Late Cotton Planting.
Cotton planting will all be late
this year. The ground will harden
rapidly when the rain does cease
and the water gets off. Run all
over the land with a disc just as
soon as the team will stand on top
of the ground. This will hold the
moisture until you can get your
planting done will let in the air
and will allow the sun to warm the
ground.
If the ground dries rapidly a little ;
deeper planting is required, but
shallow planting is best for a rule, j
Flat beds are best. High beds give i
warmth and air but are hard to cul- I
tivate and mean a decrease in yield j
in case of even a short drouth, and j
require more hoeing, which is cost
ly cultivation. High beds are not
only difficult of cultivation but dry
out rapidly and the roots forming in ,
them, running out seeking plant
food, find the soil too shallow when
they reach the middles to support
the growth of plants.
It is all right to plant on beds,
but first the beds should be pulled
down by a drag until the field has
the appearance of having been laid
off with a ten inch shovel between !
the beds. You can plant seed in a
corn planter and space them just
as you like if you will first damDen
them and roll them in a barrel built
upon a frame like a grindstone, put- j
ting into the barrel dry dirt or ash
es. Plant seed promptly after rol-'
ling, because the cotton fuzz will
return when thoroughly dried out. I
A small acreage well prepared
planted in an early maturing seed. |
fertilized and well cultivated, will j
open earlier than a greater acreage 1
thrown into a bad seed bed without
fertilizer and without sufficient cul- '
tivation. Cood cultivation and
greater quantities of fertilizer hasf
an maturity. You get better open
ing. a surer crop, more pounds per
acre and if restriction of acreage is ■
practiced to the extent it should be.
you get greater money returns, and
that is what we Diant and reap for
The remaining land sown in peas,
soybeans and late corn will improve
the soil and furnish the feed for the
crop of 1914 and make it a much ,
better year than it otherwise could
be for profitable farming.

ECONOMY.
By George Fitch. Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adams.
Economy is the art of stretching
dollars and magnifying pennies.
With economy a dollar will only
buy a proud nod from a waiter or a
ten minute rest in a taxicab. With
the help of economy a dollar will
buy a week's board for one or a
year's street car fare or ten year’s
neckties.
Economy can stretch out a dol
lar so thin that you can see through
the eagle. It will then be so ex
tensive that it will take its owner a
week to spend it.
When a man has achieved true
economy it takes him so long to
spend a dollar that he has earned
five more in the meantime and has
lost all hopes of catching up.
Many a man who has several
thousand dollars waiting patiently
to be spent, is putting his whole
soul into an effort to get one more
coffee berry or three more prunes
for a nickel.
The result is he usually dies
with most of his dollars hanging
around his premises.
Such men are guarded with gr°: t
pity by the young man who has
just gotten his next week's supply
of dollars from the boss and is
riotously blowing them in on a new
necktie, two theater tickets and a
rubber-tired cab.
Economy keeps a man wearing
last winter's overcoat permanently
and sifting coal out of the ashes
for amusement. But when re
garded as a game it is great fun.
No one is happier than the man
who has herded a thousand dollars
through the year and has let only
500 of them escape.
Economy is the cause of most
of our millioniares and the salvation
of most of our marriages. Econo
my is the backbone of our savmg
banks, the protector of the flour bin
and the chief foe of the automobile
salesman. Economy fills the land
with contented loafers of seventy
years and over, but it hasn't a
thing to do with the discontented
loafers of twenty-five.
Many a young lady who has spo
ken scornfully of the e o lomical
young man who takes his girl to
the nickelodeon and treats her at
the penny peanut machine after
w rds has married a handsome
plutocrat with a $20 salary and
has taken soapy lessons in econo
ma over the wash-tub slightly later
in life.
Though only one-tenth of an inch
in diameter, a new steel wire for
aeroplane guys has a tensile
strength of 350,000 pounds to the
square inch.
No Calomel Necessary.
The injurious effect and unpleas
antness of taking calomel is done
away with by Simmon's Liver
Purifier, the mildest known liver j
medicine, yet the most thorough in
action. Put up in yellow tin boxes

To Vote on tlie Question of County Suprrin
tendemy of Scitools.
Every county in the state that
has not yet adopted county super
intendency for its schools will vote
at the annual school election this
year on the question of county sup- j
ervision of schools according to in- ;
formation given out recently by the I
Department of Education. Ac
cording to the provisions of the
county superintendency law, the ]
question of county supervis on is
submitted this year to a vote of the
electors at the annual school elec-1
tion in all counties of the state that
have not yet adopted superintend- .
ency and if a majority of the votes;
cast at the school election in any
county on the question be favor- j
able to its adoption then under the i
provisions of the law thit county (
has legally adopted county super- ,
vision for its schools.
When any county adopts county
superinter.dency by a vote of the'
electors at the school election, the '
county superintendent who takes;
the piace of the county examiner is
nominated and elected at the. same
time and in the same manner that
any other county officer is elected.
Supervise’of Rural Schools J. L.
Bond is strongly urging the adop- j
tion of county supervision to the j
end that the same efficient super-;
vision and careful direction now be- :
ing given the town and city schools
may be extended to all the rural
schools of the state.
The ballots to be used in holding
the school election this year will j
soon be sent out with the regular j
school election supplies. These
ballots will have the question of
county superintendency printed on
them as the law requires and every
voter who favors better schools
should vote for superintendency.
