PLAN NOW FOR A FALL AND WINTER
GARDEN.

The farmer makes one planting of cotton and
it lasts till frost. He makes a planting of corn
and it lasts till frost. The same thing is true
with regard to tobacco, peanuts, cane, etc. And
because one planting Of field crops s%ufices, too
many farmers pursue the same policy as to garden
crops. They get into the habit of making one
planting of vegetables in the spring and then
thinking that will count for the whole year.
This is a big mistake. If you will study the
planting tables in our Reference Special you will
find recommended about half as many things for
planting in June, July, or August as in March or
April.
Every interest both of health and economy de-
mands that the average Southern farmer raise
twice as many vegetables as he now raises. In
fact, he ought to raise twice as many OF the vege-
tables he is now familiar with; and he ought to
get acquainted with a lot he doesn't now know
about. Cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, tur-
nips, peas, beans, and preparedness are about all
that many farmers know, and only one crop OF
each of these; not even a second crop of Irish po-
tatoes. 1t is time to broaden out and use more
okra, asparagus, eggplant, etc., in summer, and
more satisfy, spinach, rape, caulif1ower, ETC., in
winter. A man who eats plenty Of vegetables
naturally eats less meat and bread-or else gets
better nourished by eating the extra vegetables.
In any case, it is certain that food values can be
raised in the garden at half what they will cost
if brought in barrels, boxes, and sacks from a store
which is only another way Of saying that you
get a so per cent. discount on ~victuals by raising
them in your garden. Or if a garden could adj
yertise as business men do, it might run big an
nouncements in all the daily papers: II Sell You
the Best Food at Half Price"
Let's make all plans now for the biggest fall
and winter gardens the South has ever known
the greatest variety of crops together with heavy
fertilization and constant cultivation.-The Pro-

YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
Your local newspaper is in no sense a special
child of charity. 1t earns every dollar it receives
and is second to no enterprise in contributing to
the upbuilding and betterment of the town and
community. It's patrons reap far more benefits
from it's pages than it's publisher and in calling
for the support of the community, it asks no more
than what in all fairness belongs to it. Patronize
your home paper as you would any other enter
prise, as a matter of business, because it directly
or indirectly helps you, and not as a matter of
charity.-C. E. Miller in Apache (Okla.) Review.

The Execution OF Ignorance.

Tho Execution OF Ignorance.
Editor virginian:
sir.-when one reads and analyses
such crimes as were committed in
Charlotte county recently. he is forced
/ to realize that the saying uttered by
an ancient prophet, MY people are
destroyed for lack OF knowledge" has
again come to pass. If the state and
the church do not see that. in the
execution of the two negroes who took
the life OF white farmer, ignorance
lis being executed In the personaIti
OF the man and boy they Will not
get the lesson that will lead to the
prevention OF such crimes Doubtless
few would believe that the negroes
gave one thought to the penalty for
their crime until after 1t was perpe-
trated. Had they exercised reason at
all. they would have reached the con
clusion that 1t were far better to serve
short sentences In jail for theft of
the wheat than to subject themselves
to death by the state for killing the
man from whom they stole But
granting that they did consider the
penalty for the graver> crime. the fact
that they acted as though there was
a proba billy OF escaping is sufficient
proof that they are ignorance persona
fed
While taking their lives may ap-
pease the outraged feelings OF a com
munity, little or nothing else can be
said in favor OF such punishment AS
a deterrent 1t can have little. or no
value, for the extremely ignorant do
not read newspapers and never under
stand the vehement attitude of a com
munity In consequence of such afro
cious crimes As punishment to sat
isfy mans idea Of Justice some will
Justify the role the electric chair plays,
but as a preventive measure the teach
ers chair must perform its function
The proud boast Of the late Booker
T. Washington. Not a single graduate
OF Tuskegee institute has ever served
a sentence for crime" lends support
to the foregoing.
