speaks for the community to be

for the best interests of its ellen

GROWING WINTER OATS IN

than it can be purchased. fall
sown oats prevent the washing
of the soil by which much fer
tility is frequently lost. There
is still time to SOW winter oats in
the Gulf States, though this work
should be done at once if good
results are to be obtained. Ac.
cording to specialists of the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture,, oats sown in the Southern
States during October or the first
half Of November may be expect.
ed to produce at least twive the
yie.d Of grain obtained from
spring seeding.
Winter grain may be sown on
land which produced a crop of
cotton. corn or cowpeas the past
summer. If this land has not al
ready been plowed, it will be
better to make the surface soil
fine and loose with the disk or
drag harrow than to delay seed
ing by blowing now. Better re-
suits are obtained from sowing
with the drill than from broad
cast seeding. though if drill is
rot available sowing tn, seed
broadcast on well prepared land
usually results in a good stand.
If the preceding crop was we'll
fertilized, 100 to 200 pounds of
acid phosphate will be all that the
oats require this fall, though a
little nitrate Of soda will help
the fall growth, especially if the
soil is not already well supplied
with nitrogen from the growing
of cowpeas or some other legume.
A top dressing of so to 100 pounds
Of nitrate of soda applied when
yrowth starts in the spring will
greatly increase, the yield.

commonly grown in the South is
Red Rustproof, Appler, Lawson,
Hundred Bushel, Bancroft and
Cook are selections or strains Of
Red Rust-proof which are said to
be particularly valuable in some
localities. The Fulghum is a
promising new variety which ma
lures a week or ten days earlier
than the Red Rustproof, and
usually produces as much or more
grain. AS the kernels of .. all
these varieties are large, from 9
IL to 3 IL bushels should be
sown to the acre. The smaller
quantity is sufficient if the seed
is drilled early on well,prepared
land, while 3 bushels or more are
needed when the seed is sown
broadcast late in the season. The
Winter Turf or Virginia Gray is
a very hardy variety which is fall
liable for pasture or hay produc-
ton, but which does not yield as
much grain in the Southern
States as the Red Rustproof. On
account Of the small size of the
kernels, only / IL bushels of seed
OF this variety are required.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks ols-
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism unified for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous STRAIN
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that. with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

COUNTY BOARD
BEGINS PRISON
REFORMS

Radical convict camp reforms were
instituted Wednesday by resolutions
adopted at the meeting Of the County
Commissioners. The action follows
the disclosures of the fearful condi-
tons in the camps by The Georgian
and the drastice censure of the Grand
jury, which recommended immediate
changes and branded the treatment
OF prisoners as surprising in cruelty
ahat which obtains in the convict
mines of Siberia.
Principal among the reforms inau-
gurated We're:
The institution Of ten hour work
ing day for the convicts instead of a
day lasting from sunup to shutdown.
Honor Camp Established.
The establishment of a camp in the
northern part Of the county in which
the honor system shall prevail, and
" here the prisoners shall be made up
from the TRUSTEES" of all the camps.
The payment to the prisoners in
the honor camp of 10 cents a day,
this to be given them on their re-
lease
A new rule that hereafter prison
ers shall be transported to their work
in county vehicles where the distance
is more than three quarters of a mile
The convicts formerly have had to
walk in many cases.
