life ?wor#.'' ' *
Discussing flip- enormous pr^ts ,he
has made, Ponsii said that bantyiSs and"
brokers can easily understand how he
has made 100 per cent and that tJhey
have been doing plenty for themselves,
but that iiis plan for making money for
the public as well is what has caused
him to be so much talked about and
fall under official observation.
(Pomizl said he got. -Ms big idea last
August, when after writing to a main
in Madrid on a matter of business he
received an 'international coupon with
wfoich to -buy stamps for the mailing
of a magazine to his Madrid corres
pondent. Ponzi said that the coupon
he got from <Spa|m- cost the equivalent
of one cent in -American riaoney, the
international value being six cents,
being redeemable at five cents the
government getting" the .sixth cent to
defray the expenses of - the coupons.
Wlhen he* exchanged tfoe coupon for
which only one cent had been paid for
five cents, Ponzl saw the possibilities of
making money while forelgn/ exchange
rates are so depreciated and at once
started the business.
He raised as much as he could and
then borrowed from countrymen, giving
them his promissory notes. His first
operations were small, tout the profits
were more than 100 per cent, and he
soon, toad no difficulty in borrowing.
Investors who had reserved 60 per cent,
interest in ninety days advertised the
business, and he was soon supplied
with all the capital he needed.
Ponzi refuses to tell how he gets the
coupons or disposes of t/hem in such
quantities, but says his method is not
illegal. By May tola business had
grown* to enormous proportions. Pon
zl says that he took in about $25,000

Plant a Cover Crop in Your Fields.
We must not forget that farming is
no longer a matter of planting eom and
cotton in toe spring time, harvesting in
the fall, and calling It a year's work.
Under our present system farming is
a year round job and the planning far
mer is t'l;^ winning farmer.
There are a number of things that
must he done this fall if we are to
keep up with our diversifying neigh,
bor?, and the$e( things must be fitted
in with cotton picking, corn gathering,
hahvesting the late crop of hay ^mak
ing syrup and marketing everything.
We start with a few of thes? funda
mentals and work out a plan now that
will make this easier.
We are In need of cover , crops on
the farms for grazing, soil building,
and hay. Winter cover crops have a
special value on Southern farms. They
protect the land from washing, prevent
loss of plaint food by leaching, furnish
grazing for livestock during the winter
months, and in the spring may be plow
ed under to the great benefit of the
soil, Or may be left for harvest, for
hay, grain or seeds.
Oats and wheat for .grain, rye and
burr clover f^r grazing and green
manure, vetcfo Sbwn with oats for tray
are crops that are well *rortfc their,
place on any farm jn this section, of
tbe country. .
Following the outbreak of the War
there was a great decrease in the acre
age sown to cover crops due to labor
shortage, high priced seed, unsettled
conditions, and particularly to the stress
of food production. We should now en
deavor to regain this lost ground and
again turn to suitable cover crops as
a part of the farm system. Every
farm should have its cover crops.
Peach trees cftould be mounded now
In order to bury the borer to keep him
