CROPPING SYSTEM FOR 1922— la tho last issue of The Herald was published, in brief, n cropping plan »ng- ucAtcil by tho advisory board of tho County Form Bureau for use in 1922, nftor considerable deliberation anil dis cussion. For fear Hint it may huvu been overlooked by some of Tho Herald read ers, and in order to ndd some words of explanation, it is repented hero. For one plow: Corn, 7’/j acres; oats B notes; wheat, 2% acres; cotton, 5 acres; sweet potatoes, SYj acres; truck, garden, etc., 1 Ml acres. Pens or velvet beans to be planted, in corn and nftor «rnin. Corn, oats and wheat, and tho truck and gardon cropH, are regarded primarily as homo subsistence crops, but with fair crops they ought to feed one cow and two hogs over those required for tho home supply of milk, pork, etc. With reference to the money crops named, it must bo admitted that cotton under present conditions is a risky crop, and there must be such a reduc tion and substitution of other crops as will not leavo us without other resources in case of n cotton fail ure such as happened this year, and may happen next year; and yet in such a revolution ns absolute abandonment of cotton Would'Involve we should bo tak ing tt risk nonrly ns grent ns wo Bhould on cotton. It is therefore suggested that, cotton shall still form one of our money crops, but with such a reduced acreage ns well ns lessen tho risk. As to tho exact acreage, Hint, is a matter of Individual conditions, but moro than live acres to tho plow Is regarded ns very un- ■snfa Pcnmits hnve been included in the plnn for several good reasons: Wo hnve a market for penunts through, tho oil mills. Tho expense going into this crop is not lioavy, nnd It is not absolutely now to our people. On tho other hand, tho coBt of mnking tho crop is compara tively small, nnd will bo covered by tho value of the liny, if properly used, so that the nutH will bo net. It is believed that through the oil mills wo will bn nblo to get rensonnble credits on the seed, which would bn tile principal initial ex pense. Tho machinery for picking, which hnB boon heretofore the chief nood, would bo nvnllnble if a sufficient, ncre- ago is planted. Quito a number of far mers in our county tried out the crop in 1917 and 1018 nnd found it satisfactory, -except for tho difficulty of getting the nuts picked. 1 think Wd enn get. the threshing machinery guaranteed. Tho third money crop nnmod—sweet potatoos—Is probnbly the most profit able staple crop we can grow, provided wo enn get storage room enough. Ik is because of .this problem Hint the ncrengo in potatoes has been- plnced ns low ns two tinros por plow. Wo have not now, of course, anything like that storage •capacity, but It. seems to me if nil agencies work together, building Indi vidual houses, eo-operntlvo Iiouhoh and oommorcin! houses, wo can provide for nt loast two acres. This will not limit the farmor who can provldo or seeuro stor age room for more thnn the product of two nc.res. He enn increase his ncrengo in . proportion to his storngo room, and might vory well incrcnse Ids potato acreage nt tho expense of his cotton arrange. With tho reduction in the cotton ncrc- ago and substitution of less laborious crops, one plow can tnkc enro of n some what larger ncrengo, and this would al low of eltlior increasing tho corn nnd grain ncrengo, with the idon of market ing through hogs nnd cows; or some truck crop could bo nddod to tho list nbovo, provided proper surety of mar kets could bo guaranteed in ndvnneo. Two crops thnt were discussed by tho Farm Burenu Advisory Bonrd, and pro visionally approved, were onions nnd lima beans. I shall have something to •say about theso in tho noxt issue! B. M.

Squoozom- ponny for sending us thnt perfectly ise- less present, which hns had to ho clean ed every dny since., nnd never found a use for it yet. Generally, you try to solid a present that will remind him of you; for instance, a safety razor; but the only ono who could get away with thnt is Mr. Gillotte himself. The fact is, this “remembrance” businoBs is tho lonst pleasant thing about it—especially when next Christmns comes. All tho ChristnmB shopping is done at the Inst minute, not by those who fnilod to do their shopping early, but by thoso who forgot you sont thorn something Inst Christmas.

Then Christmns is over, nnd everyone is particularly pleased, as ho Ims hnd a fino Christmns, mid is con vinced ho 1ms been stuck.

JOY OF THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. Dr. Henry Vnn Dyke. Are you willing to forget whnt you linvo done for other peoplo nnd remember whnt other people linvo done for yon; 'ignore whnt tho world owos you, and to think whnt you owo tho world; to put your rights in tho background, nnd your duties in tlio middle distance, nnd your elinnco to do a little more than your duty in tho foreground; to see Hint your fel- lovimtn nro just, ns real ns you nro, and try to look behind their faces into their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that prolv •niffy tho only good renson for your exis tence is not wlint you nro going to got ■out of llfo, but wlmt you nre going to ■give life; to close your book of eom- plniuts ngninst tho universe, nnd look" around for n plnco whore you enn sow a few seeds of happiness—are you willing to do these things even for n dayf Then you can keep Christmas. Are you willing to stoop down nnd •consider tlie noods and tho desires of lit tle children; to remember the weakness nnd loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking wheUior your friends love you, nnd nsk yourself whether you lovo them enough to benr ■ in mind the things thnt other popple linvo to benr on their hearts; to try to understand whnt thoso who live in tho Biune house witli WHITE OAK.

Think wo shall givo our poor ndvico to each community council of the Form Buronu to purchase a truck and go tlvreo dnyB a week to At lanta with country produce, nnd if wo linvo to find our market away from home lot us buy our needed supplies where we nmrket our produce.

After tho holidays our community council will have several speakers to come and enlighten us on farm condi tions and plans for 1922, it will givo more light and loss smoko, und to carry it in front so thnt your •shadow will full behind you; to make n grave for your ugly thoughts and a gar den for your kindly feelings, with the gate open—are you willing to do Hieso things even for a day? Then you can keep' Christmns. Are you willing to believe that love is tho strongest tiling in tho world— stronger than hate, stronger than evil, • stronger than death—and that the bless- • cd life which began iu Bethlehem two thousand years ago is the imnge and 5 brightness of lie eternal love? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you enn keep ' it for a day, why unt always? But you ■ cau never keep it alone. o Cold feet arc abominable, whether in ’■Bed or out of it. MOST GENERALLY OBSERVED OF ALL FESTIVALS, Christmas is of all tho festivals tho most generally observed iu tho western world. It is the universal holiday of Christendom, nnd tho general plinscs of its observance are in their essentials similar in all countries. It is a sort of common ground on which wo nil moot for, at least, one day in the year. In Its religious aspect the festival is a remembrance of tho Christian faith— Hie gift of God to tiio world of n divine Savior. Out of Hint central and domi- you really want, without waiting for nant idea, no doubt, grew up tho prae- tliem to toll you; to trim your lamp so that tico of solocting Christmas above all oth- or seasons as the time for friends to bestow gifts upon one another, and, for nil who can, to extend charity to those in need. Although not, so old as the religious feature, the domestic nnd social features times, at nuy rate to times that are early times, at any rate to'imes that are early in our history. For centuries Christmas has been pre eminently n season of home-gathering, when absent ones return nml Hie family circle is once more completed, or ns near ly completed ns the changes and chances of life make possible. With home-coming was associated good cheer, and so Christ mns came to bo a season of feasUng and merry-making. o- — It is a dull week that doesn’t bring a new crisis of some sort.
