EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Seems little strange that the South
is leading IN the number Of states urg-
ing woman suffrage he fore legislatures.
Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Ckla-
homa, Tennessee, &0uth Carolina,
Georgia, Florida. Moth Carolina and
Virginia are anon ne states of the
conservative Soutt which have peti-
toned the legislat res for political re-
cognition of woneu. In some of these
states much fav able sentiment de-
veloped for the m,u5Ire. and the even
tual extension OF poman suffrage in all
the South is assured.

Improve Your
Land.

We often hear the question,
"Nhat kind of fertilizer must
use to improve my land" The
answer is always the same
You can't improve your land
with fertilizers. You must grow
crops of legumes aud other
green crops and turn them IN
der or apply stable manure. We
can't get enough of the latter
and must depend on growing
crops and turning under. Pre-
pare yourself 10 SOW crimson
clover in your corn in July or
August to be turned the follow
ing May for corn. y good crop
of crlmso clover turned under
is worth $4,000 per acre to the
land.
Commercial fertilizers are
only helps, and the farmer who
depends on them will grow
poorer in the long run, Just as
his land gets poorer after each
crop. Fertilizers should always
be scattered and mixed with
the soil aud never dropped in
hand fulls near tine hills. The
roots of plants grow in every
direction and, why should we
put a little pile of fertilizer up
near where the roots Join: The
root tips are the active feeding
organs, and plant food should
he scattered so as to stimulate
the growth Of these root tips.
Do not use more than 1870 or
at most 200 pounds of fertilizer
in the corn drill per acre. put
on an equal amount between
tho rows, scattered or by run
ming up and down the rows, /
foot from the rows, at the
second cultivation with the

We wish again to remind our
farmers to break their land

It won't work to bring up too
much of the clay subsoil at
once as it will make the land
bake during summer, but pillow
an inch deeper each year until
you make your soil deep. Hill

they will hold more water and
