keep farmers from sowing grain.
While the agricultural department
advises us that it is rather late to
SOW oats Uncle J. Gid Morris tells us
that he has made 50 bushels per
acre when planted in January and
February, and as good wheat as he
ever made when sown in December
and January.
Raising plenty of corn. oats, wheat
hay and in fact all home supplies is
the only thing that will keep cot
ton up to 20 cents or make it profit
able at that price.
Yes, just so, and it's going to be
just as is being predicted we see

Mr.. Carl Davis was one of the prize
winners in the corn club contest.
We attended the boys corn club
gathering at the courthouse also
their EXHIBIT at the show room and was
very much impressed with the way
ia which the great majority of those
boys drank in the talks made to them
the best one in our judgement being
made by our Solicitor General. Col.
E. H. Clay. They seemed to grasp
what he said very ready; it was
down where they could reach it. Some
Of the talks were in an unknown ton
que. We endorse Aliens plan to have
some farmers to talk to the farmer
boys and some of the corn club boys
to tell the club boys how they did
their work AID accomplished such
wonderful results. No one knows
how any individual succeeded in
growing 50 bushels of corn per acre
at an average cost Of 33c except the
boy who did it with the possible ex-
ception CT his daddy CT maybe his
near neighbor. Why not let the most
successful ones tell all the rest just
what they did to succeed-that in
deed would be a farmer boys meeting
DON'T YOU SEE.
