JAPANESE CANE IN THOMAS.
New Crop for This Section Bids Fair
to BE Valuable.

W AOo
A Thomasville dispatch to the Sa-
vannah News says: A new crop for
this section, and one which bids fair
to prove very valuable, is Japanese
cane, which Aaron Adams, living
near Boston, has been experimenting
with for year or two.
Mr.. Adams first planted this cane
three years ago, putting in seven
rows OF it. From these rows he
made a barrel and a half of syrup,
and the tops cut from the cane he
used for fodder, enough to feed one
mule almost year. Mr.. Adams did
not dig the cane and bank it for
seed, as is done with the regular
Georgia sugar cane, but left the stub
Bile in the ground, and the crop which
he has this year and which came
from this stubble without any re-
! planting is more than twice as large
as that of last year and very much
finer cane. From this crop Mr..
| Adams says he expects to get more
: than four barrels of syrup and
enough fodder to feed several heads
! of stock for the year.
The great advantage of this cane
is that it needs no replanting, and
| seems to grow finer every year; the
cold does not seem to affect it either
as it does the Georgia cane, which if
left out during the winter is soon
killed. Mr.. Adams had some of the
cane on exhibition at the fair here
! last Evanlr and in
what resembles the sorghum, though
larger and finer. For stock feeding
alone this cane would be very valua-
BILE, but with it's syrup making quail
ties in addition to it, it seems GER
tain that it will yet prove a great
crop for south Georgia.

CORN KING OF THE WORLD
INDIANA FARMER SETS WORLDS
PACE IN THIS CEREAL.
Clore Family Nearly Keeps House
With Fathers Corn Prizes. Of
fnrnd . DnSitinn in Russia

~ nv -
With Fathers Corn Prizes. Of
fered Position in Russia.
Near Whiteland, in Johnson coun-
ty, Indiana, lives a farmer. His
farm consists of 100 acres, and he
gets up at o'clock every morning,
and has holes in his oyeralls. His
name is Leonard b. Clore. A dozen
years ago Mr. Clore began to special
ize on corn. Today he sets the
worlds pace in this cereal.
The Clore family very nearly
keeps house with fathers corn
prizes IN the list is everything from
a manure-spreade to a piano, in
Guiding watch, clock. stove, mando-
lin, lawn swing, an automobile
quarter section of land in Texas and
a $1,000 cash prize. One of the in
cidentals is a silver loving cup val
-ued at $1,000.
Mr.. ClOre decided a few years ago
that instead of spending so much
time in improving their land the corn
growers should give more thought to
improving their breed of corn. All
his efforts have been in that direc-
ton. In a specially built barn he
terminates the corn in boxes of earth
kept at the right temperature in
early spring by gasoline stoves.
Thus he knows before planting what
percentage of the grains will germi-
nate. Two ears of corn may look
alike, but the vitality of one may be
much higher than that of the other.
Mr.. ClOre is also judge of what it
takes to make perfect ear; select
ing the best ears each fall and plant
ing the hardest grains in the spring,
he has in a great way eliminated
chance in corn growing. He raises
from eighty to a hundred bushels of
corn per acre. The average this year
is ninety bushels This is about
twenty bushels more than before he
began his experiments, but, in addi-
ton, the quality of his corn has
greatly improved. What he has done
for Indiana, where his methods are
followed, may be seen by the fact
that the average yield for the last
ten years is thirty-five bushels. while
the corn belt of the United States
for the same period it is only twenty
4iVe. Experiment stations all over
the United States are sending to him
for his high-bred seed corn, and are
using his methods of breeding and
planting. The car has offered him
a position in the Russian department
of agriculture.

Home and Take a Rest.
WEAKNESS is not a good ground for
divorce in at least one Pennsylvania
court. A man and woman appeared
before Judge Fullerton in Wilkes
barre the other day and told him
they wished to be divorced because
they were tired of each other The
judge told them he supposed each
wished to make another experiment
IN the matrimonial business, but
that he declined to be party to any
such thing. He advised them to &c
home and take a rest, then start over
again with each other, and dismissed
the case.
