probably attracted more attention r
than any other series bf rticies ever '
published in a Southern; farm papei!
and so great has been the Interest in -it
that we have 'decided- to continue
the series through1 1910. In each
issue Dr: ' Butler will take up one , of i
the livest 7 and most ' pressing farm !
problems of the time and will en-
deavor to give actual instruction-
not mere exhortation and preaching '
i but actual Instruction about some
matter about, which the farmer needs 'j:
information right then information
based on the accumulated experience ;
of all the best farmers and agricul-
tural scientists especially; adapted, to
our ' Southern climate, : soils,- crops, i-1
and , conditions. Dr. Butler will en--
