HOW TO PLANT YOUR WHEAT
MIR. j. r. Mercer, Who Has Given
Wheat Growing Much Attention.
Writes on the Subject.

Editor Dawson News: Farmers
who desire to plant wheat should not
plant on rich land. Turn, subsoil,
harrow and plant on highest, best
drained red or stiff land, without any
fertilizer, by Dec. 1st. In March top
dress with 200 pounds of guano, or
in April 100 pounds Of top dressing
or IS pounds of nitrate of soda.
About the same time it would be
we'll to harrow with a tooth or disc
harrow.
We have erred in planting rich
patches and manuring even these.
The above plan will insure a profita-
BILE crop four years in five, providing
healthful bread rather than having
to buy the commercial -four made
from grain bulked, heated. kiln
dried, bleached, dehearted. etc. Why
not as We progress hold to some of
the valuable primitive methods Of
our fathers. especially along. the line
of diversified farming? 1t would
tend to keep down the increasing
cost of living, which is bearing down
upon us, with a vengeance. Very
respectfully, j. R. MERCER,

EGGS WILL BE A LUXURY
Bringing SO Cents in Local Market
and Are Expected to Go Higher.
Hen Is Now National Bird.

Eggs are getting scarce every
dav. and before the end of the noli-
days are likely to be classed as lux
uries.
Fresh country eggs have aero
planned to 80 cents a dozen, and =
receipts do not increase materially
ii is predicted that they will reach
80 cents.
The farmers of this section can
realize handsome profits by building
good hen houses and going into the
business on a larger scale.
There is no dead capital in the
poultry business, and the time viii
never again be seen when poultry
and eggs will not be in demand at
profitable prices
Each year poultry and eggs are
more valuable than before, the de-
mand is greater, and the prices will
keen on rising. If a poultry man
wants to sell out his stock he can do
so any time of the year.
The hungry public buys poultrp
products greedily at any time.
We read about our national bird
The eagle and her scream,
And the books are filled with stories
of which you and l all dream.
We hear the hawks up in the trees
The knocking bird and wren,
Rut we find we are all depending
On the little speckled hen.

MUCH POLITICS NEXT YEAR
LOOKS As IF THERE'LL BE CON-
TESTS FOR SEVERAL OFFICES.
Quite "A Number Are Wanting Pie,
and the Campaign viii Probably
Open Early in 1914.

Next year will be political year,
and already rumbhngs are being
heard that indicate that there viii be
some scrapping for the various polit-
ical offices that are to be filled in
Terrell county.
In addition to the several officials
who have heretofore been chosen by
popular vote three county commits
sioners will have to be elected by the
people next year, the selection Of this
board having been taken from the
grand jury by a local law that was
passed at the last session of the leg
islature.
There are a number OF citizens who
have been on the waiting list for sew
eral years, and it is known that few
of these are anxious to throw their
hats into the ring and get busy for
some of the juicy plums that have
been gathered in by the present in
mbents.
Ii is true the county election will
not take place until next fall, but
there will likely be a primary much
earlier, and it now looks as if there
is to be a lively contest for a num-
Der OF the offices to be filled. AS
before stated, there are numerous
good citizens, it is said, who desire TO
get a taste of office. and they believe
they possess all OF the qualifications
necessary to properly manage the at
fairs of the Offices.
1t is likely that the new year will
not be far advanced before candi-
dates will begin to announce. and in
the event an early primary is called,
which is the custom in this county,
it will mean that the candidates will
get into the race without delay.
1t would not be surprising to see a
number of hats in the ring for some
of the offices soon after the new year
opens. In the event there are there
is going to be pretty contests wit
messed in the good year 1914.
