Delay Complaining

There never was time when the
seed-corn situation was more serious
than it is this spring. A large am
cunt of weak seed-com is sure to
be used this year; and, if such seed
finds it's way to cold, half-prepared
seed-bed, a considerable portion of
this weak seed will not terminate.
On the other hand, if time is TAX
en- to put the seed-bed in thorough
ly-prepared condition, the delay of
few days, or even week, will do a
great deal to assist the termination
of weak seed. Most farmers know
very we'll how. weak seed-corn has
terminated when used for fodder
corn. This apparent difference in
the terminating power can be attrib-
uted only to the much better condi-
ton of the seed-bed in which it is
planted. Where seed corn must be
used that is known to be slightly
weak in vitality, it would seem wise
to delay planting a week or more,
and to employ this delay in a better
preparation of the seed-bed.
Again, the acreage of corn is sure
to be reduced to a marked degree
through the scarcity Of seed; but no
one can estimate the loss and the
hardship if a late frost should catch
the nicely-started corn crop. In view
Of the known condition as to seed
and the ever-present possibility Of a
frost, don't be in a hurry to plant
corn this spring.-O. NJ. Olson, Ex-
tension Div. MINI. Col. of Ayr. ,

Efforts to prejudice Georgia farmers

chairman Of the house committee on
agriculture, is the meanest kind of
underhand politics.
1t is an attempt at deception. 1t
is founded on a fundamental untruth.
Bringing such an issue into this cam

responsible. 1t is all the result of
petty, personal pique, and the whole

ROAD TAX IN RANDOLPH
MIR. Phillips Says He Was Slightly
Misunderstood. Only Threat
ening Not to Pay.

ening Not to Pay.
CUTHBERT, Ga, April 41.-Edi-
tor Dawson News: My attention has
been called to an item which appear
ed in your paper about two weeks
ago, in which | was quoted as report
ing that the people of Randolph
county were kicking and refusing to
pay their road tax" or words to that
effect. There was a little error in
the wording of the item in question,
which | noticed when | first saw it,
but the error was SO slight that |
hardly thought it worth while to ask
you to correct it. | was in Dawson
on business (between trains) and
dropped into The News office just for
moment when on my way to the
depot. In the hurried conversation
with the editor | told him that there
Is lot of dissatisfaction here-frst,
because of the condition of our roads.
and second, because of he high rate
OF tax. | also stated that a lot of
people were threatening to kidk out
and refuse to pay the tax unless they
can be assured that the roads will be
put in better condition. But in MAX
ing an item Of it CLEARLY through
mistake or from having misunder-
stood me- there was left out the
word Threatening" and it was made
to appear that a lot of people had
already refused to pay the tax. 1t
is hard to tell whether | or the re-
porter was to blame for this Slight
error. Perhaps l (being in hurry
did not make myself fully under
stood, but if the editor made the
error | can Vouch for it being an err
ror, for | know him well enough to
know that he would not misquote
anyone in making up a news item
for his paper.
The article was copied by both the
Cuthbert papers, and some people in
the county have undertaken to make
Dig ''scarecroW'' of it, and have ac-
cused me of running down" my own
section and people, [ will say that
there is not a man in the county, who
knows the conditions here and who
knows me, that can't see at a glance
that the whole matter is only an er-
ror and no harm was intended.
l did say and | say now that there
is a great deal of dissatisfaction here
because OF this whole road question,
and have heard repeated threats
from prominent people that if the
roads could not be put in better
shape they would refuse to pay the
tax. Just three days ago a promi-
nent citizen of my district told me
if he could get a half dozen reliable
men to stand by him he would refuse
to pay the tax and see whether or not
it could be collected.
If the people who are trying so
hard to make a sensation out of this
little matter will come to me l will
tell them frankly what I think of the
situation, and if necessary will give
them the names of people who have
been making the threats alluded to.
Please give this space in your pa
per, and L will also ask both of the
Cuthbert papers to please copy. Very
respectfully, c. B. PHILLIPS.

lett, a member Of appropriations;
ROddenbery, of public buildings and
grounds; Tribble, of naval affairs;
Bell, of postoflice and post roads, and
Lee, of agriculture.
Underwood is a wonderful leader,
and his personal influence with the
committee and with the house is
great; but he is not omnipotent.
That is not a human quality.
How Lamb Got Place.
John Lamb has been a member Of
the house for sixteen years, and I'M
der the rule OF precedent, was emit
tied to the position he received. To
set him aside would have been a VIC
lation Of its usual custom and of long
established precedent.
He is Virginian, commanded Com
pany D, Third Virginia cavalry,
through three years of war, and was
several times wounded. He is a.
southern Democrat.
Mr.. Lamb may have made mis-
takes; he may have been guilty of err
rors of Judgment; as he is Y years
of age, he is sometimes crochety in
temper. But to strike at Underwood
over the head Of Lamb is about as
fair as it would be to charge his Sc
lection to Representative Brantley, Of
Georgia, or any other member of the
ways and means committee.
Harris Trying to Use Lamb Incidents.
The adoption of the Lamb incident
by William J. Harris in circular let
ter he is sending out was called to the
attention of the Underwood headquar-
ters here by a Georgia farmer. He
wants to know if this same Under
wood is not the man whose name is
attached to the farmers free list, and
which passed the house last year, and
would today be a law but for Presi-
dent Taft's veto.
This same farmer was evidently
not as dense a "rube" as the Wilson
managers took him to be.
Commenting on the charge that
Woodrow Wilson helped to defeat ex-
Senator Smith, the millionaire poll
teal boss" by putting up MARITIME, of
New Jersey, Mr.. Georgia farmer re-
calls that Senator Smith was former
ly an accepted supporter and large
contributor to Governor Wilson's cam
paign.
Georgia Farmers Not Fooled.
The following sentence in Manager
Harris letter is marked No. 8 by Mr..
Georgia farmer: THE enemies Of
Governor Woodrow Wilson are charg-
ing him with being against foreign
immigration and urging all foreign
ers to vote against him"
Commenting on this point he says:
q haven't seen them brag on this
before. This argument is slipped to
us by mail. 1t is not being publicly
used 1t is whispered in the farm
er's ear"
Mr. Harris declares that Wilson
started life poor Georgia boy, and
his life should be an inspiration to
every boy in Georgia" The only
trouble about that is Wilson was real
ly born in Virginia. He only lived a
very short time in Georgia.
