Don't Burn off Your Fields.

Don't burn corn stalks in order
to prepare the land A farmer
wrote to me today asking what
would be the difference between
turning under q heavy growth of
dead peavines and cornstalks and
burning them. In a heavy growth
of peavines he will have organic
nitrogen enough to be a. valuable
az a ton an acre of a fertilizer with
8 per cent ammonia and that
would be worth $40 to S12 an acre.
He would lose this in the burning,
and would lose the humus-making
material, and would have left only
the potash and lime that were in
the growth burned. In many
places he would lose as much 40
an acre of the land would sell for.

Make Credit a Matter Of Business.

In South Carolina a Very re.
spectacle element of the farmers
thought the repeal of the lien law
would cure this evil of indiscrim-
mate credit. I was never one of
them, because 1 have always be-
lieved that a man had an inalien.
able right to mortgage anything
that he pleased. may be wrong,
but 1 see no remedy except the
repeal of the criminal statutes
which, in SO many instances, are
all that give value to a mortgage.
Then and not till then will credit
be matter of character. It is q
common saying among certain
business men: II would rather
have second mortgage" or "do
not care how many mortgages he
puts on the stuff" Just as long
as that attitude is encouraged by
statutes and laws, just 80 long

rural credits or begin cooperative

The Dog Eater Still Living.

This report comes from a
reliable source and we be-
lieve it to be true, that
one day last week, so it is
said by a truthful man, that
this varmit went to the home
of ED. McNeill about four
miles west Of Troy and was
seen by Mrs. McNeill who
was frightened when she saw
it run under her house during
the day, She made haste to
get the children in the house
and close the doors for pro,
lection until help came. Ac~
cording to the description it
was larger than a dog and of
a pided color, with straight
ears and had rings around
it's tail. Now, in all serious
ness, if Mrs. McNeill saw this
animal and described it as
reported, there can be no
mistake about it being true
for she is one Of the county's
best women, a lady Of intelli-
gence and refinement. There
is something loose in the
country that is dangerous to
dogs and perhaps to man as
well.-Troy Montgomerian.
