Clark's Hill Stands First

The following from a recent is
sue of the Produce Bulletin pub
lished in New York, shows that the
fruit grown at Clark's Hill is SUI
perior to that of Alabama and
Georgia, and consequently COM
mands better prices in the northern
markets:
Atlanta, Ga, AT the meeting of
the Georgia State Horticultural So
ciety which was beld here last week,
Mr.. I. M. Fleming, manager of the
Georgia Fruit Exchange, stated on
the floor of the convention that the
highest priced car of peaches sold
this season from either Alabama,
Georgia or South Carolina, was a
car shipped by Rowland d Co., and
w. S. Middleton of Clark's Hill to
S. L. Burr q Co. of Boston. The
gross proceeds were over $1,000
and netted 1920 f. o. b. The second
highest car came from Commerce,
Ca, and the highest f. o. b. cars,
being two cars sold by Mr.. Bud
Evans of Fort Valley, Ga, 50 per
crate for Bells on the track.

We are panied to report that
Rev. L. B. White stated from the
Baptist pulpit yesterday that he

notssee his way clear to accept.

gret, praying God blessings upon
him and his, which includes noble
wife, and two sweet little children.
A very important meeting is to
be held at Mccormick this p. NJ, in
the interest of new county. 1t has
been four years since our people
voted on the new county question,
and under the law, have a right to
vote upon the subject again. We
shall watch the outcome with inter-
est.
a few days ago we, had pleas
ant visit from Prof. Cuttino Melli-
champ, who was ably representing
the interests of The Edgefold Ad-
vertiser. This consecrated young
brother conducted prayer meeting
for us last Wednesday night to our
delight and edifcation, in manner
thatleads me to say, that any COM
munity is fortunate in having such
man among them, to teach their
children. We congratulate Red Hill.
Prof. Mellichamp had success
full day here. Everybody, almost to
aman, who was not taking the pa
per, subscribed for it, which we re-
gard as good days rk,when we
remember what The Advertiser
stands for. religion, agriculture tenn
perance and the news of the day; a
combination that few secular papers
can boast.
Our town council met this morn
ing, and ordered an up-to-date road
machine, a distinction we think of
which few towns or cities in west

cbinery to work our streets. The
good roads movement for the west
ern part of our state was in large
measure, conceived and nurtured in
this community. and we hope an in
fuence from this enterprise by our
town will stimulate anew the inter
est in the improvement of our pub
lie highways.
Mr.. j. A. Harvely, constable for

PROPER USE OF SHEEP
IN REGENERATING RANGES

Washington, Sept t.-Stockmen
throughout the West will be gratified
to learn that Uncle Sam is studying
means for using sheep to regenerate
overgrazed ranges. Unique expert
ments now being conducted by the
United States forest service at the ex-
pertinent station within the Wallowa
national forest in northeastern Ore
gon demonstrate that the grazing of
sheep under proper restrictions is an
important factor in the work of re-
seeding overgraZed ranges.
The problem being studied is that
of restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering of mountain bunch
grass, the scientific name of which
is Festuca viridula This grass is
one of the most important of the
summer forage plants in the higher
ranges of the Northwest and its rapid
disap appearance from the ranges by
reason of overstocking could only be
regarded as direct economic loss to
the stockmen. Special attention has
therefore been given to the restora-
tion of the grass by the Plant Eco
logist of the forest service, and his
latest report shows that thorough
reseeding has been secured upon the
areas TO which protective grazing
system has been applied
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding were used.
Upon one area the seed was allowed
to drop to the ground without treat
ment. The seed was brushed in with
brush drag or harrow on the second
tract and upon the third a band of
sheep was passed over the area in a
compact body twice. This summer il
has been found that the area not
treated has the lightest stand of
seedlings, while the resulting Seeding
stand on the other two areas showed
but little variation in density, but
later, during the period of drought
the seedlings on the area brushed
over died out badly. while on the area
upon which the sheep narrowed in
the seed there was very little loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems of the seed
which had been tramped in were one
half to one inch deeper in the soil
than the root systems of the seed
which had been brushed in. this CON
dition being due to the fact that the
seed was ground into the soil more
deeply by the sheep than by the
brush harrow
90 idT as lne lllNestlSallOn mas Deen
carried il indicates that a denser and
more drouth resistant stand of bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed ON an area after the
plants have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are excluded
throughout the entire season. This
discovery is confirmation of the
practicability of the plan to use
ranges during alternate spring and
fall periods so that thorough re-
seeding may be secured by natural
means.

PALISADE PEACHES ARE
UNINJURED BY RAINS

The rains of last Saturday and Sun
day temporarily interfered with the
picking of the peach crop in this
district, but 1t proved beneficial rath-
er than harmful, so far as information
can be gathered. There may have
been few boxes of overripe Elbertas
unfit for shipping where the grower
had failed to clean up on his trees
Saturday evening. but this loss was
offset many fold by the increased
growth attained by the fruit so that
the grade was increased and hence
the price The rain was preceded by
two or three days cloudy weather. and
this added to the favorable conditions
for the fruit Since the rain II has
been quite cool for this season of the
year and the peaches have come on
gradually so that the farmers have
been able TO handle all their crop
without inconvenience.
The report sent to Thursdays Den
Yer Republican from Grand junction
that the rain had greatly damaged
the Palisade peach crop is absolutely
untrue and entirely uncalled for.
The man who wrote it was not ia
miliar with the facts and as usual sat
in his office and guessed on the
wrong side without stopping to ask
for Information. The item further
stated that instead of the 40 or SO
cars which Palisade expected to ship
daily, little more than dozen went
out. This was also a canard.
On Tuesday 32 carloads were sent
from the Palisade district, on We'd
nesday there were 80 carloads. Yes
terday the shipments We're a little
lighter because of a shower about
noon which interfered with the pick
ing for few hours. But the peaches
will go out with rush again today
and Monday when the end of the
heaviest shipping season will be prac-
tically over.-Palisade Tribune.

DR.. COOK IN DEMAND.

one theatrical manager has cabled
a mighty offer to DR.. Frederick Cook.
who is said to have discovered the
north pole The man will be in very
great demand.
He is said to look forward to the
joys and luNuries of civilization. He
has been for years beyond the region
of comfort. Naturally, he will find
keen delight in customary living. 1t
must be most frightful thing to
live in the utter silence of those for
bidden latitudes. The cold is
enough-the constantly searching
cold of the perpetual winter 1t
must drain the physical resources of
a man bred to the temperate zone.
1t must so wear on his bodily pow
ers as to affect his mental poise.
There is a problem in hunger No
such food as he has known can be
carried with him. He must build the
fires of his blood with edbles un-
speakably repulsive TO the finer sense
OF an American.
His companionships must be hope
less. Their influence will of neCessi-
ty relax the manhood of the gentler
born.
But, most oppressive of all is the
constant. the intrusive. the limitless
silence of the unbounded icefields.
And what is left of "a mans mind
after hunger and cold and low COM
panionship have done their work for
months and years might well give
way in the unutterable stiffness OF
the pole.
The wonder will not he that Dr..
Cook has found the pole-so much as
that, having found it, he should re-
tain the man-power to return.-Salt
