Just after the close of the Civil
War the darker the color of the

aad hospitality was given to
those who went North from the

favorable. The change has de
veloped into race hatred in the

Hay Making in Ware County
More hay is being cut uud
saved in Ware this season than
ever before in the history of the
county. Many of our farmers
have in w«rs and are tutting
the small farms on shares. Not'
withsrandim; that the trass
worm made ils appearance here
some weeks since, the grass and
peavine crop is excellent.
As an example of what can be
done in the matter of bay mak
ing in this section on a small
farm, the Herald notes that on
Saints Rest farm the owner will
cut from less tnan seven acres
150 bales of fine hay, and every
foot of this land has already pro.
duced this year one or more
crops. Four acres of this land
is melon ground, upon which
was sown when the melons were
laid by, half a bushel of un-
known peas to the acre, two
acres which have already yielded
twenty-five bushels of corn to the
acre will now yield one and a
half or two tons of peavine and
grass hay to the acre. From
one-half an acre two previous
crops have a'ready bean gath.
ered, onions and beans, and now
the grass and peawine crop. The
remaining half acre was planted
in squashes m the spring and an
immense crop harvested. This
half acre was allowed to go to
grass and will now make twenty
bales of hay. We mention this
yield on Saints Rest farm to
show what can be done and is
being done in Ware county in
the matter of saving long forage.
The farmers in the near vicinity
of Waycross should supply the
city with all the forage it needs.
The clay or unknown pea should
be sown at the rate of one half
a bushel to the acre in all crops
except cotton, cane and potatoes
when they are laid by. This-
improves the land and makes
feed. It does not injure the
land to cut the peavinea from it
to any great extent, as the roots
and shattered leave* are wonder*
ful fertilizers. Hay should al-'
ways be baled as soon as possible
after it is cut, this preserves its
sweetness and its -gubstunce.
