Fight Weevil With Bees.

In the matter of preparing for the
coming of the boil weevil, The Ad-
yertiser, man is trying along all
tines to practice what he breaches.
We have decided that the busy
bee" will be one effective way of
overcoming the weevil. The two
colonies of bees which we purchased
the other day will after awhile help
us to keep down the high cost of
living, being especially helpful af
ter the two colonies have multiplied
into a dozen colonies. We sug-
gest that every farmer try fighting
the weevil with bees, not arraying
the bees against the weevils, as the
Germans are against the English,
but by adopting bee culture as one
form of farm diversifcation. All
you have to do is to make proper
provision for the bees and then let
them alone-and, from experience,
we advise letting them alone.

The Men Who Followed Lee

From the cotton and the cornfelds;
From the mountains 10 the sea,
At the battle cry of freedom
Came the men who followed Lee.
How they starved and fought and suf'
fered
In their effort to be free
Many bloody field bears witness
To the men who followed Lee.
Well, they bore the flag of glory
Through defeat and victory,
And their children tell the story
OF the men who followed Lee.
But now the gentle "taps" are sound
ing,
And soon asleep will be
All the heroes of the Southland
The brave men who followed Lee.
But they'll awaken in the morning
At the angels reveille
And stand with him in glory
All the men who followed Lee.

Others Should Do Likewise.

Mr.. Lester Talbert, Mr.. Charlie
Jones and some other good citizens
of the Antioch section dragged a
considerable portion of the public
road leading to Edgefeld Saturday.
As soon as the weather permits,
citizens IN other sections of the
county should follow their exam
pie. As The Advertiser has said
before, it is unreasonable to expect
the supervisor with his limited force
to cover all the public roads of the
county whenever work is needed.

Invest In Homes.

Let us hope that with the increase
in income from farms this year,
largely caused by better prices of
farm products, that it will mean,
among other things, beginning in
owning a farm. Let us hope many
have bought homes and made at
least small payments on them, that
others will do so as a result of
greater prosperity in the country.
There are many advantages in
owning the farm. Not the leass of
these is the greater incentive for
improving the place and taking
greater interest in the roads, the
schools and the churches. 1t is hui
man nature for men to take more
interest in their own property than
rented or leased property. And all
of US need stimulus for greater in
terest IN soil building; we need
plans for future crops. When we
expect the farm TO be our nome we
are not reluctant to spend something
for improvements.
There is no better way 70 save
something from year to year than to
invest in a home. A few acres Of
land with comfortable home will
be an incentive for economy and
perseverance. In order that the
payments may be met the manager
will make plans and use his utmost
skill and knowledge to meet his OBJ
legations.
The city wage-earner is thinking
more of savings and it is well that
he should. Let those who have no
farms make beginning. There
are many farms for sale and terms
are reported better than formerly.
Why not buy now?-Farm q Ranch.
