corn or bale of cotton per acre an
d now l am going to add some con-
veniences to my home such as telep
hne, water works, etc. said a Cleve-
land county Farmers Union man tn
e other day. By a we'll devised sys-
tenn of rotation, sowing soil improvln
g crops and deep plowing it does not
take many years to bring land up to
a degree of fertility that will produce
fifty bushels of corn or a bale OF cOtt
on per acre and no farmer shOulds be
satisfied with less yield than this. L
he secret of success is soil improve
ment. The wise farmer makes his m
Oney by investments in the soil, by
spending money to improve the soil.
Some young farmers who have
adopted the new way are making as
much corn on two acres as their fath7
erS made on a twO-hOrSe farm. BY all
means spend your money to improve
your sol! and keep on spending it Il

Mr.. H H Powell, who had heard
much tell of the fine crops in this
county, took a trip by buggy last week
to see them for himself. He is en-
thusiastc over the prospects and says
there are some of the finest crops in
Lee COUNTY that he has ever seen.
This is saying a great deal as Mr..
Powell has lived in some of the best
farming sections of the State. He
thinkSi it worth any mans time TO take
a trip over the county and see these
splendid crops. He VIII be convinced
of what the county is capable of pro-
ducing in the way Of cotton and corn
and other crops. There are num-
Der of farmers in this county who
calculate on making from so to rs
bushels of con to the acre and from
one to two bales Of cotton to the acre.
This is good farming and far above
the average in yield We have met
people who We're of the opinion that
this was poor farming section This
is a mistake. If intelligently worked
the lands in Lee county are capable
