FARM NOTES
Interesting Items Given Out BY
County Agent

The recent frosts have fastened
the maturity of cotton and corn so
that both crops are coming from the
fields in good shape. Cotton is yield
ing better than was anticipated while
corn is not SO good, according to the
report Of C. H. Moody, County Agent
Very few farmers gathered much
corn before the first Of the month
end it is feared that this win not
keep we'll in bulk. Most of them
waited for some good frosts to put
the corn into good condition to
gather.
E. N. Quillan near Hollow Rock
reports corn yield Of only five or
six barrels per acre on land which
last year produced from eight to ten.
With soy beans in all his corn as
usual and with rs barrels of old
corn carried over he expects to have
feed for his big herd Of Duroc Jersey
hogs. On this farm are five sows
with 46 pigs about two weeks Of age
showing rather prolific bunch of
sows.
Joe Robinson near Hollow Rock
has II acres of nice wheat seeded
from part Of the yield Of one acre on
which he last year produced 35
bushels. He is also caring for nice
bunch Of Duroc shoats and pigs. The
hog industry is on the boom in that
community.
H. B. and Walter BayIess are do
ing some good work In building up
thin land by the use of soy beans,
peas and clover, and by filling gullies
and running hillside bitches. A
field Of peas is being hogged down
after which the vines will be disked
in and the ground seeded to wheat
without breaking. Then the soy
beans in the corn field will be hogged
down after the corn is out, thereby
producing pork very cheaply and adj
ding to the fertility of the soil.
L. 7. Butler of Buena Vista
planted peas in his corn at the last
cultivation and got fine growth of
vine but very few peas. This is a
common complaint this fall and it is
predicted that peas will be scarce
and high priced next spring.
Hobart Knighton of Westport is
well pleased with his cotton demon
stration which stood the dry weather
well and is giving a good yield.
G. A. Thomson of Westport has
purchased a disc harrow, steel Sec
ton harrow, a Rastus pillow and Gee
Whiz scratcher as a result of dem
onstration work and now says he
would not farm without them.
w. E. Edwards of Westport found
in his corn demonstration on thin
land that he produced corn at cost
of $14.00 per acre and 81 cents per
bushel. 1t was produced at a profit
of $1.39 per bushel and $32.67 per
acre. How many farmers can tell
where their profits lie?
E. U. Gooch of Yuma has six acre
cotton demonstration producing 5000
pounds of cotton this year. 1t stood
the drought well.
A. M. Gross of Clarksburg has a |
plot of alfalfa sown last spring which
seemed to have died during the sum-
mer drought but with the fall rains is
came out nicely and is doing well.
This crop stands dry weather.
Arthur Vancleave brought some
fine late Irish potatoes to Huntingdon
last week. Thirty Of them weighed
27A pounds.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Murphy had a
letter from their son, Lieut.. Joe R.
Murphy this week in which he an
nounced the fact that he had
been promoted from second to first
lieutenant. Mr.. and Mrs. W. L.

noted from second to first lieuten-
ant. These are fine young men and

The Democrat received this week
from the Liberty Loan Organization
of the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict Fourth Liberty Loan, a certifi-
cate of honor awarded in apprecia-
ton of the valued and material assis
lance rendered in giving publicity to
the Fourth Liberty Loan. The Dem
ocrat is strictly loyal to the war
measures and to all the causes pro-
mulgated in the interest of the war,
and will continue to do all in its pow
er to help win the war and bring our
brave boys back home to their loved
ones.
The Democrat devotes page this
week to the United War Work Cam
paign. 1t is interesting reading and
exceedingly timely matter. We re
ceived page advertisement in plates
from the United War Work Cam
paign committee with instructions to
see the merchants of our town and
have them to contribute to the ex-
pense of inserting this advertising.
But believing that the reading mat
ter would be Of greater value to the
county campaign we inserted this at
our own expense instea of the regu-
our own expense instead of the regu-
lar advertising rates. The Democrat
is loyal to cause of this campaign and
takes pleasure in contributing its
space to help make sure its success.
Mrs. l. L. Argo, Of Irrelevant,
received recently a letter from her
son, Corp. Ebert E. Brooks, from
somewhere in France, stating that he
he'd been wounded on September 10,
during the battle at the st. MihieI
Salient. He says he was wounded
in both legs. Received two machine
gun wounds in his right leg and one
in his left leg and one in his left
foot. No bones were broken, and
while he was not able to walk for
sometime he did not consider him
self badly wounded. He was one of
the first boys hit in the big drive
and was at once carried to hospital.
Mr.. Brooks had been slightly wound
ed once before. He wrote some very
interesting points about the big bat
tie about which so much was said in
the daily press at the time of the
fight.
