20 Per Cent Reduction

The Overland's success is also due to
its price. No other maker ever gave near
ly so much for the money.
Yet we have cut our costs this year
about 20 per cent through enormous in
crease in production.
The Overland we sell for $1,000 this year
is better than the $i,250 Overland last
year. 1t is a % H. p. car with a speed
of 30 miles an hour.
So with the 81 ,250. $ .400 and $500 Over
lands. Each offers a fifth more than ever
before for the money.
All prices include Magnetic and full
euuipmant.

Markham Gives Planters Advice.

GlVeS Planters AuViCS.
l.. A. Markham, special agent OF the
United States department of agriculture,
in charge of experimental farm work IN
the Delta, is sending out the following
letter to demonstrators in his district:
Dear Sir-Before planting time, at
tend to all poorly drained parts OF the
field. Try making your lateral bitches
with a road machine and drag scrapers.
Make the ditch shallow and compare
lively broad so that the pillow team can
be driven across it, and the water can
flow freely into it. Prepare the land
thoughly. The corn land should have
been broken deep last fall, but deep
breaking at this time is not advisable.
Harrow the land until it is thoroughly
pulverized; then plant the corn on ridges
unless it is unusually well drained. DO
not plart in the water furrow on any
kind of land at this time of the year.
In bedding for cotton, be sure and do
not make the ows too narrow. Inc
best rule, perhaps, is to lay OFF the rows
about as wide as the cotton stalks grow
tail. Inns VIII prevent eHe
of the plants in the middles and the
consequent shutting out of the vitallzlng
sunshine. Plant the best seed of both
cotton and corn-seed that is known to
be sound, and of the best variety pro-
durable. If your stock of seed is Begin
ming to run down. it will pay you to
purchase a few bushels of pure seed to
plant a breeding patch. This should be
large enough to furnish sufficient seed to
plant the entire plantation next year.
The most intimate of relations subslst
between the plant and the seed it springs
from, and no amount of work or expense
can produce the best results from poor
seed. There is no particular variety OF
corn or cotton that possesses all the
merits, but there are IA few varieties
that nave so much in their favor that L
desire to make special mention of them.
Those of cotton are the Cleveland Big
Boil, Mebane Triumph, Simpkins' Pro
life and Columbia"

Expects Big Crops.

Col. Leroy Taylor, chairman of the
penitentiary board of trustees, reports
that planting preparations are well adj
vanced at all the state farms, and even
with the adverse working weather, the
condition of the ground is ahead of last
year at this time by considerable, and
there is nothing that can prevent, so far
as human understanding can f~oresee, the
turning out of a magnificent crop of
corn, giving all that the state will need,
and probably an excess to dispose of as a
marketable commodity.

The Simple Car

The success of the Overland is mainly
due to its amazing simplicity. A 10-year-
old child can master the car in five min
utes. Push a pedal forward to go ahead.
and backward to reverse. Push another
pedal for high speed. There is nothing
else to do but steer.
Any man with the simplest instruc-
tons, can run an Overland q thousand
miles and back.
There was never a car so easy to care
for-so easy to keep in order.

The pigs are taught to come to this
