A Travelled Man.

Virgil Gaffney is a travelled man
these days. Last week he went over
to Atlanta to visit his grandmother,
and to take in the big Fair. He saw
all the big sights at the fair and

CORN OUT OF WAY

With the first killing frost in this
latitude several days overdue, Craw
ford countys' corn crop is out Of the
way Of danger CT damage by freezing
County Agent Quist estimates that 7(
per cent of the crop is ripened beyond
damage from frost and that within an
other week or ten days, If by chance
the frost holds off that long, prac
tically the entire crop will be dry in
the husk.
Mr.. Quist's observations, based on
travelling recently in many parts OF
the county, are that practically all OF
the corn of first paintings and on high
and rolling ground is now so well ma
tured that frost will not injure it. Late
paintings and valley fields are not
yet ripe and will be injured by a
freeze.
In vast majority of the fields the
stalks show yellow and dried up husks
and leaves, indicating that the corn
plants have stopped growing and that
the ripenng process is well under
way.
1t is pointed out and urged by the
county agent that now is the time to
gather seed corn and that with the
ideal weather conditions existing
farmers can quickly gather their seed
and aid in insuring their next season 8
crop. Proof is abundant that frost
bitten seed corn is defective in ger
mnation and strength.
The extremely dry weather, which
ended with the four inch rainfall of
last week, had practically put stop
to fall blowing. Now it has been re-
sumed under splendid weather and soil
conditions. The county agent calls
the attention of farmers, to the fact
that work should be arranged this fall
to do all the blowing possible in order
to lessen the amount of spring plow-

On another page of this issue will

price to be paid for corn husking this
year. A meeting of nine prominent
farmers and number of farm hands
was held at the county agents office
Saturday, and after considerable dis.
cussion it was agreed that seven and
eight cents per bushel for fusking
would be fair prices. For husking
corn in good standing condition and
where an elevator is used seven cents
per bushel was considered a fair price;
for corn that was more or less down
and where the owner did not provide
an elevator eight cents was consid-
cred the price. The question was dis
cussed from all angles, the farmer
considering the cost OF raising the
corn per acre, the prospective prices
and yield, the amount of money in
vested in the farming business and
the responsibility each farmer takes
in raising the crop. The picking of
the corn was considered from labor
