Farmers know that even where it rains irrigation can improve crop values, ft is shown that m favorable local ities, under irrigation, two crops of potatoes can be raised in one season, instead of one. In addition to doub ling the size of the ci?op, a season's irrigation 'two re than doubles its value by bringing in the first crop much earlier and getting higher price-* i'?i (' , earlier potatoes.

Feb 1 f>2fl ((ambling Through the Mid-South Improved train service and fine roads for motoring art* bringing tho Virginian, the Carolina*, Georgia and Tennewep nearer and nearer to the great cities of the North. It in the 1 purpose of The Spur to keep it* read era posted to the marvelous prog ress of this important chain of states, both a>i to thetr appeal to tourists and their desirability for winter residence. With 'this in mind John Vavasour Noel, the well-known traveler and writer, is motoring through all the , important points between Washing ton and the lower \ boundary of : Georgia to gather the material for a (series pf illustrated article* on the , Mid-South, to appear in the Spur next autumn. I ' Mr. Noel will aim in thes*< articles ' to be tailed "Rambles Through the ; Mid-South," not only to. describe the welt known resorts, but to touch upon new developments in this favored I region, to <1 wo 11 on the splendid clubs for sportsmen and others; (,Jjat are in the process of development a'ud to tell how some of the cities and commun ities are preparing for the peaceful invasion of the tourist and winter res ident. The Mid-South has long been popu lar. with those who prefer a more bracing climate than that found far ther South. Its constant growth and impetus ? due possibly .to the general interest in Southern resorts? tails for a broader treatment and recognition for the coming season. Headers of The Spur are always re ceptive to information about new re sorts or of progress and improvement in those already established. Their patronage is valued because they are leaders and cieate the fashion yin re sorts as well as in clothes and other things. That is why The Spur, Foreshadow ing a demand next season for infor mation on the resorts., of the, Mid South thus anticipating coming events in harmony with its policy of service to its readers. Mr. Noel has already visited Vir ginia and North Carolina and is now in Camden for few days at the Kirk wood. He vr-Hl leave shortly for Charleston, Savannah, and then across to Augusta and other Mid Sou-t(h resorts. Readers of The Spu>* will watch with interest for com ments on his visit to Camden ^-thv > gl owing Southern resort town.

And Josh Billings said a mouthful when he made the foregoing remark. Just about the time the farm i* paid for and things a/e beginning to look good and the farmer has a little money in the banks, some kind of* proposition will .conn* along that looks like easy money. Thatls the time to bo careful! Stork salesmen and men with these "good propositions" never visit the rural sections except after gootl crop years! It s hard enough to make money hut investing and savvig it are still harder. Ordinarily farmers, arc supposed to be very conservative jfnd .shrewd; j but .somehow or Other t*he slickers manage to get some of that h^rd earpod cash with promises of large dividends. Usually the lower the dividend yield the less chances for loss. When that fellow offers you some thing that he says will pay big ' that's the time to be careful! With a little cash surplus in the bank, you have a hand fpll of trumps and remember what Josh Billiugi said. One of the e?Ve?rt things to run into seems to be debt. Sometimes it { . . lis hard to. back out, too. I . Borrowing money is a fine thing j at tim^s, and it. seems as if the man ? who never borrowed money* never ! Inade very much, but sometimes we I all go too . deep, and find it hard to get out. Banks are anxious to help a worthy person or enterprise and they like to play shy of a plunger or of a speculative enterprise. Borrow money by all means, if you see that you can make it pay you' more than it costs you; but don't borrow m<(ney for plans that promise too big returns and that have too speculative a chance to go. Then, when you get the money back from your business pay some back right away. Ft seems to find a way : to get loose and debts grow bigger ? faft. Monroe Enquirer. THINCJS WORTH KNOWING.
