Plant Small
Grain Now

There is not sufficient feed
stuff in the county to carry u;
through the winter. Probably a;
not in several years, Sumter
farmers need oats or other small
grain, and
NOW IS THE TIME TO
PLANT.
A successful farmer remarked
to us this week that the ground
was just right now Tor the
planting of oats, and he added
My father, who seldom failed to
make a good oat crop, always
told me to plant oats early" Of
course, they may be killed, but
the same thing is true if they are
planted in January.
The hands on the farm are prac-
tically idle now. The stock is
Idle. The ground is not produc-
ing, Why not put all three to
work, earning their way through
the winter? The day of the sue
cessful one-crop farmer is past
The margin of profit is so narrow,
the farmer must watch every cent
spent and add as far as possible
to his income. Otherwise, he'll
come out in a hole at the end Of
the year.
Through the long dry summer
the pastures were burned up;
corn is short; there not enough
roughage on any farm, and while
Southwest Georgia has Jared bet
ter than other sections of the
State. the situation is not what it |
might have been. 1t is a wise
farmer, who makes his prepare
tons now for a good oat crop,
remarks the Albany Herald, and
observes that
There are few sections where
oats yield so satisfactorily as in
Southwest Georgia And while !
there are other sections HAT nay
need the oat crop more, there will
certainly be plenty of demand for
oats here.
Oats, well sown, may be pastured
through December and January,
not only to the advantage of stock,
but without injury to the crop.
Oats pastured rightly produce bet
ter than those not pastured, ac-
cording to most authorities.
Let our farmers put in a large
acreage of oats, and be prepared
to put them in as soon az the sea-
son will warrant sowing.
Plant oats now, or get ready to
plant them at the first available
opportunity. Don't wait and then
be compelled to buy feedstuffs
on time or go to the bank for
money to purchase that which
we should raise right here at
home.

Mitchell's Charges
Seem Justified

In recent weeks it has been
almost daily occurrence to read
of another air pilot killed when
his machine crashes to the ground.
Today it's one here, tomorrow
it two there. 1t would seem
that Colonel Mitchell's charges
that American filters are being
sent up in ships unfit to take the
air is amply proven.
These continued deaths is
bringing the Coloners charges
very close to the point where
probing boards aren't necessary
to prove to the people that Amer
lea S air forces are inadequate in
number and poorly equipped.
The Army and Navy boards
may courtmartial Mitchell, and
probably will. but he is serving
his country and will not protest
at his punishment
A reader thinks Mitchell should
resign from the army before
criticizing his chiefs Mitchells
charges would not carry one-half
the prestige OUT of the army
that they do with him in the army
and facing courtmartial. We are
not at war. If we were Mitchell
would be guilty of treason, but
during peace times these charges
can do nothing more than ac-
quaint the country with the true
conditions of one of this arm of
defense.

u. S. JUDGE TO
ASK BUILDING
More Room Needed for

BU United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 9.-Lo-
cal business men, headed by Federal
Judge Thomas W. Slick, are backing
movement to obtain new Federal
building.
The fact that the postoffice is
crowded and that the press of bust
ness in the Federal Court here will
make larger quarters necessary in
the near future is the motive for the
movement.
Judge Slick said that the Govern
ment seldom rents quarters for its
office when 1t is cheaper to build.
This he said undoubtedly would
play a large part in obtaining new
Federal building.
Judge Slick urged the citizens of
South Bend to cooperate in urging
the Treasury Department to order
a new building here.
