the month Of Juue;
During The. month / have visited
85 demonstrators, 81 club members,
inoeulated 81 hogs as q preventive
| of cholera. wrote BIZ letters and
Travelled 469 miles.
All this month, tho conservation
Of moisturi has heen stressed a great
deal, This can be done this time Of
the year in only one way and that
is by rapid shallow cultivation.
where this has been done the crops
have not been injured near as much
by prolonged drouth as where cul-
| tivation was discontinued we have
had to rely altogether OH capillary
moisture, but where cultivation
was not continued the crops reached
but little benefitfrou It. this drouth
should teach our farmers the inn
portance Of deep fall breaking, ad.
dition OF humus and the use Of cov-
er crop and the harrow The good
effects Of these are seen on number
Of farms in the county and feel
certain that numbers will follow
the example another season. We
should constantly bear in mind
that the time to begin a crop is in
November instead Of March.
Field selection of seed, cotton
and corn, have received special at
tention all this month. Tie inn
portanee Of this can not easily be-
over estimated and we hope to be
able to furnish every farmer in the
county field picked seed Of any va
riety vented seed raised III hig own
county, and ON soils that he hopes
TO plant them. we can not afford to
waste ourtime, money and energy
planting seed Of inferior type, and
we firmly believe that the farmers
are realizing this as never before
The wilt resistant cotton seed dis
tributed are giving good satisfaction
in nearly every instance 50 far.
This, alone, is enough to warrant
selection Of good seed.
Considerable time has been given
to the county and state fairs. Some
have already begun selecting exhi-
bits and others will start soor ]
each farmer would prepare a gem
eral exhibit Of the best Of every
thing raised on his farm, what a
creditable fair we could have. From
all the exhibits we hope to prepare
an exhibit for the state fair that
win show the rest Of the state what
the soils Of this county Will produce,
how progressive its farmers are, and
it viii be the cheapest and best adj
vertisement Of the resources Of this
section that could possibly he had.
We ran not take it for granted that
other people know what fine ag-
rieultural section we have. They
can not see it as we do Seeing j. be-
lieving, and if we want develop
ment, we mutt show what We have
to cffer Every farmer will manifest
his county interest by the effort he
makes by saving some Of the best Of
his products for exhibition
lam extremely glad to say, again,
that not club member has dropped

increasing, and by Tie end Of this
