GOOD CROP SIGN.

This is a blackberry year" and a blackberry
year in this region indicates a propitious crop, says
the esteemed Aberdeen Examiner. Dame nature is
with the dew berries and blackberries.
They are here, there and everywhere in enormous
abunance, affording delicious food to all classes, at
a time when nature calls for favorable change. To
many a poor creature with his basket of berries
ready market, come the many little comforts
Inattainable.

REPLY OF GOVERNOR BREWERS COMMITTEE.

REPLY OF GOVERNOR BREWERS COMMITTEE.
Greenwood, Miss, June 8, 1915.
Hon. 7. M. MILESTONE and DR.. j. A. Kennedy, Committee
for Senator Russell, Greenwood, Miss.
Gentlemen:
In reply to your letter of this date, regarding the joint
debate between Governor Brewer and Senator Russell, will
say that We agree with you that three hours is the proper
time for the debate, and this is Governor Brewers appoint
ment, and we, the committee representing the people who
invited Governor Brewer here at this time, authorized him,
if he saw proper, to inyite Senator Russell here to meet
him in joint debate, and we are informed that he extended
him this invitation yesterday at Ecru, publicly, and told him
that he should have an equal division of time, if he came,
and also told him that he would not give him the close.
We now offer Senator Russell one-half of the time
and that is the first half.
If he is unwilling to this, then let Governor Brewer
open with a speech of one hour, and Senator Russell to fol-
low with one hour and thirty minutes, and Governor Brewer
to close with thirty minutes.
We are reliably informed that Senator Russell has
Deen appearing at Governor Brewers dates, and urging a
DIVISION OF time, and has not been satisfied with an equal d.
vision OF time, but has wanted to dictate the terms and
ernor should use, and at the last five appointments has been
given the closing time before he would speak, and w do
not deem it fair or just for him to come to Gov. Brewers
appointments and undertake to dictate how the Governor
We intend to be perfectly fair to him, and offer him an
equal division Of time, but shall insist that he take the first
half of the time of three hours, Or that Governor Brewer be
permitted to open and close the debate.
There is no use of extended negotiations about this.
Let him accept or reject. Yours truly,
". T. MATHEWS,
j. A. TYSON,
A F. ARDNE

One Mississippi editor arises sand sarcastical-
lJremarks that he wants to buy a sack of flour, a
pair of shoes and a straw hat. and he is ready to
the lowest bids for the same. He states
that some Of his town merchants treat him this way
when they want q worth Of printing done.

The Memphis News-Scimitar says that
Roumania, Greece, Bulgaria and Holland
will find the doors stretched wide open if
they want to join the allies. The prince of
Monaco, with his army Of seventeen police
men, might close Monte Carlo temporarily
and send his troops to the front.

There will be quite a number of names
added to the above list prior to the first of
July, but when the books are purged of
those not qualified to vote under the law
the number will be reduced to about 1z5O
who will be entitled to vote at the August
primary elections.

Senator Russell would not accept either
Of the two absolutely fair propositions made
by Governor Brewers committee, conse-
quently there was no joint debate.
The truth of the matter is, Senator Rus
sell didn't want a joint debate with Govern
or Brewer unless he could dictate the terms
of same, which the committee representing
Gov. Brewer fatty refused to permit.

CONGRESSMAN B. G. Humphreys made

Z Congressman B. G.. Humphreys made
an able and instructive speech to a good
audience of our people at the Greenwood
Theatre last Monday evening-being intro
duced in a few wellchosen remarks by Hon.
E. L.. Mounger. Mr.. Humphreys gave mis-
appreciative hearers a review of the most
important matters that had been up for
consideration in Congress, frankly and sat-
isfactorily giving his reasons for voting for
the Panama Canal tolls bill, the Ship Pur7
chase bill, etc., and the audience evidenced
their hearty approval of his positions on
same by literally applauding his clear ex-
PLANTATION of these important measures.
In order that all of our people may get
to read Mr.. Humphreys splendid speech we
will publish it in full in The Commonwealth
next week.

the man Bilbo and his c~oat-tail riders" His
speech was not concluded until eleven o'clock
and for about three hours he held the strict
attention of the splendid audience with the
masterful presentation of his defense of his
administration. No speaker was ever given
a more courteous or attentive hearing, and
his remarks We're frequently interrupted
with outbursts of prolonged applause, and
his speech was unquestionably we'll received,
At the conclusion Of the Governors speech
large numbers of the great audience went
forward and congratulated him upon his
superb address, and he was given a perfect
ovation.
The Governor made the greatest speech
that has been delivered here in a number of
years; it was eloquent, forcible ard effee-
tive, and made for him a great many new
friends and admirers among our people. He
clearly demonstrated that he is one Of Mis-
slsslppls ablest statesmen, and there is no
question about the fact that if he is enabled

State that both Bilbosand Russell viii be de-
feated BY large majorities /

The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1915-04-30
PLANTING FOR HOME SUPPLIES
Andrew M. Soule President Georgia State College of
Agriculture
Agriculture.

A garden in Georgia can be made
to provide from one to five kinds of
vegetables for table use for every day
in the year. The surplus of almost
all of these crops can be dried or
canned for winter use. Thus the cost
of feeding the family can be greatly
lessened and a much greater variety
given in the dietary.
The farmer should next direct his at
tention to providing such food as is
necessary for the maintenance, first of
his work stock, then of his cows and
such other cattle beasts as he may
maintain, and for his hogs and poul-
try. Two ideas should be kept in
mind in planting areas for these pur-
poses. First, provision should be
made for an abundance of hay and
green feed and for suitable amount
OF supplemental grain. The wide
awake farmer who planted cereals
last fall will have enough oats and
other grain to supplement the corn he
may produce this summer. 1t is de-
sirable that each head of work stock
be provided with 100 bushels of corn
or its equivalent. II fifty bushels of
oats have been grown for each head
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1915-04-30

of live stock, then only fifty bushels
of corn would be required Figuring
the corn to yield on the basis of TWEEN
ty-eight bushels to the acre, 2 IL to
5 acres of corn should be grown for
each head of live stock. Remember
that the cornstalks if harvested will
provide good food for both horses
and cattle.
AS to hay, that from cowpeas, cow
peas and millet or cowpeas and sor-
ghum cannot be excelled under aver
age conditions prevailing in Georgia.
OF course, excellent hay can be made
from cutting oats in the dough stage.
For cows an abundance of clean
roughage should be provided. Corn
stalks, sorghum fodder, cowpeas and
millet, soy beans or any other forage
crop can be used to advantage with
this class of animals. While a little
corn can be fed to some advantage to
the few milk cows maintained on the
average farm, we are disposed to
think that the cotton seed should be
exchanged for meal and fed to this
class of animals, and that this prac-
tice will nearly always be found of
advantage to the farmer.
