 Phoenix

The following from the Dallas News shows Texas is now using ,shallu for food. Shallu bread was in the bill of fare at Harry Welch's birthday luncheon some time ago.
 Some time ago it was discovered that certain families in Tuleta, Bee county, Texas, were successfully us ing Egyptian wheat as food. They used the grain popped as popcorn the seed ground into meal, and the meal used in mullins and grlddle cakes.
 ShAllu, or Egyptian wheat, has for many years been used for live stock and chickens It is member ot the sorghum family and often known under the common name of Egyptian wheat. California wheat and Mexican wheat. It grows very luxuriantly, and, when drilled in rows, th1e and I, half feet apart and given proper irrigation and cultivation it is pos yible to produce an annual yield of 25O bushels of grain per acre. The seed however is very drouth resist ant and the crop stands much neat IL also natures quickly and the for age. as well as the seed, IS excellent for live stock.
 It has been tried out in the Ri'' ,Grande valley, and is suggested, by the department of agriculture of the state of Texas as well worth trying in the El Paso valley or any arid or semi arid district of Texas.
 The University of Texas has talk en up this grain as a food seed and worked out a little more completely the things which the housewives Tn Bee county began. The following re- cipeS have been successfully tried, and the university recommends that where the Egyptian wheat Is avail able, these recipes be repeated.

Your 1913 Taxes.

The annual notice of County
Treasurer James T.. Minis is pub
lished in this issue. His Office will
open on the morning of October Is
for the purpose of receiving the
taxes levied for the year 1913. The
notice gives the state and county
levies and the special levies in the
several townships, school districts
and towns. If a taxpayer has a
record of his tax returns, he can, if
he is an expert "fggerer, take the
notice of the county treasurer and
determine the amount of taxes due
for the current year. With cotton
selling at good price and an
average crop being made, taxpayers
should pay promptly this year. Bet
ter pay in the fall than wait until
after Christmas and then have to
go to the banks and borrow the
necessary amount.

All Honor to Them.

We always feel like uncovering
our head and showing every posi-
bic honor to the father and mother
who are struggling against heavy
odds in order to give their children
college education. A few days
ago we heard . father and mother,
who have son and daughter off at
college, say, with one voice: We
are willing to live on bread and wa
ter, if that be necessary, in order
to educate our children" Would
that more parents in Edgefeld coun-
ty fully realized what it means for
their children to be educated, and,
ON the contrary, how greatly handi-
capped they will be without an
education.

Revive the Old Custom.

The writer saw a team of four
big tat mules on the square the 9th
er day with red streamers fastened
to their brides. We liked their ap-
pearauce and could not help feeling
that the mules were also pleased
with this regalia and walked with a
quicker step. When the writer was
q bov (not many years ago) it was
the custom in some sections to have
red tassels and bells on the wagon
mules. Why not return to this once
popular custom? We think it was
good one. 1t would have some
weight in causing farmers to vie
with each other in having their
teams appear we'll.

Rich Soil or Poor, Which Shall
IL be. rs

Nitrogen obtained from decaying
organic matter is the controlling
factor in crop production on practi-
cally all southern soils. The agri-
cultural asset of which we boast: so
much and rightfully-our favorable
climate or longer growing season
and the ability to grow two crops a
year, is not only not taken advan-
tage of, but this climate of which
we talk SO much is actually the
cause of our depleted soils and low
crop yields.
Our mild climate and heavy rain
fall, taken advantage of with crops
kept on the land all the time and a
free use of legumes, would indeed
be an az gricultural asset which would
make the south the most marvellous
ly productive section of the coun-
try; but this same mild climate and
heavy rainfall, not taken advantage
of, with our fields left bare for the
greater part of the year, becomes
the source of our agricultural weak
ness and poverty. Our greatest as
set through our neglect has become
our greatest liability. That which
has made US and our lands poor if
properly used would make US rich
through productive soils. When
will we awake to the fact that rich
er soils are our only salvation and
that these can only be obtained
through taking advantage of our ia
voring climatic conditions. If neg
leoted, these make our soils still
poorer, but if utilized as they should
be, would make our soils marvellous.
ly rich. We have our choice and 80
far we have elected to take low
crop yields from a poor or depleted
soil. The greater the opportunities,
the greater the responsibilities. The
greater our opportunities for soil
improvement, the greater the losses
when these opportunities are neg
lected. Our opportunities have been
great, we have neglected, them and
our losses have been great. Pro
