Fall Flowing An Important
Factor In The Growing Of
Good Crops.

Fall plowine and tillage are i'm
portant factors in the growing of
good crops. The bad weather that
has prevailed this fall has delayed
the gathering of the cotton and the
corn crops, and Of course the farmers
cannot break the ground for the
next crop until the present one is
gathered, hence many farmers will
be prevented from breaking their
land, or a part of it, until after the
first Of January. However, those
who can should break all the land
they can without delay By fall
breaking a greater amount of green
stuff and vegetation will be turned
-dnIer, = humus added to the
soil. BY adding humus you get
more organic matter into the soil
and it becomes enriched and other
wise improved thereby. The
vegetable matter turned under will
decay and have a beneficial effect
on the soil. No soil will last and
continue to make good crops with
out organic matter. Turning under
the weeds, grass and stalks will not
meet every purpose, but it will 60 a
long way toward maintaining the
productiveness Of the soil.
Deep tillase serves another pur-
pose. 1t gives better seed bed
and more loose soil to hold the
moisture next year while the crop
is growing, and also goes a long way
In preventing washing If soil is
plowed shallow the soft pulverized
dirt or top soil will easily wash
away. II plowed deep the rainfall

Declare War on Colds

A crusade Of education which
aims that common colds may be,
come uncommon within the next
generation" has been begun by
prominent New York physicians
Here is a list Of the "donts" which
the doctors say will prevent the an
nual visitation Of the cold.
Don't sit in draughty car"
Don't sleep in hot rooms"
Don't avoid the fresh air."
Don't stuff yourself at meal time
Overeating reduces your resistance.
To which we would add--wher
you take cold get rid Of it al
quickly as possible. To accomplish
that you will find Chamberlain

will be absorbed to the full depth,
and the washing will be lessened.
Let us take an example Of the diff
ference between shallow and deep
breaking as applied to a corn crop
in the growing season. If you lay
off your rows three and half feet
apart and plant the corn in the drill
12 inches apart, you will have a soil
surface to support each stalk
extending from the stalk to the
middle of the row, on each side, or
81 inches each side, making total
of AZ inches, and the width Of this
would be 6 inches each way be-
tween the stalks, or a total width OF
IL inches. Multiply the AZ by the
IL and it makes a surface OF 5O4
inches to each stalk on which the
winter rains fall. If you break your
land A inches deep you will have in
cubic inches A times 5O4 or 2Ol6
cubic inches of loose soil to catch
the rain and hold the moisture to
feed each stalk of corn. Now sup
pose you should break your land 8
inches deep. You would have 4O32
cubic inches of loose soil to hold
moisture. Not only that, but you
would have the same proportion OF
loose soil in which plant food would
be made available, by being releas-
ed and areated, and by having
moisture to take up the plant food
and convey it to the roots Of the
plants. There would also be the
increased proportion Of loose soil for
the feeder roots to make their way in
search of plant food. Then isn't it
reasonable to suppose that the
growth of the crop would be better
and the yield greater without any
additional labor or cost in cultivat-
ing the crop?

35 YEARS AGO
Items From The Record OF
November II, 1878.

W. G. Wasson and family arrived
here last week, and are now resi-
dents of Evening Shade. Mr.. E. F.
Smith has removed to his farm a
few miles northwest Of town.
DR.. S. A. Brown is procuring lum-
per with which to erect a store
house a short distance north of the
town spring. Evening Shade is i'm
proving more rapidly this fall than
at any previous time for several
years.
1t is reported that W. W. Metcalf,
of Woodruff county, and cousin to
Capt. Warner W. Metcalf of this
place, was struck on the head with
a battling stick or an ak in the
hands of his wife, a few days since,
and was so severely hurt that at last
accounts he was not expected to re-
cover.
Capt. 7. Y. Huddleston returned
the first part of the week from a
trip to Howell county, Mo-, where he
purchased a large lot Of fat hogs
which he will deliver here about the
first of December, when he thinks
he will be able to furnish the entire
community with pork enough to last
several months.
J.B. Nichols, of this county, has
recently obtained letters patent on
new mode of constructing running
gear of wagons, including brake,
which is attached to the running
gear instead of the bed of the wagon.
The model differs materially from
that of the ordinary wagon, and is
generally considered a valuable in
vention. Sharp county is said to
have obtained more patents during
the past two years than any other
county in the state,
Vim. Lane was accidentally shot
in the side with a small pistol in
the hands Of VIM. Goodman at
Cochran's store in this place last
Friday. Goodman was examining
the pistol with view to purchasing
it, and, not knowing it was loaded,
drew back the lock or hammer,
which slipped from his thumb with
the result allowed named. Mr.. Lane
is up and going about, and the
wound is considered not dangerous,
though the ball has not been re-
moved.
During Sabbath school at the
M. E. church in this place on Sun
day last, an elegant banner was
presented to the class which raised
the largest sum of money for mis-
sionary purposes. The banner was
awarded to the ladies' Bible class,
and Mr.. j. B. McCaleb made the
presentation, with some very appro-
pirate remarks. Miss Mary Vain
wright was presented with an al
bum by the school, for having Oh

BETTER Protected
CONSTRUCTION OF TRAILS AND
TELEPHONES BY GOVERNMENT
lessons DANGER.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 25.-FOur hun.
bred and fOrty-seyen miles of tele.
phone line and 300 miles Of trail g
completed in the national forests in
Montana and Northern Idaho during
the past summe and fall by the I'm
tied States forest service, making q
total OF 3,133.52 miles Of telephone
line and 4,303.75 miles of trail, as
shown by recent statistics given out
by the district Office at Miss0ula.
The telephone lines and trail con.
structed this summer open up for
protection a number of the largest
bodies of timber, and the construc-
ton Of the lines adds greatly to their
protection from fire. The recent ia
cilities for the handling of the fire
situation in northern Idaho and Mon.
tana show a large improvement over
what they were in 1910 just prior to
the big fires, as shown by the fol-
lowing figures:
Nearly 1900 Miles Increase.
On June 30. 1910 the national for
ests in this district had only $3.50.
miles Of trail, while at the present
time this same territory has 4,3O3.75
miles Of trail. This shows a net in.
crease of 3,9440..o miles during this
period.
On June 80, 1910, this , 'rtrict had
only 222.75 miles of telephone line,
while at the present time this same
territory has 3,133.52 miles of line.
This shows a net increase Of 2,910.77
miles constructed during that date.
This large amount OF mileage of
telephone lines and trail increases
the fire protection efficiency alb 3ur 100
per cent over what it wa. in 1910,
as n of the chief obstacles in the
protective work in 1910 was the great
delay in receiving reports of fires,
and the necessity Of cutting trails to
get to the fires after they were re.
ported.

fire DESTROYED
OLD AVALRELICS

Portsmouth, Eng, Dec. ,25.--The
fire in the dock yards caused damage
estimated variously at $1,250,00 to
49, SOC, 900, and resulted in the loss of
two lives and the restriction Of the
centui7.ol0 semaphore tower, which,
in the Are.telSgraph days, was the
great signaling station between the
fleet and the. admiralty.
An examination Of the ruins today
disclosed the fact that two Of the
three signal men who had remained in
the tower to summon help when the
fire broke out were burned TO death.
The third escaped to an adjoining roof
and there fell unconscious. He was
subsequently rescued.
Nothing is known as to how the fire
originated. When it was first observ.
ed from the dock of the new battle
cruiser Queen Mary, it had already
obtained a good hold on the inflamma-
bic material in the rigging loft, and
sailhouse. All the fire fighting ap-
paratus in the dock yard was brought
into action. and after many hours of
most strenuous work the fire vas got
ten, under control. 1t was finally X
tinguished at 3 o'clock this morn.
ing.
The huge wooden semaphore struc-
ture surmounting the rigging house
was a blazing beacon within half an
after the outbreak, and collapsed
upon the roof of the main tower and
building, converting the whole into a
fiery mass. Fire parties were semi
to the dock yard from all the warships
in the harbor and the battle cruiser
Queen Mary, on which burning brands
were falling. was towed out of the
danger zone.
