Prof. Massey's Views

and the young men of the Corn
Clubs will take their places, for
they, too, have seen a vision and are
not going to go backwards: The
new South is coming, the South of
fine homes and fertile lands. The
papers are helping, and the in
stitutes are helping, but the great
help is coming from showing men
by demonstrations on their own
land what can be done. The Corn
Club boys have been great demon
strators, and the fact that greater
crops Of corn al be grown in the
South than anywhere else has open
ed the eyes of thousands to the fact
that their land only needs building
Up to make it equal to any III the
country, and that through practic-
ing a good rotation that will bring
back the wasted humus. the land
can be made to pay for its develop
ment while the crops grow larger
year after year.
I have been trying to preach the
gospel of good farming for many
years. and I am thankful that |
have had some influence in carry
ing forward the work, though |
shall never live to see it's full frui-
ton. But there are thousands Of
men growing up who will carry on
the work until the South is as fam
Gus for productive farms as she
has been for worn and wasted ones
and there will be no more "old
fields waving in broomsedge, nc
brush and brabmle patches to
break up fields into fragments.
and no gullies but old ones
! stopped. and the farmer who
gets only a bale an acre will
feel that he has made a
failure in cotton. This will be
be brought about by good farming
and never by the all-cotton met
who will not read nor study their
profession, and the all-cotton MAJ
will disappear from the South
along with the "supply'
stores that sell him Northern hay
and meat. For when that day
comes there will be plenty Of corr
and oats and hay, pigs and beef ano
sheep on every farm. Let us al
do our utmost to hasten it's coming

In selecting seed from a prolihc

When should cabage seed be
sown for late winter cabbages IN
Piedmont North Carolina?' Sow
the cabbage seed in late July and

to have the cabbages heading about
the first Of December. Then turn

As Mr.. Niven says, too many
peo'e plant a garden in the spring
and that is the end Of it. As
have often said, l make my garden
an all-the-year-round garden. and
there is not a day in the year when
we are not getting some green
vegetables from it. As fast as ar
early crop is removed ! get some
thing in its place either for late
summer or fall and later for winter
use. Intensive manuring and in
tensive planting and cultivation pay
better III a garden than on any
other part Of the farm, and fresh
vegetables all the year round are
easily had in the South if the
farmer Will but make an intelligent
effort.

should be sold as soon as ripe as it
is not a good keeper.
The finest onions grown. the
Denia and Giant Gibraltar. belong
to the Spanish class. The best
representative of this class that we
have is the onion known as the
Prizetaker. This can easily be
grown to weigh a pound or more to
the bulb. Several methods are
used in the production of the Prize
taker. From southern Maryland
southwark the seed can be sown in
September and the plants trans
planted when the size Of a goose

to SOW the seed in a frame under
glass in early February and trans
plant them to the open ground
later, or after hard frosts are over.
The transplanting method is best
suited to the Spanish and Italian
varieties. None of these are GOOD
keepers and must be sold rapidly
In lifting ripe onions | always

pletely cured and tops dry | store
them in a dark place. With the

If YOU will but inquire-why do you

The reasons why Stuarts Dyspep

remedy are very easy to understand.
These tablets contain almos the
same elements as the gastric juices
of the stomach. And when your
stomach is sick and not working
just right, it does not give out
enough of the natural digestive
juices to properly take care Of the
food you eat. So IL you will only
give the stomach little help by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet

stomach of its chief duty and allow
it the rest it needs to recuperate.

food or in your stomach after you
