now the doctor, himself, falls a prey

said to be acted with spontaneity and

Better Farming i'm the South
FOOD AS WELL AS COTTON
THE NATION ASKS OF DIXIE
Well As Cotton
Not Favmerome Guards Defense Great Army
From the Farm Service Bureau.

In time of war the interests OF the
army come first. Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains, ammu-
nitions and army freight in general
At such times the wants Of people can
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will, therefore, prepare against
1t.
The Southern farmer is facing this
situation. What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil
lions of dollars worth of food prod
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because of
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result of a
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed?
Where would the Southern farmer who
possibilities are, therefore, confronted.
They are probabilities IL immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such a disaster be fore
stalled? Only by the Southern farm
ar growing foodstuffs as well as cot
ton. He can do it. 1t is his duty to
do it. 1t is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece of work he will be
enc of the most useful units in the
army of defense.
At this time it is as important for
the Southern farmer to enlist to pro
duce food crops as it is for the young
men of the South to enlist as soldiers.
1t will be easy to get men for the army
u should be easy to get men to raise
farm crops. Let Southern farmers
rally 30 the call. Let them become
Home Guards by producing this sum-
ner such crops as corn, cowpeas,
sweet potatoes, beans, sorghum. pea
nsts, soy beans, velvet beans and such
garden crops as tomatoes. turnips,
cabbage. onions. Irish potatoes - by
raising hogs, poultry - by producing
eggs, milk, butter by preserving
berries. fruits, vegetables and do
all this not only for themselves, but
produce enough to have some to sell.
Efficiency and maximum crops are
what the national leaders are calling
DIR. This means making every lick
csuAt to the utmost. 1t means good

Emergency Crops

AS guide in meeting the crisis,
which is now confronting the South.
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage Of
cotton per plow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield Lint will
bring a good price, and seed will prove
valuable because of their oil. On a
25acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
of cotton may be given each plow, and
it is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over To pasture or gathered for feed.
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
of vegetables This will give total
of rs acres, and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately af-
ter some Of these are harvested
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared /;
the best known varieties used; the
right kind and liberal amounts of fer
tilizer applied, and thorough cultiva-
tion given.
This is of special Importance over
much of the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 600 pounds of fertil-
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at
the time the land was being prepared.
IL Is recommendd that liberal side
application OF fertilizer be used ON all
crops already planted. Increase OF crop
yields will come with increase in Quan-
tity Of fertilizer used.

Down the dim, voiceiess valley, alone;
And hear not the fall of footstep
Around me, save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
AS hovers where angels have flown.

Whose music my heart could not win;
Long ago was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago was weary of places
Where met but the human and sin.

But caught mere glimpse of its blue;
And wept when the clouds of the mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my view.
And toiled on. heart t-tired of the human,
And moaned mid the mazes of men,
Till knelt long ago at an altar,
And heard Voice call me; since then

An echo, MY heart shall be thine. -

That fall on the roses in May;

And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till eacn finds a word for a wing,
That to hearts, like the Dove of the Deluge,
A message of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are billons
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have heard dreams in the VALLEY
Too lofty for language to reach
And have seen thoughts in the valley;
All, me! how my spirit was stirred,
And they wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard.
They pass thru the valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word
Do you ask me the place of the valley
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care?

And God and His angels are there;
And one is the dark Mount of Sorrow,
And one the bright Mountain of Prayer
