or ABOUT from TIE III ST To tie nIteeuU1
of March. The use of more than 100
pounds is not advisable. This can
be done most satisfactorily by put
ting it out through the grain drill,
which applies it evenly and, at the
same time, serves to cultivate the
crop, which seems beneficial. This
method is objected to by some, be-
cause it destroys some of the oats, but
the good accomplished outweighs
by far the harm done.
There are two different times at
which oats may be harvested, and
which is the better time is answered
by knowing what use is desired to
be made of the crop.
If the farmer wishes to get the best
possible service as feed for his ami
mails from his oats, the best time for
harvesting is when the oats heads are
in the dough and the stem and leaves
are still green. At this time, they are
cut and cured as hay. When saved
in this way the animal relishes the
stem, as well as the grain, and the
whole is more easily digested. A
larger feeding value is, therefore. the
result.
If oats are grown for the market,
it is, of course, advisable to wait until
the grain is thoroughly ripe and dry,

of these parties ana Otuers.
AS with all crops, good preparation
is the first essential in the growing
Of agood oat crop. The land should
be broken well and deep and thor
oughly narrowed to break all clods.
This should be done the latter part
OF September or the first of Octobe",
if possible.
The time for planting is, perhaps,
the first question to arise in the minds
of the farmer. Oats planted early,
say some time in October, give better
results than oats planted late. say in
December of January. The reason for
this is that early planted oats pro-
duCe more heads than later planted
ones, as they have more time for
branching. The late planted ones have
only from one to two heads, while the
early planted ones have from three to
as high as a dozen heads for each
grain planted This is suggestive.
When oats are planted late they
should be planted thicker.
Some variety of the rust-proof oat
is to be recommended, as this variety
is better suited to this climate and
soil. There are numbers of types
OF this variety, but, perhaps, the best
OF these types is the Appler oat, which
has much heavier head than most
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-06-30

the stems are so tough that, in the
first place, the animal will not eat it,
and in the second place, the percent
age of digestibility is lowered.
Johnson grass grows and does vel.
on sandy soil, and in particular on
bottom lands that are we'll drained.
OF all the hays grown anywhere in
the country there is no hay that ex-
cells peavine hay, and it is doubtful
if there is hay that equals it in feed
ing value and digestibility.
Peas fit we'll into a rotation, after
oats or wheat. After these crops are
gathered the latter part of May or the
first of June. sowpeas may be sown
up until as late as the first of July.
In addition to the value of peas as
a hay crop, it being a leguminous
plant, enriches the soil Oats or wheat

So in the raising of Johnson grass
hay, it is well to thoroughly break
the land in the early spring of the
year and then harrow until the ground
is smooth.
If the land is in fairly good condi-
ton, little or no fertilizer should be
used as it will do well without it
though it responds to fertilizing with
paying profit.
The grass can be cut as many as
three or four times in a season and
as high as one ton per acre for each
cutting is not unusual.
The best time for cutting is about
the time the seed tassels begin to
show, before any have bloomed. The
reason for this is that the largest pro-
portion of digestible nutrients is found
in the plant at this time. If cut later

the grain drill, which sows the peas
regularly giving much better stand
and much better appearance than if
narrowed in. A ton per acre of pea
vine hay may be realized readily, and
as much as two tons per acre is often
obtained.
The most of the farmers in this sec
ton are raising peayine hay Among
those who have grown 1t most success
fully are: The Third District Agri-
cultural College, J. w. Hightower, 7
B. Harmon, NJ. B. Council and w. b.
Heys.
The best time for cutting hay IS
about the time the first pods of peas
have begun to mature, or are about
ripe AS with the other hay crops
mentioned, the hay cut at this time
yields the largest feeding value.
Peavine hay is, perhaps, the most
difficult hay crop to save, especially

Wheat Can Be Grown Profitably
In This Section of Georgia

WHEAT-Tests in this county
(Sumter) last year proved beyond any
doubt that wheat can be grown as
protitably and in as large yields in
this section as anywhere in the coun-
try. The average amount of wheat
for the United States grown on an
acre is less than II bushels, while
not single acre in Sumter county
produced as low as this amount
Mr.. M. l.. Lackey, without any fer
tilizer at all, produced II bushels per
acre. Mr. A A. Forrest, with only 100
pounds nitrate of soda, used at boot
ing time of wheat, produced 25 bush
els per acre. Mr. John Mashburn,
with good preparation and fertiliza
ton, got SO bushels on an acre. Many

If proper fertilization and prepare
ZION are given and the grain is plant
ed early two and half to three BUSH

The best method of planting oats
Is to use a grain drill which gives al
even stand and usually much larger
yield and saves time. The drlll mas
also fertilizer distributor attach
ment, so that the fertilizer can be ap-
plled at the time the oats are pIahleu
If a drill is used less grain is neeueu

others produced anywhere from %
to so bushels per acre.
Since six bushels Of grain is suffi-
cient for a barrel of -four, with bran
and seconds additional, it is readily
seen that wheat growing offers great
opportunities to the farmers.
The preparation, fertilization and
method of harvesting wheat is the
same as that for oats, which is given
elsewhere.
Wheat is planted in the same way as
oats, but less grain is required. Ona
to one and a half bushels of grain
should be planted to the acre.
Wheat is harvested at the same time
as oats and can be followed with peas
in like manner, and a crop of hay as
an additional reward.

Gentlemen: l bought small farn
near Americas and lived on it during
1910, having since sold it at a good
profit. This is what consider the
finest farming section in the South,
and is the place for poor man to
buy land. Sumter countys fine roads
have no equal in South Carolina. Good
farm land can be bought here at $50
per acre, which will produce as good
crops as land in South Carolina which
sells at $3.50 per acre.
We moved here from Edgefield coun-

that | know of, and consider it one
of the best locations in the South for

fectly healthy My doctors bill in the

for an indefinite length of time, fol-
lowed with peas in the summer, and
the land will become more and more
fertile
After the crops of oats or wheat are
gathered, the land should be broken
and narrowed well. Then the peas
may be sown at the rate of from one
and a half to two and half bushels
per acre. This can best be done with

1.-THE DEEP PURPLE.

"The Deep Purple" a powerful and
convincing story of the New York un-
derworld, written by Paul Armstrong
in collaboration with Wilson Miner,
produced by Lieber & Co., comes to the
Everett thcater on Sunday, January %,
direct from its successful return engage
ment of three months in Chicago.
The story is founded upon the elope-
ment of a young girl with man who
she does not know for what he is,
cheap order of crook. She goes to New
York with him, and is given to under
stand that in order to bring about
tardy marriage she must assist in the
furtherance of a little scheme to win
over certain opposition. Ignorant of the
fact that she is lending the charm of
her unsophisticated youth and beauty
to the development of badger
scheme" (which is, being interpreted
simply the alluring of an unsuspecting
stranger with money into a trap where
he must pay to save his life), she aids
the plotters. The young woman in
question is protected by a reformed
thief, in whose house the girl has stopped
for day, because the two crooks have
given up to the police, man, a friend
of the woman's, who was also deter
mined to put behind him heroic if not

lected for the badger game" and Tore
warned and prepared, he turns the tables
on his wouldbe captors and takes home
the girl, intending to ascertain the
truth After various tests, he is firmly
convinced that her story is true and she
is soon shown that the man of her pre-
mature faith is a criminal. While wait
ing in the apartment of the young engi-
| neer's mother and sister she receives
telephone message to the effect that her
father has arrived in New York and will
meet her at the boarding house home of
Mrs. Fallon cFrisco Kate. She goes
there, and is witness to the final I'M
masking of the villainous Leland, and
his death at the hands of the man whom
he had sold to the police.

GEORGE D. BREWER OF THE SOCIALIST LYCEUM
COURSE WILL SPEAK AT FRATERNAL HAIL.
ON WEDNESDAY EVENING JANUARY 81

This lecturer has long been iden-
titled with the socialist movement
through his connection with the
Appeal to Reason, a paper of i'm
mense circulation and influence,
cordially loved by hundreds Of
thousands and as cordially hated
by political grafters from all
parties. Mr.. Brewer is known
throughout the United States as a
vigorous and entertaining writer,
and a speaker of unusual ability.
He has travelled for years as a So
ciaIist lecturer, lately as an assist
amt at the Debs meetings.
He is familiar by personal con-
tact with the class war in America
as eXemplified in the bitter strug-
ole between the Coal Trust, the
Steel Trust and similar combina-
ticns Of capital on one side and
the working class on the other.
Through long association with
Debs and Warren in their various
fights for the workers he has ac-
CURED the keenest perception of
the issues and the manner of meet
ing them. This, combined with
his splendid ability for expressing
what he knows and feels, makes
Mr. Brewer one Of the most power
ful socialist speakers.
Clear and eloquent in language,
fearless in presentation, strong in
delivery and inspired by absolute
sincerity and depth of conviction,
