Talks LCith Farmers
Conducted BY C. II. Jordan


following conditions which confront us;
1--WE years ago Texas produced only about
$1,000 bales OF cotton. Last year her
farmers raised one-third OF the entire
American crop. IL is openly asserted that
Texas can produce easily 1S,OO0OOo bales
OF cotton, nearly twice the demand for
American cotton by the world for con-
sumption. II the same ratio Of produc-
ton Is kept up BY Texas for the next ten
years. there viii be left to the farmers
east OF the Mississippi but one of two
propositions, one to engage in diversified
agriculture, growing cotton solely as a
money crop. the other to quit farming and
so at something else.
AS a matter OF fact, the farmers east
OF the Mississippi will simply change
present methods and forge ahead along
the lines OF progress and introduce up-tO-
date systems OF diversified agriculture as
they are now gradually preparing TO do.
The culture OF sugar cane Is one OF the
best money making crops which can be
grown on the farm. in those sections
where soil and climatic conditions are
suitable 20 its successful growth. Thor
ouEh preparation OF the land by deep
blowing. fertilizIng with a high grade
complete fertilizer and shallow cultiva-
ton are some OF the important essentials
IN successful cane culture. Nitrate OF
soda applied as a top dressing to the
growing crop has been proven highly de-
sirable. Cane requires high percentage
OF moisture during all stages OF its
growth. hence the question OF moisture
should be considered in selecting the land
for the cane field.
With the extension Of the cane indus
try viii come the erection. not only of
syrup rehneries. but also OF sugar refiner-
les. which viii give an increased value to
the product OF the cane fields. Farmers
viii make no mistake to embark more
largely IN this comparative new field Of
agriculture and particularly those who
are already tired Of struggling with the
cotton industry vii Ihave every induce
ment TO change from a bad to a decided
" more attractive and profitable system.
Georgia farmers should not only supply
the material for clothing Of the people
Of our state. but should also furnish the
food supplies as well. Extensive sugar
cane culture canont come too quickly.

THE WIDOW.

How near me came the hand Of Death.
When at my side he struck my Dear,
And took away the precious breath
What quickened my beloved peer!
How helpless am I thereby made.
BY day how grieved, by night how sadl
And now my lfe's delight Is gone,
Alas, how am left alonel
The voice which did more esteem
Than music in her sweetest key.
Those eyes which unto me did seem
More comfortable than the days
Those now by me, as they have been
Shall never more be heard or seen;
But what I once enjoyed in them
Shall seem hereafter as a dream.
I,ordl keep me faithful to the trust
Which my dear spouse reposed In me;
To him now dead preserve me Just
In all that should performed be!
For though our being man and wife
Extendeth only to this life,
Yet neither life nor death shall end
The being OF a faithful friend.

Benton.

When Thomas Hart Benton, the not
ed Missourian, wrote his famous work,
Thirty Years In the United States
Senate" which every one praises and
no one reads, his publishers, ID. Apple
ton & Co., wrote to him asking how
large a first edition should be printed.
His reply was:
"Sir, they can ascertain from the
last census how many persons there
are In the United States who can read
SIR" And that was the only suggestion
lie would ever condescend to make.
Benton was massive In body and
muscular. No man In public life was
his equal in physical strength, endur-
ance and courage. In reference to q
quarrel in the senate he once said: ~
never quarrel. sir. sometimes fight

Benton was sturdily devoted to the
Union. lie broke with many friends
in consequence. He bore the cogno

VEST POCKET COOK STOVES.
Compact and Convenient Contrib

The commissary general Of the army

AN UP-TO-DATE WILL.
One That Was Inscribed On q Grapha-
phone In the Makers Own
Voice,

One of the wealthiest land proprie-
tors near Smolenski, in Russia,
died a few months ago. and after the
funeral his heirs and attorneys began
TO look for his will. They fancied that
this task would be merely rerfunctory
and that the document would be found
among the other family papers, but,
much 10 their surprise, they were I'M
able to find the slightest trace Of it.
Every room and article OF furniture in
the house was then carefully searched.
but the result was the same, and the
only conclusion at which the heirs
could arrive was either that no will
had ever been made or that If one had
been made it was destroyed before
their kinsman's DEATH. says a London
exchange.
The ssing document, however. was
found few days ago and in the stran-
gest place imaginable. A young man
was rambling through the house, and,
happening to see graphophone on a
table in the library, he examined it to
see if it was in working order, and find
ing that it was he put record In it,
which he supposed was that of some
popular Russian song. What was his
amazement, however, when instead of
a song he heard the dead mans voice
slowly recite the words Of the missing
will!
The heirs were promptly notified Of
this discovery and they lost no time in
carefully examining the record con-
tanning the will. 1t was found to be
flawless, and the question then arose
whether such will would be deemed
valid by the courts or not. This ques-
tion is now being discussed in the SUI
preme court at ST. Petersburg and the
case is interesting all lawyers who have
heard of it. Many think that the will
will be pronounced entirely valid, and
if SO it may become a common practice
for persons to use graphophones for the
purpose of making their wills.
