Spring Seeding.


For the past few we have been having
such fine weather that it has Stated the
farming bee buzzing in most farmers ears,
at least to those who expect to accomplish
anything that will look like success next
fall. Spring is opening early this year, Just
the time to improve the opportunity to get
that field plowed that you failed to get
done last fall, and by SO doing get the crops
planted early, as this is very important
consideration. If we expect to meet with
any kind of success in our farming opera
tons we must be sure to get our seeding
done at the right time. So let us begin as
soon as the land will do to work and have
it ready to plant when planting times comes,
then you will not be behind with your
blowing and getting your land ready to sow
when everybody else is done With spring
sowing.
A good motto for every farmer on the
reservation would be ssTo raise more and
better crops this season than heretofore.
In order to do this the soil must be well
prepared to receive the seed, Gas has already
been mentioned in these columns) as much
depends upon the preparation of the seed
bed, and [ have never seen this part of the
work overdone. Be careful about those
olods, they don't make very good place
to plant seeds. I saw farmer taking home
an implement the other day that will make
short work of these bothersome elods, this
implement was land roller, but here we
meet with another difficulty Don't use
the roller if the land is wet as this will make
matters worse by packing the wet soil and
when it dries it will be hard and worse than
before The roller is one of the best farm
implements when used for that for which it
was intended, that is, to crush dry, hard
clods.
Wheat, soats and barley are the small
grain crops that should claim onr attention
this Spring, especially oats and barley.
Farmers should try to raise crops that will
cut down the feed bill next winter. Oats
makes splendid feed for horse, and ground
barley makes a fine feed for pigs, as it has
very near the same fattening qualities as
does corn. All white farmers strive to make
their farms produce feed for the live stock
and to have some grain to sell. When you
can do this you will be able to cut down
a large item in the farm expenses, because
you are in this farming business for a living
and the extra money you can make. Meth
er is it good business to darw on the bank
account to buy feed for the farm live stock
the should be raised on the farm.
Then you see it is very important that
we get these money saving crops planted in
good time, in well prepared seed bed.
If you have done this properly you have a
good right to look for success at harvest
time.

The Torrens System.

The meeting of the stat : legisla-
ture is not so far in the future, but
that some omnipresent matters
may be discussed as pertinent and
timely. This is particularly true
when it happens to be great cues
ton, involving an unusual amount
of work. There are many material
matters that can be handled by the
state legislature this year without
delving into any of the conglomera-
ted affairs that have vexed lawmak-
ers-and the people-during the
past few years.
There is great demand fol the
so-called state land banks and con-
sequent system of rural credits.
However, the question of titles will
have to be settled before the work
of the loaning money cneaplY Son
farm land can be systematized. fhe
Chronicle happens to have advanced
this idea many years ago, urging
especially the Torrens system for
Augusta, and recommending it for
the whole state, therefore the idea
of at last getting some recognition
on this score has an exceptionally
allurine aspect.
North Carolina has adopted the
Torrens system and it has resulted
in marvellous progress for that srate.
In short definition of the system it
may be stated that it simply means
the guarantee by the state of land
titles. The first work is one of ex'
tensive character, but after the fu.
ture management is simplicity it.
self. After the titles are once es-
tablished and recognized by the state
the owner is given certificate to
this effect, similar to stock certi6-
cate in a corporation. When the
sale, or transfer of the land is made
the owner acts as though transfer
ring a stock certificate and the clerk
of court issues new certificate.
Under the present method the cost
of establishing and maintaining IT,
ties is too great. Let the legisla-
ture get busy right now and devote
some time to thinking and studying
this proposition and make it law.
1t will cost something, but it will
mean infinitely more than its cost
to the state.-Augusta Chronicle.
