Tlioe of us who Lave even a little
utreak of gray abovo the temples can
-well remember tbat year3 ago when
a. man wished to express a great faith
in the progress of Invention he would
aclaim. "They will fly yet." At first
this expression was used somewhat
in derision, as expressing me ining
known to be wholly impossible. But
hv and ,ht it became eerious and men
used it often when observing some
iu;w invention that was particularly
nraiaworthv. And now. so far has the
Art of flying progressed that we are
told that the easiest way for Ameri
ca to contribute to the actual fighting
t tnr tinr tn en in for assisting her
Allies in taking complete possession
or the air. thus depriving the enemy
of all opportunity for observation
Ike observation which is me mouern
vulval. nt of the old time scouting.
And bo the world Jumps along and the

The old time gardeners who have
always made gardens both for the
inva nf it nd for the sake of the
rnriurt. have been chuckling some
thia soring and Bummer. Most of us
have friends or neighbors whose er
forta have afforded us some vpry in
fceresting observations. "Mnke your
Ann tmui or Ktarvp." was the warn
trig Bent down from the national scat
rif pnvernment eatlv in the pprlns
and repeated by our state authorities
with com mndablo e?t. And how we
i it' Thn old timers who start
way back yonder with early mustard
ttn chase the retreating shadow of the
ol1ard and the remnants of the fall
fced of turnip green?, were already
ancaking in pmall lazy man's beds ct

reping up, when the warning came.
ami were not a bit disturbed. The
1J -turbance took place among tho:,e
who bad not heretofore been accus
tomed to Foil tlwir hands with gar
den tool3. This class went at It with
a vim. To many of them it was an
excursion Into a far country. The
crisp air of the early eprlng was
pleasant, the nweet Boil unfolded new
delight as they digged it a Mtl
ich morning before breakfast or in
the cool of the afternoon. 8eed cata
' loguea were perused as never before.
THE MONROE JOURNAL T" hardwa' T? dld a ,a,n;! offic"
bitious novices started in with a vim
that hnsnoke a feur that crave re
sponsibilities rested upon the outcome
cf tiieir efforts. The inexperienced
gardner will always start out with
the idea that once a garden is plant oil
and all the rows nicely smoothed oiT,
the work is done, lie dms not plan
for successie crops, and the art of
cultivation, whereby the plants are
nursed through all manner of adver
sities, is unknown to Iiu.i. lie gets
liis nigger and mule ii;u a gr.al
hump and puts in a lull itc;i of the
tir.-l vegetables on soil but half pre
pared. And just about there his ar
dor cools.
O
H.i U suriirised to find that there
is more to do than to plant, and he is
astonished that the weeds will cot
ahead of the idants. After his rad
ishes, mustard, and a few other early
vegetables have made but an lndif
firrnt sucress. his ardor begins to
cool, and he begins to leave it more
and more to the nieger. There used
to be some real expert old time nig
sit p:irlners who were always ready
for a Job, and some of whom took a
real delight in the work. Hut they
are gone. The writer produced an
editorial on the virtues of one of
them who pitched his last garden
this spring and dropped off before
thn thines began to bear. Having
left It to Inexpert hands, the new gar
dener soon finds that it is costing
him more than it conies to and de-
niripa tn hnv his vegetables. This
year those who answered the call to
the soil which somes to so many ev-
orv snrlnr nnd which call was tMB
year emphasied by the exigencies of
war, held out longer tnan usual, out
they are now dropping into the shady
places and turning the gardens over
to the riotous weed. The call to the
shade has superceded the call to the
soil, and the army or entnustastic
now trnrripnprft u- ho started out 80
debonairly In the spring Is now thin
ning out as fast as tne ranKs or isa-
poleon thinned on the retreat rrom
fnsrnw,- Rot the new cardener has
served to add something to the gaiety
of nations at a time wnen gaiety is
all too rare he has afforded the old
timers a lot of amusement.
I)f.!T)ite the cut worms and the cool
wenttier and the usual hindrances
vM.h thn firnipr has tu meet, this
county bids fair to make a bumper
corn iron this year. From the Ca
nadian line to the Gulf of Mexico,
corn itr the universal plant. Though
the middle west Is known as the corn
belt almor.t r.a distinctly as tho South
It knnu-n :u the. rrilton bolt, it has
little on the South as a producer of
corn. fe can not only produce as
much per acre, but v e con do what
they cannot make a crop of corn
and a crop of something else on tho
snmr la nd in one season. It is pos
sible in this county to make tw4
crops of corn on the same land, but
necessity and economy will not be
served that way. Corn will more
and more be grown upon stubble
land, following wheat and oats and
clover. The war promises to bMng
corn hacjMa its old time Importance,
when it was par excellence the plnrt
relied upon by the pioneer farmers
for food for both man and beast.
The early settler found from the In
dians that corn was the thing that
best served his purpose, lie could
get it Into new ground and makj a
crop by punching the seed into the
ground with a stick. He could shell
the grain by hand and could bent it
Into meal in a homemade mortar long
before the ground could be made
ready for the more ancient and
aristocratic wheat. Corn was the
staff upon which the American j
pioneer leaned. In the South it has
been the easiest nnd safest grain
crop. And with the romance of a
possible yield of two hundred hu.els
an acre when the Fciencr of cultiva-!
tion and fertilization fully supple
ment the powers of our soil and cli
mate, the South is again to realize
the value of corn. Henry Watterson
has long called for some poet to come
forth and sing in ndeouate verse the
virtues of corn. And now war may
take the .ilace of poetry !r giving
corn its dues. Europe knows little
of corn and hence the cry for bread
from across the water means a cry
for wheat, and the more corn we
make the more wheat we can spare.
And there Is yet time for planting.
u
There is one thing about the war
that we might refer to with some
levity were not levity of any kind
out of place in connection with bo
stupendous a drama. That is that it
the American forces see service on
the battle field we shall have some
folk entitled to real military titles.
For a good many years after th3
civil war there were plenty of gen
erals and colonels and real officers
of less degree all over the land, and
the sight or a brigaaier general ne
tween the plow handles or steering
some other useful employment was
common. The men who had been
faithful as officers In the war wen
flvpn the nfftres. the honors and til 3
emoluments of civil life ungrudging
ly, we nave susDectea mat me nonor
ami consideration thus shown the
military title went far towards mak
ing it so popular as a mere title to do
received from anywhere or adopteu
frnm anv Rniiree. The titles hfraniO
so common that sons felt that they
should Inherit those oi their ratr.ers
in some Instances along with ihe oth
er heriditaments of tho deceased. It
became easy for a man who hd been
a corporal in the old army to become
:i rolonel in civil life. It sort o'
went along with his growing dignity
and importance u ne was pucresuui,
and the population was always ivady
to give freely of titles when It was
apparant that it was plessinR to tho
recipient. A story goes that an old
negro In a southern community wis
once asked by a stranger how bo
many In the neighborhood got the
title or colonel. "Well," he paid,
"some of dem was kunnels in dc war,
and some was 'lected to office tdnce
de war, and some got to be kunneis
by jlst bein good ter de nigger3."
After the real war Is over maybe wo
will see the spurious officer and the
tin titled officer feel ashamed and
quit In the presence of the real article.
On Buggies, as well as in other fines, there has been a tre
mendous advance. However, we bought early in the year
