PRAYER FOR PEACE. * *
By his proclamation, setting apart *
X" I'
nday. October 4. as a day of
ayer for peace, President Wilson *
cognized that faith in the omnip- * i
suce of God, which alone can bring *
ncord to the nations now at war. j *
i acknowledges and calls upon the * v
ople of this country to acknowl- * a
ge the powerlessness of man to * n
iv the awful sacrillce of blood and * ''
* o
ks that all God-fearing people of * a
e United States uuite next Sun-| * s
y in prayer to Him, whose wis- *
m and mercv can avail when the * a
unsels ot' men have come to * "
ught. It is an extraordinary * |
oclamation, but the circumstances * c
lich prompted it are also extra- * ?
.1 * 1
dinary. #
Several of the great nations of * p
e earth are now engaged in the * p
jst destructive war in history. * P
* f
llions of men are arrayed against #
ch other in mortal conflict, fight- *
< desperately and taking a fear- * s
1 toll of human life. At the same * S
s
ne millions of helpless women and ^ ^
ildrcn are left unprotected and *pp
provided for, waiting in an- * G
ish and poverty, perhaps, for the * ?
turn of their soldiers who may *
* p
ver come back to them. The * 0
^uglit of such misery and death * s
d of our inability to relieve or * o
art it, causes manv of us to turn * ''
* t
a higher power for aid. # ?
To those then, who have faith in * v
overruling Providence, the call * v
prayer is made. If we believe in * '
||
id, if we rely on His wisdom and ^
1st to His will, let us meet with * t
p other people of (lod next Sunday * n
d pray ferventlv that war mav * v
* t
use. Our cresit President bns
sely named that day, has asked g
at it be set apart for purposes of * o
ayer and it behooves us all to * a
ite our petitions to the Prince of > *
ace. It will probably touch the, * t
arts of the warring factions to * p
si that more than ninety millions *
Jfr ll
people on this side of the ocean ^
e offering prayers in their behalf * tj
d then, if it be His will, God will *
ant that universal peace and good * >

SENSIBLE TALK TO FARMERS. tl
| tj
Th eAtlvk* of Mr. .1. E. Craig is to 0
Plant (>rain. ; K
I To the Editor of The News:
There is a lot of talk now about \
the condition of our country. The i 01
war in Europe it seems has struck ! ni
>our Southland a hard lick. Cotton,!
our main money crop, it seems, is ol
hit the hardest. There is more talk n
and writing about thts one crop than fi
I have ever seen. There is a lot of L
advice being given to us to go into < <
other orops, etc., and I wish to say a n
few words or give some of my exper- j ti
ience, I have always stuck to the ' *v
plan of making food stuffs at home |
and some for the other fellow who |
lias to buy. Consequently my cot- !
ton crop is rather a side issue. I j
think I have been fairly successful
I in making corn, wheat, oats, rape, c<
turnips and hay of many kinds, b
Now 1 want to warn the people that (|
are going to try these crops that
the land must be thoroughly prei
pared for these crops and fertilized 1'
well and on good land to suceed ?
with them and must also be put in | ^
at the right time. I have never
given up sowing wheat as other peo- jj
pie did and this year I threshed 214 j,
bushels from 10 tfe acres. This I n
prepared with the two horse plow.;
and harrowed well and sowed 1 Vi _
bushels with 200 pounds acid, menl
and potash to the acre. In March I
put 100 pounds nitroate soda to the T
acre. This wheat was sowed with alj
grain drill and cut with a binder. c<
Without these two tools I would
hate to.sow much wheat. Our Mr. m
Will Drennan (the binder man) was *
out here and saw my wheat and *
oais <111 (i in* ioiu nic ne .iau ueen
over the county a lot putting up
binders and the best grain he saw
was all sowed with a grain drill. I
told him that I had heen on a trip
and that was just the way 1 viewed V
it exactly. My own neighborhood
make nearly as much grain :.s the
balance of the county ami they all
have these tools. W eat should be It
sowed about the first of Novembber o
ind oats in October and November, n
Same preparation for oats as for ti
heat. Our people go 'j a lot of ti
trouble and expense for their cotton
tnd I will guarantee if they will do a
he same for thtir grain they will T
succeed with it. This one thing Is a
what prompted me to write this a
' letter. p
Another thing I would like to cell 'I
attention to is sowing grass and t
clover for pasture. 1 used to have I
.a old lield pasture, as most people V
call it. of about 25 acres and noth- a
ing but little wild clover and pover- f
iv grass on it, that wouldn't more
than keep a cow living let alone f
help the milk problem. fi
I sowed 2 in Just below my barn p
