Georgia Farm Stories

I'd like to write something practi
cal toll ubout tin- way to follow the
plow, to lay olt (ho corn rows, to pr*-
tor the various minor-crops, but who
could do such u thins when the flow
ers are blooming In midwinter, the
birds singing souks of springtime, and
the world crowded full of beauty. I.uv
down the shovel and the hoe, quit
thinking about the monotonous rou-
llue of every-day drudgery, snd lei's
*et to thinking about other things.
Thst's the way one fools In the balmy
Hunshlne. No winter time In Qeorgla,
no sings of snow, but only ,u glimpse
of frost on one or two occasions; no
Ice, 'eept the kind >ou buy, Was
there ever such a winter In this sou-
tion of Dixie?
80 far as lolks can remember,
there's nothing to equal It. The oats
are growing loo large, the grass Is
growing Breen, the pastures are fair

and forthwith he was challenged to

Before tho assembled congregation
he assumed a somewhat pitiful and
dejected attitude. He told the mem

friends In the city, who wore so roy
ally kind to him bo didn't know how
to refuse their attentions; and, said
ho:
"I Just didn't know how to get
away without offendin' 'em, and they

How to Plant Corn.
But we can't live on idealism and
beautiful weather, no matter how-
hard we try. It takes deep plow
ing. proper fertilisation and good seed
to bring about results. Throughout
the whole cotton belt there has been
a wrong impression prevailing for nl
most a hundred years—and longer—
that H Is ncccssar'- In ei-mt corn xvld.

does that way nowuda.vs Is Just
throwing uway half of his time and

stalks of corn, and with proper cure

nals. Moral philosophy teaches us
that where Intentions are good the
deed Is good. That will not satisfy
people who are struggling for exist
ence. Still if men will only think
nnd plan many of the trials of life
will be pushed aside and splendid
cornfields will grow where only weeds
nourished before. The cattle ou the
farm will be well fed. the folk will
be happy and the reality of moral
philosophy will dawn upon the com
munity In a greater nnd better light.
Hut don't forget to plant more corn,
plant It close together, fertilise It
well, use good seed and the result
will be satisfactory.
Good Seed Essential.
The good seed proposition Is ahoul
the greatest problem that southern
farmers ever had to contend with.
The farmer who tries to work without
them is throwing time and energy
and he his no hope whatever of com
peting with the man who uses good
seed. It's a great pity that there is
I no law to prevent unscrupulous folk
i from Imposing on human nature In
I selling seed. The man who sells i

that they were good, but when sent

average. This is the result of late,
haphazard hatching, spare feeding
during the summer or the growing
time, and "cheap" wintering in cold
houses. It Is utter absurdity to ex
pect the host results from birds of
such descent, no matter what good
care they may now be given.
The number of this kind of flocks
still kept about the country is as

for only by stating that ignorance of
