WILD OATS

Some wild oats will grow in the fall
but not all If than. Those that sprout
in the fall viii not live through the
winter. 1t has been found at the North
Dakota Experiment Station that wild
oats buried over five inches deep and
lose their termination will not grow in
two years. Where the soil is more
loose and mellow this depth will likely
be six inches. A good way to combat
the wild oats Is to SOW down to grass,
clover or alfalfa. The wild oats that
are shallowe1 than five inches will
grow, but win be cut in cutting the
crop for hay and the deeply buried
ones will die before the land is plow-
ed again.-A.a-Agri Elk.

DIES AT III YEARS.

cambridge, July 1S-When aunt"
Clindy Butler died in the Pine Hill
district OF Decatur county this week.
the oldest inhabitant of the county and
possibly of the state had passed away.
Aunt" Clindy claimed to be Ill years
old and some OF her relatives insist
ed that she was still older.
1t seems reasonably certainy that
the old woman was we'll over the cen
fury mark, for she remembered when
ode white folks went away to fight de
British"-referring to the war OF 1872.
She was a grown woman when the
stars fell in the early thirties.
"Auu," Clindy came from South Car
DINA to this county as slave woman
in the forties and had cut lived all her
Children except one son, Andrew But
Ter, one OF the oldest men in the coun-
ty. She remained vigorous and ac-
tive throughout all the long years OF
her life and recalled with vividness
events q the earlier years of her life.

TOBACCO CROP RUINED
REPORT IN DECATUR

cambridge, July 1S.-It is believed
that the Flint river has done its worst
as there has been practically no rise
in the last twelve hours. 1t is expect
ed tina. it will begin falling by morn
ing. Reports from the western part
of the county state that the Chatta-
hoochee has begun failing, while the
Spring creek began to show decline
yesterday.
Decatur county has no doubt suf-
fered more than any other Georgia
county in account of having three
large streams flowing through it with
frontage of at least fifty miles on
each. The Chattahoochee touches on
but one side, but perhaps more good
lands lie along that river than either
of the others. Reports from there
state large numbers OF fine live stock
were lost, the bodies of fine Jersey
COWS being seen floating down the
stream While all the farmers have
lost because of the rains, it is probable
that the tobacco men have faced the
greatest loss. Their crop is almost
total loss and some are near ruin.
Those who planted heavily in cotton
also suffered greatly. Live stock men,
except those along the river bottoms,
excaped with the least damage.
