1850 Sacks of Beans

Claud Craig had 375 acres of
land in beans this season from which
he harvested 1850 sacks. The num-
Der does not seem so large until it
is transposed into the value of the
crop in dollars and cents. Each
sack is worth something life sixteen
or eighteen dollars rather tidy
sum. His entire crop of grain and
beans combined brought him over
$4,000. Next year he expects to
farm about $50 acres and will plant
about 800 acres of this to beans.
He rented 24O acres from Lou
Daugherty which he will farm next
year. He also bought Mr.. Daugh-
erty's farming equipment and stock,
giving a check for $500 for same.
Mr.. Craig is without doubt the
largest individual farmer in this
section.

Raised Great Potatoes

Ben Callison tries to raise the
best of everything on his farm on
American ridge. Last week he was
showing a Melted Gem potato from
his patch that was almost perfect in
shape and had all the good points
of a prize-winner. Ben saws that he
planted his potatoes after the last
rain in June and they were prac-
tically matured before the rains
came this fall. In spite of the dry
season he has a bumper yield and
the best potatoes he has ever raised.
He dug three hills which weighed
Is pounds.
He has five acres Of potatoes on
his farm and several varieties, al
though the Melted Gem is his favor
ite. He bases his success in raising
potatoes on the fact that for ten
years he has selected the seed with
care, planting nothing but the best
that he raises each year. At dig.
ging time he picks out the gooG
ones as he goes along and then ir
the. spring before planting time
grades them again. He says in ter
years more he expects to have po
tatoes practically all the same size
and shape and that will weigh ap
proximately the standard of eight
ounces. He will store the greater
part of them this winter and sci
them for seed in the spring.
Ben brought three varieties tt
this Office Monday and they are nov
on display. They have caused ;
great deal of comment and it i
generally agreed that there is n,
other country that could produc,
such spuds without rain.
The Callison farm also produced
some splendid corn this season tha
was raised without rain after i
was planted. Several ears are il
the Gazette Office and NAV be see
any time.

A Few Dollars Down

To induce saving and to foster the
habit, every opportunity is offered
to get Liberty Bonds on easiest pay
ments. A few dollars down buys a
bond. Bankers and employers every
where will arrange terms and attend
to all the business details. Our
government treasury is like a COM
mon pot into which we put our
money from time to time when we
need it to buy something. We keep
no great surplus for idle money is
valueless. So our government is
just as rich as the people; the gov
ernment purposelv keeps it's money
in circulation among the people.
The government officials decided
that these bonds shall be sold direct
to the people without middlemen
(the bankers, while they deliver the
bonds, make no profit on any of
this issue). The bankers are sacri-
ficing their time and lending their
money because the Government has
drafted them for this patriotic SER
vice and also because they feel that
the public will appreciate the work
of the banker who proves especially
patriotic.
Those who apply for more than
81 900 land many will, Of course,
seek the largest possible share of
such a wise inyestment) will get
only an allotted share. Up to 81 900
every buyer can get all he wants.
AS soon as you have paid up in full
you get your engraved bonds.

The Kendrick Milling Co. have
