DEER SEASON EXTENDED.

The Conservation Commission at
its meeting Thursday, Dec. 10th. pass
ed a resolution extending the season
for the killing of deer until Jan. 2
lOIE.
In taking this action the commits
sion called attention to the fact that
the open season for the killing OF
deer will be re-adjusted before the
beginning of another hunting season.
The commission has concluded that
the dates previously fixed by the
commission are unsatisfactory in that
the season opens too soon to give
proper protection to the young fawns
ard does.
In extending the present season
now to Jan. the commission asks
the cooperation of the sportsmen in
bringing about strict observance
of the laws for the protection of deer
and their cooperation in bringing
theSeaSon to a close of the date
nCW fixed.
The commission is determined to
give greater protection to the deer
of the state where It is possible to do

in nearly every neighborhood and
are waiting for nearly every farmer
in the South are as follows:

supplies it would pay you to buy il.
CO. operation with your neighbours.
,. You ought right now to be
selling or storing cotton. tobacco.
peanuts or apples in cooperate
with your neighbors.
3. Having bcforeus not only the
golden opportunity but the impcra
necessity for raising more livestock
in the South, you should right new
join with your neighbor to get royal
blooded-breeding sircs and to Join in
marketing animals or meats.
4. Read in this issue how neigh
bors in other sections are Cooper
alton in the purchase and use of I'M
proved implements and machinery,
and figure out the moncy-making
opportunities you are missing here.
5. For marketing poultry, eggs.
butter, fruit, vegetables, meats, etc,
every farmer should be member of
some co operative produce exchange,
like that at Sylvester. Ga.
3. Every farmer should have his
house and stock insured in some mu-
tual insurance company.
I. In every neighborhood there
should be a farmers credit society
for pooling farmers saving and
lending to one another in safe man
ner.
3. Whenever a new cotton gin,
saw mill grain mill creamery, tobac-
co prizery, threshing machine, or
cottonseed oil mill is needed in a
nelghborhood, it should be owned bv
the farmers and run on the cooper

PRACTICE ROTATION OF CROPS
NEXT YEAR.
Mr.. Farmer. are you pract1clng TO-
tation of crops. If not-why? Maybe
it is because you haven't yet heard
of the many advantages OF crop ro-
tations. Below | am stating few
fadts which are absolutely true IN
regard to crop rotations.
~. They prevent the soils from
washing away by the heavy winter
rains that we receive in this dis
trlCt.
(2}. 1t prevents the land from be-
coming leached, that is preventing
the water from soaking through the
soils in large amounts and carrying
with it all of our fertilizers.
Cd. 1t adds humuS and nitrogen
to the soils for we always include
some legumionous crop i'll the rota-
ton whcih will gather the free nitro
gen from the soil air.
(4). 1t aids us in the labor propo-
sition because we can give the farm
hands something to do the year
round.
50. 1t aids in the destruction Of
fungus diseases that remain in the
soil during the winter to attack the
next years crop.
co.. The insects are destroyed by
starvation of food for their food is
kept from them for long periods Of
time
z). Furnishes food for livestock
the year round.
These are only a few reasons why
we should have rotations on Our
farms. Now in order that you may
not have an excuse for not practic-
ing the same | am going to tell you
how. Fist divide your farm off into
four plats. On thefourth plot we may
plant miscellaneous crops as peas,
potatoes, sorghum, millets and other
things.
