Ho was a fine citizen ami had l.v?d a Useful life and everybody loved and respected him. (Ho weigned about 'Jit, pounds.) I wore a light linen suit to thi* funeral. Tbe day of the week was Sunday. The month of the year was August. The time of the day was a p. m., rather early for such an occasion. The temperuturo was al,out ! ? in the shade, but there wasn't any shade.

Use Rented Acres For Sake of Land Clem,son College, Fob. 17.?To the many cotton farroern who have tallied to provide adequately for the fain* lily living and livestock fwdsttlffl : from the farm, l>r. NV, W. Ivong, di| rector of the Extension Service, calls attention again to the fact that the cotton contract being signed by farmers permits and encourages the production uf food and feed for home sujiptk'A on the rented acres. Since low yields from lands set aside heretofore for growing home supplies are partly responsible for this shortage of home-grown foods and feeds, Dr. Long suggests that a double result of soil enrichment and food and feet! production may be accomplished- by increasing legume crops, permanent | pasture and the like. In this connection here Is what J. J'hil Campbell . of the Replacement Crops Section? AAA, says as to use of contracted acres: "Any farmer whose land produces ,V?.- than one-half bale of cotton per ace will make a serious mistake if lie does not plant the contracted acres tt !e-pt de/.a, cow peas, soybeans or other legume crops. "Legume crops include many varieties. There is a legume suitable for almost every part of the cotton belt. Lc-spedeza Is widely adapted to cotton growing lands. I here is an abundance of lospedeza seed available The method of seeding is simple, and the time of planting in the cotton belt will range from January 1 ">, to March. L>. This is the time of the year when the farm labor is available for terracing and planting to soilimproving and erosion-preventing crops. No crop will tU into this program better than lespedeza. "Erosion or washing removes about twenty times as much soil fertility per acre as crops taken out each year. Wherever in the South the soil i.> not held by freezing, the loss of plant food from erosion in the winter is serious. "Improved pastures are needed and would more than pay their way in ahno-L every cotton-growing region. Loth permanent and temporary pastures might well he grown on much <>f reacted c<?ttop acreage."

WWCTMBRi A Garden Pays In Many Ways The home vegetable garden is an important factor in providing an adequate food supply. A garden that furnishes a family of five with: nourishing food throughout the year, will save about $(5i>o.oo in money and1 much more in doctor's bills and med- j icinos. The need of tonics and other . medicines in the spring of the year J is due largely to lack of vegetables in the winter diet, (ireen vegetables; are valuable for their supply of min-1 orals and vitamins that are so essent in; to good health. i Now that the Fall plantings have been kiiied by the cxr.\s.?,\. cold to' h 'mo g.ird: < i - i- a" xh-u - 1 > g.

Keep the bed moist but not soggy. One of the Lest suggestions for the use of land taken out of cotton is to use it for enlarging and improving the home garden so that the family will have not only a more plentiful hut also a better food supply.
