EXPERTS IN FARNEIG
:" SPEAK TO FARMERS.
Coming From Washington to Third
District.

Hon Dudley NJ. Hughes, who is
spending three or four days in Ameri-
Gus, mingling with friends and con-
stituents, announces that he has Sc
cured the services of several govern
ment experts on farming, who will
come to Sumter and other counties Of
the Third district to address the far
mers
Two or three of these speakers will
address an assemblage in Americus in
September, the date to be arranged
later.
Mr. Hughes could secure only five
of the employees at this time, but he
will keep the work up till an acre of
corn and an acre of cotton in each
county has been planted, titled and
gathered by an employee of the gov
ernment.
DR.. Knapp of the department, who
is at the head Of this special class of
work, says in the west and some por-

already been done, the yield in every
case has been at least twenty-five per
cent higher than from the best of the
crops.
The Third district being an almost
exclusively agricultural one, the far
mers will be much interested in the
work that is to be done. 1t will be
conducted in a manner that will prove
highly beneficial.
Congressman Hughes has also been
given three experts to study the soil
of the entire district, the animal in
dustry, the red spider, black rot and
other matters of vital interest in the
immediate section. They will be in
Macon on September 6, and will then
announce their itinerary of the Third
district.
Congressman Hughes will come here
with them, and the meeting and ad-
dresses will constitute an occasion of
interest.

NO CHANCE FOR A DRINK

just Like Sahara Desert Is State of
Alabama.

An Americus cit, returning here
yesterday from a visit in Montgomery,
emphasizes the statement that Ala
bama Is bone dry. AS an experiment
--one@he hoped would win-he busted
himself for an hour in a vain effort
to spot drink. Places that he knew
were never dry before were visited
but the hot breath of Sahara was in
evidence rather than the moisture of
John Barleycorn He thought the
situation in Georgia was as tight as
a drum, but Alabama now has the
lead for protracted and nerve-racking
drought, he says.

HIGHEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.


Reliable information has come to
Twin Falls that contracts have been
let to the American Bridge company
for the building OF the highest rail-
road bridge In the world over the
Snake river just east OF Shoshone
falls. The highest railroad bridge In
the United States is In Texas. This
bridge is over 800 feet above the
river. Every passenger train pass
ing over this bridge stops five min
utes to allow passengers to get
view of the situation. The railroad
bridge to be built over the Snake
river will span the river at a point
where the great gorge Is 100 or more
feet high, at least twice as high as the
Texas high bridge.
An article recently appeared In the
Chicago Record-Herald to the effect
that the contract had been let to the
American Bridge company for the
building of the world highest bridge
near Twin Falls This information
is received with great rejoicing by
the people Of Twin Falls and county,
as 1t assures the building OF another
railroad through here.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Last Tuesday a farmers institute
was held at Thomas, beginning with
half dozen persons at the forenoon
session, about thirty at the afternoon
session, and crowded house In the
evening. The work that was pre-
sented was listened to with marked
attention, and there was every evil
dence OF intense satisfaction with the
days meetings on the part Of the
local people.
Byrd Trego gave a lecture In which
he gave history OF the development
Of the raisin growers and the lemon
growers industries in California,
showing the long hard fight they had
to meet the demands Of the markets
Of the world In the matter of build
Ing up to excellence In quality. and in
packing the products SO they would
not spoil. Applying the same prin-
ciples to our own local conditions. he
showed the necessity OF furnishing
the markets with what the consum-
ers demand rather than disregarding
their wishes and trying to force
something onto the market that is not
wanted.
Miss Edna Reesor Of Idaho Falls,
gave short lecture on domestic
science and domestic economy as they
are taught In the university at Mos
COW, and w. s. Alvord of Aberdeen,
lectured on dry farming, potato cul-
ture and beautifying the home by
raising flowers and shrubs.
Similar work was presented at
Groveland on Wednesday, except that

Miss Reesor was not there to present
her subjects.

sity demonstration cars will be at

He should not assume the roll Of the

AS a teacher, he should devote his
entire energies, without partiality or

at the same time strive to make each
individual feel that he has none else
to deal with but him, and that what
ever he does is wholly in the interest

Getting Ready.

Ice men are grinding their tools and
will get busy on the old canal the
first of next week and the harvest i'll
be good as the ice at the present time
is any way half foot thick, which is
good ice. As well as supplying local
people with ice. ice from the Des
Moines rapids canal is shipped all over
the country and cities south of here
get their share Of the harvest. There
are about five ice companies who cut
ice each winter in the canal
In busy seasons as much as four
and five hundred tons OF ice can be cut
in a day. This amount is according to
the number of men and teams employ
ed and during the ice season many
find employment in this occupation
watch pays well although it is good
cold work.
Coal dealers are having their busy
season right now and man with a
good team and lots of ginger can
make as high as forty and fifty dollars
a week in the coal hauling business.
Two cents a bushel is paid the men
in most places which is good pay and
profitable, to many.

A year ago this date the tempera-

today the mercury reads zero. This
is decided difference between this
date 5000 and the same date of
.0s.
At the head of the rapids, the river
is frozen across and will hold persons,
the ice being about four to six inches
in thickness At Galland the river is
frozen across and the river has fallen
at least foot at this place on ac-
count of its freezing over above here
The ice which is floating in the river
is very thin and not nearly SO thick
as it was before freezing.
The river is frozen across as far as
the seventh pier of the bridge on the
east side and if the weather remains
cold for few days longer the river
will no doubt freeze over the first time
in several years There is an old the
ory that ice becomes a half inch thick

but an old ice man stated this morn
ing that ice making weather depended
entirely on the atmosphere. That ice
can be made as easily in weather 20
