The Falcon is in receipt of commu-
nication from State Forester II. s.
Maddox in which he warns Of the dam
age done by forest fires, but we are
not publishing it for the reason that
this county has but little to lose by
such fires and further that they are
infrequent. But The Falcon can well
change the forester's warning to one
against field fires. Thru the past
winter thousands Of acres in this
county have been burned over by rab-
bit hunters and the lards thus deprived
of tons of vegetable matter that should
be allowed to fall and decay. returning
to the soil some of its lost fertility.

valuable kind but it hes : value and

you hear boy or a young man complain
that he has no chance, take him by the

never was time in the worlds
history when there were more OPP

when little intelligence and determin-

In the fight now being waged at
Nashville between the Lea and the
Anti-Lea forces for control of the new
state board of elections, it is our belief
that 10th sides should be defeated so
badly that not vestige of power or
control over that board will rest with
either. Those who seek control Of the
election machinery of this or any other
state do so for personal advantage
that such control will bring them, and
if such leaders as seek this power sue
coed it can be guaranteed that the cleo
tons will not register the will of the
electorate. 1t is rather a bad situation
that the congressional delegation of this
state would spend these weeks in Nash

Are you helping the efforts being
made in this city to establish a Young
Mems Christian Association? This is
movement calculated to do a work that
no other organization can do. The
mind of the young must work every
waking hour. If it is not furnished
with beneficial exercise that keeps
mind and body engaged then it will
find some other exercise. Fill every
minute of time with something worth
while and the young man grows into
habits of thrift and good works. Fail
TO furnish these conditions and he drifts
into idleness and habits we must lead

much good to the town. The meeting

when every farmer in the South
eats bread from his own field, meat
from his own pasture, vegetables from
his own garden, fruit from his own
orchard and butter and milk from his
own dairy; caring for his crops in his
own wisdom and growing them in in
dependence; making cotton a surplus
crop and selling it in his chosen mar
ket in his own time. for cash and not
for a receipted mortgage-then the
South will begin to realize the fullness
of her opportunities" These words
came from Henry w. Grady some forty
years ago and the south then proceeded
to raise fewer hogs. horses, cattle,
sheep and poultry and more cotton than
ever.

That family which is provided with a
first class garden turnout the coming
summer will live much more
cheaply and have a more heslthful
diet than the one not having a good
home garden. 1t is time right now
to start the garden. In fact many
things should have been planted before
now, but if they have not been it means
a loss of only few weeks as early
planted vegetables can not grow much
till warm spring weather, while those
planted now will get good start and
grow right along. Whether farmer or
town man. few citizens of this county
can afford not to have a garden. AS a
matter Of fact most people in the coun-
ty have a spring garden, but it should
be so managed that it will supply an
abundant supply Of vegetables turnout
the summer and fall, and it can be so
managed easily, tho it takes a coed
deal of work, and work at the right
time, too. Get good rich spot of
ground ready now and plant /. to such
vegetables as your family like best and
keep close tab on expenses and receipts
from it and see If it is not the best pay

Prof. w. r. Seay is planning an ex-

school work to be held this fall and in
his efforts he should receive the hearty
cooperation of every farmer and
business man in the county. His
work is telling for good among farm
boys and girls and in a few years il
will be noticeable in every community

more interest be given to this work

common is the custom of burning these
when they. toe, should be returned to
