Intensive Farming Pays.


In addition to his work Of selling
Singer sewing machines, being one
of the most successful agents in the
employment of the company, our
friend Luther G.. Quarles finds time
to make money farming. he has
eight acres of cotton from which ne
will gather ten bales, which is bet
ter than the average one-horse farm
does where the full time and atten-
tion of the owner is given to it.
Never mind, ,people will finally lear n
that intensive farming is the only
system, by. which both ends can
be made to meet.

VIII "Fatten" His Land.

Mr.. s. E. Morgan has the right
idea about rotation and soil improve
ment. Instead Of moving all of his
peas for hay, Mr.. Morgan has ten
acre field under wire fence on which
he will pasture and fatten his hogs,
and then turn the vines under, as he
says, to 'fatten" his land. Would
that more farmers would deliberate
ly plan every year to "fatten' their
land, instead of leaving it poorer
and poorer at the end of each year.

Climbed to Front Rank.

If you have corn to buy (not the
liquid kind), go to Mr.. Pierce Ste
vens. Ie has climbed this year up
into the front rank of the corn
growers of the county. When the
writer saw him several weeks ago
he was in the greatest glee of his
life, exulting over the fact that re-
siding midway between the two
crack" farmers of the county, w.
T. Walton and B. r. Smith, ne has
beat them both making corn this
year. Farmer Stevens says he is
going to sell Farmer Smith his seed
corn next year.

Some time last, spring our jovial
friend Pierce Stevens intimated
that he was going to see to it that a
missionary was sent to Edgefeld,
the Baptist church having failed to
call pastor promptly. Now that
EdgeGeld has another pastorless
church, and still another temporari-
ly closed because of the illness of
the pastor, our friend will doubtlass
think the need is more imperative
than formerly. Better send him OF

HOW DAY ENDS IN DESERT
When the Sun sets the coIors In the
Sky and Earth Are Almost Too
Beautiful for Description.

A fitting close to day of songbirds
and flowers is a desert sunset The
Calico mountains to the north first an
nounce the days decline Late In the
afternoon its rents and gashes become
masses OF purple shadow, strikingly
outlined by the exposed sunlit stretches
which are gradually absorbed until the
whole mountain is dull and llfeless.
When the sun is low, the rugged range
to the southwest is tinged with a rosy
glow varying from dull pink to
deep rose, into which a. purple hue
gradually blends till 1t subdues all the
brightness and the purple, In turn,
changes to blue. AS the sun sinks out
of sight the light clouds in the east be-
come softly pink. the color spreading
around to the north, and finally center
ing in the west, where the clouds are
masses of FURNISHED gold, which merge
into brilliant rose color. Sometimes
between the bright clouds and the
horizon is stretch of delicate green,
with a hint of yellow light shining
through; and always, In living over
desert sunset, you will see the soft cir
cling flight of the nighthawk skimming
over the ground and hear the low call
of the dove. When the brightness has
faded and the blue has crept in and
banished the red you draw a deep
breath and feel yourself part Of the
peace and quiet of the sky. You begin
N understand the lure Of the desert.
You feel as If body and soul had al

suddenly been set free in this i'm
