Can't We Helm

Nhh We
Some of the bankers of Alabama
have notified the farmers of their
counties that this is the last year
that they are going to advance mon
ey for feed and that the farmers
must plant enough corn, oats and
legumes for next years needs. 1t
is good resolution and 1 hope that
many who are not living In those
counties will see the wisdom in such
a stand.
J. know that gambling must ba
very alluring, and it Is a form OF
gambling to plant every acre in cot
| ton, or any one crop, tobacco, too.
and trust to a big price. But is X
not more sensible to make the un-
certain crops the surplus? With
plenty of feed for horses cattle, and
meat in the smokehouse one can
sleep easy whether the prices are
up or down.
[ know that every part Of the
country can not raise the same
amount of corn, hay or oats, but
there is some way to succeed if the
mind is put on it and everything
else gives way to it as it certainly
/ does wit hcotton or tobacco. With
either of those crops there is not
any fertilizer too expensive, nor la.
Dor too disgusting to keep it from
| being done. Put the same on food
and feed one year and convince your
self.
Statistics are not interesting, but
| they are enlightening, and here are
some for your edification:
1.-THE average southern county
each year spends for food and FEED
| that could be produced at home on
their farms:
Three hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars for beef, pork, lard;
| $152 900 for horses and mules; $125,-
! 600 for oats, hay and corn; $4,000
for -four; $4,000 for poultry and
eggs; $50 900 for canned goods; $10,-
| GOO for butter and cheese; $125,00O
! for vegetables and potatoes"
| Almost every one OF us is guilty
on some count, and it behooves us
| to see if what we buy is not just
! what we could raise at home, or
buy from our neighbor. Don't mis-
| understand me. 1 don't want to Gre
| ate the impression that we individ-
ually must raise everything that we
eat, or use. See what you can do
best and let your neighbor do the
same. For instance. our land will
not make good cabbage, but neigh
| Dor can. L can make all the beans
| that we need and sell enough to buy
the cabbage that we need for krout
and for pickle We don't have to
go out of the county for many
| things, and thus we create mar
! ket for a neighbor's surplus. So II

The season is now getting we'll ad-

afford to put out some carpet grass

tutes a valuable addition to the graz

is subject to a fungous disease which
attacks the seed.
Sow from eight 10 ten pounds Of

Grass lands should not be grazed the

Keep Fertilizer Out of Contact
With Seeds

Would it hurt the cotton seed to
put about fifty pounds of nitrate
Of SODA in when plant the seed?
[ want to put my gIano in and
bed on it, and then drag my beds
down and plant. After I chop
my cotton I want to put about so
pounds more Of nitrate OF soda TO
the acre. I thought ] would use
q 1888. What do you think
of 1t?
1t is best not to mix fertilizer with
seed of any kind. Most drills are
now So arranged, however, that you
can put down fertilizer and seed sat-
isfactorily at one and the same time.
In other words, if layer of earth
falls between the seed and the fer
tilizer. there is no objection to using
a combina ton drill which will put
down the fertilizer and at the same
time SOW the seed.
Your plan of putting the fertilizer
in the drill row few days before you
plant the cotton is a good one. It
is important, of course, that the bed
be allowed to settle we'll and he tops
Of the rows be knocked off before
the seeding is undertaken. Chop
your cotton to a stand Just as soon
as you can.
IL nitrate Of soda is to be used as
a side-application, then is the time
to apply it. From so to 100 pounds
per acre is the amount to use. Some
people are advising much heavier APP
plications than this. One hundred
pounds seems to have been the most
satisfactory amount to use, accord
ing to our experience and observa-
ton. A 1888 should prove salts
factory under the conditions de-
scribed in your letter, and in view
of the type of soil which predomi-
mates in your section. We would
advise the use Of more nitrogen. but
for the fact that you contemplate
using a side application in which
this element predominates.

THE THINGS OF
EVERY DAY
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

THE little things of every DAY
Make up the sum of living;
The fathers toll, the children's play.
The loving and the giving.
We plan so many mighty things,
But plans go wrong and wealth takes
wings;
Yet time can never take away
The. little things of every day.
The little things of every day
Are what we most remember;
The April grass. the rose of May,
We cherish in December.
Some word, the first the baby said
Some lullaby, some path we tread,
The only things that ever stay
Are little things of every day.
The little things Of every day
Make life a joy or sorrow,
The things we do, the things we say,
Are memories of tomorrow.
Whatever pinnacle we choose.
What wealth we win, what wealth we
lose,
The things that never pass away
Are little things of every day.

a LONG the devious highways where
"A the lights are blazing. in the by

His sole purpose in life Is to gorge

EFFORTS MADE To
REPASS MEASURE
"CoUNTRY CAN'T AFFORD IT."
SAYS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE,
REFUSING SIGNATURE
BONUS BILL IS VETOED
HACKERS OF BONUS MEASURE
IN HOUSE SEEK TO OVER
RIDE VETO

Washington.-The soldier bonus bill
was vetoed by President Coolidge on
the grounds that it was economically
unsound and morally unjust.
Returned unsigned to the House,
| where the legislation originated, the
measure was Immediately taken up by
its friends in an effort to override the
executive action, and only the counsel
of leaders of both parties obtained a
postpOnement of II vote.
The President, in his veto message,
document of more than 1000 words,
declared he could see no justification
for enactment of the bill into law, and
added:
"Our country cannot afford it. The
veterans as whole do not want it.
All our American principles are op-
posed to it. There is no moral justifi-
| cation for it
Proceeding in his discussion of the
bill, Mr.. Coolidge declared no bonus
was owed able bodied veterans of the
| World War.
| "rhe gratitude of the nation to these
veterans cannot be expressed in dol
lars and cents" he added. THE re-
| spect and honor of their country will
rightfully be theirs for evermore. But
patriotism can neither be bought nor
| sold. 1t is not hire and salary. 1t Is
not material but spiritual. 1t Is one OF
the finest and highest of human Vir-
tues. To attempt to pay money for 1T
is to offer it an unworthy indlgnity
which cheapens, debases and destroys
it. . We must either abandon
our theory of patriotism or abandon
this bill"
The economic and financial grounds
for IA veto were stressed particularly
by the President with an inference
that should the bill become law, hope
for tax reduction must be abandoned.
The government, he said, had reached
n financial condition which permitted
a reduction in taxation, but IF this
bill becomes law we wipe out at once
almost all the progress five hard years
have achieved in reducing the national
debt"
The bill, he argued, would commit
the country for period of twenty
wears to an additional average annual
appropriation of S114,000,000 and at
the end of that time it would be nee
essary to sell to the public S2,5OO,OOO,-
600 in bonds-a major operation in
finance-which he said might be disas-
| trous at that time.
The executive asserted the disabled
veterans were being given treatment
and that insurance had already been
provided for all veterans
"Our first concern must be the ma
ton as a whole. This Outweighs in
its Importance the consideration of a
class and the latter must yield to the
former.
This is the Second time a bonus bill
has been vetoed Two years ago Pres
ident Harding turned down the first
measure passed by Congress. His veto
was overridden by the House but sus-
tained in the Senate. On passage of
this bill the House voted 355 to Oh
and the Senate G7 to 16.

The Romance of Words
MAYOR"

NNE of the most interesting
~ and best-phrased explana-
tions of this title occurs In
book written. strange as 1t may
seem, In 1655-yorstegan's Res
titution of Decayed Intelligence.
"Thls honorable name of Of
flce," says the author, "in the
chief and most famous city In
our realm Is written In divers
wales, Some writ 1t major,
some mayor and some Marie
And because major in Latin Sig
nifleth greater or bigger. some,
not looking any further, VIII
needs from thence make 1t ma
jor. But, seeing the names OF
sheriff and alderman cannot be
drawn from the Latin, why
should 1t be thought that mayor
cometh from major? Certain 1t
is that as the other names of Of
flee are not derived from the
Latin, no more is this. For the
etymology thereof we are to
note that in our own English to
may Is as much as to say a
'haver' or possessor of might
one that hath and may use au-
thority."
