RAIN AND
Scientists Claim They Are the De-
termining Factors in FlavOring
Berries and Melons.

There are years when fruit has not
the flavor usually belonging to it. Es-
pecially is this the case with straw
berries and melons. On investigation
it is found that rainfall and sunshine
are the principal factors in determin-
ing havors. In very wet seasons
fruits grow large, but contain little
sugar. In dry seasons much more
sugar is elaborated, and this sugar
enters very largely into the indefn-
able something we call flavor. Prof.
Troop, of Indiana, touching on the
same subject, says: "An excessive
amount of rain is undoubtedly one of
the chief causes of trouble. 1t is q
well-known fact that during a very
wet season Strawberries are Of much
poorer quality, containing a less
smout of sugar, than when the ripen-
ing season is comparatively dry. The
same is true with muskmeIons; the
crop may be larger during a wet sea-
son, the fruit may be finer in ap-
pearance, but the sugar content
which gives the melon it's delicious
flavor is comparatively low. Hence
it frequently happens that a variety
may give good satisfaction one sea-
son. and be very unsatisfactory the
next. Thorough drainage, either nat
urally or artificially. will do much to-
ward preventing trouble from this
source. The use of fertilizers, rich in
potash and phosphoric acid, will have
a tendency to produce a fruit of high
quality" 1t is doubtless true hat Sc
lection of varieties for planting will
do much tt give flavor, even in a wet
season

The seIection of PLANT.

Select plants for all plantations,
whether of strawberry, raspberry or
other small fruits. Reckless choosing
of plants from old beds or plantations
is the easiest way, but it has proved
the most prof1tless way. In every line
of plant propagation it is now recog-
nized that selection is the principal
factor in plant improvement. Ifaman
canntNt afford the time to make proper
selections himself. it viii pay him to
buy of men that make a business of
doing that kind of thing.-Farnsrs'

NERVOUS SYSTEM IS DUAL.
The. Development of One Set Benefits
All Parts of the nm
Body.

Prof. Scripture, of Yale university,
has invented a new term, "cross-educa-
tion," which he gives to the results
upon the organs of the opposite side
of the body from exercise of a limb or
organ. The simplest instance is that
a gain of 20 per cent. in strength
of the right hand from exercising it
alone cur a gain of so per cent. in
the unexercised left hand. The law
holds not only as regards strength.
but also in other qualities. The fact
helps to explain why in right-handed
people, for instance, the left retains
so much strength and experiences. The
question also arises if other organs
than corresponding mes may not be
influenced, for example, the left foot
bv means of exercise of the right hand.
Observation-Disclosures soldiers required
to step off with the left foot first?
Finally, the development in the de-
3ectiye classes of mental and moral
characteristics by systematized physi-
cal instruction, which teaches order,
RHYTHM, accuracy and judgment, is
explained and put upon a rational
basis. The claims of the manual train
ing advocates are justified and made
clear. The experiments at the Elmira
reformatory thus elicit the greatest
interest. How far it may be possible
to educate into something like nor-
mality the weak minded, criminally in
clined and even the idiotic becomes an
important study. Prof. Scripture calls

WHY TRANSPORTATION Pays.

The chief supply of drink to growing
plants is moisture brought up from be-
low by capillary action. and therein
consists the necessity OF pulverizing
the soil thoroughly before planting,
and continuous surface cultivation
afterward. Weeds are sometimes
counted as a blessing because their
presence compels the farmer TO con-
time really necessary cultivation,
which he might otherwise fec justified
in emitting TO the detriment of the
crop.-Mid.and Farmer.

sHARPERs WORK SMOOTH GAME
Sell Articles of Every Description for
Future Delivery But After Collect

of No More By Duped Negroes.

DJzene of negroes living near Ameri-

two well dressed white men, with
whom they had placed orders for goods
OF various description, were coming to
deliver same or else refund to them

But the probability is that they will
never come back at all
1t was smooth confidence game that
came to light Yesterday, and scores of
country negroes are numbered among
the victims of pair of very shrewd
road agents.
Two white men, well dressed and
possessing persuasive eloquerce calcu-
lated to arouse the cupidily of the I'M
bleached rustic, have been working the
farming districts near Americus re-
Gently, selling goods of all kinds to
negroes on the instaIIment plan.
Buggies, wagons, pianos, clothing,
watches, sewing machines and, in fact,
any article that might be suggested
was ''sold' by these agents.
The plan of procedure was to take a
Negroes order for anything in the
world he wanted, provided he made a
cash payment, this being regulated by
the amount he had.
No order was turned down; the
''agents" sold everything wanted.
One old darkey ordered a new red
wagon, and handed over a solid silver
watch IN lieu of a cash payment. Anoth-
er paid s. on suit of clothes, while
numerous others bought bicycles,
clocks, sewing machines, shotguns and
other articles for which they had no
need at ALL
The goods" were to be delivered at
the expiration of ten days.
Time was up Friday, and as the
agents did not show up, of course, the
victimized blacks raised hue and cry
and came to town to tell their troubles
to the police
Farmers on whose plantations these
negroes work say that the "agents"
evidently made rich haul near Ameri-
Gus, and in one district in particular
reaped harvest of dollars. Even IN
telligent negroes with plenty of money
were caught IN the game.
The world is full of fakirs, white
and black, and it appears that none of
them miss Americas.

STOCK OF COTTON
is MUCH REDUCED
Scarcely More Than 1900 Bales In
the Warehouses.
MANY FARMERS SOLD RECENTLY
Weary of Waiting for Higher Price
They Closed Out and are Busy
Making Another Crop-Local Mar
ket Little Above Sc.

The recent perpendicular slump in
cotton values had the effect of very
greatly reducing the stock carried in
the Amerlcus warehouses, and just now
there are.perhaps less than 1900 bales
held in the six warehouses here.
This was the estimate given the
Times Recorder yesterday by cotton
man, and is about correct.
Not few farmers, tired OF holding for
better price and fearing further de-
cline, closed out their holdings the
past week at prices ranging about eight
cents or better.
One warehouse reported Yesterday
the sale of 500 bales the past week, and
some of the other houses here probably
sold as much. From a stock of 1000
bales held at the beginning of theyear,
not more than l 800 bales remain.
Just what will be done with this re-
mains an interesting question.
1t is owned by merchants and farm
ers who are perfectly able to carry it
Indefinitely, but will it be the part
of wisdom to do this now ?
With the great depression in the tex
tile world and curtailment of product
ion, the market continues to sag, and
ranges little above the eight cent fig
ure. la the Americas market s. cents
was the best paid yesterday.
In many of the small towns in this
section there are goodIy stocks of
cotton.
In some of these places, it is said,
local merchants bought largely of spot
cotton when prices ranged about 10
cents, expecting it to be worth 125 or
Is cents in the spring. Many hun
dred bales are thus held in south
Georgia.
And the owners of the cotton may
find it bad investment IN the end.
