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 Whenever You Need n General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as n General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

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. J. H. Blackwell, Agent. 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. by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. 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.

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. Round Trip Fares via Central of Georgia Railway.
