PLANNING WORK ON THE
Farm essential
for success.
Farmers should plan their
work so as to be ready to do the
right thing at right time. To
be successful in farming, it is
just as essential that operations
be systematized as it is ihat
system -is neccessary In any
. other bnsiness.' Some farm
work, such as repairing, build
ing fences, etc., can be done at
any season of the year, while
feeding, preparing the soil,
planting, cultivation, harvesting
and marketing must be done
when all the conditions are
favorable for that particular
work to get the best results.
The farm employs who wants
to succeed and earn the reputa
tion for dependability cannot
afford to neglect doing his work
on time doing it when it should
be done. He cannot afford to
put off till tomorrow the task
assigned for today. It does not
matter" in what capacity we work J
we have responsibilties. Some
body is depening on us. And in
order to do our work well and at
the right time, we must plan for
each day and week.
In a former article I discussed
the value of dependability, espe
cially in its relation to work on
the fasm. There is a time to do
certain things on the farm, and
upon certain ones on the farm
depends the responsibility for
doing it or seeing that it is
done and done well.
The farmer is a business man
or should be. He must know
with definiteness and sKill many
things. He must know when to
plant and what to plant in cer
tain soils. He must know how
wisley to choose cattle for feed
ing; to buy feedstuffs wisley for
them, such as he cannot produce
himself and may have to buy;
and he must know how to feed
them economically.
BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINED YOUNG
MEN ON THE FARM:
There -is no better business
than farming, and there is none
that offers a better guarantee of
independence to the man who
will give the business proper
study. Thousand of wealthy
men are today wise enough to be
acquiring landed estates, rfost
of them desire to live upon them,
at least part of the time. They
are searching for men who know
how to manage these estates.
. They are willing to pay gener
ously for trained young men
who have the ability to manage
farms, and get the best out of
them. They want the young
men who know how. There are
not nearly enough trained young
men to do this work. The De
partment of Agriculture fre
quently receives lettters from
owners of large farms who want
the service of capable farm
managers.. And I regret to say
that there are very few who can
be recommended who are not
already employed at good salar
ies.
It is a well known and de-
ulorable fact that the bovs and
irirls in recent years have been
drifting from the farms to the
cities, and this has been one of
the chief couses of the increased
mat of living. There are not
mouzh people on the land pro
ducing the foodstuffs and mate
rial for clothing. There must be
a movement back to the farm.
And there h no better opportuni-
ty for the bright and jnteljigent
firm dot than to maxe a special
To The Voters of Jackson
County.
I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for re-election to the
office of Trustee.
It h is been the custom in this
county for many years, that
when a party has filled the office
of Trustee and made an efficient
officer, to honor him with the
office the second Time. I have
filled the office of Trustee one
term and the records show, for
themselves, how well I have per
formed the duties of the office,
and every citizen of this county
is mvited to inspect these re
cords. While I do not rely on-
custom, or tradition to elect me
to the office, which I seek, I do
rely on my record, both as a
private citizen and.' a public
official.
In case you should honor me
with your confidence, and re
elect me as County Trustee, I
will endeavor to do, in the
future, that which I have done
in the past: Perform the duties
of the office to the best of my
skill and ability, according to
one and all a courtious and fair
treatment"
I will endeavor to see every
citizen of Jackson County be
fore the August election, and to
talk the matter over with each
of them, and to lay my claim to
the office before them. How
ever, if circumstances be such,
that I fail to see you before that
time, I do most sincerley and
earnestly solicit your vote and
influence, and when you go to
cast your ballot for Trustee will
ask that you consider the matter
from every standpoint, and that
after doing so you place thereon,
your choice.

abuut LABOR "Labor not for the meat
that perisheth biit for that which endur
eth unto eternal life." John: 6-27.
God says that to Christian believers. He doesn't
much care what other people labor for. As long as
they are self-willed and have their back turned on Him
they might as well have as good a time as they can,
working for what they liKe.
But the true believer is cared for by God, especially
as long as he keeps working for things that endure unto
life eternal. What are those things? Three, surely:
"Now abideth Faith, Hope, Love." Faith in God as
revealed in Jesus Christ, though the ihfalliable Word
of God Hope, in the one solution of all earth's prob-
lems in a benevolent autocracy, presided over by that
Godman whom the world rejected Love, which in its
very essence is eternal because God is Love.
Get right with God "through Jesus Christ, you
fellownen, and go to work for these thing and don't
worry about having three meals a day and a place to
sleep,
The most miserable people in the world are they
who are forever 'sticking up for their own rights.
And the happiest are those who sweat in a God-inspired
effort to bring God's Faith and His Hope and His Love
into some other fellow's life.
anywhere in this section of the
state. The 80 head of Jersey's
brought $19,210. These were
compsed of x cows and calves.
However, this was a general
average of a little better than
$2-10,00 per head. That was
very good money, considering
the number of calves that he
had among them, I might add
that these cattle were all of the
Island bred type.
On Friday evening the Claxton

if you anticipate coming to the

be wise to make your reserva

Work of the new building is
progressing nicely.
