Awnless Bronze Grass.

Both for hay and pasture the hardy
grass Bromus inermis has been extern
sively introduced into Manitoba and
the Northwest Territories. AS a hay
grass it has proved heavy cropper,
the hay being palatable and highly nu-
tritious. AS a pasture grass 1t is partic.
ularly valuable by reason Of it's earli-
ness, large growth and succulent after
math, features of considerable impor-
lance to the farmer, dairyman and
stock raiser. We have made compari-
son between the hays of Bromus iner-
mis- and Bromus arvensis, the latter
grass that has recently received some
attention in the northwest. or two sam
pies analysed Bromus inermis is evil
IDENTITY the more valuable. This is
shown by it's larger percentage Of pro-
tein, as well as by its lower fiber con-
tent.-F. T. Shut, Canada.

Kitchen Aids.
Toward aiding the housewife the In
ventors have recently seemed to have
turned their energies. Any number OF
new little devices have appeared In the
shops which are to be used to tighten
the labors in the kitchen and in doing
the housework. For baking there Is an
ingenious pan for preventing cakes and
delicate sugar connections from burn
ing. Also u perfect steam cooker in
which the housewife can put on beans,
stews or viands that demand long
cooking and turn to other tasks, as
sured that the pot will not boil over or
stop boiling or boil too fast, as is the
case with ordinary boiling kettles.
When the bread making day comes
around there Is an automatic bread
kneader and dough making device and
also a handy contrivance for beating
up the raw material OF cakes and puN.

Give AND BUY AT HOME"

Tt is short. sighted policy to build up
competitive markets and outside inter
ests, from the merchant, manufact-
uPer, printer, contractor and builder
down to the smallest business enter
prise. There is nothing provincial
about the idea of living at home. II
is business, a practical policy which
has for it's object the safeguarding OF
local affairs and the strengthening OF
of our commercial and financial inter-
iests.
Under the above caption the Savan-
nah Press says:

to work out his own success unless be

AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF IT.
A Oisinterested Opinion as to That Ran
doIph County Petition.

From The Stewart Countian.
Asa part OF the dispensary fight
now on in Randolph county the state
ment is made that the farms of Terrell
county are mortgaged up to the limit.
The Dawson News denies this yigor-
ously. and a merely general knowledge
of the conditions in Terrell county
leads The Countian to believe that
this denial is the truth of the matter.
But what difference does it make in
the premises if every acre of land in
Terrell county is under mortgage, if it
doesn't appear that the liens are direct
Nv resultant from the dispeasary?
There are those who never drink, vet
who are compelled to give mortgages
on their property TO splice out the
wears expenses. And other men, who
drink all they want, seem TO be proc
nervous and TO have their desires salts
fed without having to resort 10 mort
gage-giving. So the statement as TO
Conditions in Terrell, whether true or
false. throws no light on the question.
The issue is one entirely for The peo-
nIe of Randolph county 10 settle. The
Countian doesn't even purpose trying

LATE, SAYS MR.. STEVENS.
Cotton and Corn Crops Are Eight Weeks
Behind.

"The outlook for the cotton and corn
crops in the state of Georgia is far from
promising"
This statement has been made by
the state commissioner OF agriculture.
Continuing he said:
O"All of the crops over the state are
from five to eight weeks behind. This
hardness is caused by the incessant
rains and the lack of sunshine which
is absolutely demanded by bot, the
cotton and corn crops.
THE Gotten crop is just at present
on the eve of being ravaged by numer-
GUS insects and worms which will ruin
the cotton stalks, in their weakened
condition, unless something gives
them strength.
The cotton plant is dependent on
sunshine for its life and strength, and
without sunshine the plant becomes
weak and is not able to resist the on
slaught of the insects.
"rhe corn outlook for the highlands
is no better, for that crop is also suf-
fering from plethora of water and
a lack of sunshine. What the farmers
of Georgia need today is sunshine and
warm weather. These cool nights
hurt the crops"

NEW political RUMoR.

The cambridge Search Light makes
an interesting contribution TO the po
litical gossip which, though this is an
s.of wear. is current in all parts OF
the state. Our Balm bridge contempt
rary says:
"A good many south Georgia papers
are engaging themselves over the idea
that Jim Griggs may run for governor
pext wear. and are somewhat concern
Cd over his successor. In our opinion
they are wasting valuable time ana
sDace that might more probably be
devoted to the consideration of the hay
crop. pea vines for fertilizing pur'
noses. etc. We do not believe that
lin Griggs will run for governor, al
though we would be willing for him TO
have it. At this time Mr.. Griggs Is
doing the people such good service In
the national assembly that they would
regret to part with him, even to be
governor of the great state of Georgia.
Mr.. Griggs can remain in congress so
long as he may desire, while II ne
should run fer governor IN all prooa
bility he would have strong opposi-
tion. as several candidates nave al
ready been groomed, as 1t were, 1or

has its eve set on some favored son to

Tt is not at all likely that Governor

most excellent official, will have oppo-
sition for denomination next year. che
