Tills tract of over Two Thousand Aero? has boon divided up into more than Twenty Tracts, containing from Twenty-Five to Ono Hun dred and Seventy-Five Acres each-and all Extra Strong, Red Land -and will average better and moro lovel timn any other land in Oconeo County, not even excepting tho lino lands around Oakway and Fair Flay. The average price is only $.>0.00 per acre, and on terms of One Fourth Cash, and Hie balance on time-Ono-Fourth each year for throe years. There ls not a tenant farmer in Oconeo County who, if he has got anything in him at all, cannot buy himself a homo on tlieso terms and oas|ly pay for it. Think ot the difference between Thirty lul lars an Aero and Two to Four Hundred I>ollars an Acre-tho price of other lands in the County-not any bettor-not even so good a? this land! There ls another thing to bo said for this land: It hus boon proved by actual tests that it raises Just as good cotton-and just ns much per acre-as any of tho lands in tho lower part of the county. And there is stRl one moro important thing to bo said, to-wit, that this land will never be invaded by tho boll weevil. DON'T YOU THINK IT WISE to get In on it while it is stiU so cheap? Just imagine what it will seU for when the groat National Highway mentioned above is com pleted, so as to make it a ten to twenty-minute drive and a down hill pull to market at Walhalla* And it is worth considering that tills is practically now tho only large body of land loft in this county which still hus on it tho origi nal Forest Pine Timber for building purposes. Many of tho tracts are so heavily timbered as to, when cut, furnish lumber enough to pay tho whole purchase price of the land.

Right now ls tho Mv?e to select i your cotton sood fe planting next | year. It means dollr and cents to ! you (when the mar. goes up) to j have seed that ropi. nt the heat and most fruitful, jus. ns it means I dollars and cents to the dairyman to j weed out his unproductive cows. j Go into your fields and select tho j most fruitful stalks, after you hnvo set a standard for the lowest yield ing that you will select from, and mark tho'stalks that aro most fruit ful, compact and hardy, and with salk and bolls that are true to tho variety planted. Do not allow any of the plckors to gather from these stalks. Mark tho stalks with a red string or tag after removing some of the leaves at tho top to mako the mark visible. Have this cotton picked separately "and ginned on a epecial ginning day which I hope we can have set aside late this fall. Or If it is ginned sooner do not uso the llrst third of tho seed for planting, rs the seed will ho mixed, hut'use tho last two-thirds of the seed ginned, catching them in a different wagon or container. Unfortunately, we have a largo number of varieties planted in Oco nee oounty. This is bad for the com munity, and lt has proven had for us. Wo have no reputation as a cot ton market, such as Lavonia enjoys, largely for this very reason. Lavo nia has been growing Cleveland Big Boll for some time, and the buyers know that, this variety gives a staplo in this section of ono inch to one and one-sixteenth Inch. They know that they can get this staple at Lavonia, and they have been getting lt there for special mills at a premium over other cotton. A mill cannot tolorato mixed sta ple, as the machinery is sot for cer tain staple, and better cloth is made from uniform staple. Cleveland Mg Boll gives this extra staplo. You may grow Cleveland Big Boll, but your neighbor grows Half and Half, or Cook's, or something else, and when you gin he mixes some of his with yours, so that you have no uni form staple lo soil. And the mills know that no certain staple cotton comes from Oconee, .and therefore they go to Lavonia and other places to buy, where they know the major ity uso this extra staplo cotton. Therefore, we need one variety for the county-a variety which has ex tra staple to bring a premium of one to two cents a pound, and a variety which is well adapted lo the county) -and I am told by men who nre well Informed on cotton thnt this variety which 'suits these requirements ls WSJUiajn.aker's-_Cleveland-Big 'Roll. Clemson cotton brooding exports ala"0 gave ('tis variety the beat nvoni mondnation for earline s, which is one ot' \ i r g> ie?l?sl requirements i It our ditty, then, to nee that the iii jt rily of the farmers plant this one . variety next year, so that the mixing o? seed will bo practically eliminated, and that staple cotton commanding a . premium will be grown universally. It means dollars In our pockets to work for this goal. Geo. R. Briggs, County Agent. Card of Thanks.

And then Mr. Byers, our County Agent, says tho boll weevil will probably spread all over Audorson Coun ty, lt has boen spreading over since lt started up tn Mexico, some thirty odd years ugo, and so fur shows no sign wita te vee of stop ping. The Greenville Nows of September 15til reports the boll weevil has entered certain townships in Greenville County. When wo have wet Julys and Augusts it will be very damaging to the cotton crop, and so lt will pay every fellow to make hi? living nt homo, Besides, it will pay every farmer to sow wheat, to got tho stubble. This stubble puts his land in such fine lix to make un extra crop tho following year. Throe acres to tho plow will do the business, Thoroughly propnro ns early as you can three acres to tho plow, get a good seed bed, and then as soon after tho first killing frost as you cnn, sow in tho drill four or five pocks of wheat to tho nero, fertilize with ?100 pounds of oar 10-2-2.' Sow in tho drill, ns you will get. tho seed more evenly distributed and nt a more uniform depth, and it will stand tho winter bettor, mid you will got fur better results. 15 es i des better results you will got better bread tlmn you can got from ?ny Hour you omi buy, mut your broad will cost you very little. Tho wheat straw will pay for tho fertiliser. Thor? is a good demand for wheat straw. Follow tho stubblo with peas, and pick the pens. You can't supply tho demand for peas nt top prices. Follow tho peas with rye, cut tho rye in tho spring just . when your stock and cattle need some green feed; follow tho rye with cotton fertilized with ooo pounds of our H-:i-:i to tho acre, and you cnn inapto five bales of cotton on tho three acres. The cotton seed will ordinarily pay for thc fertilizer! That, three acres to tho plow will pay you bettor than any other three acres you will cultivate. Tho wheat, peas, rye and cotton will cost, you so little, and your crops will be abundant mid your bread will bo wholesome. There ls very little appendicitis with people who moko their own foodstnil's, mid then you will bo keeping your money in your own bank account. Sow four or five pocks to tho acre. Tho Good Book says If you sow sparingly you will reap sparingly. Wo all like to reap nnuiiulnut measure. The way (o do that ls to prepare thoroughly, fertilize liberally, sow liberally in tho drill after thu first killing frost. Put down fertilizer; tho straw will pay for it. lt is a good time to begin planning to sow your wheat. You can make tilings flt. in better when you plan ahead. Any year is a good year to sow oats, und this is no exception by nny means. Prepare thoroughly and sow, as carly ns you can, three acres to tho plow. Sow ii^ tho drill and fertilizo with 400 pounds of our 10-2-2 to tho acre. Your crop will como on next season Just at tho height of the work season, and your stock will do better if you teed thom freely on oats when they ure doing their Imi-dest work. It does look Uko the mules' needs and com forts und appetites should be consulted a little, seeing that their work is indispensable in making a crop. Oats aro profitable when you make good crops, and you can make good crops when you prepare well mid early, and fertilize liberally. Sow eight or ten pecks lo tho acre in the drill, follow with pens and ryo and cotton, mid tho crops will bo cheap mid your lands will improve No trouble about a humper crop of cotton after that. Tho farmers soein to be Interested in sowing cover crops this fall, mid those cover crops need fertilizer. Wo have tho fertilizer, and lt is for salo. . . ' Anderson Phosphate & Oil Co** W. F.
