Crops Need New Land
For Good Results.
The acreage of certain crops this
year can be greatly increased b;>
breaking new land where such land is
near farms already in operation, according
to the specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Assuming that all cultivated land will
continue to be farmed, this use of
new land now offers the largest op
portunity for increased acreage ol
lb] 7 crops. This applies to the
prairie region in general, but principally
to the Great Plains. The
breaking up of new land provi ics for
crops that would otherwise be put or.
present cultivated land. If these new
lands should not he ready in time for
crops of the present season, they
should he in excellent condition for
wheat next fall or for wheat or some
other crop next spring. The farmer
is not urged to use new land to the
neglect of his usual farm operations
or to attempt more than he can carry
out in the way of breaking new land
with his available labor and equipment.
Crops Adapted to New Breaking.
The crops that are known to do
best on new breaking in the Great
Plains at\d prairie regions general1;/
are flax, corn, sorghum (kafir, milo.
sorgo, or sweet sorghum), broom
corn, and beans. Such vine crops as
squashes, pumpkins, etc, can sometimes
be grown to advantage with
corn, kafir, or ther tilled crops
where live stock is available to utilize
them before freezing weather in the
fall. In some cases the total production
per acre can be increased by
growing two crops together, such as
corn and pumpkins where these are
adapted.
Flax.?Flax is adapted to the north
em plains, especially to Montana, the
Dakotas, and western Minnesota.
The acreage of flax can probably be
increased to a great extent on new
land in this district. It can be sown
late in the season and is well adapted
to newly broken land; in fact, it is
the crop most largely used on breaking
in the region where flax is
grown.
Sorghum.?The sorghums (kafir,
milo, sorgo or sweet sorghum) should
Dc: used extensively in the Great
Plains from Nebraska southward.
These crops are better adapted than
corn to districts where the rainfall is,
low. Where co / often fails on ac-1
count of drought, the sorghums may
make a fair crop. The acreage of
sorghum can be largely increased on
new breaking, where old ground is
already taken for other crops, at com
paratively small cost.
Broom corn.?Broom .corn .ran be
grown on the sod land and leave that
much acreage for other crops. It is
adapted to the southern half of the
Great Plains.
Be:;ns?Beans are a good crop or. I
new breaking. They are being used i
with good results in Colorado and thr 1
southern plains. The Mexican or
Pinto hcan is largely employed and is |
already increasing greatly a rex' ;
f tuple crop, ?;i pilar t .> cereals.
Seed ar.d Labor.
The two thing's that muy interfere|
with this great addition to the food
crop acreage are lack of seed and labor.
Fortunately not much seed will
be required for corn and the sorghums?from
f> to 8 pounds per acre
for the former and from o to f>
pounds for the latter. In the extreme
southwestern plains the soil is sometimes
loose enough to be disked and
harrowed and thereby put into good
Don't Neglect the Summit Cold.
We "catch cold" in warm weather
because colds are germ diseases an
our vitality is too low to resist them.
To kill those cold germs, the antisep
nine-tar of Dr. Hell's Pine-TarHoney
is famously effective, beside

OBIT 1'A K Y.
Henry L. W. Johnson was horn
July U. 1835, of Scotch-Irish parentage,
and departed this life May 31,
I hi 7, aged SI years, 10 months and 17
days. He was a son of Daniel and
Annie Mux Johnson, all of Horry
County, S. C. He was married lo
Miss Kliza A. Johnson about the y\ir
1856, to whom were born 14 children,
five of which: Caroline, Margaret, (
Sam, Nancy and Daniel preceded him
to the spirit world; and nine, Charley
W., Andy M., Alva H., Tolitha Bersl.eba
Kay, Lewis S., Whiteford YV\,
hlizabeth Merctt, Nora Rogers, and
C.eorge Cornelius Johnson, survive
him. He made a profession of religion
about 61 years ago at Cool
Spring campground under the ministry
of Rev. Ogburn, who preached
fiom Rev. 3-18: "1 council thee to
buy of me gold tried in the fire that
tiiou muyest be rich ami white raiment
that thou mayest he clothed."
Penitents were called and Uncle Henry
(as we all learned to call him)
tren a young man wont forward for
prayer while the first verse was being
sung of the old, hymn:
44Woe to the men on earth who dwell,
And dread not the Almighty's
frown;
When God doth all His wrath reveal,
And shower His judgments down."
Sinners expect those heavy showers,
To meet your God prepare,
For low the seventh angel pours
His vile upon the air.
low from the seats the mountain
cops,
The mountains are not found,
IVansparted far into the deep,
And in the ocean drowned.
Who then can live and face the throne
And face the judge severe.
When Heaven and earth are fled and
gone
Oil, where wilt thou appear."
Afte?* he had been a* the altar for (
'.me time the preacher uske I any one
p e ont who was interested in the sal
votion of sou!.;, to take the per. i ten ta
and go out and pray with them.
And Bev. P.i'lie Cannon took Paj.
.Johnson out beside t lio Chinnl*
Svamp whom ho was converted. Ho
lived his religion until the day of his
death. It was during tho same meeting
he was married to F'liza Johnson.
He was stricken with paralysis sev (
oral years ago from which he suffered
much, but bis suffering is over
now. Bro. Johnson was a truly good
man having lived a constant Christian
life for many long years, along
with his good wife, of whom it is sa d
she was as good a woman as he was a
man. She preceded him to the spirit
world by over 13 years, having p?t.4bed
on before Dec. 1903. He was funeralized
from Psalms 37-37: "Mark
tho perfect man and behold the upright
for the end of that man is
peace," and his earthly remains were
laid to rest in the old Johnson gravyard
at Clethsemene Baptist church.
