The Editor of this Department will
appreciate articles from our own peo-
pie on any OF the many important
phases of farm management. we
have some as successful farmers in
Watchman and Southron territory as
are to be found anywhere. (also some
as complete failures) and something
from home folks would carry weight
that the clippings do not have. The
country correspondence is what
makes a county paper valuable. So
let home talent help fill the columns
Of this Department.
