Agricultural Conditions.
Without doubt the farmers in the
northern Georgia and northen Ala
bama are i'll about as bad shape us
any | have ever seen in the noprest
section of East Virginia. That is,

The people either do not know how to
farm or don't care, one or the other.

spots i'll cotton or corn from year to
year, and when the land no longer
yields ANYTHING they turn IT out" to
grow up in pines and bushes. The
rains wash the fields into great Eul-

"Old Red Hills of Georgia" I've

young man, who had attended un ag-
riculturnl college, and who takes and
reads the farm papers, told me that
he had rood clover and grass on his
falln, and that he made 80 bushels
of corn to the acre last year, and this
on one of the northern Alabama
farms, which he bought three years
ago for $40 per ucre. But, these
good Southern people will find out
after while that it won't do to abuse
and mistreat their lands, and northern
Georgin will take her place along
side of the great sections of that

Farming in Tennessee.
In Eastern and Southwestern Ten

badly managed, of course. They are to
be found in Tazewell and everywhere
else. But the farms rs rule in Ten
nesscc, particularly in middle Tcnnes-
see, were II delight to the eve.
The farmers were sowing great
fields of COW peas, and along the rail
road was to be seen large fields of al
falfa. Alfalfa fields were green and
flourshing.
In Western Tennessee the farms are
said to he in Il high state of cultivation
Tennessee is II great state, and be-
coming greater.
Soldiers Everywhere.

The Camp Mcclellan trip was me-

SCOUTING FOR BOOKS.

What does this mean to you? A
special appeal is going to be made to
you through the Boy Scouts of Taze-
we'll during the week of March 49,
rs, for books for Our Soldier and
Sailor boys. The Sammies are calling
to you, calling for some of your books
for their camp libraries. This is the
one thing which they enjoy during
their vacation hours. The Scouts are
certainly going to call upon you, they
are going to make you friendly Wis
it and during their stay they are go
ing to ask you for book. Certainly
in your library there is one book you
can donate. There are books there
that you have never read and never
will read; why not put them to some
good use? Do not think that any
kind of book will do. We want
something interesting for the boys in
khaki, for the boys in blue. And the
one thing which we do not want is a
ten cent novel. If you have any of
these do not send them; keep them at
home, for they will not be sent in
You know the kind Of books which in
terest you and the young man. A
technical book, good language book
an agricultural book, good novel
They will read anything, but we dc
not want them to have anything that
is trashy.
If you live out of town of if we
miss you send your book to Theodore
Pobst or let one of the Boy Scouts
know about it and he will come ant
get it.
Do not read this and think about il
no more. Actl If you cannot fight
YOU can help by giving q book,

Red Cross Notes.

The Red Cross Magazine desires
that the following letter, which it has
sent out from Garden City, New
York, to the Chapter Secretaries, un-
der date of February 10th, shall have
the widest possible circulation:
To the Chapter Secretaries:
Red Cross Magazines have been in
Variably mailed from here to Christ
mas drive subscribers within ten days
after receipt of their names at this
office.
And this has been done in spite of
the fact that nearly 100000 names
have been received since Januaru 1st.
Every list has had to be counted and
acknowledged to Chapter and Divis-
ion headquarters. Every name has
had to be stencilled, proof read and
filed The files have to be arranged
alphabetically by post offices. Wrap
pers have been addressed, filled with
magazines, and packed into mail bags
and delivered to the post Office. Four
in America have been manufacturing
the magazines day and night Prob
ably no other magazine has ever
had such task or such rapid and
upward growth in circulation---from
100000 last July to 100000 now.
If, therefore, you have had from us
the form acknowledgment of receipt
of your lists, please do not write COM
plants concerning non-receipt of the
magazines but bear in mind that the
magazine class of mail is terribly
congested all over this country, that
transportation facilities are poor and
IN manv cases it is taking weeks to
deliver mail that is usually delivered
an q few days.
Your patience in this will be very
much appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,
THE RED CROSS MAGAZINE.
