W c read in the paper where a
farmer in Horry county, S. C., had
grown a potato that was the exact
('^unterpart of a man. It had a head
and a body and feet and legs and
yes and nose and other manful appurtenances
thereto. Its head was
plumb full of sap. In some parts of

Dear Gee McGee:
I lease answer the following que*- 1
tion for a constant reader of NO- '
BODY'S BUSINESS: (1) Are you
married? (2) Is Clark, rfd" a
fi( titious character (3) How long
doe* it take you to write an article?
(4) What is your real name and age
and do you like or dislike short
skirts ?
Your friend,
Klva < . K.
Anderson, S. Feb. 1, 1930.
Dear Klva Seeky:
Answering your interrogations:
(1) Yes, very much: 2 off-springs.
(2) "mike Clark, rfd" is not a fictitious
character hut is a suspicious
character. (3) At home where the
family picks at nie during the oruepl,
it takes 12 minutes, ;.t the office
where the /stenographer puts her feet
on my desk and the telephone rings
?very .1 minutes and customers
"break" in every now and then, it
takes 14 minutes. (4) The girls all
call me "sweetie," the old women
point me out as "that fool," my wife
culls me "Geebus," but the bank
"calls" me Gee McGee, and 1 answer
to that. My age is between Id
and- 143, and I do not like the present
style of skirts?as they are still entity
too long to suit me. Are you
married ? If not, drop me a line
again.
Yours devotedly,
Gee McGee.
Cotton Letter
Xclw?York. Feb. 7.?Hedges and
southern selling and farm relief forced
the straddlers to caver when it
was reported that consumption for
January was 10 per cent less than
flu for December. The tariff and
Hoover's prosperity bull had very
little influence on spots, but Borah
continues a rank prohibitionist, therefore,
we look for lower prices in |
cotton and hjgjier prices for guano, j
which will be sold for cash only. We
advise shorter skirts and longer
hours.
LOOKOUT FOR OVERPRODUCTION
AGAIN
flat rock, s. C. janny the 30, 1930.
deer mr. editor;?
in the hopes of helping some other
farmers to plan their crops, i take
pleasure in writing you about what
1 am going to do in regard to same
and if advertising is skace with you,
you can print this.
i am fixing to work a 1 horso
farm this year, but she is a mule
on halvers with mr. jones who is a
lawyer and is running this farm for
the fedral land bank which has about
got it all around this place as
he bid it in for them when mr. smith
give it up onner count of a new
ottermobeel and moved to the cotton
mill which is nllse crowded to death.
i expect to join the 4-h club and
work 5 akers as a brag patch if the
farm bored gets things adjusted so's
a feller can get some guanner and'
rashions. i will use about 150 pounds
of 8-2-2 on this field and side dress
with nitritt of soda if it can be had
by margage or other wise, i understand
that 8-2-2 on a bag now means
as followers: the 8 stands for half
sand and the middle 2 stands for half
| hair and the last 2 is some more sand
so%i might not win this race.
i will ridge my 4-h field early in
may when the fish*ain't biting very
good and plant in rows laid off side
by side acrost the plot behind the
barn, that is?if i can hire a man to
do the plowing, as soon as it gets
big enuff to Chop out, i will feed our
2 chickens while my old lady chops
same out and let her side dress it at
the same time by carrying the nitritt
of soday in her apron pockets and
flinging a hand full on the cotton
now and then as she goes along. *
i will dust for the red spider and
the sharp shooter and the army worm
and the boll weevil and the bud worm
and the other pess when the cotton
begins to bloom if i can manage to
get some dust and hire a feller to
blow it on for me, (my doctor told
mc to avoid dust ansoforth onner
rount of assmer in my hed and nose,
but i am not . a strong believer in
no pi/en except the sweet kind which
looks reasonable for a pess to want
to cat.
i will pick my cotton fast and have
it ginned fast sp's to avoid hollies
as the chillun won't start to school
till in nov. and it costs twiste as
much to gin hollies than it do regular
picked out cotton by hand, somebody
has got to hussell to beat mo. so rite
or foam if you should want more
dots on how to win.
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd.

FEBRUARY FARM CALENDAR
Things to iU> lR**~This Month Am r
Outlined by ('leninon f
Buy fertilizer on it basis of pounds t.
uf plant food per acre. The cotton
plant does not know the meaning of t
analysis' t "unit", or "ratio". ,,
Use cotton seed that will make 0
one-inch staple so you can see your t
cotton made into cloth in your local 3
mill. China, India, and liussip can f
grow 7-8 inch cotton cheaper than v
you can.
Sow a few pounds of lesi>edeza, ^
carpet grass, or Dallas grass seed f
per acre for better pastures. v
Horticulture tj
Plant strawherires, dewberries, v
b lac kbe rires.
Prepare land for planting a lawn

Set out grtfpe'vffies, fruit trees, ?
and ornamental plants. ?
Plant asparagus and Irish pota- v

to get best results. Most of them !
are double-edged and can be reversed.
Animal Husbandry

ration and allow them exercise.
'
Remember the high market usual- '
ly comes in March and April, so feed
hogs well now on corn and fish meal
or other well-balanced ration. '

to maintain their weight until
grass comes, and thosp being fattened
for market a vfcell-balanced,
gradually increasing grain ration.
Dairying
Watch the young calves and yearling
heifers for lice, which at this
season do the greatest damage to
young stock.
Plan the spring pasture improvement
work and remember that any
seeding or plowing to be effective
must be done during February and
March.
Breed as many cows as possible
during February for calving in November
and early December.
Continue to repair fences, clean up
the lots and grounds, and whitewash
out buildings and fences around the
lots.
Poultry
Mate breeding pens at least two
weeks before saving hatching eggs.
For best fall layers make settings
of heavy breeds last half of February.

10 days.
Check incubator and make sure 1
everything is in working order.
Have brooder stove regulated and j
in operation one or two days before j
placing chicks in the house.

A certain well-known business*
man. who is noted for his quietness,
was in a Pullman smoker when the
general pest, well known for his inquisitiveness,
approached him and attqjnpted
to start a conversation with
this question: "How many people
\Vprk in your office?"
- *Oh," replied the quiet gentleman,
getting up and throwing his cigar
away, "I should say, at a rough guess
about two-thirds of them."
Three persons, including two women,
lost their lives at Carbondale,
Pa.v Tuesday as the result of an explosion
-and fire.

Blearing In Disguise
Evcu a three weeks' quarantine
nay prove a blessing in disguise The
ollowing letter received by the
iealth Department of an Eastern

"I wish to thank the city authoriies
for quarantining my family and
ne recently for thice weeks because
>ne of them had smallpox. During
hat time my wife caught up with her
ewing. We had three square meals
very da^, as no one came and she
vas not permitted to leave. We enoyed
