Time for work on Georgia farms.
Still, the Incessant rains have pre
vented activity on the plantations.
Not a single section has been left
without a surfeit of rain. From the
mountain to the sea the deluge has
been general, and in many Instances
great damage has been done. It ha?
teen full many a year since such dire
-alnmltios from the elements visited
Jeorgia. A grim old farmer, hard-
m d by years of determined struggle,
gripped my hand the other day and
leclared that tanners weren't behind
vith their work, that all were even
:t the contest. His optimism was
ileasant. but the liest of us grow
omowhat discouraged at times.
Through twenty years of careful
>tmly, and with the records of years
tack of this, I do not recollect any-
liing approaching the season we have
■xperlenced during the whole winter.
Vctually only two real cold spells
lave extended as far down us tho
niddle of the state, and during the
,inter grass has grown like It was
pring time. Through February and
larch, to dale, the rains hive been
.ae the spring rains. Even now the
everbernting roar of thunder breaks
ho dreary stillness of the night, aud
ho steady downpour of rain con-
.titles It Is wonderful how nature
; governed. For two days now the
i!ti has continued, and many of tho
itlcs and hundreds of the farms o£
he state are being injured by tho
water.
Folk who have not had experience
with flood and fire ought to be thank
ful that they have escaped these ca
lamities, for they are worse things
jy far than thi downpour of rain on
he farm. And when these condition.!
.retail for .tn> length at lini**, the
• hole count"y fr Is the effect of It.
>l;p tin- country folk out of tho
arid and there wouldn't he much of
i}.liing else ell. When I'm (mill-
tv folk forget to come to town the
up,chains ire Idle, and the trade of
he community at large la stagnant
t's womtetful how quick these little
hinge—really the l.lg things—have
in effect In every branch of busi
ness.
Looking Ahead.
There Is really no use complaining
on account of the adverse conditions
The farmer who will succeed this
year is the man who will plan ahead.
Jf course there are lots and lots ol
oik who can’t secure things thev
vant, but there are many who can
lo so. v Now It lss very important
hat every posslblj* effort be made
o retrieve the loss of time which
vill result from tho inclement weath-
r. Crops that .grow quick, cotton
hat matures early, seed that will
leld best, will be cheap at almost
iny price. The value of a few pounds
nore cotton per acre, or a bushel o-
wo of corn more on the game acre,
vlll be worth a farmer's attention
I’hc man who neglects these points
Ills year will have cause to think
ibout thlB matter next year.
liut, really, It Is a hard old story
o have to tell when one comes to the
nd of the season and looks hack and
lees where things might have been
Afferent. Ill looks just as easy to
aticy Just when a piece of hard land
:an be plowed best, but when th"
Ime cornea It Is often out of season
ind the farmer has to do tho best
he can. Working all the year and
reaping no reward Is something hit
ler, but, ch, how many of us have to
,voik a lifetime and never got any
thing good ibis side—but let us hope
hat beyond the shining ltlver there
s something that will be recompense
enough. Surely If anybody gets It,
it will bo the farmer, and yet he Is
not alone in his trials and his trou
bles, for others in every walk of
life can Join him with that fellow-
feeling which makes us wondrous
kind—the little touch of nature that
makes us all akin.

the best of food ts grown—cotton
seed meal and hulls—tho finest
dairy farms In the country should be
found. The trouble heretofore has
been with poor cattle, and farmers
who did not know have tried to make
big money out of scrub and grade cat
tie. It is impossible to feed poor
cattle, or even to graze them profit j
ably.
A good friend of mine argues that
he grows cowpea hay at $4.50 pet
ton, and that hp can afford to feed It
at any rate to his own cattle. The
cattle as a whole are simply scrubs,
and the hay he is giving them can
be sold to his neighbors actually a:
$25 per ton, and they will come r'ght
to Ills barn for it. He declares tha
ho Is not feeding $25 hay simply be
cause he raised It at a cost of less
than $5 per ton. This Is folly, pure
and simple, and while 1 believe In
giving back to the land, yet one can
grow cowpeas forever, 1 think, ou i-
plat of land and sell every pound ol
the hay, and as the years go by the
fertility will Increase, especially If
some acid phosphate Is applied.
What Good Seed Does.
This Is cotton planting time. The
Alabama Experiment station did mo
the honor of placing seed furnished
by me at the head of their list In
their variety cotton tost made Iasi
year. Thirty-four varieties were tost
< (1 and the seed furnished by me—
Dillon—led all the rest by 10 per
acre und there was a difference ol
about 45 per acre In that and the
lowest. Some people may not think
this Is an argument for good seed, but
what else can It be? For three years
we selected and Improved the seed
and this was the result.
The Dillon seed are virtually die
enso proof, resisting nearly every dis
ease kuown to cotton and conse
quently It is valuable everywhere and
It may bo only a tew years before
11, or some similar cotton, will have
to bo planted over tho whole cotton
licit. Last fall J visited tho farm
of a very prominent cotton grower
and found that hundreds of stalks of
cotton were seriously affected—plats
actually being killed out by wilt, or
black root—and yet ho Is advert is
lag his seed. This will scatter the
disease, eventually entailing an In-
estimable loss to hundreds of farmers
who will probably purchase his seed
Disease proof cotton will have to
supplant ordinary varletls In sucl
instances.
These troubles are found In the
leguminous family also, and with
cowpeas It Is especially noticeable.
There Is only one variety—the Iron—
that has been found resistant to wll’
and roof rot. There are many other
valuable varieties of cowpeas for
most sections of the country, but the
Iron Is the only one that can stand
tho wilt. Farmers must get busy
they must study conditions from on<
year's end to another, they must plat
ahead to overcome obstacles. Edu
cation acquired by practical experi
ence nnd study must be made bene
ficial or else failure will result. Thh
Is the tme to get busy, to examne
nto details and prepare for early
crops and late crops; of the latter
we shall write more later on If all
goes well—that Is to say. well, Pro
vldence permitting, as the best and
worst of us must prefix our promises
with that provision.

With a little care In the making of
nests ami proper care cf the sitting
hins chicks of good vigor may be
raised In large numbers. Where It Is
hens, they will be more conveniently
lock( d after by making a hank of nests
and placing it along the side of the
poultry house or In some unused
shed. The nests may be about
12x12x14 Inches in size, made by tak
ing two 12-inch beards for the top
nnd bottom and cutting another 12-
inch board Into 44-ineh lengths for the
partitions, then nailing them together,
as many as desired. The top of . the
bottom row will furnish the bottom
of the second row, and four or five
rows of nests may thus be placed to
gether. There should be a hinged
board in front to confine the sitters.
The hens should be let out every day
to feed and drink for about fifteen
minutes, the length of time depend
ing on the weather conditions. Use
several inches of fine waste hay In
the bottom of the nests. Short cut
straw or clean chaff will also answer
the purpose. Pyrethrum powder or
tobacco dust should be used as often
as necessary on the fowls and in the
nests to keep the lice In check. If
lice are fe.und on th> heads and

If you were a merchant, would
n’t you rather sell a thousand
yards of silk in a day, at a prolit
of 10c a yard, than to sell (with
out advertising) fifty yards, at a
profit of 25cts a yard?
Isn’t it plain that in all such
instances the buyer gets the ben
efit of the “volume of business’’
which advertising enables the
merchant to do?
The money cost of a journey—
long or short —by stage coach
(not to count time, <r comfort)
was greater than that of a pres
ent day journey bv railway. The
“old ways” of doing thing wera
not even CHEAPER.

The cost of thirgs in an old-
fashioned store nowadavdy is
greater than in the progressive
stores—the advertised stores.
It’s not even CHEAPER to pat
