The county political pot is be-
ginning to simmer perceptibly,
and as the summer advances it
is expected to gradually come to
the boiling point.
AT this time it is impossible to
say who the candidates will be
but there will likely be a num-
Der of changes. w. F. Steven
son intends to Try for congress,
and w. P. Odom will not ask for
reelection as representative but
will probability for G. K. Laney's
seat in the state senate. Nj. M.
Johnson, w. L. Gibson, R. D.
Marsh and Sam ]. Sellers are
avowed candidates for represen-
tative. J.C. Blackwell wants to
take T. w. Eddins' place as
county auditor. There are at
least one hundred others who
would like to take part in the
races, but only about half of
them will try.
The writer doesn't know who
may have an eye on the sheriff's
job and the superintendent of
education's place, but he ven
lures the prediction that those
who try to beat these two men
will meet defeat. The present
county officers are all good men,
but there are other good men
who believe the offices should
be passed around, and they will
ask the voters to hand the Jobs
to them so they may prove their
metal.
This section is remarkably
free from office-seeeking pests,
and the people may be depend
ed upon to keep their heads and
vote with common sense no mat
ter who runs or what happens.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. ]. A.
Mangum brought samples Of
vetch and crimson clover taken
from a patch near his residence
just north of town. and we
would like for every farmer who
comes to town during the next
few days to come around and
see these samples, and if posi-
bic go out and look at these
legumes growing. The samples
show the worth of seed inocula-
ton. Mr.. Mangum inoculated
with Farmogerm a part of the
seed before sowing and then
sowed these seed side by side
with the seed not inoculated on
ground that is just ordinary, not
very fertile and still not as poor
as some. No fertilizer of any
kind was used, and the inocula-
ted vetch and clover had no adj
vantage over the other in anv
way save the inoculation, thing
many farmers profess not to be-
lleve in. The vetch and clover

TWO NEW CROPS
FOR THE SOUTH

The first lesson in farming Is how
to keep out OF the grocery store.
There is no mental health or finan-
cial prosperity in working hard all
the year and handing out at the end
OF the crop year to pay for supplies,
as advanced, the net cash results Of
the years labor. There are two crops
that seemingly we're made especially
to head off conditions as above.
Strange to say, II Is doubtful If one
IN hundred OF Georgia farmers have
used both Of these crops for the pur-
pose as indicated. Southern agrfcul-
lures Information about beardiess
barley and popcorn forage is Of
truth the most hazy. But these facts
do no lessen the importance an0value
of said crops.
BeardIess barley Is a safe feeding
proposition, and in every way is quite
different plant from the bearded.
II can be sown in August and cut in
October IN time for fan grains. For
spring sowing the present time is the
proper period. Planted now, It will
ripen in June or before. 1t can be
used for three purposes II makes
ine grazing, or when cut in the bloom
It makes fine hay, or for forage, If
planted now 1t can be cut three times
up TO an early June date. It ripens
far earlier than the bearded, is cas-
lily handled and fed to stock as a
hay,
Popcorn is usually thought of as
only popping" proposition, but 1t is.
however, one Of the very best combi-
nation spring forages known II Is
forage. and is usually planted in three
or four foot rows, about six inches
in the row, several grains to the
hill. In June It is full grown, and MAS
an abundance Of ears of corn in the
milk It is marvellous to know the
amount of forage that such a field
planted in popcorn VIII make.

PLANTING TIME FOR

horticulture is now inseparably anil
lated with Georgia and the rest OF the
Southern States. The educational ia
cilities of the South for instructing
the younger generation Of farmers are
the best in the world, and State, uni
versity and Federal bureaus have
spread the knowledge OF needed ref
ormation along this line.
Bureaus Spread knowledge.

back yard gardens, flower plats and
the like can be fostered and made
successful The innate love in the
breast of everyone to cultivate the
soil and raise some sort Of product,
whether vegetables, farm plants or
flowers, has made these bureaus a
popular necessity.
Now is the time TO tell your trouble

about fertilizing Il, so that II will be

ers will tell him that this knowledge
will soon become intuition after q lit
