FARMING SUGGESTIONS

Assuming your land is sufficient
~ drained and has fertility enough
to justify you in planting it with
crops, then only four things on
your part are needed for a good
yield.
First-Careful and deep prepa-
ration. Deep blowing and harrow
ings, if well done. will give this.
Standardization of good seed.
This means not only seed of good
varieties, but also seed eff strong
vitality, so that you will be reason
ably sure that the seed you plant
will terminate and grow into
strong stalks. Care in seed selec-
ton is very important with every
crop you plant.
Third-Spacing of plants. Prop
or spacing by width between rows
and distance between plants in
rows, should be in accord with the
soil you cultivate. This requires
close attention, as a slight differ
ence in strength of soil will make
quite a difference in spacing.
Fourth-Carful and shallow
cultivation. Cultivation should be
shallow aud rapid. Shallow, be-
cause deep blowing cuts and
breaks the young roots and ser
ously Injuries the crops. If you dt
not know how the long roots Of
cotton and corn grow, then fine
out, and you will agree on shallow
cultivation. When your neighbo'
has plowed deep and still made
fair yield, this was in spite of thu
deep cultivation, and had he plowet
shallow and so protected roots, tn
yield would have been larger
Rapid cultivation, because tn
more you pillow your crop the bet
ter the yield; also rapid cultlva
ton enables you to get over crol
when soil is in best condition an
thus you hasten growth. Don
wait for grass to grow. Do you
full duty before grass grows an
you can keep crop clean. Ever
: sprig Of grass and every wee
: takes moisture and substance fro1
the soil that should be used b
I your crops, and by proper cultiv;
I ton you can prevent this.
In the game of farming we mu'
use our heads. Think out why 20
do this or that on your farm, an
i in this way you will know th
reason for things and then you nj
! know just what is best for 20.

fD,fiON" POSTPONED.

Tt has been the custom OF Inc
Commonwealth for the past few
years to edit an Easter Edition just
preparatory to the spring openings
of our progressive merchants, and
in the past every edition has been
literally patronized by the best
citizenry inthe state. Advertisements
inserted in our Easter and Holiday
Edition have always proven produc-
tive of great results.
This season, however, We are 60
ing to postpone our regular Easter
Edition, Owing to the fact that
just at present there are SO many
advertising schemes, all OF which
deserve consideration, and that our
liberal merchants are being a little
rushed with solicitation OF adVer-
t1sments, we are going to omit our

ed to impose upon a clienteiethat has
atall times evidenced hearty response
to every call for advertisements but
are going to await the summer
when there is more need OF atten,

values offered at that season.
And then, too, the agriculture
feature of this number will be most
timely. It will contain timely ar
ticles from able writer's among oul
most successful planters. Special
stories will appear from u state
experts. Full attention will be Civ

in Greenwood, and the edition prom
ises unusual publicity for this sec.

Man Breaks Leg
 Then Gets Robbed

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction; like pathos is sometimes min gled with humor, but last night there was an occurrence in the back yard of "a Yuma saloon; that was both.
 A man by the name of O'Rourke, started out into the back yard of a saloon. He was more or less under the influence and in groping his way around in the dark he fell over bar rel. Ordinarily this would have been just fall. nothing more.
 But O'Rourke was in bad luck, and the slight fall broke his limb just above the ankle.
 Immediately his luck changed, but it got worse.
 He called for help. A man respond ed to his yells, and he asked to be as- sisted back into the bar.
 Instead the man hit him under the jaw with right hook that put him out of business completely, and then calm ly went through his pockets, relieving him of his small change.
 After awhile he was found by some friends of his and given aid.
 County Physician Dr. R. R. Knotts was called and ordered the man taken to the hospital, where he was attend. ed to and is resting as easily as could be expected this afternoon.
 At the hospital today he could give no description of his assailant.

TO CALOMEL USERS.
Calomel Is Form of Mercury, and

ble-Ask Your Doctor.

Any physician will tell you that
mercury, if it remains in the body,
will soften and rot the bones, a dis
ease doctors call necrosis of the
bones. Calomel is form of mercury,
and to keep clear of danger it's a
safe plan to take no calomel at all,
especially as there is better rene
dy.
Both children and grown people
will find a perfect substitute for
calomel in Dodson's Liver Tone, a
pleasant, vegetable tonic that Undue

has any bad after-effects. In fact
Dodson's Liver Tone will do every
thing that calomel does without any
of the dangers of calomel. A large

TO MOVE AN ENTIRE

Six Hundred People of Dragon, Col.
Will Follow Railroad Shops.

Grand Junction, Colo, August %.
The entire town of Dragon is to
be moved twelve miles as the result
of the completion of the Unitah rail-
way.
Dragon, now boasting 500 inhabit-
ants, will be moved bodily in flat
cars to Temple, which will be the
new town. Houses, railroad shops,
stores and all are to be transported
The cost will run into thousands of
dollars, but the railroad officials
claim that it will be cheaper in the
end to have their facilities at Tenn
pie.
The Dragon people are opposing
the move, but if the railroad shops
and roundhouses are removed, the
rest of the city will follow suit. Ne
gotiations are now in progress for
the removal of the roundhouses and
other equipment. The new town site
is in Utah and Dragon will no longer
be a postoffice in Colorado.
