Making Farming Pay.

MAKING ftFHnnS ray.
An interesting study for the prac-
tical and progressive farmer is to be
found in Farmers Bulletin No. 1121,
recently issued by tho United States
Department Of Agriculture The
title is "Factors that Make for Sue
cess in Farming In the South" 1t
is we'll illustrated, concise, and up
to-date, including many charts that
are very illuminating.
1t starts off with the farm ac-
counts Of 276-acre farm in Geor-
gia, showing how accounts should
be kept. Then there is a table show
ing how the size of farms influenced
the earning power, the four-mule
farms showing the greatest variation
in earning power. A number of the
farms Of Brooks and Sumter coun-
tics, Georgia, were studied by the
writers and statistics obtained. (This
was just before the World War and
before serious damage by the boil
we vil.)
The influence of crop yield per
acre Is shown by comparison be
tween two farms Of practically the
same size, etc. Farm A had 120
acres in crops; Farm had 122
acres; Farm A had yield Of 227
pounds per acre against 336 for B.
The net income for Farm A was
1902 against $1,76S for Farm B.
This shows the bearing that good
yields per acre have on profit.
Factors that maintain and in
crease crop yields are next discussed
with many illustrations and charts.
The value Of rotation with plenty Of
legumes is stressed. Two fields, each
having $50 pounds Of fel ltilizer per
acre, showed that with cotton after
cotton 279 pounds per acre was OBJ
tanned, compared with 511 pounds
with cotton following cowpeas.
Oats after crab grass and oats af-
ter velvet beans showed still more
remarkable difference, the yield in
the first case being IL bushels as
compared with 2S.6 bushels in the
latter case. In five years a corn crop
was increased from is bushels per
acre 70 SO bushels per acre by turn
ing under crimson clover, as against
letting the land lie out or "rest"
every other year.
The practice of selecting the corn
| in the field for seed showed an in
crease Of five bushels per acre over
seed planted on an adjoining acre
where the seed was not selected.
The Increased yield OF crops due
to n proper rotation Is shown very
| vividly.
The loss Of money resulting from
harvesting cotton slowly and at late
dates is shown.
Lower labor costs are shown very
clearly Where proper labor-saving
machinery is used.
This bulletin should be worth
thousands Of dollars % farmers If
its teachings are carried out. Copies
may be obtained from the Division

GREENWOOD CLAPs DOWN LID
On Public Dances--lIave Brought
Unfnvorable Criticism to City.

|
Greenwood, March 5.-Edftor Ke-
owee Courier: The dances given in
this city have become the subject Of
so much unfavorable criticism that
at a meeting Of the city council last
Thursday night strong steps were
taken, and all public dances were
ruled out The council let It be
known that, If necessary, an ordi-
nance to this effect would be passed
The so-called oratorical ball here
last spring. was considered a disgrace
to Greenwood, and was severely
condemned by the press and by the
good people Of Greenwood. While
these dances may not be any worse
than they are at other places, they
are not wanted here. Presidents of
colleges have written citizens pro-
testing against dance here in con-
nection with the oratorical contest
which Is to be held here in April.
| The chamber Of commerce got be-
hind the dance proposition, and it's
request to council acted. 1t should
be under stood that the good people
OF Greenwood are IN hearty sympathy
with the action Of council, and that
they are strongly opposed to these
dances, as are the preachers and col
lege presidents, who have made pro-
tests against them.
The following is the text Of the
resolution passed by the council and
the letter Of the chamber Of COM
| merce:
Whereas public dances conduct
cd in this town for tho last two or
three years, to which all persons,
regardless Of character, have been
admitted on payment Of an admit
tance fee, have given rise to much
adverse criticism and condemnation
by our religious and educational
leaders: Therefore be 1t resolved
First That we desire to assure
those who have the religious and
moral well-being Of the young peo-
pie Of tlfs community at heart that
we are in full sympathy with them
in all efforts for the Preservation OF
the good name Of this community.
Second. That while we do not
think 1t wise or necessary to enact
an ordinance prohibiting public
dances at this time, we stand ready
to enact such an ord lnance If the
prevailing sentiment of the good
people is still disregarded."
Following is the letter to the city
clerk from the chamber Of COM
merce in regard to the dance situa-
ton:
lowing to the fact that Green
wood has suffered to great extent
from the criticisms, whether just or
unjust, directed at the open public
dances given in Gibbs Hall, on the
occasion of the 1920 oratorical con-
test, we respectfully request that
you submit to the city council at
their next meeting our recommends
tion that they officially prohibit the
holding OF public dances in the city.
We believe that this action on the
part Of the council is we'll justified
/ as police measure to protect the
good name Of the city and to pre-
vent any possible disorder or un-
wholesome features which might
arise, and in order to avoid the repe-
! tition Of violent criticism, which at
tended the gathering of the young
people Of the city and the visiting
! students at the dance mentioned
! which was seriously and unjustly
: detrimental to the reputation Of
! Greenwood as moral community" ="

TIME choice of Washington to be

TINE choice of Washington to be
i commander In chief of the Revo-
luton is one Of the mysterious but
happy accidents Of history. Nothing

who had lost every fight that he had
fought, pointed him out as the one
and only man to meet the armies Of
the greatest empire in the world. Moth

to him by unanimous consent as the

Patrick Henry testified that this 81

the militia fight?" was all he wished
to know. "Yes." 'Then the liberties
of the country are safe" Although it
is said that Washington never in his
life read but one. book on the art of
war, he knew that if the people would
only stand up to the kings regulars,
they could lose every battle and still
defeat an enemy who was 5000 miles
from his base.
The Revolution was not won by the
sword of Washington, but by his in
domitable character. 1t was his char
acter, slowly built up by poverty and
struggle, which had given him from
the start the leadership Ove men
who talked more; yes, and who knew
more.
The %invincible fortitude of a people,
heroically embodied in him, overthrow
the kings army and navy and his
Hessians. The uncomfortable spirit
of the 5000 hunted, hungering, shiv-
ering, ragged C%ontinentals of Valley
Forge wrested from the British crown
an empire greater than all the con-
quests made by Na%poleon's grand
army.
At the last, as the Americans leaped
those last hurdles to independence, the
British redoubts at Yorktown, Wash
ington only said: "The work is done
and well done. Bring me my horse"
The war was over, but the noblest
victory was yet to come. Having re-
ceived the surrender sword of Corn
wallis, Washington surrendered his
own, unstained by personal ambition,
to the people who had entrusted it to
him and went back to his farm, from
which he was called to become the
first president of the republic.
No president has been more bitterly
abused than the first. His cabinet
quarreled until Jefferson, his secretary
of state. resigned, and his next secre-
tary, Edmund Randolph, basely be-
trayed him. His vice president, John
Adams, called him IAN old mutton
head" who had mot been found out
only because he kept his mouth shut"
"Treacherous in private friendship and
a %hypocrite in public life" Thomas
Paine pronounced him. Because he re-

Threatened to drag Washington out
OF his house." John Adams tells rs.
Notwithstanding the outbursts of
pa%rtisanship, he retained the conf
dence of the country to the last, when
the people at the Inauguration Of his
successor followed the retiring presi-
dent into the street and left the new
president all but deserted. The long
ask of the homesick exile from Mount
Vernon was done. He had found the
"aion q theory and he had left it a
fact. He lad found the United States
paper and he had left it a rock.

Movie Tricks.

In some photoplay fire scenes the buildings are actually burned down, and sometimes small models are burned. Usnally convincing illusion is created by placing chemical prepa- rations, known as smoke pots.'' "In concealed places in the building. Then by staining the film red the illusion is almost perfect.
 Movies make it easy for bricks to form themselves into walls. Here is how it is done: First brick wall is photographed. A man hidden behind the wall pulls down brick at time and throws it into a pile in front of the wall. Each time he does it it is photographed. The film is reversed when it is shown, so that the last pie ture appears first.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HOW DOCTORS
 TREAT COLDS

First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea
 less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and infu- enza can be depended upon for full eff fectiveness until the liver is made thor oughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausea less colonel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo- mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en- abling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu- monia.
