RICE A PROLIFIC
CROP IN TERRELL
YIELD OF ESQ BUSHELS MADE
ON IRREGULARITIES OF AN
ACRE. MACHINERY PUT IN.

The Terrell county farmers, or at
least some of them, have added an
other product to their scheme of di-
versifcation and taken another step
toward living at home
Last spring, to further encourage
the farmers of this section to raise
all the food used on their tables,
Hon. j. R. Mercer bought large
supply of seed rice and inserted an
advertisement in The News that he
would sell it at cost for planting pur-
poses. He then equipped his large
flour and grist mill with machinery
for cleaning rice.
And now he is beginning to see
the fruits Of his efforts in that di-
rection for the public good. Many
planted rice, and the harvest has
been abundant.
A few days ago a negro who
planted one peck of rice brought a
quantity to mill, and stated that
from a of an acre on which he plant
ed that peck he has gathered 81
bushels. Mr.. Mercer has also had a
remarkable yield, gathering $50 bush
els of rice from three-quarters of an
acre Of land on which he sowed three
fourths of a bushel. This patch of
rice was one of the show places of
Dawson, many people coming from
other counties to see it.

PLEADS FOR BIGGER
WHEAT AND DAT CROP
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT TERRELL
COUNTY FARMERS GROW
ENOUGH FOR OWN USE.

Editor Dawson News: Owing to
the great necessity for an increase
IN wheat and oats | feel it necessary
to write once more in behalf of these
two crops. 1t is not that the depart
ment wishes the farmers of this state
to grow any wheat and oats to sell.
but above all it wishes the South to
raise enough of these two crops so
that the crops grown in the West
may be diverted to other places in
stead of being shipped here.
All indications go to show that if
we don't grow enough of these two
crops to supply home needs we will
be forced to go without, or pay an
outrageous price for them.
Now is the time to get the grain in
the soil while we have plenty of
moisture there to sprout the seed. 1t
also stands a much better chance in
case OF a cold winter than the later
planted grain.
l believe that the lands of Terrell
county are too we'll adapted to the
growing of these two products for
you to try to grow cotton under
present conditions to buy wheat and
oats needed for home use. 1t requires
very little work to grow and gather
these crops as compared with some
of our other staple crops. | believe
that if the farmers of Terrell would
plant two acres of wheat and three
acres of oats to the pillow, each year,
it would be only short time until
this county would be self-sustaining
IN every respect.
Hoping that the people will support
this move as they did the food move
ment when called upon to do so last
spring, and thus respond to the re-
quest of the department of agricul-
ture, am respectfully,
j. L. ALLEN, County Agent.
