HOW TO GET TOGETHER.

The most expensive system of dis.
tribution in the world may be pre-
cisely the one in which producer and
consumer deal directly with each
other. Mr.. Farmer hauls hundred
pounds of vegetables FIVE miles to q
city market. Mrs. Housewife trav.
els FIVE miles to reach the market
and carries forty cents worth home.
No middleman interviewed. Pro.
ducer's price and consumers price
were identical. But the actual cost
of getting that forty cents worth
from farm to kitchen was enormous.
If Mr.. Farmer and Mrs. Housewife
had anything in particular to do-if
their time were commercially valu.
able-the cost would be prohibitive.
There is nothing in any cost-of-liv.
ing remedy that sees no farther than
mere elimination of some middleman.
Mr.. Farmer and Mrs. Housewife may
enjoy the trip to market. There may
be diversion in simply getting pro
Queer and consumer together; but
there is no real economy in it. The
real job is not so much to eliminate
a middleman as to devise a system
that shall be more economical than
his. and that involves organization on
q pretty extensive scale.
Cost of living is not to be ma.
teria'ly reduced by simply taking
market basket in hand.-Saturday

you get the water too hot, even five
degrees, you will kill the germ and
ruin your seed. Carefully test your
thermometer by the standard Their.
mometer at the cheese factory OF
creamery. After removing sack Of
barley, empty on threshing floor to
cool and sow as soon as possible
thereafter, because if left for two or
three days before sowing, barley may
sprout. Use gunny sacks in which 70
put barley for treatment and do not
have them more than half filled as
this will allow the penetration of the
temperature readily.
Test Your Thermometer.
Do not treat more than one or two
sacks the first year. This will give
you enough seed which is free from
smut to plant all of next years crop.
Every farmer should have his own
seed patch from which to select the
best each year for the next years seed
patch, using what is left for general
sowing.

in tank or barrel containing thirty
six gallons of water; put your seed in
a gunny sack and dip it into this solu-
ton. Soak it good for a few minutes;
take out the grain and allow it to
drain for a few minutes; then empty
the grain on a clean floor and cover
with wet sacks or with a canvas for
an hour. Treat the grain at least
half day before sowing, in order
to give it time to dry.
If you prefer, you can spread the
seed grain on a clean floor and spray
the seed with common sprinkling
can, or still better with a small force
pump, which will throw an even spray.
1t should be shoveled over and over
until the seed is thoroughly moist
ened, then cover with few sacks or
blanket for an hour. Allow seed to
dry before sowing.
Sixteen ounces of formaldehyde in
thirty-six gallons of water will. treat
forty to fifty bushels, and should cost
thirty to thirty-6ve cents. Be sure
that the formaldehyde is of standard
quality.

have been astonished at the enor-
nous amount of money sent out of
the county for farm seeds, entirely an
unwarranted amount it seems to me.
Do not understand that underesti-
mate the value and importance Of bet
ter seeds. They are one of the im-
portant possible helps to larger farm
incomes. But not every man who adj
vertises seeds has done anything to
improve the seeds he offers and even
when the seeds advertised are inn
proved perhaps you could have made
the same impt ovement in your own at
less cost than will be necessary to Sc
cure them from distance.
We are often misled by reports Of
big yields. We jump to the conclusion
that they are due to improved seeds,
when they may be due to tile drain
age, fertilization, better tillage, better
weather conditions, or all combined.
The man who really improves our
farm crops is a benefactor and such
improved seed is good investment at
twice, or many times, the price of
common seed. It is worth it to you,
provided it is adapted to your soil and
climate, and it has cost the producer
more in time and labor; and it Is but
just that he should have more.
The only way to improve crops is
through selection, just Is in animal
breeding, and this selection must take
into account the environment under
which the plants grew. Not much
progress can be made in the improve
ment of corn by selection of seed ears
from the corn crib. The big ears may
be so, and usually are, because of bet
ter conditions of growth. The superb
ority on this account can not be trans
mitted. The only place to select seed
corn for real improvement is from the
standing stalk. Only ears that have
grown under normal conditions should
be selected. The prize winning ears
at corn show are almost certain to
be very disappointing seed ears.

Grain smut is one of the worst enc

that formaldehyde alone will not kill

county, which is almost equal to
living in Lee, he says.
Mr.. Hines has been able to do
more boosting for Lee county than
any other man in it, for he has been
travelling for years for the popular
Georgia Cotton Oil Company, Of Al
bany. This travelling has taken him
all over southern Georgia, where he
has preached the gospelof Lee coun-

his spiel by a joke that would make
the dead come to life.

Mr.. Hines says that he has just be-

his life. Already his friends have

WIDELY KNOWN AND RELIABLE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
PURCHASED LARGE DEVELOPED ORCHARDS

acres Of pecan and pear orchard
properties in Lee county that have
been brought to their present state
Of perfection through the efforts Of
Mr.. B. /. Mckinney The pur-
chase includes what are known as
the McWilliams, the Clark, the
Home and the Johnson places. All
Of these orchards were planted by
Mr.. r. /. Mckinney, and have re-
ceived expert care and are in a fine
condition-in fact there are no trees
in better condition for the same age
in the county. The pecan trees
range in age from 2 ito 8 years with
few older trees and the pear trees
range from 5 years to 20 years Of
age and have been bearing paying
crops Of leConte and Kieffer pears
for some years.
