which the farmers of the county will
doubtless read with interest 1t is as
follows:
III Is very easy matter to see, as
one goes over Iaurcns county now,
that the greatest problem confronting
the farmers of our county is that of
soil fertility. There is Il vast acreage
or our corn and cotton in the county
on which the owner, after paying seed
and fertilizer bills and allowing fair
price for his work. will barely break
even after the years work is summed
up. We occasionally sec fields (morc
often patchcs) where there is Il very
fine crop, say Il bale of cotton or 30
to 40 bushels of corn per acre. On
these there will be splendid returns

from France and from the home com

made suitable for wear again. The first
preliminary sorting is done outside. WHARF
the sacks as they come in are ernptied.
This is not a savory job; the boots are
usually thick with mud; some have the
soles dropping off. and others are fillad
with rotten straw or an ola sock that the
man had stuffed in to ease his feet. All
OF them to the unintiated eye look totally
unfit for further use. But the sorters
know better. Their trained hands ana

There are 206 women employed in this

gagged in jam and pickle factories. but
preferred work that linked them more
closely to the fighting units There are

Teach Children Thrift.

We Americans are VIGOROUSLY the
most thriftless of peoples. You have
heard how much we throw away. We
are too prone to think of thrift as stin-
giness. We hate to hear about saving.
Dorothy Garfield Fisher in her recent
book, Self Reliance" gives parents q
strong word of warning. She says:
"There is nothing in the fact of being
children which need cut off our sons
and daughters from a great deal of ac-
curate information and considerable
practical experience with the ms and
outs OF wise money spending. But
there is great deal in the fact Of their
being Americans which will shut them
off from such information and expert
ence unless parents make very deter
mined effort to see that they get the
proper training, for the whole spirit of
our country and age is against us In
the effort
