November First (Quarter Full Moon I.sst Quarter. New Moon The sun rises today 6:14. at 7 03, seta at A CURIOUS YEAR. 1911 will be remembered at one of the strangest agricultural years ever known in this section of the South. Farmers of long exporienou have noted that it is an unusual good fortune to make on Barnwell lands, as a whole, full cropa of corn and cotton the aame year. If the rain fall Is all that eorn requires It is too much for cotton, whirb is a sun plant that needs and re jolcea in drv weather. While the aver age eorn crop of the oountv haa been disappointing some farmers have made the laigett yields of their Uvea. The Williamson plan of crowding the stand sad fertilizing with a lavish hand has been, we are told, a general failure, while the old fa*hlnned way of giving good distance and using liftle commer- ci*i fertilizer bs* been a* generally sat isfying. These results have been man ifest on the same farms, tke pet, well fed sera* having produced only nub bin*, and not too many of them, while the unfertilized fields with their live f et rows have borne crops like they did in-old times, or even better. •T •« 7 A#* G» Money to Itnd on drat mortffegu uf reel uMtte.
