south's Farm Chances.
(southern Farm Magazine.

r y Z
Not q single Southern State In
1907 was up to the average of the
col,ntry In Irish potato production.
The average yield per acre of corn in
Z the country was 25,9 bushels. That
was surpassed in the South only In
Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee and
West Virginia. The average yield
in the country of wheat and of oats
was surpassed only by Maryland,
while Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
South Carolina were the only States
in the South to surpass the average
yield of the country per acre in to-
bacco.
There are several reasons for the
agricultural deficiency on the part OF
the South. Striking Examples of
what has been done indicate that the
trouble is not with South prn soil or
with Southern climate. Absorption
of 80 much energy in cotton grow
ing is not full explanation, nor is
lack of knowledge of farm methods
the main cause. The secret lies in
the fact that the South has not
population large enough to do all Its
work right. Immigration is the So
luton Of the problem.

Hotels in south America.
(Philadelphia Record y

A traveller who recently returned
to Philadelphia was narrating some
of his experiences In South America
att a banquet Of globe-trottefs the
|other evening He had skirted the
entire coast of South America and
mad found the inns or hotels In most
sections very poor. So bad were
they in Peru, he said, that one Ame-
rican who had been thrown into Jail
pending some dispute over his pa
pers, and after fiis release had
sought the hotel of the town, re-
turned the next day to the jail and
begged that he might be taken in.
Over the doorway of lonely ranch
eTs cottage near the horder of Ar
gentina and Patagonia the following
curious motto was observed:
Forty miles from hay,
Twenty miles from water,
Two inches from Hades;
God bless our home.
But perhaps the most curious sign
he had seen was in the window of
a restaurant in Buenos Ayres, which
read: American cafechampagne
and fried potatoes.

Pleasant Reunion.

Forty-seven years ago, in the far.off
city of Key West, three little girls
whose brief years had been spent in
that intimate companionship to which
only little girls can attain, bade each
other a fearful goodbye. Since that
time until within the past few days the
three of them together have never met.
One remained in Key West, and IN her
young womanhOOd was married to Hon.
L. W. Bethel. who afterwards became
lieutenant-governor Of Florida. Anoth-
er went to the North, where she mar
ried General William LuddingtOn, now
retired, of the United States Army,
while the third, the daughter of the
late Judge William Douglas, Of revered
memory, came to Tallahassee and con-
tinued her residence here as the wife
of Mr.. George Lewis, president Of the
First National Bank.
Last week these three friends met
again, and dined together, with several
of their decendents and relatives, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis. 1t
was a delightful reuniOn-a pleasant
reminiscence upon which to hnger in
memory.
General and Mrs. Luddington have
been guests of Tallahassee for several
months. They seem TO be delighted
with the old-world charm of Florida s
capital. But their visit is now drawing
near it's close greatly to the regret OF
the many new and old friends whom
they will leave behind. Mrs. Ludding-
ton, especially, has endeared herself in
many ways, and she will be remember
ed by her many kind and charitable
deeds. The Kings daughters, espec.
tally, are indebted to her for the deer
and practical interest she has taken ir
their work
