ARE
TOO BUSY TO
LEAVE WORK
Crop Prospects Have ImprOV-
ed Recently

Sumter's farmers are too busy this
week to come to town, as the season
is propituous for work since the fine
rain Wednesday night. They are
planting cotton, siding and picking
cotton all at the same time, due t.
the variable seasons and unusual con.
ditions generally.
Many of the farmers have had t.
replant portions of their crops til,
second and third time, but they ar.
not discouraged, and hope still to make
a fairly good crop this year. The COO
weather of the past two days injure,
the crop considerably, but the youn:
plants will recover with the return
of hot weather.
The prospect in Sumter as
whole, has improved very considera
bly, within the month and the crou
| condition is not nearly as bad as i
might be under the circumstances.

GROWING OF OATS is
A PAYING BUSINESS
Farmers May Profit By This
Advice
(Moultrie Observer


That Colquitt county will eventual
iy become a great grain producing
county is a prediction that one often
hears now. Corn has come to be con-
sidered a very profitable crop, espe-
cialIy when pindars are planted WITH
it. and now it is being learned that
oats can be made very paying money
crop. There are few farmers in the
county who have for several years
looked to their oats for nice sum OF
clear money in the spring. A promi-
nent all-cotton farmer who put sew
enty acres in oats this year, said to
the writer two or three days ago that
his oats would be the most profitable
part of his crop this yaer, and he now
regrets that he did not put a larger
per cent. of his lands in oats. He
VIII make fifty or sixty bushels to
the acre and they are selling high.
The oats have been easily made and
with his reaper and binder he can
harvest ten to fifteen acres per day
The crop is the most inexpensive one
that can be made, and with hay fol-
lowing it, the land is made to Yell
two very profitable crops in the same
year.
One thing that is necessary to make
oats successfully is to get the stumps

VALUE OF RURAL PHONE.

Several times we have had occasion
to advocate the more rapid extensio !
of rural telephone service. together
with the improvement of roads ami
the extension of the rural mail de-
livery. Nothing of such small cos:
ADDS so much to the comfort and
pleasure and convenience of rural life
as general extension of telephone ser
vice. Not only is it a source of pleas
ure and promotion of social life ami
intercourse, but it has it's utilitariau
phases as well and is of incompara-
bic value in case of emergency. Re
Gently the practical value of the rural
phone has been demonstrated in ed
ucauonal work and in the advance
ment of public interest therein. In
this connection We reproduce here
with a letter written to the Pro-
gressive Farmer by Miss Craig, who
speaks from personal experience of
the value of the phone:
In my neighborhood every family
fas a telephone, and / know nothing
which has helped this community so
much. From a shack of school
building they have risen to a nice
painted building, and the term, which
used to be four months, is now seven.
and the teachers salary is almost
twice as large. There was no library;
now they have a small, but well as
sorted one, and the books are read
with interest by every one in the
community. An Improvement associa-
ton has been organized and the school
ground is being worked on. The money
was raised to build this house a M
all other funds needed for expenses.
by plans talked over and planned over
the phone, They have a parents
meeting over the phone 1--WE are al
on ltne.) The number of pupils is
small, but every child in the commun-
ity of school age attends. Further
more, the older sons and daughters
are attending college.
This is what the telephone has
done for us and it will do the same
thing for any community. believe "
Even if the telephone did nothing
more for the rural sections than the
removals of the otherwise inevitable
isolation of rural residents in winter.
1t would be more than worth the cost
Persons living miles apart are by It
brought into intimate and pleasant So
c!al relations, regardless of weathe"
or roads. There are various other
uses for the rural phone, but this So
cial and educational value add to its
importance. We would be glad to see
the county of Pittsylyania strung witt
wires in every direction so thickJ
that one might communicate with al
most any section of the county. The
great counties of Rockingham and
Augusta are SO efficiently and univer-
sally served by rural telephones thai
an pats OF both are in close touch
n each other and with the nearby
res and towns.--Danville, va, Reg
lister, March 80, 1912.

When Child Is Restless.

The principal cause of restlessness
and sleeplessness in children is in
digestion. usually brought on by un-
suitable food, overlooking or irregu.
lar meal hours.
If child cries a great deal, is rest
less and loses sleep, look to the food
and the time at which it is given.
Another cause of sleeplessness
which is frequently overlooked is toe
much light in the room. 1t is natu.
raj to sleep in the dark, and it is
particularly desirable that children
should do so, for they are very sensi
tive to all impressions.
The tender eyes and brain need the
complete rest and relaxation that
darkness permits. In spring and sum
mer, when the sun rises at FIVE O'Clock
or earlier, children will waken IN
less the room is kept darkened.
A green blind is best for this pur
pose, and it is advisable to use it in
the child's bedroom if nowhere else
