TRAINLoAD OF HULLs ORDERED
Americas House Sends 10 Missis-
sippi for Them.

Americas is now buying cottonseed
hulls in distant markets, as she buys
nearly everything else consumed by
man or beast, and is paying nearly
twice the price for this bi-product of
cotton as was paid a year ago. Yes
terday local house wired an order to
Mississippi oil mills for FIVE carloads
cottonseed bulls, and this heavy ship
ment, even, will supply the demand
but short while. Georgia mills, it is
said, cannot fill the heavy orders for
bulls pouring in upon them, hence the
necessity Americas dealers are put to
in ordering from Mississippi. And the
price, too, is something to marvel over.
Last year hulls could be bought here
for 81 to So per ton. Today the whole
sale price is $13, while retailers get S14
for them. Only q few years ago the
oil mills here in Americas burned cot
tonseed hulls for fuel in the engine
furnaces to get rid Of them, thinking
they had no great commercial value,
but not SO in these enlightened days.
Now, cottonseed hulls are considered
equal to corn or hay as stock feed, and
thousands Of tons are thus used here in
south Georgia. 1t is said that in the
packing houses out west every particle
of the hog is utilized except the squeal,
but the cottonseed goes the pig one
point better, as every particle of it has
a great commercial value now.

W. S. COburn.

In the INDEPENDENT office last Tues
Horticulture, W. S. Coburn of Paonia.
He related "reminiscences of years ago
when he was the only man in Delta
county to make an exhibit of fruit at
the state fair. He tried to get others
to join in the exhibition, but for years
he was the only one to take fruit to
the fair fsom this county.
He was the first man on the Western
Slope to grow the Elberta peach. He
told of exhibiting this fruit at fairs in
Montrose and Mesa counties. where the
now famous Elberta was seen for the
first time. lone good thing about an
Elberta tree said MIR. Coburn. lis
that the older it gets the larger and
better the fruit. My first trees are
now % years old; they are healthy and
in the best possible condition and from
these trees select my exhibition fruit.
Another redeeming feature about the
Elberta is that it does not require hand
thinning, but thins itself. if the water
ing is properly applied
Mr.. Coburn told of taking fruit to
the Montrose fair years ago, when peo-
pie actually accused him of shipping it
in from California and other places.
This veteran grower has been presi-
dent Of the State Board of Horticulture
for years. He is a man of high intelli-
gence, has made notable success Of
his business and in his quiet. unassum-
ing way has done more for horticulture
in Delta county than any other half
dozen men. There may be others as
competent, but Mr.. Coburn has been
here long time and applied himself to
the work all these years.

Walkers Sixty Bushei Wheat.

John Walker brought fine display
of his wheat and oats to w. P. Dale
for exhibition at the state fair. He al
SO remembered the INDEPENDENT with
samples of his grain. 1t is certainly
fine. He has 3 acres of winter wheat
that will go GO bushels to the acre and
IL acres of spring wheat that will do
equally well. The oats will average
100 bushels per acre. Mr.. Walker says
60 bu. wheat, selling at 80 c. per bu. is
hard to beat as crop, and he is GER
tainly right. That is a gross return of
40, counting Ella per acre as the cost
of growing.
The farm producing this grain was
bought by Mr.. Walker in 1887 for $3.50.
Il comprises lis acres. all under culti-
vation. He did hot get water on it
until 1891 and the fine two story house
and other first class improvements have
been earned and paid for off the place
since that time He looks back at it
was years ago and wishes for a photo
graph SO that he could contrast the i'm
provements of that time with the pres
ent. The farm that 20 years ago sold
for one dollar an acre could not be
bought to-day for less than $500 per
acre.
The strides of the past 20 years will
not compare with the same nu mber of
years that are to come, but many peo-
pie will not be able to see it and that
is The reason they will miss great op-
portunities, the same as the man who
sold this farm 20 years ago missed a
great opportunity.
