.Ti:s.r.iAr::aui; press THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1321 ACS TWO Just About the Farm Bob Clark and Tartar Moore are some frame-up guys. They have gone and went and put a hive of bees in the county agent's office. They are sho'nuf live bees and making honey, r t The seed wheat time is here. Nume rous farmers have expressed a de sire for seed wheat. We have ob tained samples and prices from several sources and called a meeting for next Saturday. All those interested are asked to meet and discuss the proposition. This will be the only meeting to be called, and whatever action, if any, develops at this meet ing wil govern the county agent in ordering seed wheat this year. ' - The net proceeds of our car -of potatoes was sure some big disap pointment; but the fault is right here at home. If we are going to break into the high class market, we will have to. grow high' class stuff of the proper variety.

I "We Always Sell the Best" a loading shed where the shippers will be protected from the weather It looks like the City, County, Can nery and Farmers Federation could all help us out on this proposition We are going to ask them any how. WANTED: To know if there is one jingle farm in Macon county which is stocked completely with 'only pure bred sires. The betting is ten to one that there isn't. . . . ' Another ten to one bet is that there isn't a farm in the county using only pedigree seed. The hogs that are now on standard feed in several places in the county are surpassing all expectations. If there is any one else who cares to take this up, the county agent will be pleased to come and weigh the hogs and help them to get started. It is great thing for the farmer that is . working for a profit on his farm, for it lowers the cost of po-k production from about 4 to 6 cents on the pound. . Must be -a lot' of surplus corn produced in the county this year,-the way people are pullin gfoddcr, thereby throwing away from 5 to 15 bushels of corn to the acre. Lespcdeza and sweet clover should go into every pasture mixture. ' Several limestone and fertilizer com panies have offered lime and fertilizer to from 5 to 15 farmers in this county who will put on a rotation demonstra: tion, using sweet1 clover and lime as the main parts of the project. If anybody wants this see the county agent at once. fW nf the thines this county needs, agriculturally speaking, is fencing and more fencing. Was out the Georgia road the other day and was struck by noticing tne improvements being made no several of the homes out that way paint going on the houses and white-wash going on the tree trunks. I hadn't noticed these homes until this was done. The wise farmer will certainly re clean his wheat seed very rigorously this season. " " : I Jiope somebody else will take up the argument in favor of dairy cattle in opposition to Mr. John Keener. He . will sho' get licked Mr, Keener's opponent I mean for .there's no doubt about it,, dairy cattle on the small farm are the most profitable thing, and the old Guernsey hits it up about the best of any here. . "-' The farm without fencing is like a ship withou a rudder. - , . The crop that will bring the busi ness, farmer a handsome income from now until mid-winter is the lowly turnip green. They may be sowed now in any bid out-of-the-way corner as well as in the good fields, and the canery will buy all that is brought them. Practising this, we can get a cash crop and a winter cover crop as well. ' 1 . .. " - Speaking of the cannery, it is, at last, doing business. It will can on the shares, buy your stuff or charge you so much for packing. Just any old way you like." ' r L The County Bread and Butter Show programs are to be mailed out next week. Let's let everybody get busy on this and see what variety they can bring in. There will not be many Special Fanners' Notice Seed wheat meeting is called for Saturday, September 10 at 11 A. M., at the Court House. The action at this meeting will determine whether the County Agent rpkd a'cbropera ,tive.;order.:::;,i.;:. Please let every man attending bring a sample of his home-grown seed. The buying of Fertilizers co-operatively will also be discused at the above meeting. This is the last and only call on the Seed Wheat proposition. Many have said they want seed wheat. Now is their time to get it.
