tend the legislature. The small SOM
pensation and the high expenses make
1T practically out of the question for
a poor man to go. The honor is Just
as great as it ever was and l certain
ly appreciate the honor from my peo-
pie in having the privilege of repre-
sentlng them in the past. 1t is un-
fortunate, too, that it is getting to
Where poor man cannot 90 to the
legislature, because you will see the
evil of this condition in a few years
from the class of laws that are now
being and will continue TO be passed.
You see already where the state ap-
preparations have gone to, the states
expenses practically doubled in the
last four or five years, and the ten
dency still is to keep on creating Of
fices, spending money uselessly and
plllng on taxes. l cannot go into the
figures now, but they are astounding.
L nope our county this summer will
elect men to the legislature who stand
Tor economy and lower taxes, and who
are against such waste in public ap-
preparations.
1T is my intention at the proper
time this summer to offer my serv-
ices to the people of our county for
clerk of court, for the .ast two years
of the unexpired term of the late Ed
gar G. Dickson, and to ask the people
to elect me. l shall enter no active
campaign now. l think it is too early
to worry the people with active poll
ties already. If electec, since l can
not practice law in this county, while
in office, I feel that can be of serv-
ice to many poor and ignorant people
by giving them simple advice, coming
under the service Of the office, and
without doing injustice to the profess
sion of which l am proud to be
member.
My reason for making this state
ment is because l know there will be
active campaign work going on, be-
cause there will be number of can
dldates for the position, and the effort
will be made to tie the hands of as
many voters as possible with commit
tees and pledges. l hope the citizens
will go slow in this matter and do
that which is best, always having an
eye to fairness.

Care of Sow Pays Well

Now that an increased number of sows have been bred the next step toward greater pork production isl saving the pigs.
 Time is well spent with sows at the time the little pigs are arriving. especially if it is cold weather or f the mother is excitable. In either case the pigs should be placed in q box or tub containing a jug of warm water By covering the top of the box they may be kept warm and safe
 The greatest aid to pig is the first swallow of milk, so it is important that each pig gets his helping If the pig s weak it's mouth should De held open and the milk poured into it. Many a pig has been saved by this assistance
 If the pig is stupid when born she toreleSs should be worked back and forth causing the chest to contract and expand It is also well to blow into the mouth and nostrils to stiinu- late lung and heart action. It should be remembered that direct sunshine in the bed is one of the greatest benefits that can be given. Provide cry, sanitary quarters

Modern methods of poultry housing make due allowance for the capacity of domestic birds to withstand low temper atures and for the advantage of ample ventilation in the poultry house Except in extreme northern sections, or for breeds of fowls having very large combs, it is no longer considered necessary to build houses so substantially that when they are closed the cold is excluded and the temperature in the house apprecia- bly, raised by the heat from the bodies of the birds.
 The system of tight, warm houses, once very popular, was based upon the idea that to have hens lay in cold weather they must be kept in houses where water would never freeze. The methods of hous- ing now most widely approved and used are based upon the experience of many poultry keepers that egg production is more stable and the hens keep in much better condition when the house is built and used with a view to giving all the fresh air that can be given without ex- posing the birds to q tempsfa ture that will frost their combs. It has been found that the combs of hens accustomed to low temperatures become frost re- sistant to a remarkable degree, and the birds themselves much less subject to colds than when an effort is made to Keep the houses as warm as is practi- cable.
 Except when the winters are long and severe, hens may be kept comfortable and productive in a house of the light est durable construction, provided the house has water tight and wind tight roof, rear wall and end walls, and front which can be opened as much as is necessary to give thorough ventia- tion, or closed as much as is necessary to keep out rain or snow
 For ventilation in summer it is advis- able and often necessary to have aper- lures in the rear wall, or in the ends. toward the rear. which can be closed perfectly tight in winter and opened az much as required at other seasons.

What the South Is Doing

The United States department of Agri- culture. through the office of extension work in the south, says of the prospects, for this season:
 This is not only the most important but the most critical year in the history Of agriculture in the southern states It is necessary that the plan adopted should meet the approval of all patriotic men and women, that it should sustain our agriculture, sustain our people, and sustain our nation. It must be possi- lie, practical, and patriotic pro- Eramme.
 During the year 1917 the farmers of the south did wonderful piece of work In the face of an increasing price for cotton they responded to the call of the President of the United States and in- creased their production of food and feed crops and also their production of live in corn production ran more than 50 per cent and the increase in the b south ern states was B per cent in spite of the great decrease in Texas. Oklahoma and Louisiana, due to excessive drouth.
 The increases in velvet beans pea nuts, soy beans, hay, forage crops, gar dens, sugar, syrup, etc, have been phe- nomenal, but not more than our peo- pie needed. For the first year in recent history of the south the bureau of mar kets has been able to report that the local demands for corn have been met by the local supply in many sections.

Content of Peanut Seed

Analyses of many varieties of peanuts grown in 1917 show that there is quite difference in their value as indicated by oil content, The White spanish nuts contain the most oil, sometimes more than 800 pounds per ton The North Carolina Running comes second with an average of sS0 pounds oil per ton of nuts The Red Spanish and Virginia nuts are very inferior and should be planted only for parehfng or roasting, They are es- pecially adapted to this trade on ac- count of their large size. There is a diff ference between these inferior nuts and the White Spanish of SS0 pounds of oil per ton, which, at present prices of oil would justify a differnce in the price of the nuts of more than s per ton, or sl0oo per car of 20 tons.
 In order to encourage the production of better oil-yieldng nuts, the peanut millers of Georgia have agreed to pay a premium for carlots of nuts with oil con tent above the average.
 According to the above analyses. the White Spanish nuts contain 100 pounds oil more than the Carolina Running and at present prices of oil would be worth about ST 50 more per ton.
 The total value per acre will be the determining factor in choosing a variety. Some soils produce larger yields of run ming nuts than of the little. bunch or White Spanish variety; but the White Spanish are worth more per ton. Con sequently, smaller yields of these may be more profitable than larger yields of other varieties.

Wheat Standards Revised

Tentative revised standards for wheat grades under the federal grain standards act have been announced by the department of agriculture. The new standards are less exacting in their requirements, especially with ref erence to moisture. mixtures of wheas of different classes, rye mixtures and dockage than are the present stan dards, which have been in force since July i, 1917. The revision is the re- suit of IS public hearings held by the department in November and Decen- ber, 1911 Five additional hearings on the tentative standards were held last week and the week before, to give an opportunity for objections to the pro- posed changes. Changes in the stan dards are due largely to war condi- tions. which have brought about fixed prices for wheat and practical elim- ination of competition in mark etng. Milling and baking also have been put upon a new basis Under present ah- normal conditions mixtures of differ ent classes of wheat admixtures of rye and other factors that influence the color and texture of bread do not play nearly so important d part in tho marketing of wheat as under pre- wal conditions. Some of the changes. however, are based upon normal mar keting conditions.

Kitchen Efficiency

Wear easy shoes, one of the pretty overalls so much worn nowadays and have sleeves that turn well back from the wrists Collect all ingredients and utensils before starting work, and find recipes likely to be needed
 Arrange which dish to tackle first. anu if any ingredient has to be cooked e. g., she apples for the mould, see it is put on in good time. A few notes on raper regarding times for cooking, dishes that can be cooked at the same time, will save much thinking and waste of Itei, and heat the oven in good time, but not hours before it is needed.
 Have at hand plenty of dry, clean tea aud kitchen cloths, and all washing-up tools. Put dirty cutlery and plates into a jug of hct soda water: fill used pans wirh hot water to render them more easily cleaned, and pack plates into plate basket or even box, in order to leave the table and dresser free.
 Make 2 rule that food is always put in'o the harder on clean plates and there will he less sour food. These little de- tails may sound trivial, but attention to them means just all the difference be- tween well and badly managed kitchen.
