As we near the close of the
school term, there is as usual a
tendency among pupils to 'let
down" In their work. At the same
time there may be feeling among
teachers as well that there is little
use to make special effort during
the closing days. This is not the
proper spirit, for the winner In any
race is the one who is found doing
his best on the last "stretch. .
To win success, we must not in
any part of our careers play the
part Of sluggards. The boy who
rises to the top seemingly with lit
tie or no effort on his part, is the
one who while others slept. was

pared for the next step in his edu-
cational development. It matters

bushels per acre. There is no rea-

There Is a natural tendency
among the young to read cheap,
sensational, vulgar stories which
are published In book form and are
scattered to all parts of the earth,
1t is ignorance rather than sign
of depravity that causes parents to
tolerate the reading by their chill
dren of such books as Jesse
James" Diamond Dick, /"
"Peck's Bad Boy" "The Mrs.
Guinness Mystery" and thousands
of other books with which our
homes are flooded. Children are
allowed to read such literature and
their parents wonder why it is that
their boys lead reckless, depraved
lives and are anxious to get away
to the large town or city where
their acquired craving for the sem
sational can be satisfied. They
drift away from home before they
have reached maturity and in many
cases every influence for good re-
linquishes its grasp upon them.
They associate with companions
who if not depraved themselves
have no interest in the moral well
being of a stranger. As his des-
tiny depends upon the course he
pursues, the boy at last finds HIM
self in a place and condition which
would have startled him to con-
template at the beginning of his
career.
Keep religious books and pa
pers in the home, few standard
works of literature, and a few
novels of standard authors, teach
the girls music, engage with the
children in the harmless indoor
and out door games, and by all
means make the home more than
place for eating and sleeping,
and the boys and girls will grow
up to love. the quiet, unsensation-
al, wholesome life which such sur
roundings bring.

credit princely profits
added to the price of high priced
bacon, lard, corn, mules, and other
products that we cannot afford to
accept as free gifts. Oh what ter
rible sufferings and disappoint-
ments come to the hearts of these
over-worked wives and children
when at the end of each year they
fall far short of the necessities and
are denied the luxuries of life.
This is a disgrace to our civiliza-
tion.
Now let us not blame the merch-
ants. We deserve all of the CEN
sure. The too exclusive culture
of cotton has forced the price far
below an equitable one and estab-
lished the credit system AS long
as we raised everything necessary
for home consumption aud some to
spare, there was no necessity for
the credit system. The too ex-
elusive culture of cotton marked
dawning of the era of the supply

WHEAT GROWING IN THE
SOUTH.

Wheat is grown primarily for
human consumption. 1t is seldom
used for stock feeding. 1t requires
very fertile soil for its best
growth. Rich clays and heavy
loans, when well drained, give the
heaviest yields, though good re-
suits may be obtained on lighter
soils When.sthey are in a-proper
condition. Calcareous soils are
considered good wheat lands.
Wheat does best when sown af-
ter a crop of cowpeas. Pea stub
BILE or the stubble of any of the
legumes turned under prepares the
soil for wheat, since all these crops
leave the soil richer in nitrogen,
besides adding humus to it.
The soil ought to be thoroughly
broken for about 4 or S inches deep
and full of vegetable matter. A
firm seedbed, the upper 8 or q inch
es of which is mellow and Is in
good tilth, is of much Importance.
The experiment stations recon-
mend either soft or semi. hard
wheat for the South. The leading
varieties seem to be Fultz, Fulcas-
ter, Red May. Carroll, Prolific,
Rice, Everetts High Grade, and
Purple Straw.
The amount of seed to sow varies
with number of factors. IF the
seeding is done early in the fall
and weather conditions are favor
able, the plants will stool better
and less seed will be required.
Again bushel of small-grained
wheat may contain two or three
times as many kernels as the same
amount of large-grained wheat,
and hence furnish or 8 times as
many plants. However, about six
pecks per acre will generally give
the best results.
The time for planting wheat In
this State Is from the middle OF
October to the middle of Novem-
Der. The aim in any locality is to
give the plants good start before
freezing weather sets in.
Where the soil responds to com.
merical fertilizers, the following
applications may be made to good
advantage At seeding time zoe
pounds of acid phosphate and 35c
pounds of cottonseed meal per acre
