Chronicles Wireless.

NJ. H. de Young, proprietor of the
Chronicle, states that his faith in wire
less telegraphy is so well founded that
he will establish wireless system IN
the Chronicle building so that marine
reports can be taken directly in the
newspaper Offices In this way all wire
less news from ships at sea can be Sc
cured without delay and the editorial
Office can get into communication with
passenger vessels and news can be pub
Iished of the personnel of the passenger
list long before the vessel reaches port.
Digging Test Holes.
4 small clam shell dredger is digging
a hole at the entrance to the proposed
drydock at Pearl Harbor to determine
the character of the material which is
to be excavated A hole is also being
dug at the after-end of the drydoek. 1t
is said that large quantities of water
are being encountered. If this is the
case, most of the excavation for the
drvdock may have to be done by sea
dredgers.

Which Is the Real Man?

Immediately upon his return to
civilization Pealy flashed the
following message to the world:
Good morning. Delayed by
gale. Don't let Cook story worry
you. Have him nailed"
When shown the message DR..
Cook said:
As l said last night when I
heard of Commander Peary's sue
cess, if he says ne has been TO the
pole | believe him."
The two messages contrast SO
strongly that it is easy to pass
judgment upon the characters of
two men, and while The Herald
would not essay to say which is the
real discoverer of the pole, still
it is inclined to pass the honors
over to DIR. Cook. Pea1y makes
vicious thrust at his rival, bu.
DR.. Cook shows the bigness of his
hear and mind by the mild
mrnnered and magnanimous wa,
in which he receives it. Peary

telling force when the real show

Four Bales to the Acre?

Some ten years ago an intelli-
gent and progressive farmer an
nounced that he was making two
bales of cotton to the acre and his
friends promptly replied that his
statement ought to be backed by
an affidavit. Since then there
have been as many as three bales
made TO the acre and now North
Carolina farmer comes out boldly
and claims that he is making four
bales to the acre. In the alb
sence of any proof to Nhe
contrary we must accept the state
ment as true, but we would be-
lieve it quicker if this farmer also
had backed his statement by an
affidavit. In the face of these
facts it appears that the cotton in
dustry has unlimited possibilities.
If the production per acre can be
Increased from two to four bales
IA ten years there is every reason
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-09-16

to believe tnat it can be increased
from four to eight in the next
ten years. Eight bales to the
acre does not look as unreason-
able as did four bales ten years
ago, and in the absence of any
Legislation limiting a farmer to a
certain number of bales per acre
there is no telling where it will
end. We give as our authority for
the following the Raleigh,
On. c. Progressive Farmer, and
give notice right here that we as
sumo no responsibility whatever
for any of the statements contain
ed therein:
Mr.. r. J. Wentz, of Goose
Greek township, who raised two
bales of cotton per acre last year,
is more anxious to grow more per
acre than is the average man who
is growing third of bale on an
acre. Mr.. Wentz went last week
to Wake county for no other pur-
pose than to confer with MIR. w.
A. Simpkins, who is making four
bales an acre on his farm, four
miles southeast of Raleigh. Mr..
Simpkins has two acres which Mr..
Wentz says will make four bales
per acre and fifty acres from
which two bales an acre will be
gathered. Mr.. Simpkins selects
the seed from the finest stalks on
his two acre 'brag patch with
which to plant that patch next
season and then with the remain
ing seed from the 'brag patch"
he plants his 50-acre field. His
cotton is short jointed, the Joints
being but about an inch long, two
bolls to each joint, and Mr.. Wentz
says that sighting down a
limb is just like trough between
the bolls. The first limbs are on
the ground and lie between the
rows more like vines than limbs.
The rows are eight feet apart and
the limbs arc tapping in the mid
dies. Stable manure, broadcast.
is the fertilizer used by Mr.. Simp-
klns, and Mr.. Wentz States that
he has found that to be the best
fertilizer ever put under cotton
Commercial fertilizer is also used
at planting time and as top dress
ing. Or course plowing is deep.
Every day great many people
drive out to see the four-baie Der
acre patch. Mr.. Wentz saws that
he is we'll pleased with his trip.
and that to see a crop of cotton
growing that will yield four bales
per acre is worth what it costs to |
travel $50 miles. Mr.. Wentz
comes back with his stakes set for
four bales an acre. He planted
Slmpkins' seed on his four acre
brag patch" this year and not
withstanding the drouth which
has injured the crop he will get
ten bales from that patch and he
says that he would have made
twelve bales or more on it had i
not been for dry weather."
