Corn, wheat, peas, cotton, grapes, berries and fruits such as apples, peaches, here and do well and are ready monpears, prunes, cherries etc. grow ey crops.

We need to attract more thrifty peo ple to cultivate the many thousand acres of idle lands. The climate is healthful and delightful aad we need only to teach our Northern people that our water and air are pure and that our climate is healthful. There is no wher else that lands adapted to the raising of 80 many valuable money crops can be purchased so cheaply as in this section of the State. To the enterprising and thrifty homeseeker there is every inducement to locate here. The proper thing for our people to do 18 to organize a movement to present the superior claims and advantages of this favored Our unoccupied and undeveloped land should be brought to the attention of the crowded and congested centres in other sections.

There should be a publicity campaign to exploit the resources advantages of this section. Our resources are practically un developed.Let us make known in a successful way only the superior advantages of our soil and its adaptability to se many and varied money crops, but impress the fact that our water is pure and the air fresh and climate equable and healthful. That is the greatest drawing card in our favor and yet it is that which is least known, IN BUSINESS FOR THE MONEY THAT IS IN IT. The last issue of the Chatham Record published the following news item: mentioned last week that a colored boy of this place was accused of stealing $50 from Wes Farrel and had been arrested at Sanford. He was brought here last Wednesday, and, after a preliminary trial before a magistrate, was discharged because of insufficient evidence to convict.

When he was arrested at Sanford about $25 was found in his shoe. The magistrate after the trial ordered all the costs to be paid out of this money, whereupon the question naturally arose why was the Boy discharged and yet his money taken to pay the costa?" There are often evidences of public officers whose chief end in life is the collection of fees. But it is not often that you see the matter so elearly demonstrated as in this inatance. The name of the Justice of the Peace should be published and that which is better the grand jury should give attention to this piece of official misconduct. If some one will give Judge Adams the facts at the next criminal term of Chatham he may make matters interesting for that justice of the peace and all those connected with this unlawful and reprehensible conduct.

The Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration work, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agricalture, is giving farmers some good advice 10 regard to the early cultivation.

The information obtained from its literature and through its men in regard to corn growing is about as follows: Corn is one of the crops that requires a great deal of moisture. Every stalk of average size will need three hundred pounds of water to make a good yield. This amount scarcely ever falls during the growing season, hence we must keep in the soil the winter rains for the "use of the corn at any time it may need it. It is a well known fact that a corn crop is ruined by a drought. But if the land was broken early and deeply so that it caught the winter rains and then if by proper cultivation the moisture is kept in the soil a good corn crop can be made in spite of a drought.

One of the main objects of cultivation from now on, therefore, will be to cultivate shallow and frequently to conserve the moisture which is lost mainly by evaporating into the air. If the soil is kept loose on top evaporation is checked. Hence, a weeder or other light harrow or cultivator should be run over the soil every week or ten days until the corn is too large. This loose dirt on top acts like a blanket would on a wet horse. It keeps the moisture there by preventing the winds from carrying it off.

Moisture is always found under a plank or other covering on the ground. The loose soil on top in the field acts in the same way in retaining moisture. After the first or second cultivation and after the corn is six to eight inches high all plowing should be shallow. A turn plow, a long scooter (gopher) or other deep running implement is not the best thing to cultivate corn with after the roots get out into the soil. Any deep plowing after this breaks the 100ts thus cutting off the power of the corn to get food and water.

This early and frequent cultivation also keeps down the weeds and grass. It is usually the grass that comes by expensive hoeing. The best time to kill these is before they appear above surface that is just when they are sprouting. This 18 always just after a rain. Stirring the soil dislodges them and kills them.

This work must be done just as 8000 after a rain as the soil is dr enough to allow it. After the grass an inch high and after the soil has crus ted the weeder or harrow will not do much good. Many farmers make signal failures on this point by waiting two or three days too long after a rain and often until they see a coat of young grass. The farmer must watch conditions and get there in time or his work is largely lost. Such implements should be used will not require more than one or two trips per row.

This is economy, one of the things not often given much attention on the farm. The important thing, then, is never to let crust form on the soil since by that time the grass is growing above ground and the moisture in going out at a rapid rate. Near Beer Tass.
