WASTE ON THE FARM.
\ Prolific Source of Debt and Mortgage


\ Prolific Source of Debt and Mortgages
Discussed.
We would like to indulge in a little
plain talk with farmers upon the above
subject. Riding through the country
on the cars or in carriage, every
thoughtful, observing man must be i'm
pressed by the fact that considerable
proportion of the land in sight is run
ming to waste, producing much less
than its capacity. We will see large
tracts OF wet land, swamps or swales,
producing but little else than coarse,
wild weeds neither palatable nor
nutritious. The land is making little or
no return for the capital invested in it
or the taxes paid upon it. 1t is but a
drag, a dead weight upon the remain
der of the farm, and it's loss must be
made up from the profits of the land
under good cultivation.
Then the observing will see that pas
ture fields are not yielding as much
feed as they ought to, because,the seed
ing is thin, run out, as the saying is, or
perhaps killed out in spots by water or
freezing. How many old pasture
fields on average farms are yielding
anything like good burden of tame
grass. Whatever it may fall short of
its maximum capacity under good man
agement, is lost, waste. No farmer can
afford such waste. No manufacturer
or merchant could remain solvent a
year who permitted such waste.
Then we see that meadows ore often
but little better. There may be spots
or stripes of rank, luxuriant
grass which would yield from
two tc two and Il half tons
of hay to the acre, but the average
of the field would be so reduced by the
thin and bare spots that the hay would
not pay legal interest on the invest
ment.
But, observe the grain fields; those
fields upon which labor has been ex-
pended in cultivation. How seldom
you see an even growth all over the
field. There may be portions where the
luxuriance of the grain is truly crafty
ing, impressing us with the munificent
liberality of nature, but how often on
other portions the stand of grain is thin
and the growth short and weak. The
fertility over the field is not uniform,
and water has settled in low spots and

The regions most favorable for the
occurrence of tornadoes are the Missis.

the Gulf and South Atlantic states.
Tornadoes are confined almost entirely
to the summer season, the months OF
greatest frequency being April, May,
June and July. The month of greatest
frequency is May. 1t may be generally
stated that tornadoes do not occur in
the United States west of the one-hun.

This One That He IS Going to the Plant

The report comes into Savannah by wav
OF Montgomery, Ala, that Cecil Gabbett
late general manager Of the Central rail
road, would be appointed general manager
of the Plant system.
The rumor has it that Mr.. Plant has dis

Plant system has necessitated the appoint

such Office now on the Plant system nor on
any of the roads composing the system

The excursion was given under the auspices
OF the Ladies' Bryan Mutual Aid Society,

and saw ore of them open his sachel in
which was stored a bulldog and a bottle OF
whisky, out of which the excursionist took
drink and offered a drink TO another
