POMARIA HAPPENINGS.
Much Cotton Still OH RaDd-Larger
Amount OF Cotton Seed Sold in
POmaria.
Special to The Herald and News.

February it is beginning 10 look very
much like spring among our farmers.
Some Of them have already began
hauling their fertilizers and preparing
their land for raising more cotton,
while a majority of them still have
some Of their last years crop un-
der their sheds, waiting for a higher
price. We believe our farmers are
making a great mistake in using too
much fertilizers Although this seems
not to influence than this year, mors
is going to be used, and the price
, higher than it was last year. We be-
lieve in higher fertilizing, but good
plan would be to reduce the acreage,
while this would also reduce the fer
! tilizer bill
Our town can boast a little on the
cotton seed bought here during the
season; to the present time Settler
Co. has bought 46O tons alone, while
there are three other buyers here that
We have no report from.
! The unusually warm winter has
caused the ladies around here to be-
gin early gardening. Peas, cabbage,
I onions, ETC., can be seen from a dis
! tance.
The health of the community is un-
usually good. No serious illness at all
around here at this time Miss EloiSe
Hipp who was real sick of pneu-
monia, is able to be out again, to the
delight of her many friends.
