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. m r. if in The employing printers of the Southeast are to hold a cost convention in Atlanta, April 20, 21 and 22.

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.
