A CIGAR FACTORY FOR MACON.

Macon Telegraph 4 representative
of the American Cigar Company will
be in Macon the coming week. He is
authorized to close a deal for the es-
Establishment of a big cigar factory in
this city. and will submit a PROPOSE
ton to the business men of Macon 1t
Will be up to them to decide whether
manufacturing plant, which will I'LL

atives, is worth anything. They call
Savannah conservative-and Charles
ton-well, the old town has been the
synonym for the slowest thing on
earth for a long time-but Savannah
and Charleston accepted the PROPOSE
ton of the American Cigar Company,
and in each city is a big cigar factory
in operation. The pay roll of 1000 CT
garmakers will help build up business
and values wonderfully. 1t is the
money spent by the wage-earners
within the corporate limits that builds
up a town.

that pecans would command a fair
price she at once set to work to dis
cover some method through which she
hoped to gather the crop in some way
that would be an improvement upon
the old plan of operations.
The largest and best pecans grow
upon the topmost boughs of the tallest
trees, often $50 feet from the ground.
A daring athletic climber of light
weight gets a few bushels of these
top gallants," as they are called, but
ordinary thrashers are forced to shake
their fists at them and walk away.
They often leave from $50 to $50 worth
of pecans in the tops of these tall
trees. Miss Bardine determined TO
harvest the crop clean. So she rugged
up balloon.
The experiment was made at Gran
tie Shoals, on the Colorado river,
where there is a large forest of the
tallest pecan trees in Texas. Miss
Bardine's people had already gathered
the nuts from the branches of the
giant trees as far up as the thrashers
dared to venture. They estimated that
there were at least 500 bushels of pc
cans yet remaining beyond their
reach.
The balloon was transported to
Granite Shoals and inflated with hot
air from a furnace constructed in the
midst of a grove of the tallest trees.
The girl, armed with a long thrashing-
pole, stepped into the basket, and when
her assistants, who were holding the
anchor-rope, announced that they
were ready, the signal was given, and
the airship rose swaying and jerking
to the tops of the trees. The men who
held the anchor-rope had taken a
half-hitch around the small oak, and
they found that they could easily con-
troll the ascent of the balloon. So this
daring pecan operator gathered in
every last nut on her trees-and with
them all many thousands of dollars.

attention that he is willing to bestow

demonstrated that wheat will pay far
more for cultivation than corn does
and any farmer can find this out for
himself merely by giving it one good
trial. He can prove II for himself that

inches apart and cultivating 1t. 1t is
well understood that any Southern soil
that will yield twenty bushels of corn,
planted the usual way of 6-foot rows,
and a stalk every three feet, is good
soil. II is good enough to produce
twenty bushels of wheat too If the
drills are only made fifteen inches
apart and an unbroken stand of wheat
is secured along these drills. Such
stand as one bushel of perfect wheat
seed evenly sown will give. Some day
the small farmer of the South will find
out how easy a thing it is to raise
twenty bushels of wheat on medium
soil, and simply by giving it the same
cultivation that he is willing to give to
corn, undeniably the most Improbable
crop ever grown or likely to be grown
on Southern soil.
In our next issue we will give minute
directions for preparing, fertilizing,
sowing and cultivating one acre in
wheat and with the hope that many
of the small farmers will be led into
making one of the most interesting eX-
periments of their lives, so far as prac-
teal farming is concerned. Essace.

COrncriDg the Pecan Market with
Balloon,

Think of a young girl cornering the
pecan market! And Texas girl at
that! She didn't quite capture the
whole crop in the United States, but
she put the nut trade on an edge for
while, and set its oldest heads to
wondering about what is going to hap
pen next. This young girl operator is
only about 10 years old-Miss Bernice
Bardine, if you please, and thus the
New York Commercial tells us how
she did it,
Last year she and her younger
brother made quite a little money
gathering pecans. Since then she has
been studying the business and laying
plans for future operations. During
the last summer she carried on an ex-
tensiYe correspondence, not only with
mercantile ablishments in various
cities that handle pecans, but with re-
liable people who reside in regions
where the nut grows. In this way she
got thoroughly informed in all matters
pertaining to the present crop.
Feeling confident that pecans would
command good price, she set to work
some weeks ago and, aided by her
brother and a few trusted assistants
who were sworn to secrecy, she quiet
of any value in the Colorado Valley
When buyers appeared in the country,
startling the ranchers by offering to
engage pecans at ~ cents per pound,
those who make a business of gather
ing the nuts were astounded to find
that a young girl had entered the field
and cornered the crop so far as that
particular region was concerned. A lit
tie investigation showed that this en-
ito
to make fortune in few months.
1t is known that she got a great bar
gain in nearly all of her leases. AS a
sample of the shrewdness that she dis
played, ii has leaked out that she leas-
ed one forest for 800 in which there
are several giant trees that will each
yield twenty bushels of $50 pounds of
pecans. At a low estimate the profits
accruing from this single transaction
will fall little short of $4,000.
When 1T is remembered that nothing
of market value is subject to such fluc-
tuations of price as pecans, there is
not much matter for wonderment in
the fact that the people leased their
forests for so little money. Only a few
years ago there was an abundant crop,
and yet for some unaccountable reason
the nuts were allowed to rot where
they fell. There were no buyers and
no market
Aside from scooping the crop this
courageous Texas girl has distinguish
ed herself in other ways. A pecan crop
is not easy to gather. The work is at
tended with great danger and many
hardships. The harvesting is generally
done by vigorous young men and ath-
letic boys. Not many young women
would exchange places with the fear
less Texas girl though the profits were
doubled. Those who are engaged in the
business have to camp out in the
woods, often many miles from town
or a ranch.
After Miss Bardine became convinced

Brief Reminders.

The most humane way of killing
hogs is to shoot them with rife or pis-
toll. but give the job to the right per-
son-one whose aim is true.
A thing much overlooked by South
ern farmers is providing water for the
stock in periods of freezing weather
and much harm some times follows the
oversight. A twenty-five to fifty-gal-
lon kettle placed near the we'll and
under which a fire can be made is a
handy way of providing water for the
stock, poultry, etc. A drink of warm
water in freezing weather is equal to
a pint of meal as a matter of susten-
ance.
Farmers, and dairymen especially,
should never lose sight of the fact
that while cotton seed meal is a safe
and economical food under certain linn
itationS, yet in careless hands is very
easily misused or abused. Its injudi-
cious use has caused we have no
doubt, very great loss altogether
since it first came into use. Many a
fine milk COW has been rendered
worthless by the excessive use of cot
ton seed meal. 1t is altogether unfit
food for hogs, horses and mules in any
quantity. 1t should never be fed UNI
mixed even to cattle and sheep. Prop
erly mixed with carbonaceaus mate
rails, such as corn meal, hulls, husks,
corn-fodder, poor hay and anything
containing little or no nitrogen, it be
comes a cheap and safe food for those
animals that chew the cud-but for no
others.
The new year opened warm and wet.
The lowest temperature of the winter
was 10 degrees in the morning of Dec.
q, but the wave was of short dura-
ton and by the first day of the new
year the mercury rose rapidly to go
with a slow falling rain. Keep a
sharp eye on the Russian influenza"
Treat it promptly. It is the parent
of many ills. We venture one word
of medical advice to our country
friends; Keep a bottle of sulphume
Qiquid sulphur handy, 1t is the great
discovery of the age for catarrhal
troubles.
Compost" making has had it's day,
so to speak-that is, making compost
under shelter as a rainy day employ
ment for the farmer In a way it
may be all well enough to stir up the
accumulated matter of the stalls and
stables and mix it with more or less
acid phosphate. kainit or what not,
but as matter of real practical value
1t has long since ceased to be a fea-
ture of farm work.
The practical farmer and truck
er has found out that the
most economical way TO make
compost" is to make it right in the
burrows. In this way the manure is
handled only once. With burrows laid
off at proper distances, three feet say.
it is hauled out with cart or wagon
and the manure is distributed in there.
carrying three or four burrows at a
time. As a section of land is COM
pleted the mineral matter-acid phos-
phate and potash mixed atogether-is
then sprinkled evenly along on the
manure and later the burrows are list
ed upon and the land left ridged up
for the beneficial effects of any freezes
occurring afterwards.
There is no better way of disposing
of the rough materials of the stable
and COW lot. 1t is the way to make
compost.

GAMBLER At work

Ex-Gov. Gambler has begun the work
of compiling the colonial, revolution
airy and confederate records of the
state under the appointment of Gov.
Terrell, as announced some weeks ago.
Gov. Gambler is to receive a salary
of $4,000 per annum for this work, to
be paid from the fund arising from
the sale of these records when pub
lished and from reprinted Georgia re-
ports. He will probably be employed
at this work during the next two
years and it is expected that in that
period it will be fully completed.

Effects of Cow Peas and Velvet
Beans on Crops.-At the Alabama sta
ton 1t was found that when the vines
of COW peas and velvet beans were
taken from the land and only the roots
and stubble used as manure, the in
crease in the yield per acre of the sue
ceeding crops was, for cotton IS per
cent; corn, 80 per cent; oats, 334 per
cent; wheat, 215 per cent, and sorg-
hum hay, 81 per cent. The great in
crease in the oats and wheat was
thought to be caused by the fact that
these crops came Immediately on the
land and prevented the washing away
and teaching of fertility during the
winter, thus showing the Importance Of
winter cover crop, in the South at
least. The result on the corn would
probably have been greater had some
winter crop like rye succe eded the peas
in fall and had been turned under in
the spring. 1t was shown that the eff
feet of blowing under the whole crop of
COW peas was not greater on the wheat
and oats than the blowing of the stub
BILE only. If this is the case, the plow-
ing down of the whole crop is an abso-
lutte loss of a valuable food. It is true
that the blowing down of the whole
crop had a more lasting effect and at
fected the spring crops more than the
fall grown crops. On very light sandy
soil the fertiliZing effect of either had
disappeared in twelve months.
