TALK WITH FARMERS
THEY ARE URGED TO PLANT A
STILL LARGER ACREAGE
K IN GRAIN.
A FINE YIELD OF WHEAT

Mr.. Bridges Methods of Cultivation
Produce Good Results-Mr. Cox's
Experiments Also Successful.
Last year the farmers of GeorgAA put
more land in wheat than ever before
and were rewarded with rich harvest
of golden grain. We again urge stu
larger acreage of wheat and other grains.
The raising of all the home supplies Is
the road to independence. With every
thing in the way of necessary food raised
at home, the farmer need not feel so
uneasy about the price of cotton Ii 1t
is high, his profits are good; if low, he ls
not burdened with debt. 1t will soon be
too late to plant wheat. Whatever Is to
be done on that line must be done at
once. Mr.. w. ]. Bridges of Spaldins
county, who on 4 acres last spring made
an average of e. bushels Of wheat to the
acre, says that wheat should never be
sown until after the first big frost III
November, for then it will stand more
successfully the ravages of the fly or
small grub that begins at the root ana
saps the vigor from the young shoots.
As Mr.. Bridges has made such a sue
cess of wheat growing, we give his
method in his own words:
"As to the land that l planted III
wheat this year, gave it heavy coat
ing Of manure in the spring and then
planted it in cotton After had gath
cred the crop, ripped out the stalks
and then turned the land over with
two-horse pillow, following that with a
cut away harrow, then rolling it with a
heavy roller. Ny wheat was then put
in with a drill using about 400 pounds
of a special high grade potash fertilizer
at the same time. In planting the
wheat I put in 105 pounds, or l bushel
and pecks to the acre. "
He used the blue stem variety OF
wheat, and before planting soaked it in
bluestone, putting pound of it into
enough water to wet the wheat thor
oughly. 1t takes about gallon of wa
ter to every two bushels of wheat. The
bluestone should be dissolved in boiling
water. The land on which he made
this large yield is gray, loamy top soil
with an undersoil of stiff red clay. On
Is acres which had been planted in
wheat for three consecutive years Mr..
Bridges made an average of about Az
bushels to the acre. His wheat was
made on uplands.
Mr.. Thomas H. Cox, who, on 4
acres of land in Washington county,
made % bushels of wheat to the acre,
says that his land was a light gray and
that he sowed bushels Of the blue stem
variety per acre broadcast and plowed
it as deep as he could with single
plows, using as a fertilizer about rs
bushels of cottonseed. He sowed hls
crop the middle Of November and gath
cred it May 20. His land was elevated
but well terraced.
Mr.. w. f. White, who, on acres
in Jones county, made an average of "a
bushels to the acre. wrote to the Depart.

Gov. William s. Taylor, of Kentucky, ar
rived in this city last evening at Z o'clock.
en- route from Louisville to Washington,
where he will await the decision of the
Supreme Court In Kentucky's guberna-
of the Plaza Hotel, and will not leave for
Washington until this evening.
He spent the greater part Of last evening
with Mr.. Charles Finley, ex-secretary of
state of Kentucky, who is also a guest Of
the Plaza Hotel, and when a Journal re-
porter called upon Mr.. Finley to inter-
rogate him with reference to the testimony
of Golden, who charged Mr.. Finley with
threatening to kill the whole Kentucky
LEGISLATURE. the Governor was a very in
terested listener.
Mr.. Finley said hat every particle Of
testimony given by Golden with reference
to himself was the basest sort of a lie.
Said he: 81 read Golden's testimony In this
mornings paper, and there was not a word
of truth in it. The man must have manu-
featured the story out of whole cloth. 1
see that he accuses me of having made a
petition the Legislature to do what we

cede TO our wishes, we would kill them.
How the man ever thought of such a story
as that I cannot imagine. / do not recall
that I ever had any conversation with
Golden in reference to the political situa-
ton in Kentucky, and l certainly never in
any way discussed the action of the Legis-
lature with him."
Mr.. Finley said he was not surprised that
Culton was ordered to jail without bond.
knowing the prejudice that exists" said
he. IL would nave been very much sur
prised If they had released Culton on bond.
In fact, I don't think any man who Is &C.
cused of being implicated in the murder of
Mr.. Goebel would be released on bond, no
difference what the circumstances WERE"
Mr.. Finley said that he intended to go
back to Kentucky, and that he expected
TO obtain a change of venue. He said he
did not know the exact date of his return,
but thought 1t would be before very long.
Governor Taylor declined to say anything
further than that he had simply stopped
over in Indianapolis on his way to Wash
ington, and that he would remain in that
city until the Supreme Court had rendered
a decision in the g-ubernatorial contest.
He would say nothing whatever of his fu-
ture plans, and at no time took any part
in the conversation between Mr.. Finley and
the Journal reporter.

CLEAN SIDEWALKS.
Good Effects Of the Ordinance Noted
b. Many Persons.

The downtown sidewalks presented an
appearance of cleanliness yesterday. much
in contrast to their usual Sunday appear
ance several weeks ago, before the anti
splitting ordinance went into operation.
Every act of compliance with the ordinance
is an object lesson to those near by. There
were many comments as to the effects of
the ordinance heard upon the streets yes
terday and many women were heard to
praise 1T.
One of the police s~ergeants, who has been
quite active in instruction was the cause
of a good deal of amusement yesterday.
The habit of turning to the side and spit
ting into the gutter, while on the side
walks, had become so strong that while
walking along in the street, he several
times turned to the side Inc spat upon the
sidewalk. He was considerably embarrassed
when his attention was called to the act by
one whom he had corrected"
