVand kitchens,
ready to come buzzing about pur ears on every
warm winter day, or meet us in the dining room
as of vore. They are the stragglers from the
summers army—the forerunners of another
army soon to come. Come rain or sunshine,
wind or calm : , flood or drouth, the fly is never
many inches from our noses’ end, in either our
waking or sleeping moments.
The prediction has been often ' made by
scientists and conservators of public health that
in time the fly will be put down; removed from
the position of perpetual menace to the health
of civilized nations. Some progress is being
made in the battle with the fly, and there is
reason to" believe that when municipalities, great
and small,; take up the fight through boards of
health empowered to enforce necessary regula
tions, p, flyless golden age will speedily dawn.
Scientists have proved that the fly is the
greatest propagator of summer ills that human
flesh is heir to. That being true, civilized hu
mans have no excuse for not making Jit so ever
lastingly hot for the fly that his pestiferous army
will in time be annihilated.—Albany Herald.

The Progress
NEW FOR
THE FARMER
C. W. Hicks, of Sutherland, Fla.,
Will Put on Market a Turnplow
and Sub-Soller : Combined ;
A new plow is being pi abed on
the market by Hr. C. W. Hicks’, of
Sutherland-, Fla., which will prove
one oj: ,thc ,best investment^ that the;
fanner can make. The- plow- is
highly endorsed by a large number
of G^ady county farmers who have
seen it at work.
This pl<^- took the first premium
and gold medal at the Georgia State
Fair, .1910. If the farmers will pro
'$are their land with it, commenc
ing in November and on through
December, turning over their land
four to six inches, and sub-soiling
as deep as two. to three mules can
pull it, Which would be from twelve
to fifteen inches, they will increase
their crop production from one-
third to double with the same work,
and fertilizer in cul.iyatlng the crop.
It is a provable fact that the time
to make a crop is in the preparation
of the land, and in any section of
the country where tbeSanners are
farming,and using the above scien
tific principles you will find that
they haye doubled theiprjjroilnetion •
No farmer can reach th.e : available
plant .food that lies Mbis ground
without the use of a subjsoiler'. The
agricultural colleges Georgia,
Alabama and other st-ate^&nve shown
by analyzing the land that tlr&grcat-
est amjaunt of plant fobii lies from
three to twelve inchesf- : ..under the
ground. Practically al' ‘the plant
food is.'Th the first three inches of
the eaijth l%s dried out anif-cvapQ-a-
ted f>v:the sun and wind;,; It is also
a fact that land shoukl'mfti be turn
ed oyer to a great depth, say not
more than six; inches, but to get
the benefit of the plant food the
soil must be stirred and let. in the
light and air sc the plant food .will
become available- Now, if any of
the readers of The P-rociresst; doubt
the above statement let them write
to the agricultural colleges of
state of Georgia or even -t-he • secre
tary of agriculture of Washington,
D. C.
The New South turn plow and
sub-soiler, which will be on the
market next fall, will do all, that is
claimed for it at less than half the
expense of the present mode of
plo wing and sub-soiling, and there
is-no other plow now -irr existence
that wil turn Over and sub-soil the
land at the v eame application.
