A ROAD SONG The road of dreams is bright and gray With summer sun and shine .And vistas far in Arcady The distant hills enshrine; But ah, my love, and oh my love, The road of dreams goes down To darkest valleys of the earth, Where starless shadows frown. S Yet we will take the road of dreams And walk it every mile, Though it shall dip to valleys dark Where sunsets never smile; But ah, my love, and oh my love, As darkest vales are there, £!o does it climb the brightest h:lls That hearts of earth may share! I > —Arthur Wallace Roach in Good Housekeeping. To those who are tired and weary with flie cares of work and worry, when things have all gone wrong, we suggest a little spot of ground, where you may love and tend a small garden 5f your own. The miraculous earth ready for the seed, the tiny plants and the sun jshine, dews and rains, gifts from a bove, all coming in due time to make our gardens thrive; the wonderful things that, under adverse conditions, that just grow ami develop as you love them day by day. 1 really be lieve plants grow best for those who love them. “The master’s foot is the best manure” is an old saying but absolutely true, for crops thrive best when one is often upon his land. 8o to those who have missed the joy of watching things grow, and loving them into development. I would sug gest a fall garden, both vegetables and flowers, and not planted for someone else to work. This you must do yourself if you gain the full joy from the venture. “The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of a bird fo mirth, One is nearer God’s heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.” Be Strong! We ant' not here to play, to dream, to drift, we have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the strug gle; face it. ’Tis God’s gift. Be Strong! Say not the days are evil—who’s to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce— O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely in God’s name. Be Strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong. How hard the battle goes, the day, how long; Paint not, tight on! Tomorrow comes the song. —Selected. Habit is a cable; wo weave a thread of it every day and at last we cannot break it. - Horace Mann. Reputation is what oven and wo men think o; us; character is what Clod ami the angels know of us. *—Thomas Paine. The test of an enjoyment is the remembrance wV'ch it leaves behind. -- —dean Paul. CURRENT TOPICS ON AGRICULTURE THE PEED SITUATION ■While this has been a year when a combination of seasonable conditions favored the production of an unusual cotton crop, it has at the same time been a year that in many communi iii has been unfavorable for the production of an ample supply of jood and feed. Asa consequence, there will he a distressing shortage of grain and hay and other food and feed products in some sections. This situation emphasizes the necessity not only for a better balanced plan of faming here in the South, but also emphasizes the extreme need of more' organic matter in the soil. Corn on land that is full of organic matter has not suffered so greatly on ac count of the long drawn-out dry spell, for land of that type holds the rains if the earlier months of the year in the soil for the use of plants when the dry spells come. Then an other thing: many of our farmers in their anxiety to make a cotton crop let everything else go. On a farm managed like this the inevita ble result is cotton at the sacrifice of a living. Looking towards correcting some of t?ie existing handicaps, we would state again that this should be a fall of heavy seeding of small grain and legumes. Vetch and rye are the small grain and legume “goat crops” of the South. They will stand condi tions that no other combination of crops will undergo with anything like equal success. It seems hardly worth while to tell this old, old story again, and yet it is the sorb of gospel that promises the salvation of South ern agriculture. Would that every body in the South felt as keenly on that point as we do, and that each mdividual farmer would give these crops a definite place in his plan of work. Then we would not have to worry so much about the future and whether or not we are going to have uniformly good crops and uniformly good crops and uniformly good times. They would come as a natural result. We do not mean to say that the far mer will ever be able to absolutely control all conditions. That is quite beyopd him. He had nothing to do with the past hard wintter, nor has he had anything to do with the dry summer season, yet he can put him self in position where a hard winter will do him relatively little damage and where a dry summer will not reek havoc as it does in so many cases now. In other words, fall crops, oats, rye vetch and clover, we are discussing, are insurance policies a gainst the evil day. —Southern Ruralist. SMALL GRAINS SHOULD BE TREATED FOR SMUT The following method of treating small grains to kill smut spores is recommended: MJ| Make up o solution of one pint of liquid formaldehyde and forty gal lons of water, or if a smaller quan tity is desired, one liquid ounce of formaldehyde and two and one-half gallons of water. The formaldehyde may bo purchased at almost any drugs store. Spread the grain on the floor and sprinkle with the above solution. After it is thoroughly moistened, take into piles and cover with bags or canvas. Allow the grain to re main in covered piles six or eight hours. Spread out to dry and sow when convenient.

The increase from early seedings of Appier oats was - 271.8 bushels per acre, and Fulghum 27.4 bushels per acre. For the same period the yield of Georgia Red wheat from October 15th was 31.5 bushels per acre, and from November 15th, 17.2 bushels per acre. The October 15th seedings of Fulcaster gave a yield of 30.5 bushels per acre, while that sown on November 15th yielded 14. 8 bushels per acre. The increase from the ear ly seeding of Georgia Red was 14.3 bushels per acre, while that from Fulcaster was 15.7 busheis per acre. Fulghum oats sown at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton have given a yield of 29 bushels per acre when sown on November Ist. October 15th seeding yielded 18 bushels per acre, and November 15th 24.6 bushels per acre. Appier oats sown on November Ist yielded 35 bushels per acre. October 15th, 28 bushels per acre, and November 15th 27-9 bushels per acre. —Ga. Farm News Service SELECT SEED CORN FOR NEXT SEASON NOW Farmers throughout the corn belt are more concerned now than in many years over the prospects of seed corn for next season’s planting. Cn account of the late sprig, and a cool wet summer, the crop is not maturing-, and unless the frost holds off much longer than usual there is going to be a shortage of sound corn. A distress call has been issued by the extension service of the College of Agriculture of the University oi Illi nois which says "Unless freezing weather holds off until the first of November, good seed corn will be harder to find in Illinois than in ma ny years, and farmers whose corn will mature are urged to gather a surplus of seed as it will be salable next spring.” This situation is said to obtain throughout the corn belt, and the greater part of the corn will not be past the silage stage by the date of the killing frost. While tl :e Georgia corn crop has been seriously injured by the dry weather, it is probably better from the standpoint of seed than many cf the corn belt states. An extensive bulletin of the Geor gia State College of Agriculture gives the following suggestions on selecting seed corn in the field. “Seed ears should be taker from stalks of vigor ous and stocky growth and at least of medium height. No selections should be made from stalks that pro duce less than two ears, which should be about the middle or slightly above the middle of the stalk. All stalks that grew rank, perhaps as a result of increased food or moisture, of skips or a poor stand of surrounding plants should be rejected regardless of the excellent qualities they may appear to have. “Harvesting seed ears is frequent ly done by passing through the field with a bag into which the selected ears are placed. This is usually done before the general harvesting of the crop, however, both the general crop and the ears from the selected plants may be harvested at one time. All of the ears selected should be attached to the stalk by a shank four or five inches long and rather small. Tho tips of the ears should be well covered with shuck, since this cov i’ ng j g a great protection from in *'cc-s especially the corn weevil. ' A my are inclined to select the ears, but the largest yields !■- ..do art* no* obtained from this M e of ear. hence it is better to se -ot P om a stalk with two six ounce ’ rom. one with one ten ounce ear. The ears of corn that are likely ei\c hi st results are those whose h".t d.ametrrs are carried well to ward the tip. In other words, the ear should he the ,snme sir? for a con siderable portion of the length. Gu. harm News Service. This Week By Arthur Brisbane FLEW INTO HISTORY. PITY A SAD “ARISTOCRAT.” THE DAY’S BEST NEWS.’ PERSHING AND GRATITUDE. The flight around the world is over, and six young Americans will live in history when everybody con nected with this Presidential cam paign is completely forgotten. History will forever record, if only in two lines, the dates and names connected with the first hu man flight around the world. Birds did it long ago, but they are only birds. That the nation which invented the flying machine should be the first nation to send a flying ma chine around the world seems ap propriate. More appropriate would be adequate flying machine defense for this country. Mr. Grenville L. Winthrop, pleas antly described by the social re porter as a “wealthy, retired banker, philanthropist and ARIS TOCRAT,” is under the care of two doctors. His two daughters eloped, one with a chauffeur, the other with a young electrician. For a “retired aristocrat” to re ceive such a blow is painful, but in his sorrow there is warning and comfort for other wealthy, retired American aristocrats.-* One of the daughters was thirty one years of age; she and her sister, twenty-four, had been kept se cluded. Beware how you keep daughters too secluded, especially after thirty, and MORE especially if they are rich in their own right, as are these two young women! That’s the warning. The comfort is this: The Win thron family, to which the “re tired art itself Improved, it* encrgfrs increased and its life on earth prolonged by the addition oi & chauffeur and an electrician to the family lineage. c Lieutenant Moffett flew 183 miles from Eoston to New York in. fifty eight minutes, attended to his busi ness, and finished the round trip in two hours and twelve minutes. We have tho world’s ablest fliers, tens of thousands of them not de veloped. But we haven’t the fly ing machines. We TALK prepa ration better than we provide it. The day’s most important news for the future ages i3 this. Dr. Daly, senior professor of chemistry in the University of Liverpool, says he can manufacture sugar out of plain water and carbon dioxide. That’s how nature manufactures it in plants, through the green leaves. It is a deep process, first making formaldehyde of the carbon diox ide and water, then applying ultra violet light—a color invisible to our eyes—to make the sugar. If science can imitate plants on a big scale, manufacturing sugar and protein from carbon dioxide in the air, and the water in the ground, one food problem will be solved. However, don’t be in a hurry to sell your Cuban sugar plantation. It will make you rich for many a day. Distinguished gentlemen gave a dinner to General Pershing in New York. It waj a nice dinner. Gen eral Pershing’s share must have cost sixty cents in the market and nine dollars delivered on the table. Asa dinner, k was a success. But as a reward for a general that com>ianded three million American soldiers in the big war, after serv ing faithfully for many years be fore that, it was not much. General Pershing is now retired on a salary big enough to get him a small fiat in a cheap quarter. The English tlo it differently. Their Imperial Government male their General Hague an Earl, and gave him a million dollars. Of course, this country isn’t rich enough to afford anything like THAT, but it might do SOME THING. There is nothing the matter with this country except timid imagina tion. What have we? Gold, morn than half the world’s supply; peace, that will last if we keep out of European nonsense; Presidential candidates, not one of whom would do any harm if elected; good crops, good prices for crops; an annual income of more than ihot and million dollars a v • h the rent weclth not even 1 Must Bernard Grant, nineteen a Phi cage boy without money has & Se w-xu*u J to - hang for a murder to Which he denies all guilt.
