CROP AGENT GIVES
SOME SOUND ADVICE

From time to time your attention
has been called to the necessity of
providing a supply of seed oats out
of the present CrU planting next
season. The oat crop throughout the
entire country is far below an aver
age crop and in all probability a
good portion of it will be used for
feed, therefore, if EsCambia county
does not save the necessary seed, in
all probability it VIII go lacking.
However, some of our best thinking
farmers who view the
the seriousness due are answering the
call and saving much of the crop for
seed that otherwise would have been
harvested for feed. Save all the oat
seed you can. Do not be afraid that
you will have more than you can dis
! pose of for there will be q good mar
ket through the season.
Have you laid your plans for the
! fall crop? Have you secured the nee
| essary seed? You attention was fire.
! quently directed to the patriotic duty
| of the farmer to put in abundant food
! crops, such as corn, beans, rice, sweet
| potatoes, etc. Aside from a patriotic
! duty it is a duty that every man owes
! to himself and those dependant upon
him to plant such crops as will bring
best returns. The farm product that
will bring the best price is the one
for which there is the greatest de-
mand. At this time the cry is for
foodstuffs and the country can not
supply the demand for some time to
come.
Among the best fall crops youl
( OF aviv RI
peanuts and sweet potatoes. At pres
ent prices peanuts will net the farm
er at least forty dollars per acre
, advance with the season. Sweet pc
tatoes at an average price will give
good returns and the marketing com
mittee is hopeful of placing an enor
nous crop at good prices.
Corn, cOwpeas and soy beans would
also find a place in the fall crop
There are several varieties that ma!
be planted as late as July LIST, which
will give a fairly good yield while
like cowpeas and soy beans, the soon
er you can get the seed in the grounC
now, the better the yield.
Another matter that l wish u
3 stress is that of hogs 1t has beer
my observation that very few farms
in the county have a sufficient mum
3 Der of hogs on the farm to supply /
with meat for another year. Thi
error must be corrected. Hogs cal
3 be raised here at less expense thai
1 in most any other section of tn
country. Provide a pasture, selec
good breeders and look well to tn
care of the pigs, and you can no

GREETED BY LARGE GATHERING

The lecture Sunday afternoon at the
Municipal Theatre by Rev. M. L. Tay-
Tor, evangelist, on the subject, Saloons
or No Saloons" drew coneourse of
upwards of eight hundred hearers, The
speaker went at his task with that vim
so characteristic of him. He talked a
little over an hour. but being rapid of
speech said much in that time to strong
ly fortify his contention that commu-
nifty was better without than with the
saloon. 1t was an array of statistics
and conditions as he found them in wet
and dry territories. He dealt directly
with the voters, to impress them if pos
sible that upon them the burden of
decision rested.
Mr.. Taylor's ability and tact easily
commended the wrapped attention of
his large audience every minute.
