The. Republicans are simply because they happen to truly in an unenviable . situation be running for some particular and should be pitied rather than office. - censured for they know not We take no sides in the fight what to do. between Mr. J. W. Bailey and Mr. llindale in the Seventh Ju& ical District, but we do disap prove heartily of the attitude taken by Mr. Bailey in his per sonal attacks upon various' Indi :v iduals. We believe that men KNOW THE CROPS WHICH PAY Thousands of farmers are to day keeping accounts of var ious crops and at the end of the should be selected carefully for year they know exactly' just office and everything possible what each crop has cost them, ! done to keep unworthy and un what it was sold for and how ' scrupulous men out of office.

The but it is such attacks as Mr. how- Bailey is making that keeps many a good clean man from running in this section are not doing that for office. Vilification and thing, and if they would they ! abuse never accomplished any probably .would find that some good and it may result in black crops are proving unprofitable ening the name of one wJlq has and should be cut out. j always been held in the highest In order to make a success of esteem. The same results can There have been a number of Lfarmers in the last week asking this question, "What is wrong with my stand of soy beans as 1 hacf good seed . and fixed the ground right before planting"? That is" another thing that we can blame on the excessive amount of rain that we have had in' this section. When soy Teans are planted in ground that runs together and ' ' bakes after a hard rain, you may expect a poor germination, if the land is not mulched with a weeder as soon as it is possible to do so. Soy beans may fail to come through a crust that would offer but little resistance to cowpeas. Then too, soy beans! have a tendency to heat where there is an excess of moisture and this heating will destroy the germinating power. If it is possible to do so, it is best to run a weeder over the fields after a hard rain, and help the young beans through the crust. There are" two fields in the country that were planted from the same seed and there is Republicans are in a quandary , farming the same methods must be accomplished in a clean, open! j a vast difference in the looks oi any . fight without resorting to pec- as to what to do.
