HERE IS A FARMER 4 WHO IS THE REAL THING. In the last Issue of the Carolinian, published at St. Matthews, S. C., was printed the following interview with a Calhoun county planter whose name was not given: "I have read with intense interest the various interviews which appeared in the last Carolinian. My success in farming is due largely to the fact that I produce on my farm feed and food crops sufficient for myself, my wages bands, share croppers and all j * of my stock and cattle. I have not i purchased a pint of corn meal, grits, Ji syrup, milk or a pound of meat, lard !' butter, or hoy in the last 25 years. "From actual experience I can ' state that Bermuda grass makes the!' most valuable pasture In this country. Some years ago I carefully pre-j: ? pared a tract of land, fertilized it j and sodded it with carefully selected 1 Bermuda grass, being very careful to get Bermuda and not joint grass. I j turned tnis into a pasture and from year to year have added to same, so that now I have one of the finest i pastures in this section for my hogs, horses, mules, cattle and poultry. For many years I have been planting wheat and oats for my hay crop, cutting some in the rough state. Wheat makes one of the finest hays in America, however, it is necessary to have a little suffer land for wheat , than for oats. "Farmers make a serious mistake , of not rotating their lands. The same crop should not be planted on the same laud from year to year. "The discovery of the value of the velvet bean has added enormously to the value of my farming. I Plant velvet h?nne In everv V>ill nf my corn, cut the corn, shock and shred it, and it makes the largest Quantity of valuable hay that it is possible to produce in this section. It absolutely solves the hay question. For several years I have been not only planting enough hay for niv own needs, but sufficient to raise money lot largely operating my farms. In addition to this I have greatly added to the fertility of my soil by the use of the velvet bean. I make my > winter pasture by leaving certain fields in which I have planted with velvet beans ungathered. so that I have all the year round pasture with ^ velvet beans and Bermuda grass. For the present year, in addition to planting 90-day speckle velvet beans, I will plant the busli velvet bean in the middle of the rows between my corn. This is a very valuable crop and is easily harvested. It produces large quantities of beans, which are more easily threshed than the running velvet beans. You can gather Vin anf (rn V?uoV?

In selecting your benns you can easily run them through a bean culler and get the good sound beans. For my stock, especially hogs, I also plant sweet potatoes and peanuts." -? HIGH TOST OF PUBLISHING PAPERS Atlanta, May 11?Atlauta daily papers as well as other dailies throughout the South, are still forced to meet mounting costs, according to local publishers. Few people realize, as publishers here point out that the cost of proi dueing a modern daily newspaper is a3 great as the cost of operating a manufacturing plant employing many more people than a newspaper may employ. This ia due, it is stated to several circumstances, one being that me newspaper requires more SKinea and high priced men than the average manufacturing plant. Another re&Bon is that newspaper expenses cover a wider field than any manufacturing concern. Aside from the wages paid to the men and women employed on a newspaper, the light, power, white paper ink and the hundred and one other things entering into the production of a newspaper there are heavy ex^ penses with which only publishers ^ who have to meet the bills are familiar. For instance, the leased telegraph wires that bring the news of the world directly into the office of a newspaper are a burden of expense, a9 well as the cost of the presa service they carry. Postage and the expense of sending the papers to sub* ecrihers at homo and abroad cost thousands of dollars annually. Telegraph and telephone tolls on news sent by correspondents are big items, jr In fact a modern daily newspaper j has a thousand expenses to meet and B only two sources of revenue?circula. B tion and advertising. The statement Is made by an At' | lanta daily that It costs approximate' 1 y $5,000 a day to produce Its paper. This, the paper sayg is an increase of more than 400 per cent in five i. years. The figures in a general way, according to local publishers, are true V> VTV< / U15 iicnnjmyci 111 lilt) CUUUtry, and the smaller dailies of Georgia and other sections have expenses proportionately as large. o it'"' JiATE L.ATTA NEWS.
