SORGHUMS AND MILLETS
THE BEST CROPS TO FUR-
NISH HAY FOR THE SOUTH.
raised.
Washington, D. C., May 23.—In the
i southeastern states the sweet sor-
1 ghurr.s, Sudan grass, millets and cow-
I peas are the forage crops best suited
---‘ jor summer planting. The transpor-
Wilbur Dwight Hart, together with ration problem, under present condi-
Mrs. M. T. Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. tions, premises to be a highly im-
W. J. Fisher went out to Mr. and p31^ant 0ne. It is very desirable for
Mrs. A. H. Dozier’s Monday and on- if , . , ■
joyed a nice vegetable dinner, besides *:« reason that farmers in the South-
jried chicken. Mr. and Mrs. Dozier; eastern states should K^ow sufficient
believe in “living at home,” as prafcti- nay to feew their work stock and
cally everything for dinner was home; other farm animals instead of im-
porting it from other sections of the
country. By doing this the United
States Department of Agriculture
states they will relieve the pressure
on transportation agencies and re-
lease large quantities of marketable
hay for the use of the army.
The forage crops named succeed
even on the moderately fertile lands
of the South.
It is not necessary, however, for
the cotton farmer to reduce his acre-
age in cotton to insure himself of hn
abundance of hay for his own live
stock. Usually there is a large
amount of untilled land in the South
and if this were utilized in the pro-
duction of forage there would be an
abundance of hay to supply all home
requirements.
One feature to be considered if
southern farmers are to produce their
own hay, is, the cost and scarcity of
seed for planting. In particular the
price of Sudan grass seed is so high
that it practically prohibits the seed-
ing of this crop for hay purposes. To
a certain extent this is true also of
the cowpea. On the other hand, seed
of millets and the sorghums can be
obtained at a much more reasonable
price. These, therefore, are recom-
) mended as the most satisfactory crops
for providing hay for home consump-
tion in the Southeast.
In order to conserve the seed sup-
ply of sweet sorghums it is advised
that the practice of seeding these
sorghums broadcast or in close drills
be discontinued very largely for the
present. Sixty pounds of seed per
acre are required where these crops
* are drilled o broadcasted, and only
i five pounds if planted in rows and
I cultivated. This latter method re-
| quires more labor, but the yield per
! acre of fodder will equal or exceed
the yield of hay from broadcast or
drilled seedings and a much larger
acreage can be planted with the same
amount of seed.
Health
About
Gone
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf-
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme-
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car-
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 4,1
am in splendid health ...
can do my work. 1 feel I
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run-
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi-
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse tills medi-
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

We had the pleasure Monday of
making a visit to Enloe for the pur-
pose oi helping to put the move un-
der way for the community fair and
picnic to be held in that city on Aug.
llith, and assist the directors, J. W.
Powers and A. L. Carrington, in se-
curing a premium list from the busi-
ness men, for the farmers in this
community but action could not be
had at this time as the educational
feature hud not been carried on long
enough and they had not given time
to this project that they thought they
should have. However, we found
some who kept abreast of the times
and were ready to act now. We ex-
hibited the premium list to the Guar-
anty State Bank and they being on
the big modern wheel of progress,
selected farm products on which they
would give premiums to the amount
of $14 spot cash for premiums of
the growers surrounding their city,
thus exhibiting a modern spirit that
builds modern communities and keep
the big wheels of commerce going
round like they should to the best in-
terest of every citizen. We left the
further details with the directors and
will aid them whenever they require
our service, for Enloe is one of the 1
valued assets of Delta county and
it’s a pretty sure thing that they are
going to put over a community fair
that will not only be a credit to their
| community but the county fair a3
I well.
We had the pleasure of visiting
| Klondike Tuesday for the purpose of
j going over the matter with them in
. holding their community fair and
picnic Aug. 17th, and found them
j wide-awake to this modern move by
which they could exhibit the good
j things from the fields, orchard and
j truck, not only in their home town
but at the big county fair, and all
that was liking was a big get-togeth-
er meeting in Klondike at a date
which was named Saturday, June 2,
at 2 p. m. Due publicity is to be
given to this meeting and the enii'O
community is expected to be present.
Just watch Klondike put a comn,un-
ity fair over that will be the talK of
the entire county. Mr. Hunt, Collins
and Lilly treated us while in their
city with that old time hospitality
Our plans are to make Ben Frank-
lin and Pecan Gap at an early date
and help tlum to line up for their
community fairs. Also Charleston and
Lake Creek for the same purpose, so
they can all get on to the big wheels
of progress in Delta county and help
reach out and get all that is coming
to the county in the way of good
moves that will help construct and
build a veritable commonwealth jut
of the entire county.
J. R. Johnson, a progressive farmer
living a few miles west of the City,
was a caller at the Chamber and gave
a report on his farming operations
up to date. He stated that he i3
farming 110 acres, 27 in corn, 5 in
peanuts, 2 in Sudan, 2 in sorghum,
1 garden and potatoes, 66 in cotton.
He further states that he grows his
own meat, horse feed and different
food products for his family, doing
most all of his work himself with one
son, keeping the other children in
school. He states that he came to
this county 7 years ago and purchas-
ed 117 acre farm and to make the
deal he had to get a loan of $275 and
at this time he does not owe one cent
on it, having paid it out at the orig-
inal cost of $5265. He has it well
improved and well stocked, Darns full
of feed, smoke-house with plenty of
meat and lard to run his family and
probably some to offer on the open
market and that he never buys any
stock feed and that he never buys on
credit—prefers to do business on a
cash basis which is the safe and sane
j way of doing and as a result of all
this we might truthfully say that he
is on easy street. Hundreds of farm-
ers in this county could do as Mr.
Johnson has done by using their
heads coupled with muscle and fore-
going a few seemingly wanted luxur-
ies for a few years and jump on to
easy street and we feel if they will
get the right view that they will.
We made a little run for the mili-
tary boys for some cash to equip
them and make them look like sure-
enough soldiers and the citizens sure
were liberal and they now have guns,
they won’t shoot, but will enable the
boys to learn how to handle them.
Only about 90 days until the big
Delta county fair swings its doors
open to every citizen in not only
Delta, but other counties, who will
send large numbers of visitors. There
will be three days for the growers of
farm poducts to have friendly con-
j tost on who has grown the most per-
fect from the ideal soils of Delta,!
and a friendly contest among the |
stock growers who have raised the j
best in all lines of fine and valuable
stock, a frienu.y contest among the
poultry raisers who have made the
best headway in poultry raising anu
the boys and girls progress in pro-
ducing hog products, the largest
amount for the least cost. This not
ail or even half. The boys will be
t„ this big fair with their best girl
and a friendly contest will last for
the three days fair, and all of these
contests w’ill be settled oh the ferris
wheel or at the lemonade stand or
on the merry-go-round' or at the-
miror maze, or the big doll throwing
We are looking after every single ,
feature that will make this fair mod- •
ern and interesting in every depart-
ment, not only the old but the young
as we are now dealing for a high-
class carnival company that is clean
through and through. As to speak-
ers on the various subjects, they will
be on hand, and can and will deliver
the goods. We want to make a spec- 1
ial plea to the poultry raisers of the |
county to do their best at this fair,
as poultry is one of our very depend-
able commercial products.
J. M. Hagood, one of our progress-
ive farmers and diversifiers, placed
on exhibit at the chamber room a
bundle of alfalfa that is indeed fine
and is positive evidence that .this val-
uable product can be grown to per-
fection in Delta county. He has 8
acres of this valued feed product and
up to date he is harvesting one ton
per acre which at the present mar-
ket prices is worth $25 per ton. He
will cut this near four times this
season, getting a ton per acre per
each cutting, and has cut as often as
6 times, but the average is 4. The
frozen Klondike gold region has no
charms for Mr. Hagood. The alfalfa
route to the gold coin beats it and no
hardships to encounter.
Lest v/e forget, there is several
bridges coming to the county over
various streams, and in their coming
we must keep close to the fact that
the old time wooden bridge traps
have had their day and nothing short
of steel bridges and concrete abut-
ments will be tolerated or accepted
and that the needed places for these
modern and dependable bridges are
being located and when located the
commissioners can get all kinds of
money for their erection for if the
cash it not on hand the county has
got a mighty good credit at any old
bond shop, at any old place, and as to
the great commercial value of these
bridges for the traffic from the farms
to trade centers any citizen can shut
both eyes and see. The progress now
! being made on the roads generally is
certainly good and in this road build-
ing first-class bridges go hand in
hand, and we do not feel but know
that it is the pride of our commis-
sioners and county judge to do some-
thing for Delta that will be lasting,
dependable and demonstrate their
ability to do something during their
term of office that can always be
looked back to with pride and pleas-
ure in the many good years to come
and it is the duty of every citizen to
council with them in these moves of
bridge building and good roads build-
ing, and any citizen in-Delta county
who fails or refuses to council with
them is a slacker and a very poor
asset to the county for he is shirking
his duty as a citizen of this great
and progressive county. Let every
one do his duty and not wear the
garb' of a slacker.
We are going to hold a council
on Sulphur in Hopkins county in the
near future, with the citizens of that
county and lay and carry out plans
to improve the road from Cooper to
Sulphur and the citizens on the other
side are going to carry this improve-
ment on into Sulphur Springs and
then we will be on the Jefferson high-
way without any cost as we are go-
ing lo have these intercounty roads
anyway, but by this plan we will
kill two birds with one stone. Sev
eral of our leading business men ale
behind this move to make a speed-
way to Sulphur river, 8 miles, and
it’s going to be done. This road and
bridge move is going to be settled
and settled right.

Which costs most-
painting or waiting?
After your house needs painting, every
year you wait it will require more paint and
more labor to put it in good condition. And
every year you wait, your house is worth less.
A little paint-money is good paint-insurance.

Generally Speaking
Every person has energy enough to pass through the day, accom-
plish a reasonable amount of work and keep in good health.
It is the INTERIOR wear and tear, or friction accompanied by
nervous hurry and worry, which exhausts the LIFE FORCE prema-
turely. /
When over-activity is kept up until there is danger of a nervous
breaking down, not only is more rest needed but often a standard med-
ical tonic is advisable.
