PLANTING
TIME is NEAR.

d EMEMBER that the season for
IL planting Is near at hand, and a
crop properly planted is easily worked.
Our Corn Drills give universal satts-
faction, both in dropping corn and dis
tributing fertilizers.
Our Cotton Planters have a revolv-
ing feed wheel, also bevel iron wheel
which will condense the seed to such
a narrow space that the seed will burst
almost any crust that may be formed
by heavy rains-this is distinct ad-
vantage over other planters.
We will have in stock In few days
new lot of the celebrated Standard
Grand Rotary Sewing Machines. Some
of the best seamstresses Of this place
are using the Standard Grand and
they are highly pleased, especially SO
with the lightness in operating the
machine. Remember that the Stand
ard Grand is two machines in one,
which no other sewing machine COM
pany dares to claim. When In need we
will be glad to serve you.

he was unwilling to commit himself to
idleness. Recently, however, the
Southern began taking about all the
water it uses between Kings Creek
and Rock Hill at Sharon, and finding
the work of attending to the pump too
heavy, Mr.. Thomas resigned. He does
not stand in need Of such employment
for a livelihood. He has been careful
and saving all his life, and has man
aged to provide for his old age with
reasonable comfort. Not ONLY that; he
enjoys the respect and esteem Of

"InValids Want to

hesitate. II is only step from ono
class to tho other-but how different
tho point of view!"
You May Be Healthy
And insurable today. Next week you
may not be insurable in a company OF
the Mutual Benefits class, and should
you be brought to realize the fact you
would mourn over your procrastina-
ton. Nineteen men out of twenty
who know anything about the princi-
pies Of life insurance and who are ia
miliar with the record Of the Mutual
Benefit and its Policy contracts, Will
tell you that no company in the world
can or will give you more for your
money than you can get from the Mu-
tual Benefit, and they will also tell you
that it is not necessary to know any
thing about policies or insurance In or
der to get anything to which you are
entitled to as much as the man who
knows it ALL"

Value of Hioh-sred Corn.

A grower of high quality corn gives
the following reasons why such corn
will be most valuable for the farmer
to raise: Like produces like. on.
spring partakes of physical and chemi-
cal characteristics Of both parents.
Prepotency is increased by breeding.
Purity can be maintained by selecting
for seed only ears that are true to
type and that have been grown in an
isolated position. High oil corn fin
ishes beef and pork more rapidly than
ordinary corn, and fewer bushels Of
corn are required to do the same
work. Oil is the most valuable by.
product of the glucose factory, and in
time premium will be paid ON high
oil corn. High protein makes corn a
balanced ration for growing cattle. A
corn high in both oil and protein is
the ideal feeding corn. The yield of
high bred corn is from 10 to 40 per
cent greater than that of ordinary
corn. In pedigree corn the per cent
of barren stalks is reduced to the
minimum, while the per cent of ears
is raised to the maximum. One hun
dred bushels Of high bred corn have
been produced where ordinary corn
yielded sixty bushels.

Possibilities in Truck GROWING.

Recently the writer was favored
with a visit from Mr.. Fred Engel, of
Dolton, Illinois. That gentleman is
a truck gardener, and on little over
rs acres of land makes living for
his family of six persons. He says
he could make living off 10 acres
If he had too. Asked as to his most
profitable crop this year, he replied
that 1t was asparagus. OF this he
had in the past cleared $500 per
acre. This is an illustration of what
intensive farming can do. He had
also, he said. made good profits from
his crops Of potatoes, cabbages and
onions: Intensive culture must be
looked to for profits in the future. 1t
is not SO much problem of how to
get more land to farm, as it is a
question of how to get OFF the land
now under cultivation double the
amount We now obtain. That such
an increase is possible on the aver
age is absolutely certain, as the av-
erage production per acre is very
low. The use of fertilizers makes it
possible TO increase the products of
the garden, and the draining of the
land, where natural drainage is not
perfect, is another means to make
the land more productive.
There are great possibilities of de-
velopment in this part of the farm
work. BY the last census more than
100000 farms are shown to be grow.
ing such large quantities of this
kind of produce that they are put
down under the head of vegetable
farms. We can learn much in meth.
DDS from the French and Belgian
farmers, who grow tremendous crops
on small areas. The gardeners
around our great cities are also max.
ing some good records. which should
be taken to heart by the men whose
methods needs intensifying.-Farm
ers' Review.

Horticultural Products for 1902.

Horticultural Products for 1907.
1t is estimated that the apple crop
of 1902 is about double that of 1901.
but the rainy season impaired the
keeping quality of fruit in some por-
tons of the country, notably New
York, where large amounts were
forced onto the market early in De-
cember and sold as low as Is cents
per cwt. The best Jonathans, which
command the highest market price,
were grown in Missouri and Illinois.
These are now bringing $3.50 per bar
rel, against $3.50 to $500 for choice
greetings. Irrigation grown apples
from Colorado and Idaho, which have
been marketed in bushel boxes, were
of the finest quality and commanded
top prices. The entry Of Armour &
Co. and other packing firms into the
fruit trade on big scale has fright
ened out some Of the smaller dealers.
The trade in apples and other fruits
is being revolutionized In other ways.
Cold storage houses have been large.
ly erected in apple districts and 1t
is believed that stocks in storage at
this time are larger than ever before.
Combinations among growers and bet
ter methods of packing and market
ing favor shipments direct from the
growing to the consuming point and
the trade of Chicago, which has been
distributing center, has suffered in
consequence. The practice Of selling
crops in bulk on the trees for a cash
figure to dealers who pack and mar
ket them, appears to be growing.
Consignments to commission dealers
as rule are Of inferior quality, and
local commission men have discov-
cred the necessity of sending buyers
into the orchard districts early in the
season to bid against buyers from
other places. This was particularly
noticeable this season in the peach
trade, large shipments being made di.
rect from producing points to places
heretofore supplied by Chicago mer-
chants.
The melon trade of Chicago, which
was very heavy, has demonstrated
that the Gem melon of Illinois and
Michigan can not hold Its own with
its finer favored rival. the Rocky
Ford cantaloup of Colorado. Illinois
and Michigan crops were large but
prices were far below those of former
years. The watermelon crops of Illi-
nois and Indiana were of fine quality
and the yield large. Prices opened at
SIS to $50 per car, receding as low as
SIS before the close of the season.
The first melons of the season from
Tyler, Texas, brought $500 per car.
The grape crop was light and dis
appointing, particularly in New York.
where the yield was not more than
half the usual average. High prices
were maintained throughout the sea-
son and wine makers had such diff
Guilty in securing stocks that the vint-
age of 1902 will be about SO per cent
short.
The cranberry crop was also short
about so per cent, and the keeping
quality Of the fruit impaired by wet
weather. Prices at this time, $3.50 to
$500 per barreD are higher by a dol.
lar per barrel than one year ago.
Reports indicate that the yield of
late potatoes in eastern states was
light, but Wisconsin and Michigan
growers had good crops which they
sold at 80 to 40 cents per bushel.
Chicago quotations at the close of the
year were 40 to so cents in carload
lots.

Importance of Good Seed Corn

There are nine and a quarter mil.
lions of acres in corn in this state.
BY adding five bushels per acre to
the yield Of the Iowa cornfields II
means an addition to the profits of
the Iowa farmers Of over $4,000 900
every year. An important factor in
the improvement of corn is good seed
corn. Good seed is secured only by
careful and intelligent selection. The
unfavorable conditions for the corn
crop this fall. resulting from the ear
ly frosts In many portions Of Iowa,
will make necessary unusual care in
the selection of seed corn for next
years crop. Successful breeders
agree that the best seed corn is that
which possesses the greatest vitality
or terminating power. and which will
yield the most corn per acre and of
the best quality, and therefore prove
the most profitable to grow. Good
seed corn will increase the yield per
acre five to twenty bushels. Hence
the importance this year of taking
unusual care in selecting and storing
the seed corn which is to be used
next spring in the fields of Iowa
