be as welcome to him as the high price

he should have corn tc sell, and oats

DO not take the risk of putting all

The Possibilities of An Acre.

No nan knows what they are. We
know two hundred bushels OF corn
were once grown on an acre, and that
four bales Of cotton have been made
on the sam acre of soil, but we do not
know that the limit of production was
reached in either case. We should try
to find out, not merely how much Of
any given crop can be produced on
one acre of land, but how cheaply it
can be grown. A big crop may not
in all cases be & profitable one. 1t may
cost too much to make it. The great
est yield with the smallest outlay Of
capital and labor is what we aim at.
Our farmers are often too poor, not
SO much because their crops are small
and small they are as compared with
what they might be-as because it
costs too much to make them. We
must learn to make larger crops with
less labor. To Go this we must go over
less ground, and make science and
practical skill properly supplement
muscle and neutrality-suspicious. an edi-

Notes From Correspondence.

A correspondent asks: ''Granting
that the cotton planter and the guano
distributor are Indispensable, what, in
your opinion, are the five most neces-
Sary implements on q h
arm?
In h first place, I never have
learned what a two-horse farm is. L
do not know any farm where there
should not be at least two horses, for
no proper breaking of the land can
be done with n horse. / was on a
farm no larger than many socaIled
farms in the Cotton Belt,
where the farmer had six working
horses and q dozen young things, and
this farmer, u tenant, rides in his own
automobile. Horses are part OF his
farm crops as they could be on any
farm in the South. But this man farms
and pay a crop rent amounting to
81, 200 to $500 in a good season.
He considers the manure spreader Of
more Importance than the fertilizer
distributor, which he does not use, for
the only fertilizer he uses is a mix
ture of acid phosphate and potash
drilled in with his wheat. He has q
loyel sod to turn for his
corn, and has not bought an ounce of
ammonia in a fertilizer for more than
| twenty years, while his crops have in
creased all the time. He is now get
ting 80 10 10 bushels of wheat and
10 DuSnelS OF corn per tc1c On dII
that has been in cultivation since 1914,
for it is the land settled by my W
ancestors at that time.
TO a cotton farmer who farms, the
! manure spreader is Indispensable.
Then I would name the steel reversible

drill for small grain ana peas. pea

still. since most of our land through

pleted by careless and ignorant treat

BATTLE WITH
A MANIAC
Armed With Hatchet H
Defies officers.
CLEVER RUsE IS WORKED
Travelling Man Secures the
Weapon.
Harry H.. Marsh Barrlcades His Door
and Defles Officers 20 Enter and
Take Hin--Insanc ran is Ovcrpow-
cred and Taken TO State Hospital.

Standing naked In his room with a
razor-edged hatchet in his hand and
threatening TO kill anyone who tried
to enter, Harry l.. Marsh. violently
insane. Tuesday afternoon held Sher-
in stark and number of deputies
who wanted to take him to the state
hospital at bay for about two hours.
A ruse worked by a stranger was sue
cessfui in getting the hatchet away
from the crazed man, and his capture
was effected. He has been living
with his mother on South Main
street.
Marsh was declared insane, Monday
night, by Probate Judge Spencer, and
the physicians who examined him.
When officers went to take him to Co
lumbus. Tuesday afternoon. he resist
ed their efforts and securing hatchet
drove them from the house. Then he
barricaded the doors of the room and
stripping all of his clothing off he
prepared for battle.
Reinforced by additional officers.
Sheriff Stark returned to the house.
No amount of coaxing or persuasion
avalled. The officers talked to Marsh
through window in his room. He
stood with hatchet poised ready to
harm anyone courageous enough to
attempt to raise the window. A crowd
gathered about the house and was
augmented until probably about 800
curious persons struggled to get near
enough to view the proceedings. Fin
ally Marsh put the hatchet down on
the window SILL The stranger, who
had had some experience in hospital
work, continued to talk to him and
then suddenly told him that his broth
er wanted to talk to him at the other
window. When Marsh, innocently
started toward the other window, the
man broke the glass pane with his
fist and seized the weapon with which
the maniac had kept the authorities at
bay.
Sheriff Stark and his deputies then
forced an entrance to the room, over
powered Marsh. dressed him and took
him to Columbus on an interurban
car. 1t was necessary TO have several
men holding him all of the time.
Marsh is a powerfully built man and
in his present mental condition
would not hesitate to attack his cap
tors in any way that was open to HIM
He struggled hard to prevent his
being taken away.
The case of Harry Marsh Is a sad
one. He devoted most of his time to
religious devotion and was a great
believer in local option. The failure
of the numerous prosecutions for Rose
law violations worried him greatly,
and this together with his religious
devotlons served to unbalance his
mind. Physicians regard his case as
hopeless.

Z. $. Wilson, superintendent of
buildings and grounds of the local
public schools, has u unique plan
for accommodating the overflow of
school children in the West End, this
fall, and at the same time would
inaugurate a system in use generally
over the country for the protection of
school buildings. Mr.. Wilson pro-
poses. with the consent of the board
of education, to erect a small struc-
ture on the school property at Dav-
ids street and when the board has
sufficient money to build more com
modious quarters. the temporary struc-
turc will be remodelcG and the janitor
will make 1t his residence.
In all of the larger cities of tho
state and over the country generally.
Mr.. Wilson states that for the protec-
tion of the school properties from
fire or molestation, the janitors are
given a building on the school prop
erty and here resides and is ready at
all times to protect the property. This
will be rather new for Marion for,
in practically every instance, the jan
itor resides several blocks from his
building, and in case of fire he would
probably not know of 1t until great
damage has ben done. The pranks
of boys and tramps are also done
away with when the janitor resides on
the school property as is shown In
other cities.
The buildings and grounds superin-
tondent thinks that while the board
is net in position to build an addi-
tion at the Davids street building at
this time and, inasmuch as the prop
osition to borrow money was turned
down at a public election, IL would be
q good plan to erect temporary quar-
ters to care for the overflow and then
overhaul 1t as the home OF jan
itor. This might be accomplished
with little expense and so far 1t has
found much favor with board mem
bers.
In addition it appears that from the
manufacturing activity in the vicinity
of this building that no more rooms
should be permanently added be-
cause of the noise which will be made
here disturbing the work of the
school children. II new quarters
are permanently erected next year, il
will be i'm some part of the West End
Nhere the children have quiet for
their work.
Mr.. Wilson's plan will be given con-
sideration by the board at the next
regular meeting
