We people riffht he in Ply mouth Township want tbe en tire white populace. of ths&oanfcy to be with us on this day, and we are ccrtainily doinf auia our power to prepare for'the enter tainment of the visitors. We caught a whiff a few day aj?o that some people were J pre judiced against Plymouth, and were intending to keep their children at home and not allow them to be among the festive throntr. Tii is seems peculiar to us, for we faii to" aefe what bene fit could be derivea f rom such a selfish action. There is just one element that would feel any .ef fect from such a condition, and that is the children who are com pelled to remain at home to sat isfy the whim of a selfish parent, who thinks that such an action would be vengeance with a fira. If such a state of offairs exist, we pray that God Almighty will open their eyes, and clear away themiat before the auspicious day arrives. you are the ones ve most want with us on that day. V.V would just like for you to see for your self where you are wrong. Our town is ot'cn to you. Come! Most every business house in the city is offering a prize for gome one of the various contests, and that alone is evidence enough that Plymouth is not doing it all in talk. Wherever you see a business man who has put some thing ia you may rest assured hit hduse has been penetrated b$ the enthusiasm of the occasion, and the folks at home are glee fully looking forward to that day. Our women-folks are on the job. Isn't that sufficient? Safe Farming. To practice safe farming means a diversification of;, the crops and this in itself is some times confusing. A clearer mean ing of the wqinJ ''diversification" is this, to prdtfuee all the food and feed crops, on the farm nec emry'to support the farm, with a surplus to sell, and the remain- aeror tne crop to De- iiH some money or. cash crop& - -. Henry W. Grady. of Georgia, had the following tr say in re gards to the one crop system: ".No one crop will ma.ke a people prosperous. If cotton holds' the monopoly under conditions that make other crops exceptional, Jits domination will be despotism. The County Commencement henever the greed for a money meant for every school chiidf Npp unbalances the wisdom of and r r . i r r Washington County, their parents as well, child to be deprived of thi ure thy have been antij for most a year ispitabb able.

Some of the pro ducts have advanced from 40 per cent, to over 300 per cent, over the market prices of a few months ago. Every farmer should put forth his best efforts to do Safe Farming this year, if never before. Safe Farming, may be briefly defined us follows: Farmers need, Fertile soil, Food, and Feed crops, First- And after that the money crops are largely profit. Sfe Farming may be more fully discussed under the follow ing heeds and defined as follows: It is simply the growing of every IhinR that is needed on tnefbrmf in the way of crops and livestock to save high prices of tfcese pro ducts that have to be bought on the market. Well-kept records show that such crops as corn, pork, and bar can be produced on the farm for tees than half the cost to. buy them oa the mar kets at the present market pri ces.
