A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe: to produce all possible food.
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground.
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

Soil Best for Corn Production.

In the alluvial lands, generally speak
ing, the best corn will be produced in
the mixed soils and the distinctly sandy
loans, provided the natural supply OF
vegetable matter throughout the soil has
not been unduly depleted, CT the soil
otherwise abused by excessive cropping
and poor management.
On the bluff lands, the black or dark
brown loans that were origionally for
ested with gum, magnolia and occa-
sional poplar, will produce the largest
yields of corn.
In the pine hill section, the red clay
soils or the gray sandy loans, underlaid
with red clay and sand subsoil are the
best suited for corn production.
Any soil to produce good corn crop
must be fairly loose in texture and we'll
supplied with vegetable matter. The
soil must furnish air, moisture and min
eral matter to the plant, from which the
corn is made.-W. r. Dodson, Dean and
Director, L. S. u.

'.The majority of the negroes of this

House, over the persistent rumor that
early in his second administration
President Wilson will issue an execu.

into the civil service class. At pres.
emit only the fourth class postmasters
are under civil service.
Recently the Poindexter amendment
to the legislative bill providing for put,
ting the postmasters under civil ser,
vice after being passed by the Sen.
ate was killed off in tho House. At the
time announcement was made by Pres.
ident Wilson that he favored the
amendment.

seriously contemplated" said Sena-

the authority to do it." There are a

the contrary opinion.

he has been considering acting, pro-

incumbents, so that incompetents may
be weeded out. In large measure,
however, the action would mean that

Notwithstanding that there are coal
mines within comparatively short dis

there is again another coal famine. 1t
has been the severest winter Washing
ton has experienced in many years, but
that hardly explains why, with coal in
abundance so near, Washingtc can't
get anywhere near the supply demand
ed. 1t is subject for investigation
which congress has overlooked, which
isn't a thing that congress is in tie
habit Of doing, as committee investi-
cations go hand-in.hand with the ex-
penditure of large appropriations
merely upon the voucher Of the chair
