large for using a harrow, the best
work can be done with a light side
harrow or with cultivator having
from five to seven teeth and running
not more than two inches deep.
Whatever system may be adopted,
the cultivation should be frequent

KEEP THE LAND OCCUPIED.

A soil unoccupied loses fertility
faster than in growing a crop. To
prevent this the soil must be given
something to do. Just as soon as one
crop is harvested another should take
it's place. Every foot of land not
growing some other crop by the mid
die of June or first of July should be
put to producing legume for hay or
grazing. 1t will be good for both
soil and farm. Peas, soy beans, vel
vet beans, peanuts and many others
afford a sufficient list from which
something suitable for any and all
soils may be Standardization Jour

A large part of Texas has been
blessed with copious rains lately and,
save in few exceptional commune
ties, crop prospects generally are ex-
ceedingly good. There are few dry
districts where the rainfall has not
yet been sufficient to bring crops to
their normal condition at this sea-
son, but, taken as a whole, Texas
should produce at least an average
crop of nearly all products this year
except peaches, which promise to be
exceedingly short in the East Texas

CORN CULTURE AND CARE.

partment of Agriculture on Corn
Culture" we make the following con-
densation. 1t is full of information
that can be thoroughly studied for
valuable use in the next corn crop:
Any soil producing a good crop
of cotton will produce good corn,
although dry upland clay soils are not
so we'll suited to corn as those which
are richer in decayed vegetable mat
ter and so suffer less from drought.
The best soil for corn is rich, sandy
loan, which is we'll drained and con-
tains fair amount of humus. One
of the best soils for corn is one on
which red clover has been grown.
Any land which has made good crops
of hay will make good crops of corn
Immediately after the sod has been
plowed. Fall blowing for corn is sell
dom good practice, except on new
ground, where a tough sod must be
rotted. 1t is not a good practice to
leave the bare soil exposed to the
teaching and washing of the winter
rain. For this reason, when tough
sod land is to be planted in corn, it is
usually better to pillow in the preced-
ing spring or early summer and SOW
in peas, as the peas will rot and mel
low the sod better than any other
crop which can be grown, and corn
seldom fails to make a heavy yield
on land treated in that manner. The
blowing should be deep and thor
ough. Lands which are sufficiently
rolling to allow the surface water to
run off quickly should be plowed fiat,
while creek and river bottom lands
on which water is liable to stand
after heavy rains will do better when
plowed in beds. Bedding requires
more labor than blowing fiat, has no
advantages, and has many disadvan-
tages on well-drained lands, and
should never be practiced where it
can be avoided. Narrowing should
be as thorough as blowing, and the
harrow should follow the pillow very
closely in order to pulverize the soil
before it becomes cloddy, and if the
land is not planted Immediately the
harrow should be used again just be-
fore planting to kill the terminating
weed seeds. The labor expended in
a thorough preparation of the soil
shows it's effects through the whole
season in the better stand which will
be secured. in less amount of labor
needed in cultivation and the in
creased yield.
ROtatiOns.-A crop of cotton occu-
pies the land during the entire year
and is a poor preparatory crop for
corn, but here it is made the princi-
pal crop, corn must sometimes follow
it, and the best rotation must depend
on the proportionate areas which are
given to each of the two crops.
Where two-thirds or more of the
land is used for cotton, with no per-
manent hay fields, a common rotation
is: First year, cotton; second year,
corn and cowpeas and winter oats
and vetch; third year. cotton. This

What Our Farmers Are Doing and Saving

Resolutions passed by the Jeffer-
son County Farmers Union:
Whereas, We believe that it is
and will be for the best interest of
the cause of education in the State
OF Georgia that this State furnish
school books free to the children in
the public schools; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we ask our
Representative, Mr. r. N. Harde-
man, to do all in his power to have
bill enacted into law at the coming
session of the State Legislature that
will give free text books in the pub
lie common schools of this State.
Whereas, It has come to our
knowledge that the Atlanta Consti-
tuition and the Automobile Associa-
ton are doing all in their power to
have the Legislature at the coming
session to make an appropriation of
the States money for the purpose of
building automobile roads across or
within this State; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we ask our
representative, Mr.. r. N. Hardeman,
to fight to the uttermost any such
appropriation of the States money;
for the farmers of this State pay
great part of the taxes of the State
and for that reason the money is
theirs and should not be spent upon
roads for the use of the AUTOMOBILE
lists, but to improve the schools.
Passed at regular session of the
Jefferson County Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America, June 5, 1909.
JNO. F. CARSWELL,
Copy County Secretary.
Be it RESOLVED, That we here
by notify the Board of Roads and
Revenue of this County that we, the
Farmers Union of Jefferson County,
do not favor their using in any way
the funds of this County to build or
aid in the building of road or roads
for automobiles. We therefore re-
specially ask that they do not use
our tax moneys in any such way, but
that the board use as much economy
as possible and get this County out
of debt.
Passed at regular session of the
Farmers Union of Jefferson County
this the 9Th day of June, 1909.
JNO. F. CARSWELL,
Copy County Secretary.
Be it RESOLVED, That we re-
gard the contracting for cotton for
future delivery a violation of both
the civil and moral laws. Therefore
we condemn the one that buys and
the one that sells for future deliv-
cry. We want to brand them alike
as traitors of their country, as aiders
of the gamblers in cotton, and as de-
spoilers of the interests of the farm
ers.

ty this the 9Th day of June, 1909.

again. w. G. Stubs, of Louisiana,
recommends the following rotation
for that state: Corn and cowpeas, oats
and cowpeas, cotton. E. r. Lloyd,
of Mississippi, in speaking of the up
land lime soil of that state, says:
If only one-half the land is to be
in cotton and the other half grown in
corn, would fertilize the cotton the
first year with $50 pounds each of
cotton-seed meal and kainit and
would plant cowpeas in the corn at
the last cultivation. The second year
would plant cowpeas in the corn at the
and fertilize with 100 pounds of
cotton-seed meal and 200 pounds of
kainit, planting corn and cowpeas on
the cotton land of the previous year.
The third year | would plant cotton
on the corn land and fertilize with
200 pounds of kainit. | would con-
tinue that alteration, using less
commercial fertilizer and no meal
after the second year, as the cowpeas,
if plowed under, will maintain the
fertility of the soil.
Planting.-Whether corn should
be planted fiat or on raised beds will
depend on whether the land has good,
natural drainage or is liable to suffer
from overfows. With good drainage
the fiat planting is much better, be-
cause preparation is less expensive
and because it exposes less surface
for the evaporation of soil moisture
and thus makes the crop less liable
to suffer from drouth. Whatever
method of planting may be adopted,
the work should not begin too early
in the season. Nothing is gained by
putting seed in a soil which is too wet
or too cold for termination.
Cultivation.-Then nearer level and
smooth the surface of the ground can
be kept, the better. Thorough Gull
tivation is needed, but that does not
mean deep cultivation. While corn
does best on soil which is deep and
loose, the deepening and loosening
of the lower soil should be done
before the corn is planted, and
the shallower the latter cultiva-
ton can be kept the more satisfac-
tory will be the results. Cultivate the
ground deeply before planting and as
shallow as possible afterward Guilt
walton should begin Immediately after
the first rain that follows the plant
ing There is no better implement
for this work than light smoothing
harrow with slender teeth pointing
backward. Cultivation should follow
each rain to prevent the formation of
a crust and to kill weeds as soon as
they terminate, and the harrow or
weeder is the best implement to use
until the corn is at least six inches
high. 1t is true that the later har-
rOwings will leave the corn looking
somewhat torn and ragged, but it
will recover quickly, and no perma-
nent injury will result. The corn
should be hoed and thinned to the
proper number of stalks when it is
from four to six inches high, as it

YOUR HOME BANK
IT PAYS.

Did you ever think why it
pays? There are many good rea-
sons. Yon may want to borrow
money some day and would
rather ask your home banker for
a loan than go to a bank in a
neighboring town. You, however,
hate TO ask him for a loan if you
had not been keeping your money
on deposit with him when you
had money to deposit. He nat
urally cares for his own deposit
ors first when they are in need
of funds. You can not blame him
for that.
He is interested in building up
your home town and so are you,
especially if you own property
there.
Back him up when ever you
can. 1t Pays to be a Booster.
You can Boost a little by
keeping your money on deposit
with your home bank, and
as long as you know as
much or more about the condit-
ion of your home bank as you
know of the condition of the
bank, you have been patronizing,
you will find it more convenient
and just as safe to keep it at
home.
The fact that it is a small bank
IS an argument in it's favor. It is
not so hard to know all about it.
If you know your home banker
and his associates to be honor
able and reliable in their business
dealings, stay with them.
1t is good business for YOU to
do so.
