Record Hay Grip. 0 Wliut with moving nrmiea and supplies for armies, it is highly probabli that the railroads of country this fall and winter wili not have eitheir the time or the facilities for hauling Northern and Western hay to Southern farmers In other words, hay will probabh be high priced and hard to get at any price—so hard to in iact, that the Southern farmer who does not raise it will in all likeli* hood have to do without it. Still another reason for raising •a big crop of hay lies in the fact that grain is extraordinarily high priced and should, in so far as practicable, be supplanted by cheaper rough feeds, thus releas ing the grain for use as hu man food. The farmer who next winter has large stores of good hay may sell off some of th£ high priced corn. The stubble lands especially should be put to work making a hay crop as soon as the smali grain is off.. As we have o ten pointed out, the man who is con tent with an oat crop and a weed crop is only getting only about half the return his land should be giving him. Likewise, let us util ize to the fullest the wet spots that are found on most farms by putting them to work growing hay. For a hay crop after oats or wheat, our first choice would be a legume, preferably cow peas or soy beans. These, when cut at the right stage, furnish a hay that will very htgely take place of the high priced grain feeds, partial iarly for animals not deing heavy work. While seed a~e high priced, it will unquestionably be good business policy to buy them if they are needed. Economy in seeding makes it necessary to plant in drills and cultivate, rather than pi nit bra ideas!. Every f .rmer in the South, we repeat, must this year provide foi a big supply of home raised rough age or else go without it. 'Flint we may he fully supplied, with ;■ surplus for our to.vns and cities, let every man ol m iffnv for tin biggest possible hay crop.—Pro gressive F.oaTier. war Planes Soon to be Flying: Over Georgia. Atlanta, July 12.—War planes may soon be seen in the air abpve the red old hills of Georgia, driv en through the clouds bv instruc tors training aviation students Within a few days the fifty stu dents of a local school, drawn from the men of the officers’ train ing camps at Fort McPherson and Fort Ogiethoroe, expect to be sup plied with aeroplances for practice flights, and they will give the peo an exhibition of what it looks like to the French farmers living near the battle lines on the western front, where air machines are con stantly fighting and scouting in the blue empeyrian. It is the plan of the government to train most of the aviators, as well is most 01 the recruits of the draft army, it the south, where the mild winter climate will permit than to stay on the job without stopping in cold weather. Senator Hardwick having de dared in his Columbus speed that “I am for my county, right or wrong,” The Atlanta Constitutioi promptly sprung the suggiustio that some one of influence shouh inform the senator that the coun try is right. But the trouble witi Senator Hardwick seems to b that he doesn’t want to receive in formation; he wants to give it.— Albany Herald. The savage only is pronounced exempt from taxation. Don t Think of Taking Calomel / Lemolac Has Proven a Sci entific Substitute. For many*years it has ben the one thought that when the system needed to b'* rejuvenated, when the liver failed to perform it func tions, calomel would be the only effective remedy. But today throgh wonderfully scientific re scearch, Le«iolac has been found to accomplish the identical results as calomel, without the sickening and unpleasant features Lemolac is a purely vegetable purgative, is mild in its action and easy to take. It is the one reme dy of its kind that does not gripe nor salivate. Your can give it with safety to the smallest child. When the liver seems “lazy,” when you feei all out of sorts and particularly when constipation is annoying you, try Lemolac and you’ll be more than pieastd for doing so. Lemolac is sold by The McDoti ough Drug Co., who will gladly refund your money should it fail to accomplish everything claimed for it. P. S. —If you forget the name spell Lemolac backward.
