AN ANSWER FROM THE INFANTS

1t seems to have created quite a
commotion up in the III. s. room for
the 18th and sth grades to be able to
share their abode. so 10 does seem a
little queer for us (the infants) to be
up there with so many big folks. 1t
seems strange that such large and
overgrown folks are still going to
school. trying to learn something. But
big folks. its no use. some OF you are
too old. You remember it's hard to
teach an old dog new tricks. Infants +:
Yes, we probably look like infants to
some of you. o well. we will leave it
to the Professor. teachers or any one
about the feeble minded. Some of us
are only 10 and in the 18th. Now look
at some of you big overgrowns and
see where the feeble minded is.

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
OFFERED TO FARMERS

Atlanta, Ca. Sept. 24.-The second
Liberty Loan, to be offered for sale
between October 1 and Novemger 1,
1917, will be presented more inten-
sively in the rural sections than was
the case with the first loan.
That this is good judgment is
shown by the fact that the farmers of
the Atlanta Federal Reserve terri
tory have one billion seven hundred
millions of dollars more money than
they did at the same time year ago,
estimating their income from seven
standard crops and basing the figures
on the asst government reports, which
are as nearly as accurate as it is
humanity possible to make them.
Seventy-nine per cent Of the pop
ulation to be reached is in the coun-
try and in towns of less than $4,000
AS matter of fact, the farmers of
this country could easily absorb this
loan if they desired to take the whole
issue. The organization this time is
laid out with view to the above
purpose. The territory is divided in
to zones or districts and subdivided
into counties and cities. District
chairmen will report to the chairman
of the executive committee in At
lanta, county chairmen to their dis
trict organizations and ,other COM
mittee to their counties.

trict includes the states of Georgia

AWKElSVILLE LETTER.


The cotton crop Of Pulaski, as well
as contiguous counties, will soon be
picked out if fair weather prevails,
as has been the case for the last
month. Now what about sowing oats
next month or the month afterwards
Do you think it is a paying crop, far
mers? OF course, you will say yes,
the most of you, simply because it is
a necessity. But just how to prepare
our land and have to cover and to-
manure them, is the thing small grain
will not moisture we'll unless there is
a. season in the ground during part
of April and May. You You know it,
farmers. From my experience in the
past, | believe it is safe for me to
plant early yellow corn than to ulant
cats. / will tell you why. The early
yellow corn is safe and sure crop,
although it comes off a month or such
matter after oats. You can make use
of. all of it, stalk, fodder and shruck.
that is, if you wish to feed it out in
this way. There has been no big Oat
or wheat crop made in this section for
the last two years on account of the
dry spring. And even when some
thing else--corn or cotton-we plant
after the oats, the hot dry weather in
August and September ruined that.
This has been my experience and OBJ
servation.
Peas are the surest crop after oats.
Let me tell you, reader, planted ten
acres to wheat this year and got 5
bushels wheat to my pin after it was
threshed out l then planted the same
piece in peas, cut the hay and made
little over a ton-from turn out at
that, but it beat the wheat crop by far
Other neighbors of mine planted corn
after oats and they won't make ten
bushels to the acre. 1t is not the best
to plant anything out of season.
There is some talk of the boil wee
vii in this section, but it is now two
late for them to do any material dan
ger to the crop. Next year, they will
play havoc with the cotton is the
guess of common opinion.
Many hogs have died in this section
of the county, this year and the crop
of pork will not be so large, as here
tofore. The time is right at hand for
having corn and to turn in" hogs
what few there are. The average
yield in this section will not be I'M
commonly high, but it will be suffi-
Gent for farmers to 'get through on"
A big crop of hogs is worth big
money just now.
Poor prospects for cotton crop in
some sections of the cotton market,
caused, in part, by the ravages of the
boil weevil is what has caused the
sudden rise in cotton.

Nose Simons, who fortunately escap-
ed to Macon after receiving two or
