Z
several years, there is also more land
planted in hay crops than ever be-
fore.
Some have finished sowing oats
and are preparing their cotton and
corn land. We notice that our neigh
Dor, Hon. H. H. Walters has his land
all ready to plant. Our farmers are
all hustling early and late preparing
their land and hauling out their
homemade fertilizers. There is al
ways plenty of work to be done on
the farm all the time, winter and
summer. There is no rest for the
wicked, says the Good Book" neither
is there any rest for the farmer or
any other man who loves his work
and is on his job all the time. The
business man or woman who makes a
success are on their jobs from early
morning until late at night, and the
farmer should be to make a success
of farming as a business. The win
ter also gives the farmer a'l excellent
chance to be in his farm shop repair
ing his farm machinery and getting
everything in ship shape for the
Spring blowing. So that there will
be nothing to do when the weather
clears up in the Spring but hitch
up to his big double pillow and start
off turning the earth,
A great many have their gardens
all planted. DR.. B. Owens has his
garden all planted, he has everything
but his beans, guess he will plant
them the next warm spell. He says
when you hear the doves singing
their doleful song it is time to plant,
and as they have bedl singing for
several days it is time to garden.
