REBUILDING WORNOUT
FARMING LANDS
(From L^ndale News)
son three weeks ago Judge
t w Fitzgerald, County Agent
i Gentry and W. H. Caldwell,
Tyler'pajd our little city a
vi8it and spoke to the farmers
ifh reference to farm condi-
ions as they found them on
visit to Georgia and the
rolinas on last August.
Suite a number of farmers
LPflrd these gentlemen discuss
the subject in question yet we
M that the readers would be
terested in the all impor-
nt matter, hence we repro-
duce Judgf Fitzgerald s speech
In part, as follows:
"For three of four years, I
have carefully read the south-
eastern farm papers, and be-
came convinced that in certain
sections of those states the
farmers were transforming
their country; and for more
than two years I have planned
to make such a trip and go to
the farmer himself and see
his land, examine his soil and
find out from hi mwhat he had
done and how he did it, so I
could more intelligently advise
the farmers who do business
with this bank, and other far-
mers in general, how to im-
prove our farming conditions.
When the directors of this
bank learned of my purpose,
they promptly authorized that
my expenses be paid—they ex-
pressing the belief that it was
the bank's duty to bring this
information direct to the far-
men of Smith county.
In order to make my trip
more effective, I asked others
to join me, and Mr. W. H. Cald-
well went at the expense of
Caldwell, Hughes, DeLay &
Allen, and Mr. E. Gentry, coun-
ty agent went at the expense of
some of Tyler's leading busi-
ness men. Mr. Gentry, Mr. Cald
well and myself are planning to
at once get up a report and rec
ommendation as to our findings
and have this widely circulated
and also to begin a speaking
campaign and tell in greater de
tail what the best farmers in
those states have done and how
they did it; and it should be re
membered that our informati«*
was gathered from the farmer
ing country I have seen was
near Bennetsville, Marlboro
County, South Carolina, this be
ing the northeastern county of
that state, and the community
known as the Fletcher-Gibson
neighborhood. It was thig coun-
ty that first liegun using com-
mercial fertilizers in the '70
and prior to the time the boll
weevil struck it three of four
years ago, it was -not at all unu-
sual for an uptodate farmer to
make two hales of cotton to the
acre and 60 bushels of corn, on
land not so good as most of
ours. They have built up their
soil by terracing, sowing velvet
beans, broadcast and turning
them under in the spring, cut-
tig all stalks to pieces with

We have in our possession a receipt for gasoline
known as Gasoline Soap. We find this soap just as
essential for drycleaning as regular laundry soap is
in water for wet cleaning. We were very lucky to get
this receipt from a large dry cleaning plant. We ask
the ladies and gentelmen of our town and trade ter-
ritory to share our good luck and have their clothes
cleaned nicer than here-to-fore.

farm
Our trip had been carefully
planned and I had kept clip-
pings two or three years from
farm papers, and we confined
our trip largely to points which
have about the same climate as
we have as regarded tempera-
ture and rainfall, so that the in
formation gathered should be
at least largely effective here.
Around Laurel, Mississippi,
a town 52 miles north of Meri-
dian county is naturally as poor
as the land in this county and
te temperature and rainfall is
about the same; but from plant
ing velvet beans and soy beans
and turning them under in the
winter, and from sowing crim
son clover in the early fall and
turning it under in the spring,
then fertilizing a reasonable
amount the farmers have trans
ferred that section and made it
a wonderfully productive coun-
try.
Around Griffon, Georgia, a
town of about the size of Ty-
ler, and about 42 miles south
of Atlanta, and I think land no
better than ours, the farmers
are doing wonderful things by
the same method exactly as at
Laurel, Miss., except around
Griffon many of them sow hai-
ry vetch, and they have like-
wize transferred their coun-
try.
When I was a boy in the '70
I used to hear Major Dean who
settled on Indian Creek near
where I was born, speak
leaving Carolina in the iate '6o
because it was washed away
and worn out. I spent a day in
Anderson county on this trip
and it is now a wonderfully pro
ductive country. Fields worn
out and given up sixty years a
go as worthless, have been ter-
raced and built up with crim
son clover, hairy vetch, velvel
beans, soy beans and other le-
gumes and are now making 40
to 60 bushels of corn to the
acre and from 3-4 to 1 bale of
cotton to the acre in a year
with ordinary seasons.
But the most wonderful farm
using until now they think they
have not large amounts of com
mercial fertilizer made a suc-
cessful crop unless they get at
least 40 bushels of corn and 1
bale of cotton to the acre and
often the fanner who has done
most of his soil building gets
60 bushels of corn to the . acre
and from 1 to 2 bales of cot-
ton to the acre.
I am fully convinced that any
farmer of average intelligence
and plenty of land and willing-
ness to work can take as poor
sandy hills as this county con-
tains, and in four years of soil
building on the alnive lines,
can be making more per acre
than the very best land in this
country is now making, he can
average his 80 to 50 bushels
of com to the acre and from
8-4 to a l>ale of cotton to the
acre."

(|l fey Wnriara Newiiitptr Ufeloa )
JOHN K1AIHKKLY tugged In hi. p«-
eioua office cbnlr, his big hands
gripping tiie polished edge of the ma-
hogany desk. He glared at tiie grin-
ning office boy.
"Who did he aay?"
"Jeat told me tab tali yuh be was
a man from Reno!"
Klmberly opened the top drawer of
his doak—well, they'd found him, after
tan years. He pulled at his collar-
it seemed as though ha could feal the
noosa tightening arc and his pndgy
neck. No—he mopped the leathery
corrugatlonx of his brow; the walla of
the room seemed to close la about
him, smothering hint—Nevada didn't
hang her murderers now; she choked
them to death with gas.
For ten yesrs, Klmberly had pie
tnred this very moment; at flrat .11
had come with a fear for ever/ mas

hod come with a dread of ctvfttana
plain clothes men. finally both feart
had worn away—he had merely dread
ed an inevitable something. Te for
get, he had plnnged Into btfulaeaa,
success had come, but he had nevei
forgotten—and now, the dreafed me
raent was here.
He rose to his feet and strode to th«
open window, fighting—fighting wit* i
every inch ef him for the eraftinem I
that had kept him safe throughout th« i
dreaded years. But In spite ef till i
efforts, he could net concentrate. Hli |
nostrils quivered; his lips curled In i
snarl- well, they wouldn't get hits |
without a ftgbt; aer weald they t.k«
him back alive—not on aceettnt ef a
drunken brawl. He groaned; pevhapi
he had been a trifle hasty—the othet
feUow had been too overloaded with
llqaor to be responsible. . . . Oed I
