CONDEMNS ALL BAD METHODS
Cause of So Many Worn-Out Farms in South Is Running Land for
 Many Years in Cotton.

Ten years ago, in this locality, farmers only had to plant, but now they are facing different problem As we view this country now we see farms that, ten years ago were ma- king fine yields, most worthless-cut to pieces by ditches and as red as sugar beet
 The cause of so many worn n-out farms in the south is running the land so long in cotton. Now, let's see if we can prove this. In order to make a good cotton crop we must keep down the weeds and cultivate the cotton until at least August 12, writes w. C. Martin in Farm and Ranch. Then there is nothing on the land but the cotton stalks, nothing to fertilize the land, no turf of any kind to hold the soil; therefore, the winter and spring rains carry good portion of it off each year
 Now, let us look at the farms where the land is changed each year from one crop to another. l noticed a neighbor who two years ago planted
 
 were harvested he planted June corn in four-foot rows and sowed cow peas between the rows. He got a good crop of oats and June corn and had fine fall pasture for his horses and cattle. The land was then plowed and last spring planted to cotton, which, in the face of the drought, made more than one-half bale per acre. Land just across the road which had been planted in cotton for five years only made bale to seven acres.
 Now, you say you must plant cot ton for money crop. My neighbor found market, and a good one, for his oats, June corn and peas.
 It took less than one-third the work to raise them than would have been required in making a cotton crop.
 As soon as the cotton man strikes the last lick with the hoe he must pick up his sack, so there is no rest for him or his land, while the man who changes his crops, as well as his mind, finds his land in just as good condition, If not better.
 The man who farms cotton some times has to borrow money to pay his taxes. 1 have tried several different crops on poor land, but find none that will compare with stock peas in bringing land back to life that has been run down by cotton.
 My idea is that cotton farmers have for many years been dreaming. They should now wake up and revive their farms.

ObviousIy.

A Denver man who visited the mu- scum at City Park recently tells of a farmer he saw there. The ruralist stepped in front of a portrait which showed a man sitting in a high-backed chair. There was a small white card on the picture reading:
 "A portrait of E. H. Smith, by him. self''
 The farmer read the card and then chuckled to himself.
 Regular fools these city fellers are, ) he said Anybody who looks at that picture d know Smiths by himself. They ain't no one in the paintin with him. .''--Cincinnati Post.

dating back to the year 1000 B. c. have been unearthed in a field. The investigators have found rows of stones and fragments of urns SUD- posed to mark the site of prehistoric burial ground. By means of these dis coveries and others elsewhere in the district surrounding Berlin the scien- lists expect to establish that this is the home of the Semnones, the earli- est forerunners of the German race. The site of the discovery lies between Potsdam and Saarmund. but the exact location is kept secret in order that the work may proceed unhindered.
