How to cultivate, fertilze and when

Yes, the farm Demonstration came
around to show US all kinds Of new
methods, and they will also send some
little girls around to our school hous-
es and court houses to etach our wives
along the line of their domestic du-
ties. Such as how to make bread
ipies, cakes, jellies, and can fruit,
when old Mrs. w. has been perfect
success along these lines for the past
At years.
l have been member of some kind
of a farmers organization for about
40 years or more and if l were to un-
dertake to outline all of my expei-
ence The Herald and News would
have to publish an extra edition to
hold it.
There is a certain per cent of us
poor farmers who have lost all faith
in our own judgment and depend al
most entirely upon the leadership of
a class ,of paid college graduates to
call us together at the court house,
pass all kinds of resolutions as to how
much cotton to sell and at what price
and when to sell it.
And just as soon as four or five
of our leaders "air themselves" which
generally takes about gwo hours, the
Resolutions are put before the house.
A rising vote is called and up all we
little fellows on the back seats will
jump.
So after the meeting adjourns we
hardly get out of the court house
when some fellow will begin saying,
est steady in the <boat, boys, every
man together, we've got 'em now"
Now, fellow farmers, don't you
think it i time to stop and look the
situation over carefully and consider
if you don't think it the best idea to
let the whole world know what you
are trying to do?
AS a rule the man who is always
giving his ideas away is generally a
man who doesn't succeed we'll in bus
mess. The successful man is man:
who goes quietly about his ewn bust
ness, not even letting his right hand
know what his left is doing. !.

Yes, let US have good roads all over
the county. Let us spread out that
$4,000 together with the other lit
tie state and county aid we get, on
the most practicable leading roads in
the county so as we can all be bene-
fted.
Now, if you will pardon me I am
going to be a little personal, but l
don't think it is anything more than
Justice to the community in which l
live.
I am located about half way be-
tween Newberry and Pomaria on what
was at one time known as the "Poma-
ria road" This is one Of our oldest
chartered roads leading from Colum-
bia road near Mr.. Jno. c. Neel's to
Pomaria, which makes a direct route
for the people who live in lower 10
and II townships to and from New
berry.
For the past six years this road has
been kept in good travelling condition
from Hunter-DeWalt school house to
Pomaria by the ehaingang, but there
is a section on this side of Hunter
DeWalt school house "a distance of
two and d half miles) taking IN two
creeks and swamps which needs con-
