THE MAN WITH THE HOE
The farmer does not lack advisers
for he meets them every day and
Sunday too. Good farming is not in
the land, the stock, nor the climate.
It is in the men, and the women
that till the sofl, feed the stock, take
advantage of the weather, and who
continually strive to declare pro
gress and success.
How many of the polished people
in the cities and towns ever take
time to think what would happen to
them, if the farmer, whom many
only look askance, should suddenly
decide to abolish his vocation? About
the only time countless city people
ever think of the farmer at all, is
when they settle their grocer's bill
and condemn the honest farmer for
the high cost of living. Censure the
blameless farmer who is ever indus
triously doing his duty and who re
ceives very little compensation for
all of his hard labor and time,
The farmer believes in persever
ance and applies it earnestly in his
every day life. The farmer as a rule
is optimistic. He sgmiles and hopes
when he knows he is at the mercy
of flood, drought, epidemic and insect
plagues. It is bigh time that city
folks correctly regard the farmer
and take more notice of ‘“the man
with the hoe.”

ENGLISH HENS VISIT AMERICA
' In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears a report of an egg
'laying contest recently terminated in
'this country. One of the most inter
{esting passages in this report fol
ows:
| “The really sensational feature
ZOf the contest, thus far, is the won
;derful record made by the pen of S.
'C. White Leghorns entered in the
contest by an English poultryman.
This pen, during the six months
laid 1,234 eggs, which is 153 eggs
more than the next best pen laid,
and an average of 47.8 eggs per hen
more than the averuge production
per hen, of all the hens in the con
test. i .
’ “The question 'huturally arises,
‘Why has this English pen so far
out distanced our American pens?’
‘There must be a reason. When ten
birds, after traveling on ocean and
land for two weeks, much of tihe
time without feed or water, can
start right in and make a record of
this kind, there must be something
more than ‘luck’ behind it.
i ‘““The owner of this pen states that
.every oune of the ten pullets in the
pen was bred from a female with a
‘high record for egg production, and
sired by a male out of a high pro
,ducing hen. Therein seems to lie
the secret of the wonderful record
which this pen is making.
! “There can be no doubt but that
the average American poultry-breed
er, during the past few years, has
been paying so much attention to
"the color of feathers and show re
cords that he has lost sight of the
more important matter of egg pro
rduction. Ome thing is certain, pro:
jmiscuous and careless breeding will
never enable the poultrymen of this
country to make any progress in ¢gg
production. Careful breeding and
_selection must be practiced if pro
gress is to be made.”
PURE APPLER OATS FOR SALE. |
| I made a thousand and thirty
\four bushels of pure Appler Oats on
twenty acres of land this year, They
were the freest of smut, in fact had
nene at all. No wheat, rye or for
leign matter of any kind. I have
'these oats sacked in two bushel sacks
and am offering them within the
next thirty days at 75 cents per
bushel. This is a fine opportunity
for anyone who wants to buy some
pure Appler Oats for seed to be sown
this fall.

12,500 BOYS AND GIRLS
‘ RAISING CORN IN GEORGIA
The following is taken from the
current issue of Farm and Fireside:
“According to the enrollment list
at the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture, 10,000 boys and 2,600
girls are enrolled in the Coran Clubs
;0f Georgia. The Corn Club of Car
roll County alone has an enrollment
of 312 boys.
““The purpose of the organization
of these culbs is to demonstrate the
possibilities of raising large crops of
corn economically all through the
State. The present work is a devel
opment of several years,”
OBSERVER.
FARMERS CAN GET WHAT
"THEY WANT FROM CONGRESS
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside Judson C. Welliver, Wash
ington correspondent of that publi
cation, prints an article entitled
“The Farmer and the Future,” in
which he says that in the past the
tariff and other laws have been
beneficial to the manufacturer rath
er than to the farmer. He says that
a changg is at hand and that the
farmer is about to come in for a share
‘of Government favors. Following is
an extract from the article:
“Another direction in which Gov
ernment encouragement is to be ex-
Etonded to the agricultural commun
ity is that of roads. Whether we
‘believe in it or not—a good many
:roal farmers don’t—it is plafn as
daylight that the National Govern
ment is going presently into the bus
iiness of building country roads. The
beginnings will be modest and rath
or experimental; but it is an enter
'prise that, once entered upon, is
[wrtain to absorb more and more
fimportance to itself. We can all re
colleet how tentatively and cautious
ly the first experiments in rural free
delivery were undertaken. Nobody
would have dared tackle it if it had
been realized that inside of twenty
vears Uncle Sam would actually be
lugging a daily mail to almost every
farmhouse door. They would have
been certain that such a stunt would
bankrupt the Government. It did
nothing of the kind; the post office
keeps right on providing new facili
ties and coming closer and closer to
a profit.
‘“Perhaps, therefore, it is safe for
for the Government to jump into the
good-roads business, in partnership
with the States. One thing is certain:
If the farmers want Federal aid in
building roads, they can get it by
going after it. Congress is in a melt
ing mood. Nobody is prepared to vote
against anything the farmers are
agreed in wanting; partly because of
the farmers political importance,
partly because of this new disposi
tion to transfer the pampering from
the manufacturer to the farmer., If
You want your fur stroked the right
way, Mr. Farmer, just hump your
back and rub up against Congress.”

Good morning, Mr. Smith.
Why, hello, Jones. How are you?
Feeling fairly good, thank you. You are well?
Never felt better in my life, Jones. What's the news up in
your section; Oh, nething of interest, Mr. Smith, I supgose
you’ve heard of old man Bill Johnson’s misfortune. No. What?
Why, cld man Bill got robbed the other day. You don’t say seo?
How was that, Jones? Wh » he took his folks over to visit a
neighbor the other day and fiefore going placed his bag of money
of about $240 between the mattresses of his bed. When they got
back they found the house had been broken mto and the money
gone. No clue to the identity of the robbers. (Smith, wise man)
““Well, Ido know. And you know it was no longer than one day
last week that I told old man Bill that somebody would find out
he had money in his house, and that he had better bring it down
and put it in the bank at Powder Nprings. It would have been
perfectly safe there. They carry all sorts of insurance, burglarr
fire, fidelity and depositors. They have clever and efficient,
officials, and that bank is backed by the best people of that
coommunity.’’
