* What do you think of this plucky-*an ? He is W. C. White and helives in the little town of Ingle-nook, near Birmingham, Alabama.When a child three years old hefeil against a sharp corner of atable and tore out one es his eyes.A year later he was totally blind.His parents were extremcl) poor

He was sent away to the Schoolfor the Blind at Talladega, Ala-bama, only after country doctorshad said he would not only be acripple for the rest of his life butwould probably die or go insane.* But even as a small, undersized,weak boy, he decided that life wassweet, so he determined to win

Given his choice he decided on afuture of music and before thetenth session of the school hadpassed he was “tuigied loose” fromthe school as a finished and ac-complished musician.

While still a boy, White gavepiano recitals in Birmingham thatcaused a sensation. But he wasnot satisfied to stop here. Withhis earnings he became a partnerand General Manager of the Whiteand Wallace Garage at Inglenook.Despite his blindness he masteredevery detail of the automobile andso well informed was he from amechanical standpoint that he be-came an authority.

1And then White broadened out.

In 1914 he bought out and there-after managed a baseball teamwhich netted him a small fortune.While engaged in these pursuits heorganized an orchestra of eightypieces, became its leader, businessmanager and owner and as a sideline he learned shorthand and type-writing, becoming expert in both.

Today, White is included in the“more than rich” class. * He is in-terested in a dozen enterprises allof which are paying propositions.

Cotton Durting MachineryOrders for cotton dusting machin-

ery can be placed at the First Nat-ional Bank of Lyons or with the Mo-ern Farm Implement Company ofVidalia. These are cooperative or-ders and we would like to have asmany of them in as early as possi-ble.

The Frank’s two row Duster forone mule and the Perfection Dustercan be ordered through these places.

The Feany Hand Gun can be se-cured through the same places or thechecks can be turned over to me butmade out to one of the above twoconcerns.

Calcium arsenate can still be or-dered from Harry Talley who has•arranged for the agency for one ofthe manufacturers.

Cotton and Corn Fertilizer\

The recommendations recently is-sued through one of the agricultural

papers advising a 10-4-4 or a 10-4-2for cotton is good. A 10-3-3 isequally good if a little top dressing

of nitrate of soda is applied jujjsjt fof nitrate of soda is applied ust afterchopning. The trouble with most ofus we wait too late to apply nitrate jof soda as a wide dressing. Thosewho use a 9-2-3, and there are many

farmers who do, should apply 75 ipounds of nitrate of soda to the acrejust ahead of the first plowing afterchopping. The fertilizer test at Mr.E. J. Giles showed that a 10-2-4 hadenough ammonia in the 2 per cent if|50 pounds of nitrate of soda was ap-plied just after chopping. Farmerswho will take note of that and use a9-2-3 or 10-3-3 with the top dress-ing can save some on their fertilizercost.

For corn use an 8-4-0 or prefer-ably a 10-4-0. Potash has not paidunder field condition tests so far un-der corn. A top dressing of 75pounds of sodr when the corn iswaise high will help make a good 1corn crop. Farmers wishing to use ja cheaper grade of fertilizer can get |a 10-2-0 and use 100 pounds of sodato the acre when waist high. Sodacertainly pays under corn when usedat the right time. If, though, you jwait until corn is bunching to tassel iit is too late to apply seda.

/

Remember fertilizer will not make jcotton when the weevils ruin thesquares. Good fertilization can only;hurry up your crops and make them jset more fruit, but it is necessary tohold that fruit if you wish to makeopen bolls that count in getting balesYear after' year it will pay to poisonthe entire cotton field.

Mature Frier* During the SpringFriers that come on and are sold

during the early spring months arethe ones that pay the farmers fortheir keep. The late friers that aresold in July and later are always soldat a sacrifice in price. Eggs can behatched now and make good Aprilor May friers that will pay for theirboard.

One thing to remember in decid-ing what eggs to hatch for friers isthat all of the markets are now pay-

ing loss for the Leghorn and Anconafriers than they pay>for the heavierbreeds. That should be taken intoconsideration when one is decidingwhat breed of chickens to stock with.

course if the main object is tosell eggs then one can afford to take' little less on the lighter breeds asfriers and hens in order to get morefor the eggs as Savannah usually

i pays a premium for Leghorn eggs.

But when it comes to poultry salesand poultry shipments they want thefat well developed frier of the heav-ier breeds.

February Hog SaleThe day for the regular February

Hog Sale is February 29th. We didnot have the January sale as I had to

he in Athens and notified the farmersthrough the paper unless the had acarload listed before the sale wewould call it off. The February

sale is of course dependent on howmany are listed. We sold two carsfor farmers at private sales in thiscounty at good prices and pricesthat seem to have been well pleasedwith. The sale for Mr. J. B. Jones

of Cedar Cross had the prettiest car-load of hogs I have seen in this coun-

tv. He had an entire carload of his

own an,d t.hev brought him a pretty

good round sum.Farmers will please list, their ho.irv,

they want to sell them. We prefer

the 100 pound up hogs as the pack-ers discriminate rather heavilyagainst the pigs. However if you |have pigs to sell, see me and I thinkI can help you dispose of them. Mr.Payne has been shipping pigs forthe farmers at good prices and hasbeen of considerable help in getting

rid of this weight of pigs during theseason.
