TIMELY COUNSEL TO FARMERS.! The Necessity of Planting Large Grain Crops Pointed Out. Editor County Record:? While we have been b'essed in j this State with an average cotton crop in many sections and with a j * I price that is remunerative, i rear that the financial relief that is coming to many of our farmers will maKe them forget the necessity at this time of seeding a large grain crop, especially oats, and, I would add, some wheat. I call attention to the advisability of seeding these two grain crops from the fact that the corn crop in many of the great corn producing Spates of the West is a failure. In many sections it is an absolute failure and the present prices of corn in the Western markets, and reflected in our local markets, should make us realize the j nesessity of seeding a large crop of J oats and, in many cases, wheat, in order to supplement the crop of corn that we are now harvesting. It is not too much to expect that corn next spring and summer/ will be selling for $1.25 cash and $1.50 more on credit per bushel. Surely the possibilities of such prices is enough to make us stop and thinlf and the farmer who has not produced a sufficient supply of corn for man and beast certainly will be very much in his own light if he does not seed as large a crop of grain as it is possible for him to do. I have mentioned the seeding of wheat, not from the fact that it is a paying market crop in our State, but I am one of those who believe that every farmer should make all of his supplies at home, for it is my observation that those who practice this method of agriculture are generally the men wo are prosperous. It u a ti7 ncrps nn each wuuiu utrwc "hij a *vn farm to supply every family with flour enough for home consumption. W W Long, State Agent and Sup't of Extension. 9 m Common Errors of Speech. Every intelligent person is always progressing and is never indifferent in matters of culture. It careless habits of speech have been formed,a determined effort to correct them will lead to good results. Many persons who consider themselves well educated make the mistake of using the participle "got" ^ in connection with the verb "to 1 A have." They say: "Have you got ' the key?" "Who has got my book?" i instead of ''Have you the key?" "Who has my book?" Mistakes of everyday occurrence are "Who did you give it to?" | "n" - lL:- inptoqfl r?f fhp wno IS U1I5 1U1. Iuevvw. -- correct expressions "To whom did you give it?" "For whom is this?" Frequently one hears these errors i in grammar: "I intended to have ] bought a pair of gloves," instead of ; "I intended to buy a pair of gloves." j "It was no use asKing him," instead < of "It was no use to ask him;" "Try i and persuade her to go," instead of "Try to persuade her to go." It would seem unnecessary to tell any one not to use the present tense i instead of the past tense when men- ; tioning what another has said, yet a ] careless person may be heard saying j "he says" instead of "He said." < Other faults are to say "A great j wavs." "Somewheres," "There's j plenty of places." ] The contraction "don't" for "do ) not" should never be used with a 1 singular noun or pronoun. It is i correct to say "He does not," and not "He don't." It is important to i remember the objecti\e form of the j first person singular when a noun i and a pronoun or two pronouns fol- < lowtfa verb, and not to say "Ethel < asked Mary and I to go," but "Ethel ] asked Mary and me to go." If one is confused about the use of pronouns in a sentence of this sort, an , easy rule is to separate them and * use each one with the verb, thus: ( "Ethel asked Mary" and "Ethel , asked me." In this way the gram- j matical form is seen. , It is correct to say "A summer day," not "A summer's day." "Cut the apple in two" or "in halves," not "cut the apple in half." "I cut the ribbon off this piece," not "off of this piece." The child 1 threw it on the floor," not "onto the floor." "Whether" is a word that indicates a choice of things, and should not be placed at the head of each part of a sentence. For instance, it is incorrect to repeat it, thus: "I have not decided whether I shall go to Boston or whether 1 shall stay at home."
