THE CLEVELAND
T
ASBESTOS BUZZING
Mr. J. Will Thurmond is now
working the soads here.
Gentle Spring smiled at tis, yes
she smiled at us, but cruel Winter
has suddenly sit down in the lap of
Spring and she is now suffering a
relapse. The rains and sunshine
of changnble April will give her
another send off.
The roads are getting better and
tlrev are beginning to go to Burton
Lake. The fish have begun to bile
in earnest. All that visited there
in the past want to go. back there
again this Summer.
Agriculture means to cultivate
the field. Those of us who tend
only small patches are engaged in
horticultuee we suppose. When
man began to farm lie ceased to be
a wanderer and the farming called
fourth the other occupations. They
needed to buy that which they
eould not produce and lienee the
merchant. They needed spiritual
counsel and hence the preacher.
They wanted teachers for their
children and this called for teach¬
ers. They were in want ol the
lawyer for business counsel this
ctllled them forth. If you ask the
passing tramp if lie ever planted
anything, the most of them will
tell you they never have. Some
genius like Luther Burbank will
yet make wonderful discoveries in
production of plant life. There is
something wonderful in all the
llowers and plants all around us.
As Bill Arp use to say, we think
the Leaf Scribe, "hit the keynote,”
when iu telling of the attainments
-of a lady, he said : "she was a good
cook.” We are sworn to tell the
whole truth but we do not tell the
most important. In telling of the
accomplishments of our young
people we tell how many languages
they can Speak, how well they can
play the piano and whether they
have been through college or not.
And how well they can play base
ball, foot ball or Mali Jong. But
we don't sav one word as to how
well they can cook or set the lien.
Or whether the man knows how to
plow old buck but we tell whether
they can dance the fox trot or the
buzzard lope.
Public schools, the church, the
railroads and printing press have
done wonderful things for the ad
vancement of this country. There¬
fore it behoves us not to try to
muzzle the prej>s or try to throw
obstructions in the way of these
other institutions.
This weather will not do much
injury to the gardens for the peop'e
have planted a good deal of pepper
and this will help to keep off the
Cold. After awhile if it turns off
dry like it did 'ast Summer they
will plant onions among their po¬
tatoes. This will make the eyes of
the potatoes water and thus irigate
them.

This bank would like to see a full crib of corn
on every farm this fall. We have noticed in our
years of experience in banking that those farmers
who grow their own corn are in better shape to
face the weevil.
Corn has become as good a basis for credit as
cotton. Our only means of successfully combating
the boll weevil is to first grow enough corn and
other feed stuffs for use on the farm and make
cotton the surplus crop.
