THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN. . 1 DRAINAGE ADVOCATED. A Canal Should be Dug to Drain Saddle Tree Swamp. To the Editor of The Robeonian: Please allow me a word to those owning land near Saddle Tree6wamp. It is obvious to every one that has taken the time to study the matter that a canal up this swamp, beginning at Lumber river and extending ten to fifteen miles, would be of more material interest to the owners of this land than any thing else of the same cost. There are thousands of acres of fine land that is useless because of the lack of a place to drain and thousands more rendered in ferior from the same cause. No section of the county would be better or more valuable for farming purposes if this canal was cut, and if then the owneis of the land would do their part to thoroughly drain their land, which would be made possibe by this main canal. Are the conditions favorable? Most assuredly they are. The first thing before the work is be gun would be to make arranange ments to remove the mill dam near where the swamp runs into Lumber river. This should not only be done in the interest of the farm above the dam, but in the interest of the public travel, roads, &c. Do the people want this canal cut? I answer yes, nearly or quite all of the progressive farm rs owning land which would be benefitted by this canal are anx ious for it, and most of them are willing to pay their part to have it done provided it is done with out unnecessary cost. Then shall we do it? We must do it, or throw away a large per cent of the profits that we might obtain from our lands if proper lv drained. Not only this, but the beauty of this otherwise beautiful section is marred by the low places that cannot be drained jutting out into the farms, and if the land was drained the roads could be mre easily built and would be more desirable. And now for this plan: First of all, we must become intense ly interested. Second, we must be united and to this end it might be well to buy a kicking machine to use on the first man that wanted to take undue ad vantage of the others, or insert politics or factional feeling in the matter. Let there be a meet ing called and a free discussion of the matter had. A commit tee appointed of fair-minded men to take the matter in hand and arrange for the work, or any other plan that those interested see fit to adopt This has been a dry year and many of these undrained places have good crops on them, but if it had been only seasonable the crops would have been cut one half or more. I cannot believe that such men as own the land on this swamp will fail to have this work done, and thus deny themselves the distinction of being in the lead as a farming section. Observer. Lumberton, N. C, Aug. 8, 191 1. Progress Among the Indians in Georgia. To the Editor of The Robeeonian : I wish to have space in your paper for the purpose of noting the signs of progress I see in traveling in Bullock county among the Indian race and others. I see great improvement in the growth of the farms. All are nearly done pulling fodder and picking cotton seems to be the work of the day. Cotton gins have been running in this community. We can look out upon green grassy plains and see from 40 to 50 head of cattle. Some are getting rich raising cattle and some are getting rich farming, and I am glad to say that the Indians in Georgia are among the prominent farmers of the State. We are glad to say that our boys and girls are taking advantage of their educational advantages. ' W. B. Harden. Claxton, Ga R. l. Vice President N. B. McCan- less of the Salisbury-to-Monroe Railroad gives the information that the survey has been com pleted to Monroe and that after a few slight changes are made the grading will begin and the road will be completed and in operation by 1914, three years. More people, men and women, are Buffering from kidney and bladder touble tnan ever before, and each year more of them turn for quick relief and permanent benefit to Foley's Kidney Remedy, which has proven itself to be one of the most effective remedies for kidney and bladder ailments, that medical science has devised. J. D. Mc Millan t Son. Necessity of Organic Matter in the Soil. We do not advise the use of any leguminous crop in the treat ment of these poor lands the first season. You will do well to get a good growth of rye on the land and in order to do this you may have to use one or two hundred pounds of some good grade of commercial fertilizer. Begin in the fall. If the land is rather heavy, break it as deeply as your teams can pull it but do not sub soil. Sow a bushel and a half of rye per acre and use home-grown seed if you can possibly get it, at any rate, get seed grown in North Carolina. In the spring, if the season is good and the rye is growing off nicely, it might be well to clip it when it first comes into head, in order to let it make a second growth. Your main object now is to secure a large amount of vegetable matter to be plowed under. Therefore leave the clip pings on the ground while the rye makes its second growth. When the second growth begins to bloom, run a heavy roller over the ground; follow this roller with a good sharp disc harrow, and disc the land until the rye is cut into bits. Then turn it un der as deeply as your teams can pull it, provided the land is not too wet The plowing should be about eight inches deep. After plowing, set the disc harrow at a slight angle and run over it another time in order to break clods and pulverize the surface. Let the land lie about a month and seed it to cowpeas, using, if necessary, about 100 lbs. of acid phosphate to the acre. When the peas have made their growth, roll and run the disc harrow over them about twice; cut them to pieces and plow them under deeply and let the land lie until it is time to sow rye again. Sow rye and crimson clover after the peas. The following spring treat the rye as you did before, clip ping, rolling, discing, plowing. You should clip just before the crimson clover comes into head, or, be sure not to clip the clover when you clip the rye. The sec ond growth of rye is likely to come off about when the clover is ready to turn under. Then roll, disc, and plow as above di rected. Now, wait for a good rain and disc the suiface twice and prepare to plant corn. You have now worked this land one year without getting a crop that is, you began last fall a year ago, planted it to crops this summer and fall, plowed them and this spring you are growing corn on a piece of land which perhaps has not been farmed in ten years, and you are going to get more corn off of it this year, in all probability, than you have been getting off of your best acres on other parts of the farm, and you will have done it all by deep plowing and green manuring, with the addition of a little cheap commercial fertilizer. Your land is now brought up. The value has changed from say $5.00 an acre to $40 an acre for actual farming purposes. Next week we Bhall continue this discussion of rye as a green manure, and hope to bring before you some interesting facts which we have not been able to bring out in the above discussion. J. L.

C, writes: "For years I was a - t i . ;vtre suiierer irum cnronic ayseniery, brought on by acute indigestion. It also brought on catarrhal headache which debilitated me so I had to lie down three or four hours each day. My gen eral health was greatly impaired, and I was weak and nervous.
