Some Suggestions on Corn-Raising.
Corn is capital, and when rightly in
vested in food for man or beast returns
greater dividends than any other farm
crop. Practically one-third of the area
of farm crops, and one-fifth of tho im
proved farm lands of the United States,
is devoted to corn. Except in a few lo
calities in tho United States a man’s
standing in the community as a farmer
is rated hy his ability and achievements
in corn-production. It is the greatest
and surest source of food on the farm.
Increased production is easily secured
by increasing tho acreage or growing
more acre. The latter method is the
most economical, when obtained hy im
proved soil or soil conditions, good seed,
proper fertilization and cultivation.
The greatest increase in yield must be
expected from improved soil conditions.
SEl.KCTION OK TIIK I.AND.
Ideal soil for corn is well-drained,
deep, loose loam, well supplied with de
cayed organic matter to hold moisture
and possible plant food. This soil is
seldom found. Corn is being grown on
a greater variety of agricultural soils
than any other rrop. Many of these
soils are too poor to grow corn profita
bly, and should first he built up. This
building up cannot bo permanently or
profitably done by the use of commer
cial fertilizers alone; hut when rightly
combined with manure and legumes,
this insures real, legitimate profit. Af
ter the condition of the soil, water is
the determining factor in corn-produc
tion, 350 to 700 pounds being required
to make one pound of dry matter.
PLOWING.
Break corn land not less than eight
inches deep. This plowing should be
done in the fall or winter, unless a cov
er crop is grown, or the land washes,
runs together, or is thin; otherwise,
plow in the early spring, at a time
when puddling or clods will not occur.
If the land has not been broken to the
above depth nt some former plowing,
increase the depth of plowing gradual-
I
y, by flowing each time not more
than two inches deeper in the fall, and
one inch deeper in the spring. In the
spring harrow every half day's plow
ing, to prevent clods. Fall and winter
plowing can he left rough during the
winter. Sod lands, unless rolling, in
clined to pack or thin, are best plowed
in the fall or winter. Disking before
plowing conserves moisture and tends
to prevent clods.
THE SEED BED.
The amount of cultivation after
planting cannot make up for neglect in
preparing the seed bed. Disc and har
row fall plowing at least twice before
planting. Spring plowing will need the
same treatment, and often more. Mash
any clods present with a plank drag.
Harrow the land often enough before
planting to keep it soft and moist, and
destroy young weeds.
FERTILIZERS.
The kind and quantity varies with
soil characteristics and conditions. Sta
ble manure and turned-under legumes
stand first in' value, and should he the
source of nitrogen. Phosphoric acid
pays on almost all soils, and potash on
many, especially those that are light- j
colored, sandy or thin. Three hundred
pounds of lit per cent, acid phosphate
and 4') pounds muriate of potash should

give good results. If I he potash is not
needed, it should not be applied. If the
soil is deficient in nitrogen and no ma
nure or legumes are used, apply 100
pounds of nitrate of soda hroacast in
the row when the corn is 12 to 18 inches
high. If the land is fairly rich do not
apply any fertilizer in any form when
<the corn is planted, but when the corn
is about 24 inches high apply equal
amounts of acid and meal around the
corn. Just about the time the corn be
gins to hunch to tassel apply 75 to 100
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre.
SEED CORN'.
Any pure variety thut yields and ma
tures well in the locality should be
planted. Use only live, tested seed.
Nub and tip all ears before shelling,
otherwise the seed cannot be evenly
dropped by the planter. Never import
Becd corn for tho main crop. If new
seed is necessary, get it from some
neighbor that has been practicing field
selection of his seed corn. When start
ing with a new variety get only enough
for a small plot. If the variety proves
successful, seed can be selected from
the field for next year’s planting.
, TIME TO PLANT,
l’lant as soon as the ground is warm
enough for prompt germination, and
not before. Early planting generally
gives best results. Aim to finish by
May 10 on uplands. Low lands, of
course, can be planted later. Local
conditions, such as late seasons, rain
fall, cold soils, or the presence of a
cover crop, sometimes deluy the time
of planting.
METHOD OK PLANTING.
Except in wet, stiff bottoms, where
ridging or planting on the level is like
ly to prove most successful, the corn
should he planted below the level, or in
the water furrow.
RATE OK PLANTING,
Yield is closely related to the rate of
planting. If maximum results are ex
pected plant us thick as the land wil
bear. Generally thicker planting than
is customary will give greater yields.
Always plant enough corn to insure a
stand, as replanting seldom pays. The
rate of planting depends upon the fer
tility and preparation of the land. On
good soils plant in 3J to 4 foot rows
and from 12 to 14 inches apart in the
drill. On poor soils, such as should not
he planted to corn, thin rather than
heavy planting gives the best results.
For inuximum yields on highly pre
pared and fertilized soil 12,000 to 15,000
stalks per acre are necessary. Plant
only deep enough to insure moisture
for good germination. Early in the
spring, on a well-prepared seed-bed,
one inch is deep enough. Later, two
or three inches deep may be necessary.

The Largest Irrigation Project
Hirminnham News.
The formal opening of the great Ele
phant Butte dam, the largest irriga
tion project ever undertaken by the re
clamation service of the United States,
will bo celebrated next May. Practical
ly all of Now Mexico and Texas will
take part. President Wilson has
promise^ to attend if he can do so.
Popular Mechanics for January con
tains an excellent picture of this dam.
With the exception of the Nile dam at
Assuan, the most famous structure of
its kind in the world, the Elephant
Butte dam is the largest ever built.
When finished it will contain 550,000
cubic yards of solid masonry. It is
built mainly of concrete, the up and
down stream faces being cast against
forms It will be 1,200 feet long on top
at an elevation of 4,414 feet, or 200
| feet above the original surface of the
! river.
| The maximum height of the dam
from the deepest excavatioi^ to the top
of the parapet wall will be 304.5 feet.
| The maximum width at the base is 215
feet. The lake it will form in the Rio
Grande valley will be one and three-
quarters of a mile wide, 66 feet deep
and with a shore line of 200 miles. The
lake will cover 42,000 acres and will
contain 362.200,000 gallons of water.

His Word Is Good.
Jackson, Miss.—‘‘I am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me not only with a
chronic cough, hut I was run-down,
worn out and weak. I took all kinds of
cough syrups but they did me no good.
1 finally got so weak I was not able to
do a day’s work, and coughed so much 1
was alarmed about mv condition. One
evening I read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before I had taken a quarter
of a bottle 1 felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and I have gained new vim and energy. ”
—John L. Dennis, 711 Lynch Street,
Jackson, Miss.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength and vigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles of the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return
your money.
JOHN R. CATES DRUG CO., Newnan
Communicatrd.
To the Teachers of Coweta County.
Dear Fellow Teachers: I want to
tell you about the domestic science
work in White Oak High School, and
when I tell you what a help it is to the
children—how it inspires them to bet
ter work and higher living, and how <
easy it was to get started —I helieve j Told in the Following Letter
you will want to introduce this depart
ment. into your schools at once.
When I say it was easy, I realize the
fact that we have the best community
in the county, and the best people to
work with; but 1 hope you think the
same about your own community.
When you get a numher of men and
women interested, and a number of
real live boys and girls to work, it is
surprising what can be done.
The young people of our community
gave a play, and tho Mothers' Club
made and sold candy. Despite the cry
of “hard times," we made $23 from
one night’s entertainment. This paid
for our stove, individual utensils for
five groups of two each, a set of plain
dishes, and lumber for shelves and
tables, the work being contributed by
our ever ready and willing trustees.
We use the cloak-room for the kitchen,
and one for the dining-room. Corn
meal muffins were cooked at the first
lesson. We chose this because of the
high price of flour and the associated
lesson in economy.
It is our aim to teach the children
how to plan a meal, cook it, and serve
it in an attractive manner, wich an in
telligent knowledge of the food values
and a keen sense of economy. While
we were waiting for the kitchen to be
fitted up we took up with the children
a systematic study of the food ele
ments— carbohydrates, fats, proteids,
mineral salts—what each contributes to
the support of the body, and what
foods are rich in proteids, etc. With
this knowledge a child of 10 years can
intelligently plan meals that will keep
the physical machinery in good repair.
We hope to lead the children to see how
many calories of food a working or
energizing person needs and the num
ber of calories a given amount of tread
or meat or beans affords. Friday af
ternoons are given to this work. No
text book is used. The children keep
note-books and use U. S. Bulletins,
which are free for the asking. The
uniform is a white apron and white
cap, and the smiles of the children as
they don these aprons and caps and hie
away to the kitchen to loam to he com
petent future housekeepers, repays the
teacher for all extra work.
We shall be glad to have you see our
kitchen at any time, and if I can give
you a suggestion or any help whatever,
in case you take up this work, com
mand me.
I should like to tell you of our school
garden, and u dream of serving hot
lunches to the children, but my letter
is already too long. Mrs. I. O. Siler.
The man without gumption amounts
to about as much as t4ie “gh" in

never will be missed.

Sheridan’s Idea of War.
Jas. Callaway, in Macon Telegraph.
In this column was recently expressed
the thought that the war lords of Ger
many took their cue for barbarity from
Sherman and Sheridan, and their con
duct was compared to the humane
policy of Gen. Lee. Gen. Sherman’s
famous dictum that “war is hell” is
true of war conducted by Gen. Sher
man in Georgia and the Carolinas and
in Alabama. It has no application to
war as conducted by Gen. Lee.
When Gen. Sheridan visited the head
quarters of the l’russisn army before
Sedan, he told Bismarck that the cor
rect principle upon which to conduct an
invasion was to “leave the people noth
ing but eyes to weep." This was his
policy in the valley of Virginia.
In Moritz Busch's history of Bis
marck, referring to Sheridan's visit, is
the following: “Gen. Sheridan thus ex
pressed himself: ‘The proper strategy
in an invasion consists, in the first
place, in indicting as telling blows as pos
sible upon the enemy’s army, and then
in causing the inhabitants so much suf
fering that they may long for peace,
and force their government to demand
it. The people must be left nothing
but their eyes to weep with over the
war.' ”
In Sherman's ease the Confederacy
was already tumbling to its fall, and
the end so near that his conduct had
no excuse.
“Madam." said the tattered and torn
suppliant to the benevolent lady who
answered his timid rap at the door,
“have you any old clothes you can
spare for an unfortunate victim of the
European war?”
“I think I have, my poor man, but
how does this happen? You cannot
have been in the war, surely."
“No, madam.” humbly replied the
sufferer, “my wife has sent all my
clothes to the Belgians.”
A Cure for Sour Stomach.
Mrs. Wm M. Thompson, of Battle
Creek, Mich., writps: ”1 have been
troubled with indigestion, sour stomach
and bad breath. After taking two bot
tles of Chamberlain's Tablets I am
well. These tablets are splendid—none
better. For sale by all dealers.
Light From the Left Side.
The well-known fact that, when using
the eyes for any near work, the illumi
nation should come from the left side
rather than the right is often disre
garded, says the San Francisco Chroni
cle. Let any one who considers the
matter of little importance once dem
onstrate to himself the difference and
he will never forget it. Take a pencil
and paper and try to write in such a
position that the light will fall from
the right side. The Bhadow of the hand
or pencil or both is thrown on the paper
in such a way as partly to cover the
characters one is making. This neces
sitates a closer viewpoint and a con
scious strain on the eyes. Now let the
position of the writer be reversed so
that the light falls on the work from
the left side. He will notice that the
shadows fall away from the work he is
doing and leave the field unobscured.
In making the change he cannot help
but notice the feeling of ease that
immediately is experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind of near
work in which the fingers work under
the guidance of the eyes. This fact
should be remembered in planning
school-rooms, work-rooms, offices and
any place where steady, close work is
to be performed.
