THE COTTON ACREAGE—
Prom the bust information available
it appears thill tile reduction in cotton
nerengo will bo much loss tlinn wok hoped
for, and much Ices tlinn the situation re
quires. As a large part of tills acreage
is planted, it is probnlily too Into to say
anything about itj but even yet It is
not too Into ht. least for the individual
fanner to save himself, Even if your
seed nro already in the ground, It, Is
not too Into to change your cropping
plnn if you are convinced it Is wrong.
And there are certain conditions under
■which it would coMninly be wiso for you
to plow up part of your cotton and plant
something elso. Such conditions are—
Where a former lias more cotton plant
ed than lie can probably bnndlo success
fully under boll weevil infestation, it
will pay him to plow some of it up, The
best information at hand points to 5
to 7 notes per plow as n Inrge enough
acreage, with boll weevils.
Where nay farmer hns not. amply pro
vided all tlio food and feed crops nee-
fissar.V for his farm, oton in ease of ad
verse seasons and a short, 'crop. This
acreage of food and feed crops should
include feed for nil the hogs that can be
used on the farm at tlm very least.
If the Indicated reductions nre made
in these cases, it will moan an apprecia
ble reduction in our cotton acreage, and
it will mean surety of profit for tlm in-
I dividual fnriner who makes the reduc
tion; for the chances nre tliat there will
1)0 very little profit lo cotton this year,
nt. the beat. But if wo make the re
duction, bow slmll we use tho laud thus
released f Of course, In tho second case,
where we have provided Insufficiently
for food anil feed crops, obviously tho
thing to do Is to plant those crops in
place of cotton. Where these have al
ready been sufficiently provided for, it
seems to mo that there nro two direc
tions to which we may Hiifely divert our
surplus acreage. Gao of t.hcso Is the
sweet potato crop
out diminishing tho corn crop’ With
Sudan grnss you can make largo yields
of Imy, even in a dry summer, securing
two or three cuttings of high-class hay.
Sudan grnss seed nro cheap this year,
and. it will pay you to try it. If you do
not know where you can get it, or do
not know what you ought to pay for it,
sen your county agent about it.
On good land soy beans make a good
hay crop, If yon have-not tried them,
get some and try a few anyway.
Of course, the old stand-bys, sorghum
and pens, are always in order, and you
know wlml you can depend on. .lust im
agine how good it will make you feel
to have your barn loft full of sor
ghum and pea liay next winter, and your
fields dotted with stneks of tho Bnmc,
Velvet beans and sorghum or velvet
beans and corn will maim n good hay
crop, and it will not cost you much for
send. Try sonin of these nt any rntc,,
and be sure your stock have plenty of
home-raised hay next winter.

HOG SALE—
Wo expect to hold a hog sale early in
May. The date will be set in a few days
—as soon as wo can make u date with
the grader of the Extension Service. If
you have, any good hogs for sale wo
will bo glad to handle them for you.
Hogs ought to bo in good condition and
weigh not less than 135 pounds on foot.
This will be n good chance to sell any
Inrge hogs you cafrlod over this winter.
Whore u hog weighs 175 pounds or more
it will not pay you, to carry him ovpr.
You can make your next year’s meat
cheaper out of a younger hog.
Please notify tho county agent or
Mr. I,. W. Keith if you have any hogs
for. this sale. B. M. Drake,
County Agent.
o—
RATIONS FOR LAYING HENS—
for proper storage of your potatoes,
cither in somebody elso's house, in one
co-operatively built la your neighbor
hood, or in a private house on your own
farm, 1 believe the sweet, potato crop
promises In lie more profitable Ilian the
cotton crop.
The other direction for diverting ait-
ton acreage is in crops designed for
feeding hogs for market, Pigs for feed
ing can be gotten at very reasonable
prices, nail the iiidientinns are Unit hog
prices will improve. I believe that ovuy
farm should provide at leant one sow
per plow, and devote sufficient acreage
to the provision for food for her and her
offspring. There is no question about
tin* market for these pigs when they
reach 105 to 200 pounds, as they should
do in six or seven'months,-nml we should
soon have ii regular iiiemae from IIhh
source. I lielleve the hog can lie a inert-
gage-lifter for the Southern farmer, as
ho has for the Western fnnnor. Of
course, tvhi'ii we get. into the hog, bus!-
ness on a large scale we nro going t.o
have to make hoiiio investment in fences
ami other equipment: •>»'. to begin with,
to take care of the one sow per plow
very little equipment would be necessary,
ami the additional work would be better
paid for than if put on the cotton crop.
H. M. Drake, County Agent.
THE HOG CROP-
ll' you do not know wlmt to do with
seme of the laud that would have boon
PUt in cotton, why not try n hog crop.’
Fodder is an expensive roughage. In
addition to the labor cost, it.is the ftpln-
ion of itmny of the best fnfmera ns well
its of tho experiment stations that it
decreases the weight of the corn enough
to pay for tho fodder. Why not. put
in some of the good liny crops that, eaa
bo harvested with less htbor, ami with-
Scratch Feed.—Corn, 50 lbs. j onts, *50
If von can nrrnngo n, s .. wheat, 25 lbs.
Mash Feed.—Corn meal, 10 11>h. ; wheat
shorts, 10 lbs.; wheat bran, 5 lbs.; cot
ton seed meal, 3 lbs.; meat scraps, 8
lbs.
Hera tell feed should bo fed every day
la tho litter—sparo la tho morning and
heavy at. night. Mash should bo kept in
the hoppers before the birds at all times,
and they should lie made to cut as much
as they are given scratch food. A flock of
100 liens should use approximately 8 lbs.
uni'll day. These rations should lie slip-
ploipchtud with oyster shell, green feed,
nail, where possible, soar milk should lie
fed to birds of all ages.
Baby chicks should not bn fed until
they are three days ohf. The first, feed
should consist of rolled oats, commercial
scratch feed or bread crumbs. Same
should lie feil sparingly, but, enough.
Oyster shell and grain, of fresh quality
should be fed the chicks from .the start.
1 Monty of good fresh water, or possi
bly sour milk, hIiouIiI bo supplied.
For live or six dnys feed the follow
ing ground fend iu tho trough: Wheat
bran, 3 lbs.; corn meal, 1 lb; wheat
shorts, I lb,; rollod oats, V4 lb.
In the above ration work in grad
ually cracked corn or kaffir corn, etc.
A good homc-umdo or mixod grain ration,
to be fed the first oight weeks, may be
composed as follows: Oraekod corn, 3
11)9.; ground wheat, 1 lb.; patmoal, 1 lb.
After oight weeks feed oonmoly ground
corn, 1 lb.; wheat, 1 lb. | oats, 1 lb.
FATTENING RATION—
Corn meal, 50 lbs.; wheat middlings,
30 lbs; gvoinul ontB, 10 lbs. Mix with
suur skimmed HWeot milk or sour butter

When on his way to evening service
the now minister of the village met a
rising youfig businoA man of the place
whom lie was anxious to interest in the
church.
•■‘Good evening, my young friend,” he
said solemnly. “Do yoo over attend n
. place of worship?”
“Yes, indeed, sir; every Sunday
uigkt, ” replied the young fellow with n
Hut all over the lam] we see heavy
freight trains go up and down tho tracks
with the cars londod to their capacity,
hauling freight, for somebody, and the
railroads nro going to collect freight
charges from somebody for every car
they haul.
Did you ever stop to think what is in
those ears, find just why they nre mov
ing night and day, in evory direction?
Did you ever stop to think out of whose
l'urse tlie money must come to pay those
freight charges?
Let’s take a single item mid consider
it for a moment. Nearly everybody who
has been near n freight station in this
section will admit that liny is one of
these items. Many big truck loads were
hauled through tho streets of Marietta
Inst week; and it was Western hay, too,
coining from Nebraska perhaps. The
freight on a single ear is more than a
hundred dollars, and the brokers mul
middlemen must have gotten another
hundred out of the car. Add to this the
price the Nebraska farmer got for the
hay in his own market, and you have
tint price some Oobb comity folks are
now paying for hoy.
Now, Imy is just grass, and it grows
in Oobb county without the least Inter
ference from the boll weevil.
The .lomiral does not propose to an
swer its own question, if the answer is
not seen in the above reflections. This
much is clear howler:
The Nebraska farmer gets pay for the
hay, the middleman gets his hundred dol
lars commission, the railroad gets its
hundred dollars freight, and the Geor
gia farmer gets in debt.

“Aro men censing to bo polite?”
This question, says the Montgomery
Times; is very often asked now, as it
is obsorveil that, men in street cars nnd
other public places do not give their
seats to Indies as formerly. And The
Times asks: ”ls Southern chivalry dy
ing out? Have men of tile Soutli lost
their respeet for females and forgotten
that they owe them a certain degree of
politeness?” And it answers the ques
tion in the following:
Wo think not, ami would say, that
any fniluro on their part is due to over
sight and forgetfulness rather than to
nay loss of respect for the Indies. These
remarks nre suggested by tho fact that
men are to be seen sitting in seats on
street cars in Montgomery dally while
ladies are standing, holding to the aides
of the seats, ns ropes have been aban
doned long ago, as men were trusted to
be gallant nnd not forget their raising.
The true Southern gentleman will never
forget his raising or fnil to bo polite to
ladies, anywhere and everywhere. ’ ’
Men have not lost their respect for the
ladles and never will; that is to say, real
men; roughnecks may not regard ladies
in the light they should, but they have
never done so, and it is not expected
that they will do so now.
But. tho question precipitated by Tho
Times rccnlls what wo heard a follow say
not so long ago, that he ilidn’t mind re
linquishing his seat in n street car
to n Indy; in fnct, it alwnys nfforded
him a great deal of pleasure to do so,
provided appreciation of his act of cour
tesy was shown; but it did not set very
well with him to give up his seat to a
woman who showed no appreciation of
the courtesy.

NR Tonight—Tomorrow Feel Right
When your liver goeB on strike and
you feel a sick headache and bilious
spell coming on. Instead of prodding
your liver with dangerous calomel and
lashing your bowels with strong, Ir
ritating purgatives, get out your box
of mild, gentle-acting NR Tablets and
take one right oft.
Relief will come just as quickly and
with it genuine, lasting benefit. "
There will be no griping, gnaw
ing pains or doubling stomach
ache. Nature’* Remedy (NR 1
Tablets) work promptly and
thoroughly, but the action Is
gentle, mild and soothing.
Relief comes through the ac- .
tion of Nature’s Remedy on not
only the liver, but on the whole diges
tive and eliminative system,—the stom
ach, the bowels and even on the kid
neys. Stored up accumulations of
waste and body poisons that have
been clogging the system are complete
ly cleared out, the over-worked stom
ach la strengthened and the Interrupted
work of digestion and assimilation Is
resumed. The inactive liver goes to
work*with new vigor, the bowels
are unburdened, the headache leaves,
that dull, "dopey,'’ want-to-crawl-
- ‘ * "
"pop” and appetite return and you
find yourself entirely, completely re
lieved.
There is no better proof of the
great value of Nature’s Remedy for
biliousness and constipation than the
fact that more than one million NR
Tablets are used every day,—more
than five million boxes sold every
- year.
If you’ve not already done so,
get a 25c box of Nature's Rem
edy (NR Tablets) and take the-
first tablet tonight. If your
constipation is stubborn or per
sistant, continue to take one
each night for a week or so.
Then note how you feel. Your bow
els will be as regular as clock work,
and you’ll find yourself in better
shape physically, mentally, every way
than you’ve been in many a day.
After that you need not take medicine
every day. An occasional NR Tablet
to keep your system in good condi
tion will be sufficient, and you can
always feel your best. Remember it
is easier and cheaper to keep well than
to get well. Just try it.
