Now is the best time to plant
trees, especially shade trees.
Trees may be planted at any time
from the first frost in the fall
until April. However, there is a
great advantage in planting early
in the winter. The earth settles
better around the roots aud hence
the tree is less liable to suffer
from drouth the first season.

Neither Dead Nor Mute.

A few newspapers that aided
by unfair methods to defeat James
X. Nardaman for the United
States Senate last year are en-
gagged in following up their rep
rehensible conduct with equally
ugly and untrue utterances. The
fear of these newspapers has be-
come frantic. The ex- Senator
has entered the field of journal
ism. and armed with the truth
and an inCisiye pen. they fear
that the falSeness of many state
ments which were made last year
in the Senatorial campaign will
be exposed. They are beginning
to see that Vardaman is neither
politically dead nor mute. Ii is
pitlable TO see them in terror as
they watch him materialiZe Q
stronger, bigger and more for
midable defender of the peoples
cause than ever. AnathemaS and
criticisms which they hurl in
vain desperation TO beCloud the
truth as he is giving ii out in
Nardaman'S Weekly, is enough
10 make any man sick. Varda-
man does not have to come back.
He has never gone anywhere,
but he did refuse to hold a
United States Senatorship as the
rubber stamp of any man or in
fluenCe. He is still the champion
and defender of the peoples
cause, and more strongly en-
trenChed in their confidence than
is dreamed of in his enemies
philosophy. If you are not
reader of Vardaman'S Weekly
send us $50, or if you are sub
SCrlber to the Aberdeen Weekly,
SIPS and let us send it TO you for
year. If you do not take either
OF these papers, send us 81 so and
let us send you both for a year.

Progress in the South.

The transformation within a
twelve-month of certain sections OF
the South in agricultural and bust
ness conditions seems almost I'M
believable. These were portions Oh
the central South at this time last
year that were in the slough of de-
spond. Crops of all kinds. owing
to the boil weevil and excessive
rains. were almost complete failures
Negroes. the staple agricultural la
borers, were leaving in thousands
for the North and the East. and the
future seemed to offer nothing but
that grim endurance which the
Southern people have SO often ex-
perienced and practiced.
Today the reports throughout
these same regions are optimistic
beyond expression, and indicate
that the boast of the South that it
is the land of opportunity" IS in
reality sober truth. If some crops,
such as rice and sugar cane. were
not as large as in some years past,
these products now bring great
prices which more than make up the
difference to the producers. 1t is
true that the same September freeze
that hurt corn so badly this year
likewise blighted large area of cot
ton in Tennessee, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Alabama. But, again.
the appreciation in price of this
great staple brought its compensa-
ton to the farmers and planters.
An interesting side light on cotton
is that Is being successfully raised
though in a moderate way. as far
south in Florida as the bay of Tam
pa.
In its experience of diversit1cation
the South is learning the value OF
seemingly unimportant things. so
that the production of peanuts from
Virginia along the Atlantic coast
into southern Georgia and across
into Oklahoma and Texas is be-
coming a matter of great import,
the product running into many mil
lions of dollars. And in northern
Texas the great area planted to the
ground peas and COOLERS" of
Southern phraseology proved an
ever present help in time of trouble, "
when feedstuff for man and beast,
and cotton, withered up under the
long dreary drought-Commercial

The CourierJournal makes Just
>one prediction about that treaty:
1t is going to satisfy nobody.
The disclosure of its terms is
going to be followed by much dis
appointment and by criticism from
many points. Leaving out of con-
sideration its reception by the con-
quered peoples and the captious
fault-finding from political motives
in various countries concerned. the
treaty Is bound to fall far short of
universal approval 1t was newt
able that such should be the case.
Never before had peace makers such
a work to do as these. Never be-
fore such vast and complicated and
conflicting interests to balance and
adjust. They could not do that
work at all except by means of
compromises which must disappoint
perhaps as many people as they
please. Such A treaty. indeed
must be essentially a great compro-
mise. and though this one be a
masterpiece of its kind and be
hailed with wide applause. it will
also be received with no little dis
gruntlement and disgust.
OF that much. at least. we may
feel certain in advance of its publ
cation.-LouisvilIe Courier-Journal.
