C. McAULIEFE 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 the land 1 m.tolling sweet with de lightful odors ili u c nne with fresh plowed soil.

The members had m m> notions peculiar ly their own. and seldom did any cl them venture beyond the coniines ol the r“tghhorhoi*d Hew ver, one day. In July, one of the best members Strolled awav to tin- rlty of Vugtlsta. gome fxf*' - and whtlo thdre, so the story which leaked out afterward went, imbibed too treoly, and forthwith he was challenged to allow cause why he should not be ex pelled. Before tho assembled congregation he assumed a somewhat pitiful and dejected attitude. He told the mem hers how he had made many new 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 took me in and fixed up a drink that looked mighty line, with green trim ming and sparklin' lee down In the goblet, and when I drank It my head”— "11 old on right where we are," ex claimed un obdurate member, who bud not been touched by the sialic men! given, "I move we drop tho charge of get tin' drank and dismiss him on the charge of lyin'. Who ever heard of lee in the middle of July?" And that's the way It Is down Georgia way. Who ever heard of a winter without any Ice? Hut if things don't hurry up and change It'll he all over, for ever since 1 could re member springtime has been coming In along toward the l.isi of March. 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. V' VVWSMT V ^ V V ▼ apart, say in six-foot row-H nnd about | four feet lit the drill. The man who does that way nowuda.vs Is Just throwing uway half of his time and his energy. The ground Is able and just as willing to bring twice as many stalks of corn, and with proper cure It will make more than twice us much corn. Time Is money. Knorgy la life. Men who waste these precious ac coutrements are more or. leas crJmt. 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 | poor seed to n confiding farmer Is \ i j sort of a robber, but still back of t hi -! i siand* the moral again. Many a tel i I low has sold seed firm In the belief i that they were good, but when sent j Into another section they didn’t prove up to the standard. For a number of years we’ve boon trying to grow some good seed, most ly for home use. and those who have read the Georgia letters know that I always recommend a farmer to grow his own seed wherever possible.

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 tonishing. nnd it may he accounted for only by stating that ignorance of the principles of good poultry hus bandry lies back of It.
