Lively Runaway

As Alfred Smith was driving in
Monday morning from his farm, the
|. G passenger was too near to risk
the lower crossing, and he turned up
east Of the railroad as it passed,
when his gentle (?) family horse took
fright and ran to the upper crossing,
and as the buggy struck the track on
curve one wheel went down, throw
ing Mr.. Smith across the switch.
Fortunately he struck the ground on
smooth place. When assistance got
to him he was unconscious. but came
to by the time he got home. Outside
of the shock he was not seriously
hurt, and was able to be up in the
afternoon. The buggy was found in
pieces here and there to Mr.. Princes,
where the horse was caught, His
auto would not have acted SO badly.

Following up the suggestions made
in your columns some time ago as to
starting stock company for the
raising Of live stock in McNairy
county. it may be said that this sort
of scheme Is by no means news, al
though it is only recently that it has
been talked of very much. The con-
tinued high price of farm produce
has revived many plans of that kind.
and several recent ventures are told
of by the newspapers. | suggested a
capital stock Of $4,000 for the Nc
Marry corporation. | read in a Flor.
ida paper the other day, of a farming
stock company recently organized in
Marion county, in that state, with a
capital stock of $3.50, 900. and since
then read of a company in North
Carolina that has millions pack OF IL,
organized to raise hogs and cattle and
general farm products, and there is
no doubt that the recently enacted
rural credits bill which provides for
loans to farmers on long time and at
low interest, will greatly stimulate
the formation Of these companies
Ten members are required to form a
borrowing company, and they car
get loan amounting to half the
market value of their land. Those
interested should write to the Secre'
tary of the Treasury, Washington. D

With all the cry of high prices,
heard on every hand, there is a
remedy, and but one: Learn to
do without that which is too high
for you to buy. An ordinary fair
liver would be foolish to buy a
$4,000 necklace. A rich woman
would think it a trivial matter,
because she was able. If you
cannot afford eggs at 40 cents, dc
not buy them. If you can afford
it, and want them, buy them.
So with everything entering into
the daily expenses of the house
hold. Learn to do without and
to substitute.

LITTLE GIRL NOW
PLAYS LIKE OTHERS
Capt. 7. N. HarreIl says Tanlac
gave his child health.

1T wouldn't be doing right not to
tell you what your medicine has done
for our little GIRL" said Captain 7. M.
Harrell, of Atlanta, conductor on the
Seaboard Air Line for 25 years and
one of the most popular men in the
service.
"She's II years DID," he continued,
land has been a little sufferer all her
life weak, punY, nervous, no appe-
tite, no control over her kidneys and
had headaches almost all the time.
THE child never was strong, even
from the cradle, and when she got a
little older and would try to play with
the other children and was too weak
to romp and keep up with them, it just
didn't seem right for she seemed so
anxious to be with them and do as
they did. Itmade me mighty sad and
brought many a big lump into M
throat to see her that way. and some-
how | could never get used to it.
There was nothing on earth too
goo,l for her, and we did everything
we could think of to try and rid her
of the pains and weakness and make
her like other children; but nothing
seemed to do her any good.
1t has always been a great worry
to get something for her to eat that
would agree with her, and it was dis
heartening job. too, for almost every
thing would give her heartburn or
sour stomach or cause her to wake up
in the night with pains. We'd try
first one thing after another, and
when everything would fail we would
feel disheartened and helpless.
There is nothing quite so oppres-
sive as a feeling that gets hold of you
when a little one Of your own flesh
and blood is sick and helpless and de-
pending on you, and you can't find
anything on earth to help them.
Il saw in the paper where Tanlac
was helping so many women and
elderly people with delicate vital or
gans, and who were in weak and run
down condition, and as | studied over
the matter didn't see why it
wouldn't help children; so | got the
child a bottle. for | believed it was
the right thing.
Il just can't tell you how much
good it has done her, for she seems
like different child. She's picking
up weight and strength right along,
has control over her kidneys and sleeps
and eats as well as any youngster L
ever saw.
'Tanlac has given my Child health
and happiness, dc believe, and | don't
think there is anything like it in the
world. She now plays and romps like
the others and is just crazy about her
Tanlac. Just now she phoned me,
from our home in Ingleside to be sure
and get her a new bottle.
"She goes to school now, is jolly
and playful and enjoys life"

cousin, DR.. Gerry Sanders, saw
where my father had worked in an.
other lanyard. Of which no trace now
remains except the little spring
branch where the water was pro.
cured to run the vats. People used
to card their own wool, spin it and
weave it, and make their own shoes,
Now, the tanning of leather, cardipg
and spinning of wool, weaving, and
nearly everything else in the way OF
productive industry, is done on big
scale by machinery-not so we'll in
some cases as it used to be, but much
quicker and even cheaper.
With big capital, the land of farms
can be better cultivated with less
money than is now possible. Steam.
electric and gasoline plows will do
more in an hour than single horse
and plow can do in week, and do it
better. The water of floods will be
stored up to use in dry times, and the
planting and harvesting of crops will
be carried on by machinery better
and quicker than can be done by hand
The markets will be better controlled,
the quality of produce improved, and
storage facilities increased so as to
distribute produce more evenly
throughout the various seasons. Sci
ence will make the farming interests
more independent of the weather,
providing drainage or protection from
floods in big rains, and irrigation in
dry seasons, as we'll as protection
against frosts, plant diseases and in
sects. Food and clothing should be-
come cheaper and better, as man
learns to diversity his crops and pro-
duce them at less cost. At the same
time, farm lands will increase in
value, and then man who owns 100
acres in McNairy will be esteemed
as well-to-do. An intelligent Nc
Marian wrote me the other day: Il
am poor man, and own 600 acres of
poor land, but it is all paid for" |
hope that man will live to see his
land worth ten times its present price,
and to live the rest of his days in
plenty while syndicate is working
his farm on shares under long lease
and paying him more each year than
he ever made from it.
And what will the average farmer
do then? Let's see about that. he
will be getting more money from his
land, and his living will cost him less
that is, his food and clothing. It
will require fewer people to do the
work, and a lot of land owners will
have plenty of time to run around in
their automobiles or air-planes, see-
ing sights and learning the secrets of
nature and Of all sorts Of science.
Many of them will make the mistake
of coming to live in a great beehive
of humanity like this, and their lives
will be shortened thereby. They will
be prosperous, but will it make them
happier or better?

peas, but only few are grown ex- tensively. among which are Whippeor- will, New Era, Iron, Brabham, Clay, Red Ripper and Buckeye. The Iron and ,Brabham are resistant to wilt and to root-knot, and should be grown where these diseases are prevalent.
 Among the soy beans, the ones most commonly handled in a commercial way are the Ito San, Medium Yellow, Haberlandt, Hollybrook and Nam moth Yellow, although there are sev- eral other splendid varieties. The little Ito San is extremely early, ma turing seed in about seventy-five days. The Mammoth Yellow is the latest of them all, but will mature seed if not planted too late in the summer.
 The method of planting these crops depends upon the use that is to be made of them. For pasturing off they nay be planted in the corn row at he second working. by broadcasting IT drilling between the rows at the ast working, or by making the rows of corn wide apart and planting TOW of cowpeas or soy beans between them The yield of corn is not de- creased much. if any and the addi- tienalt pasture is source of profit. When seeded alone. soy beans should be planted in rows and cultivated. while cowpeas will shade the ground sufficiently to keep down the weeds. Sorghum is often mixed with cowpeas, especially for hay and for grazing; but if cut for hay care must be taken to use varieties of each that will be ready to harvest at about the same time-for example, the New Era cow pea and the Amber sorghum. The usual rate of seeding cowpeas and soy beans is about peck to the acre in rows, or a bushel when broadcasted or drilled thickly. although the amount may be a little lighter for those varieties that have the smaller seeds
 One or both of..the crops should he grown on every farm in the South because they are not only profitable from feed standpoint, but they play a HDiS pdli III httplu6 uH tue 5itJtiiIlt of the soil For every ton, dry weight, or crop grown on average soil at least $500 worth of nitrogen will be taken from the air and stored up in the soil and the plant, or as much as would be added in 1,600 pounds of ordinary 8-2-2 fertilizer.
 Tests show that the roots of these
 
 plants constitute only about 10 per cent of the whole. so that the great est amount of fertility can be secured only by pasturing them off on the soil, by turning them under, or by feeding and returning the manure. A relatively small amount of vegetable matter will be Jeff in the soil if the crop Is cut for hay and removed
