Follows Oats aud Wheat with
C0Wpeas and Soybeans

"Not An Idle Acre" is a good slogan
for everyone and those who have oats
and wheat should plan to make their
land do its full duty and put in cow
peas and soybeans this year. These
crops not only produce great quaint
ties of feed but the add nitrogen to the
soil. Land left bare through the sum.
mer will not only produce nothing but
will lose great deal Of its fertility
due to the washing of the summer
rains and the effect of the baking hot
sun upon the vegetable matter and the
beneficial bacteria in it. Make arrange

FLEMlN G QUITS
ORDINARY'S
OFFICE
HAS ALSO QUIT REoIsTRATloN
EOiRO

Judge w p Fleming who has for
more than two years been ordinary
OF the county of Crisp, and since the
war started, has served as clerk of
the registration board, has resigned
both places and his official resigna-
ton has already reached the governor
The announcement of this action
on his part will prove great sur
prise all over the county.
Judge Fleming has been considered
one of the most faithful OF public
officials and he has done the war
department and the people of the
county great service in the offices
which he has held. Judge Fleming
sent in his resignation yesterday to
both Gov Dorsey and the military
officials in Atlanta.
Judge Fleming gave as his reason
Tor quitting the fact that he has been
at such hard work for the public in
Il free capacity that he has not made
a living for himself and family. He
has had nothing from the services he
has rendered the registration board
fer more than year and these ser
vices have practically taken all of
his time so that he could do nothing
in his other official capacity by which
he could earn livelihood
Judge Fleming stated that he had
ent in his resignation in time for
he governor to have his successor
FAMED in the coming primary.
There will doubtless be an an.
louncement forthwith regarding the
disposition of the resignation of the
'plendid officer who is quitting.
