PROGRESS MARKS
CRISP FARMING
COUNTY DEMONSTRATION AGENT
JOHNSON SEES MANY I'M
PRoVEMENTS UNDER WAY.

It is remarkable to notice here and
there over the county the great prog
ress being made in the removal of the
pesky stumps. Indeed, fewer acres by
many look now as if they have the
"mumps" And yet there is a world
of progress to be made along this line.
tits strange how a fellow can figure
on the necessity Of letting these rob
bers own so much of the best land in
the section.
Much to the praise Of many progress
sive farmers, there have been miles
of ditching this winter and spring to
drain valuable and heretofore idle
acres. This year will see many of
these fertile areas blushing with ex-
cellent crops. The cid hedgerows have
been pushed further back.
That change is the eternal watch
word of the day." is more evident now
than ever before in the use of more
and better farm implements. 1t seems
that there have never before in the
same length of time, gone out so many
harrows on the farms of this section.
1t is certainly true that the excellent
preparations of seed beds this year
have not been equalled before. 1t is
fine to see ten acres narrowed this
RI 10 CT
To go along with these better homes
for the crops, we hear Of better seed
being planted We hear of men who
are doing field selection of corn and
cotton seed.
Steps are being taken as never be-
fore to fill these old hungry soils with
the roots of leguminous plants in or
der to pack the high priced element
of nitrogen in them from the boun-
tiful supply in the atmosphere. 1t
will be great for this section If we
will only keep up the pace that will
soon be started with velvet beans, soy
beans, cowpeas and peanuts. This eX-
cellent thing of filling to running over
these fields with the vegetable mattor
will prove a blessing beyond belief.
Just to chuck this free nitrogen and
bundles of vines into these plowed
areas will make a fellow laugh when
he sees how very materially the bur
den of commercial fertilizers will be
lightened. And then more cattle will
be maintained and the soil made still
richer
Three cheers for increased atten-
ton to the growing of velvet beans
and cowpeas May their tribe ever In
crease.

al reception which has been rendered
them in any county Of the state.
At Donalsonville, in Decatur coun
ty. more people passed through the
cars in one day than at any place
since the cars have been out on their
tour and the action OF the cambridge
Board of Trade is another evidence o.
the remarkably live and aggressive
spirit which pervades the life of the
whole county.
Quimby Melton, the secretary of the
Bainbridge Beard of Trade, is devel-
oping into one of the Invest CONNER
,cial secretaries in the state. Like so
many commercial secretaries, he has
gone into the work from the newspa
per side, having for some time been
associated with the Americas Time

100000 Fathers
KILLED DURING WAR

Paris, Feb. 25.-Eight hundred thou.
sand French children have been made
fatherless by the war, according to q
statement made by Senator Jenovrier
in a debate in the senate. This num-
Der exceeds by 10 per cent the average
total births in France. Half the child
hood of France, he estimates, will be
brought up without a parental guide,
The government and the senate are
considering how they shall be cared
for. A bill prepared by the govern
ment and somewhat modified by the
public instruction committee of the
senate declares in principle that the
state shall assume the expense Of
bringing up and educating every child
whose father has either been killed
or disabled by the war. The wards
of the nation" they are to be called,
and special guardians are to be pro-
vided for them under the provisions
Of the bill under discussion. The spe-
cial guardians are to be appointed by
committees in each department under
the general supervision Of central
committee. A mother who accepts the
patronage Of the state for her child
Or children must accept the guardian
ship of a person outside her family
This provision has encouraged the
opposition of the Conservative and
Catholic members of the senatep who
sec in it a rupture Of the sacred
union" or parties and a measure des-
tined to political end through the
facial education of children of Cath
Ollie parents.
Under the law Of separation Of
church and state, the government
could not give child religious in
.5truction Moreover, it is pointed out
the child's bringing up under the pat
ronage of the state would be largely
supervised and controlled by the pre-
fects who are the recognized political
agents Of the government. The Con
servatves demand for mothers the
aid of the state and at the same time
the right and the facilities for giving
their children such religious instruc-
ton as they see fit. Under the pres
ent laws half orphans would have no
relief whatever if the mother refused
the condition offered by the state
since pensions are allowed to full or
phans only. 1t has been proposed to
remedy this deficiency by a special law
now under consideration in the Cham
Der of Deputies. II compromise is
rot reached by the senate during the
war, it is deemed certain that the con
tention will revive the struggle be-
tween the Catholics and the other ele-
mcnts of Parliament after hostilities
have ceased.
