The Herald, in a leading editoria

The Herald, in leading editorial,
again informs the County Commits
sioners that it is a Democratic paper.
If the Commissioners do not know
this fact this last explanation ought
to make it as plain as the school
boy did, who drew a long cared ami
NAL on his slate and wrote under
meath; This is a Jackass." Our
sympathies are with the Herald, and
we have given up the idea of maxi
ing any special effort towards edu-
eating the commissioners as to the
nature of our politics, but hereafter
will cover their shortcomings with
our broad mantle of political charity
which contains no benzoate.

PLEA FOR MORE FEED CROPS.
An Abundance Means the Raising Of
Stock That viii Make Farmer
independent

The Farmers Union News of Geor.
gla gives some sound advice to its
readers along lines for raising forage
and feed crops, and as what Is good
for Georgia is good for Texas It Is
published in the Co-Operator for the
benefit of diversifiers in the union and
out:
ANY farm in the south can be made
to grow two crops of hay during the
year; one CROP in winter and one In
summer. On the Piedmont lands,
oats, rye, barley, wheat and crimson
clover will make excellent winter
pastures and furnish a spring cutting
of hay. OF these crops there is per-
haps the most money In oats. Oats
usually make better winter pasture
and furnish more hay for the spring
cutting than the other crops Good
crops in this section for summer pas
lures are the COW peas, sorghum, soy
bean and Bermuda grass. Along the
coastal plain or sandy lands, oats and
vetch give excellent winter pastures
and spring hay crops, and the COW
pea, soy bean, peanut and sorghum.
In the extreme south the velvet bean
will furnish an abundance of hay or
pasture during summer
TO get the best results from these
crops keep enough COWS and hogs to
harvest the summer crops Of pea
vines, and sorghum, peanuts, etc, in
the fall fattening their stock for mar
ket. Enough hay must be saved
either in the spring or fall to keep the
breeding stock over winter.
'Let us begin now to make stock
feed, continue next summer to make
stock feed Double your efforts next
fall to secure sufficient food for your
cattle, horses and hogs. Put forth
every effort in winter to have all the
good, sweet, digestible hay that your
stock can use. An abundance of good
feed means good stock and the man
who owns an abundance of good
stock aud plenty to feed them on is in

He picked up the baby, he hoped,
just as if picking babies up were an
everyday occurrence. In point of fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that cats,
when lifted, like to be supported with
a hand held underneath, and he
thought that this principle would work
out with babies, and II did. And hav-
ing awakened Louise, he handed her

could help rear any number of chill

Looking for Better Cotton.

Next to corn, cotton is one of the
most important crops to the entire
country. 1t is valuable and important,
chiefly because 1t is essentially a
money crop, bringing into the south
ready cash for all classes of business.
The value of the cotton crop from sea-
son to season will run between $780,
100000 and $780, 100000
There has been no general awaken.
ing in the matter of producing high
grade cottonseed such as has occurred
in connection with the production of
corn. Here and there throughout the
south, however, are individual farmers
who have been for years making a
special effort to improve their types of
cotton. These men have been quite
successful, and have developed for
their own use and for dissemination
among their neighbors cottonseed
very much superior to that ordinarily
used.
This crop is grown over such wide
extent Of territory, and the soil and
climatic conditions are so varied, that
many sorts will have to be produced
in order to meet the requirements for
the highest production. -.
The NATIONAL department Of agricul
ture and the, state agricultural depart
ments and stations are endeavoring to
educate the cotton-growers in the mat
ter Of improving their types of cotton
by seed selection similar to that out
lined for the production of high-grade
corn. Cotton is more amenable to i'm
provement than almost any other
crop. BY few years Of judicious Sc
lection the yield can be not only in.

: Ideal Seed Corn.

At this time of the year all corn
growers will be interested in good
seed. When one selects corn hee should
be able to really know a good ear. of
corn when he sees 1t. The following
description should enable the careful
observer to make good selections:
Authorities hays decided that the
best form for an ideal ear should be
as near cylinder as possible. It
should be about ten inches long. and
about seven, inches In circumference,
or at least this ratio should be as near
parallel as possible. and the grains
should grow well over the tip and
butt. The grains should be wedge
shape, and their length should be at
least twice their width. The cob
should be small, from "a to 80 per
cent. of an ear OF corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red, and in white corn 1t should be
white. If one desires his corn to
have high protein contents the germ
of heart should be large. If meal is
to be made the white or starchy end
should be large. The grains should
be firm on the cob. and the ear should
be firm, solid and heavy. The grains
of the dent varieties will be more or
less wrinkled on the outer tip, other
wise the surface of the ear should be
smooth and glossy. A dead color
usually indicates low vitality.
