A LESSON IN DEEP FLOWING

The corn display of Mr. A. J. Clary
at the Crisp county fair is lesson in
deep blowing. He believes in the
right kind Of seed and the success.
full corn grower must have that but
he must also have something else
Mr.. Clary breaks his land with a deep
pillow and then subsoils. That means
something like sixteen inches of land
breaking before the work is done in
preparing the soil.
The land breaking is necessary for
the moisture to get deep into the
e. 6und. That will prepare bed of suf
ficient depth to hold the moisture
vi ich 1t takes to make good corn
The land breaking Is specially neces-
sary in all good grain crops. The lack
Of moisture is the one failing. We get
the moisture If we break the lands
deep enought to hold the moisture of
the spring, the grain crop is~a marked
success every time over the old way
A dry season seldom hurts crop of
corn where the land has been broken
Ibut ii must be broken.
Ask Mr. Clary about land breaking.
That Is one Of his secrets. He has a
record Of ninetl bushels to the acre
in Crisp county. You cannot do that
we'll in the old way. And you cannot
90 other intensive farming till you
get OH the stumps and go aDeh it.
Lhnd breaking requires machinery
that the farmer can buy and use. But
the stumps should go, even if the old
methods of farming are retained.
Break the land and get seed corn. The
corn crop will be different one and
one you can well afford to make. You
are losing money and time at any
ether method.

WORK M ANSHlP

The best workman on the job is the
one who is afraid of losing his job.
The one who fabitually takes the
rest cure at the expense Of the house
is the one who thinks the boss is
afraid to fire him.
For months wages have been go
ing up. The quality of workmanship
has not gone up with wages. 1t has
gone down. Production has not in
creased. 1t has lessened.
This may seem an argument against
high wages. but il isn't. 1t is an argu-
ment against human nature.
A writer of fiction will burn mid
night oil while struggling for recog-
milton. He will polish phrases. re
write scenes, and ponder over pune
uation hour after hour to produce
page. But let him arrive. and he will
slacken the harness. Production will
inc rease, perhaps, tor production
means more spending money. But
each work will be of less worth than
the one that preceded it. and your au
thor will live and wax fat on his re-
putation.
Great paintings, poems and works
in marble were made by those who
had little of this worlds goods, or
were obsessed by craving for APP
plause. In almost every case recogni-
ton and applause lowered the quality
oC their craftsmanship.
The man who works with his hand
has had the feeling that he was not
getting is share of the prifits. He felt
submerged. These new times have
givn him more money. more respect
for himself. less awe OF those VINO
have much, and consequent desirefo
loaf and invite his soul. His new in
dependence is the child of prosperity
We all get il as the bank balance
increases.
And if the labor feels desire to
relax a bit now that the burden OF
existence has lessened-for il has les
sened in spite of high prices-who
shall begrudge him the privilege?

NOW LISTEN TO THIS

At recent hearing before Attor-
ney General Palmer in Washington. at
which Protest was entered by the Gro
GERS against excess profits" on Califorr
mia Raisins and similar products, James
Hewitt, of the Grocers and Importers
Exchange, of Philadelphia, according
to the New York Commercial, made
this interesting statement:
1.-The California Raisin Association which
controls 80 per cent of the out put, stands
according to the report of it's own president
to make an extra profit of what was expected
of $10000,OO0 on the raisn crop.
THAT means that every housewife who
buys package of seedless raisins must pay
five cent royalty towards making up these
profits. A pound package of raisins costs the
wholesaler 16 1-2 cents and the retailer pays
Is cents. The cost to the eventual consumer
to 23 rs cents.
Through the opration of the law regard
ing farmers associations, which exempted
from food price limitations, the raisn men
are able to make these profits"
.lA You are paying that additional pro-
.fit2ef $10,000,000, not to us, but to the
producer and There is no law to
reach him. Don't you see where high
costs begin?
Distribution costs little more be-
cause of the high price of labor and
every other item that enters into SER
vice, but
The producer is getting the vast
bulk of the increased cost to you OF
your goods, and THERE'S NO Law
TO STOP HIM.
Nothing would please us more than
to be able to let you have your salmon
and your raisins and your prunes at
last years prices
But when the producers have their
hands at our Threats and the muzzles Of
their guns in our faces, demanding
bonus of ten millions from us-from
YOU there is nothing to do but to
pay it.
Can you tell us the wave out?

MUCH CORN
SPOILINC in SHOCK


Reports from all parts of the
county are to the effect that much
corn is spelling in the shock.
Farmers have been SO busy get
ting their tobacco ready for the
market that many of them have
neglected their corn. Help has
been very hard to obtain also to
shuck corn and the consequence
has been that a great quantity has
been left in the fields. The heavy
rains which preceded the cold
wave which nowlias the country
in its grasp didn't help matters
any. Much corn was exposed and
is spelling as result. Wellposted
farmers are predicting much
higher prices for corn early in the
new year as a result of conditions
that confront much of the coun-
try. And they say what holds
for Madison does for other coun-
ties in the tobacco belt also where
other crops have been more or
less neglected to get tobacco
ready for sale. to obtain advan-
tage of the high prices that are
prevailing.
