M ATTENTION!

Do not burn the corn stalks, but turn them
under ,
At this season of the year, there is a great
temptation to burn the corn stalks ahead of the
pillow.
Those who know, tell us that these same corn
stalks are pound for pound as rich in plant food
food as barnyard manure.
If you are a one-horse farmer, cooperate with
your neighbor and be a two-horse farmer while
you are breaking the land that was in corn last
year. P. P. GARNER,
