Farmers Mix Own Fertilizer.

Farmers in Morgan county, Ala,
have saved approximately $40 ton
by mixing their fertilizer at home un.
der the direction of the county agent
instead of shipping in the ready mix
ed article. About 800 farmers have
Joined the homemade fertilizer move
ment. Ten farmers Joined in buying
a carload of ground limestone which
was used with good results, and a
number have been testing nitrate of
soda on corn and cotton. The factory
mixed commercial fertilizer has cost
$40 to $50 ton, and the price placed
a limit on it's use which has been
largely relieved by the practice of
home mixing. In Bullock County 10
central communities have engaged in
cooperative buying of commercial
fertilizer and ingredients for home
mixed fertilizer.

The new president also had some of

For nearly six hours testimony was
heard concerning beans from Gamers

400 varieties being discussed by bot

Gamers and attorneys. Testimony
showed that since the war Maya
Azure beans have invaded the country
so that nearly 80 per cent of beans
canned as red kidney beans are of
foreign growth. They are cheaper, it

the beans were the same shape and
were red after canning and therefore
did not violate any provision of the
Pure Food Act.
The case attracted much attention

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
ISSUED BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, Nov. 17-President
Wilson issued his Thanksgiving pro-
clamation recently saying that lin
plenty, security and peace, our virtu-
GUS and self-relient people face '1e
future" and setting aside Thursday
November %, for the usual obser-
vances. The text follows:
"The season approaches when i.
behooves us to turn from the distrac-
tons and preoccupations of our daily
life, that we may contemplate the
mercies which haye been voucnsafed
to us, and render heartfelt and un-
feigned thanks pnto God for His
manifold goodn as
This is an cid observance of The
American people, deeply imbedded in
our thought and habit. The bur-
dens and the stresses of life have
their own insistence.
1--WE have abundant cause for
Thanksgiving. The LESSONS of the war
are rapidly healing. The great army
of freemen, which America sent to
the defense of liberty, returning to
the grateful embrace of the nation,
has resumed the useful pursuits of
peace, as simply and as promptly as
it rushed to arms in obedience to the
country's call. The equal justice Of
our laws has received steady vindica-
tion in the support of law-abiding
people against various and sincere at
tacks, which have reflected only the
baser agitatiOns of war, now happily
passing.
'In plenty, security and peace, our
virtuous and self-reliant people face
the future, it's duties and its oppor-
tunities. May we have vision to
discern our duties; the strength, both
of hand and resolve, to discharge
them; and the soundness of heart to
believe that the truest opportunities
are those of service.
I'm spirit, then, of devotion and
stewardship we should give thanks
in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves
to the service of our Gods merciful
and loving purposes to his children.
Wherefore, / Woodrow Wilson,
President. Of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-fifth day of Novem-
Der, next, as day of Thanksgiving

trymen to cease from their ordinary
tasks and avocations upon that day,

God and His blessings, and their du-
tiful and grateful acknowledgement f"

THE BEST CROP OF ALL.

The best crop any state of the ma
ton can raise is crop of just plain
wholesome boys and girls. What
would be the use of working hard to
develop fine country, unless there
were some good, dependable boys and
girls to leave it to?
But boys and girls are more diff
cult to raise than record-breaking
cows or fine horses. Sometimes we
get so interested in building up a
fine farm, or a great city, that we for
get to bring up the kind of children
that CAM be trusted with these Won
derful investments and enterprises.
We cannot leave the boys and girls to
grow up any more than farmer can
turn his cattle loose in the neighbor-
hood and expect to have fine stock
in the end.
p The youth must be given high
ideals, and trained to be honest and
dependable men and women. A
healthy body can produce only.
strong and vigorous mind By con-
slant effort on the part of parents
and leaders. habits of thrift and in
dustry are formed that will insure
success. 1t takes time, trouble and
money to raise a good crop of boys
and girls, but it's worth it.-Thr:ft

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

/ This national election of 1920 was
not won for the Republican party
during the campaign. 1t was already
won definitely and finally long before
the national conventions of the two
great parties met in June and July
before anybody dreamed who would
be the candidates of either party, but
I when everybody of sound American
heart and common American sense
knew what the issue was.
This national campaign of 1920
was won, in truth, two years ago
when Mr., Wilson called upon the
country to give him another Demo-
cratic Congress to serve his own ends
while he worked his own will upon
the national representatives of the
American people, but the voters of
the United States responded with a
complete overturn of the Democratic
House of Representatives and close
capture of the Senate.
If Mr.. Wilson himself had been a
candidate for reelection two years
ago when he lost his Congress and
when his party lost further claim to
the United States Government, he too,
we doubt not, would have gone down
to defeat at the same time.
IN pn1itioo fhara ,ouor
had been anything more deliberate
and selfish than his betrayal of a
arge part of the American people into
a belief which he incesantly instilled
into them that he never would go to
war. There never had been anything
more cruel and dangerous than his
refusal from the sumner of 1914 to
the spring of 1916 to let the Gov
eminent of the American people build
Navy to defend their shores when
the world was aflame with war, to let
it recruit a Army when we were
threatened more and more, to let it
manufacture cannon and rifles, gath
er ammunition and supplies when,
indeed, he would permit this Gov
eminent to make scarcely a pound of
powder.
But after his. reelection in 1916
had been won on that false issue, and
through his indifference neglect and
perversity the country had been left
naked of military armor, mighty lit
tie time elapsed before he plunged us
into war Right then and there the
American people 'were done with Mr..
Wilson for good and all and with his
party for many a day to come. His
administration, his Congress his gov
eminent his party, already put to the
fun test as to their business capacity,
their practical training and their
American gumption, were found

WHOLESALE PRICES CUT

annual buying convention of the Unit
ed National Clothiers.
The convention is being attended
by retail clothing dealers from seven
teen Middle Western and Western
States, and has taken the form of a
huge display of made-up garments.

hopelessly wanting.
Nobody has put It more concisely
and withal more comprehensively
than Mr.. Otto II. Kahn did a few days
before election when he said: 7
THE people appear determined to
administer crushing rebuke to an
administration and a party which,
having come into power by fluke in
1912 and by deceitful election cry
in 1915, have established an unparal-
leled record for inefficiency, waste
fulness and general disagreement
at home and for mischievous med
ding and fragrant buhgling abroad"
After that November 1918, when
the American nation at the Congress
elections showed the measure I, had
taken of Mr.. Wilson, of his Admins
tration and of his party, nothing more
was needed to damn them irredeem-
ably in the public eye, the public
heart and the public brain. Il is
true that many things incxpTessibly
astounding and nationally humiliat-
ing had happened since then. There
had been the war squanders, WITH
the Unreasonable waste of army mon
eys, navy moneys-all public mon
eys. There had been the inconpara-
BILE muddling of economic situations
like the crops, the coal supply, the
transportation machinery of the ma
tion. There came the wreck of Lii
berty bond values. There came the
indefensible strangling of industry
and business by depriving them of
currency and credit thru the vast
drainage of loanable funds by
Treasury which simply wadded every
bank with Government /. o. US.
With all that grewsome back
ground of incompetence, waste and
failure the Democrats never had a
chance to continue in control of any
part of the national Government a
minute longer than the American peo-
pie could put all of them out. That
is, they never had a chance unless
they could set up another false is
sue under cover of which to slip
again into the Executive Government,
perhaps into the Legislative Govern
ment as well.-New York Sun.

Hog-ChoIera Loss Reduced BY Teach
ing Use OF Serum.


ing Use or Serum.
Losses by hog cholera have been
materially reduced in Bullock Coun-
ty, Ala, as a result of the work of
the county agent in training farmers
in various centers thruout the coun-
~ to use the serum and apparatus de-
veloped by the department. Forty
nine cars Of hogs, S,92S head, have
been marketed from the county thru
cooperative work, with an estimated
saving of $4,000. In Houston Coun-
ty the departments representative
taught is men to vaccinate hogs. Six
sets of instruments owned by the
Dothan Rotary Club were supplied
to the demonstrators and a serum
distributing point was established in
charge of a reliable veterinarian.
5000 head of hogs were treated.
In many cases it was found that
sickness, other than cholera, was due
to some incidental cause, such as
bad peanut meal, and balanced ra-
lions were advised. The county
agents work resulted in 32 farmers
establishing pastures to keep their
hogs off the open range, the land thus
pastured being freed of many noxious
weeds by the roofing of the animals,
and prepared for future cultivation.
Forty-four farmers in the county were
interested in stump removing an
about 1000 acres of land was cleared
in this movement. About tons of
dynamite was bought for the purpose
largely on the cooperative plan.
