Somebody has said that all things
come sooner or later to those who
wait. Down In Georgia folk have
been waiting for winter for the Isat
three months, but It has not yet de
veloped to any considerable extent.
If a couple of cold spells, with not so
very much Ice, can be called winter
then times are different from what
they used to be. However, maybe
the winter time will comp later on
in the year to All the peaches and
hurt the cotton crop, especially the
early plantings. This providence which
moves. In mysterious ways may he ad
justing things to suit new conditions,
and for this reason lhe change may
be made.
Some years ago I used to give strict
attention to the old stories I heard
about the seasons, and In fact, 1
tried to glean some information along
all lines concerning the past. Judg
Ing the future by the past Is pretty
poor business, generally speaking, bin
one has to do that or quit judging at
all. The latter solution Is about the
best way to do that grand act, for
after all theorizing is no good. In
these old stories theorizing must have
found its origin, for I never heard of
anything so theoretical as the state
ments made to me by those good old
lime friends. There are still lota
of believers In the old theories about
the moon and the time lo plant
things. One of these Ideas also re
lated lo killing hogs and stated that
If hogs were killed on the Increase
of the moon, whatever thal be, the
meat would ho ull right, while on the
other hand, If it should he done dur
ing lhe decrease, the moat would
dwindle down to nothing when cook
ed .
Moonshine.
Ylut Ibis fallacy about planting
things on the right time of the moon
Is ilrwly imbedded in the minds if
many people today, and hundreds
throughout the south will not plant
crops thal grow under ground except
during the time when there Is no
room i hlnlug at right and crops' that
grow above ground, like watermelons,
coin and others ol sljnilur nuturo am
planted during the time when nights
are bright. There 1b no possible ex-
cause for any such action.
So It la, tlioEO who have been tell
ing about the weather this y< ar, have
advanced all kinds of solutions. How
ever, It seems a pretty well establish
ed fact that In tills section lhe win
tertime liaB been changed since the
great Charleston earthquake, of some
twenty years ago. Before that time
blizzards were not unusual In Geor
gia, and rivers were sometimes frozen
over, hut only once since that time
has there boen ice enough on the
ponds to skate upon, and the rivers
have not been frozen.
The cold of winter is valuable to
lhe farmers generally, for It kills out
lots of disease germs that affect
plants Just as others affect the human
system. When the cold does not
come some precaul Ion must he taken
to prevent disaster from being
wrought to the crops. The Insects
are now ..ho greutest enemy the Am
erican farmer has to contend with,
and unless care Is used damage will
result. Thorough plowing will be
one of the surest plans to follow to
minimize the danger. 'Try harrow
ing, pulverizing, and results will be
satisfactory.
The Farmer's Freedom.
The poetry of nearly all kiuds el
business seems to be getting more
pros.alcal than ever before. There's
hardly any class of business man to
be found nowaday who delights hi his
work and tells about the rosy side
The farmer nan about as hard a row
as the next man when It comes I y
routine work, but after all be has
some delightful sides to his existence.
.The matter of working pretty much
as one chooses Is bis greatest bless
ing, so to speak, and the room for
expansion In work Is another. Any
thing that holds men down to one set
channel of w irk is disagreeable, anJ
In the end will arouse dls content
In this connection it may be well
to state that, this year fanners every
where can take up a new study In the
way of farming by growing new-crops
for tholr sections and using new cul
tural methods. This will act! to the
pleasure of the work and will be high
ly beneficial.
Dairying and Livestock.
The folks wh(y ought to know claim
that dairying I9 to be the most im
portant branch of southern agricul
ture in the future. This lyt surely
true, If It Includes raising the hay
and gtain needed on the fatms. The
farmer of the days to be who does not
grow the product* r. -ded cn hts farm
will he h. a good way ft; fall to make-
a living, especially if colt I. sells as
low as It d>d last year, and grain costs
as much as It is coating now. The
average cy'.ton farmer cannot afford
to pay a dollar per bushel for corn, no
matter if he Is raising 10 cents cot
ton. He cannot afford to pay 325
per ton for hay.
Therefore, it may well bo said that
dairying and livestock must be the
coming mainstay. A few years ago
the labor problem was the cll-nhsorb-
lng question In the south, attd today
t is no less dominant. While it la
not such a hard matter to get tho
amount of lnbor needed. It Is still a
harder matter to secure pioflt from
that handled.
Resolving the question to Its list
analysis. It Is Just ns Important' now
to handle 'be situation, 'n n logical
way, as It was a few years ago, when
labor could not bo procured, firow
crops that do not need much labor,
use everything possible at home, and
sell surplus crops when thu market
price Is most satisfactory. T1 at la
'.lie solu.lou.
But what will we care uliotit the
monotonous things of life when we
reach t>'« glorious springtime, which
Is Just a little further ahead? These
are things that bo relegated to tho
rear, and the brightness of earth will
eclipse the grandeur of other tjiings.
What a pity it Is that tUft grass
g'owing green, covering Ihg bears of
earth with robes of benediction, could
not cover likewise the sotTons of
aching human hearts’ If such could
be the ense, what a great and glorl
oils world this would bo; how wohder-
fill would ho the springtime then!
But, alas, hearts must suffer and souls
bo stricken before wo reacll tho best

SunBhlne! What a blessing God
has given to his creatures. Nothing
could exhit without the glorious suti-
shlne! Coming to this earth of ours
In wave like motion of light it brings
lhe energy and heat that makes ex
istence possible. Can we blame tha
ancients for worshiping this precept-
lablo blessing? Does It not resemble
a controlling power ,a kind of god
In ltsilf? The seed when bursting
Into life ns a young plant Is forced
by energy stored in its bosom by the
laminating and heat giving waves
from "Great Sol,” and Is nursed
tenderly and urged on to growth by
this controlling element. The soil Is
ameoliated, the moisture evaporated
and carried up lo be distributed as a
life giving fluid to all forms of life.
With Its germ killing properties,
IIa cleaning ability and its brighten
ing aspect, verily what would we do
without the sunshine? No fires would
be possible, as the heat derived from
coal and wood Is liberated from the
stored up sunshine. The stimulat
ing and heat giving properties of food
that builds up the body and makes
growth possible are all derived from
this manifold blessing. The farmer
gets the full benefit of this blessing.
God Intended man to be a tiller of
the soil, and makes that life the raoBt
enjoyable, the healthiest and most
profitable to mankind. For what Is
wealth without health? Blessed be
the sunshine!—L. S. Wolfe.
The D. A. R, have
the right to expect the
support of the com
munity in their pat
riotic purpose. The
way to give it is lo at
