. SOWING WHEAT.i
A Subject That Is Now Of Timely
Interest.

Interest.
Never before in the history of our
country has the necessity for raising
food crops so forcibly presented itself to
the farmers as the present time. The
position is no longer one of choice or
pleasure, but the force of circumstance
absolutely demands that the farmer
make change from the old cotton sys-
tenn.
There have been large number of
farmers institutes organized in this
state during the past two months, aad at
the October meeting of them all the dis
cussiou of wheat AMI other small grams
will receive leading attention. ALI other
agricultural clubs that were already or
ganized will take up that subject, while
each individual farmer who is not a
member of any society is preparing to
plant few acres in wheat and oats. So
that during the next thirty AID sixty
days the discussion of small grain will
be paramount to all others, especially in
O0OTRla anu COulu OdfOtIHhs
We discussed the methods of sowing
oats, rye, barley and clover in an article
recently published, making only slight
reference to wheat, as we think that crop
entitled to full article.
The first question to be settled in re-
gard to sowing wheat is the acreage. A
one horse farmer will want to sow at
least two acres for table consumption
and one acre to cure into hay for his
stock, so that an estimate If three acres
to the pillow is the lowest which can be
made with any degree of safety.
LAND SELECTED FOR WHEAT.
The land selected for wheat should
have good clay subsoil, red if possible.
The top soil must be fertile and capable
of producing good crops. II the ground
IS IN seasonable condition, not too wet or
too dry, break deep with a two-horse
tlrner or disc pillow. II dry break close
with scoote!s. EndaavOr by the best
and most convenient methods at hand to
get land broken deep and thoroughly
pulverized. The better the preparation
the larger the yield of wheat next spring.
After breaking, harrow down the land
smooth and fine. On large farms where
1t is posi- BILE plant the crop with seed
drilling machine. The small farme'
might use the old fashioned way of SOW
ing by hand. This can be best cone by
broadcasting one third of a handful of
grain at each step of the right foot, emp
tying a handful at three swings of the
right arm, at as many steps of the right
foot. In order to find out whether or
not the grain is being evenly distributed
over the ground the hand and fingers
stretched out at full length and placed
upon the soil should cover from six t.
seven grains in any part of the field
sown.-C. FL. Jordan in Atlanta Journal.

Fake Telegram.

Atlanta Military Went to Washington a
Fake Telegram
special from Atlanta to the Sayap-
nab News tells this interesting story:
Because Robert Gramlin, an erStWhile
Atlanta boy, is given TO practical joking
the Atlanta battalion found itself in a
serious predicament in Washington
Monday, and was not only deprived Of
spending that day in New York, but
was also prevented from participating
nthe Washington parade on Tuesday
The boys had mapped out delight
fll program. Monday they would
spend in New York sightseeing. The
next day they would speed over TO
Washington and march in the Dewey
parade.
Sunday Colonel Lawton received a
telegram from Washington slnged
Robert E. Gramlin, the Raleigh" say
ing the parade would take place Mon

in the parade, and stating that all ar
engagements had been made for their
entertainment. The Georgia boys were
Immediately shifted to the national
capitol by their commanding officer,
and when they arrived they found that
the order was fake, and the parade
had not been changed from Tuesday to
Monday. And That no provision had
been made for their Entertainment till
Tuesday.
The boys were mystified as 10 who
Gramln was, and why he sent the tel
egram. They could find no place to
stop At monday night, and so tam
was ordered to leave Washington Mon
day afternoon at 3 o'clock to bring
them home. When they went to board
the cars the railway officials Informed
them that the order had been counter
manded by authority of General Miles
Thel.s the boys raised a howl sure
enough. They were footsore and ex-
hausted.
An Investigation showed that Gram

were compelled to wait until another
train could be prepared, ana they left
for home Monday night IN no amlaOle
mood. Gramlin was attired IN naval
Uniform with a sword, which he pur-
chased or his own account, and made
one of the Atlanta boys act as his or
