PRICE OF WALLA WALLA LANDS

Recently a running debate took place in Congress
over the proposition of the National government SELL
ing ike old Fort Wala lands for $3.50 90 per acre. which
had been recommended by number of prominent cit
liens of the state They declared the amount
fair value for the lands and the government would be
driving good bargain by letting them go at that.
The statement was questioned by certain members of
Congress and going far to intimate; that the
men who had testified to the subject without
veracity That statement hardly true but there
is thing absolutely certain there is not of
land within five mile radius of Waa Wala that
be bought for less 900 per to nothing of
improvements. Whether lands about Wala Walla are
worth $3.50 90 ST. 90 per depends altogether
whether the government is selling the pri
vate individuals A crow never flew finer farm
lands than that which the Wala Walla fort oc-
cupies and if private individual owned the tract he
would not take thousand dollars per acre be-
he could plat the and sell it for almost $100
per each fifty foot lot What those should have
done was to recommend that the government donate
the tract to Whitman College and had measure intro
duced in Congress to that effect. What they have
done and said concerning the tract has compromised
themselves and left the impression that they try
ing to skin the government out of lands for private
institution. We do not think the Wlllfully pre-
varicated but they badly warped the truth. Just
why will seek to do the general government when
they would look upon similar transaction with pri-
person little short of highway robbery is
than explain, but they do it and do it without
scruples.

has any control 1t is due to the damnable proscrip
tion that the dominant in this country has placed
upon the Negro Despite the fact that fully half of
that people the whites pleased to term Negroes in
the United States, their own blood courses through
their veins that they show every sign of culture, re-
nement and educational qualification that they them
selves do yet they make the Negro target for their
animosty and not only do so themselves but en-
courage every European and Asiatic sum that comes
to the United States to do likewise. How do the Ne
gro and the Indian get along together? was recently
asked of Negro owning land near Indian reserYa
ton. "Just like brothers when there no white
folk about, ;, he replied, The white man always
poisons the Idinans mind against the black and
the Indian says things about the black in the
presence of the white that he would under cir
cumstances say minutes after he leaves the white
man." No wonder that the white man contributes so
much of his earnings for churches because he has to
give great deal to atone for his sins against his fell
low man.

AFTER ALBANY LOCKER CLUB
Dougherty County Grand Jury Is
Probing. So Many Disqualified
Members jury HASN'T Quorum.

ALBANY, Cain its efforts to
secure indictments against blind til
gers in Dougherty county the grand
jury has thrown out a big drag net.
1t developed when the cases of
violations of the prohibition
law by locker clubs were taken up
for investigation that if those who
were members of the principal club
in Albany were excused from the
grand jury quorum would not re-
main.
The jury went before Judge Park,
who this morning excused the club
members and had five new jurors
sworn in, they serving today as
special members during the investi-
cation of the locker club cases.
When the grand jury went before
Judge Park yesterday he delivered
a special charge in which he ex-
planned the locker club law, and
urged that indictments be returned
in every case where there had not
been strict compliance with the law.
The result of the investigation
was an Indictment against the Com
mercial Club as a corporation, and
the alleged offense charged against
it is misdemeanor. 1t is generally
understood that the object of the
grand jury in finding a true bill
against the corporation and not
against any individual officers or
member thereof is to cause the for
fixture of the clubs charter in the
event of a conviction.
1t seems probable. from what can
be learned today that the case
against the locker club will come to
trial at an adjourned term of court,
to be held the third Monday in Jan
uary next.
The club was closed Saturday af-
ternoon by the sheriff as the result
Of an injunction order granted in
the superior court of Dougherty
county by Judge Park.
The Commercial Club numbers
among its members several hundred
of the most prominent business and
professional men in Albany.

Out by a Big Majority.

place. The little fellow was knocked
some distance and was picked up in
an unconscious condition, but was
not fatally injured.
1t seems that the young boy was
going across the track near the gin

time to make a dash to get off, and
was hit by the side of the moving
locomotive, which resulted as above
stated. 1t is very fortunate that
he did not lose his life, the escape

255 BUSHELS CORN ON ACRE
PHENOMENAL YIELD OF YOUNG
SOUTH CAROLINA FARMER.
Win Prizes of Thousand Dollars

The Grower Spent 1920 For Fertili-
ger on a Single Acre, and One
Could Almost See the Stalks Grow.
Had to Prop Them Up.
There have been many big yields
of corn reported in Terrell county
and southwest Georgia, but none of
them compare with what was done
by a young South Carolina farmer,
which is told of by Mr.. G. n. Saussey,
a well-known Georgian, in COM
munication to the Washington Post.
Mr.. Saussey's article follows:
Editor Post: The following is
credited to your columns by the At
lanta Constitution:
The south is as good corn
country as the west. The greatest
yield per acre of that grain ever re
corded was that grown on North
Carolina farm, and it is an estab-
lished fact that last year Farmer
Bats, young man of go, filling the
soil within 3 miles of Raleigh, y.
c., gathered a crop of corn, the enor-
nous quantity of 225 bushels per
acre.
Your article does not state this
enormous yield was the average per
acre of Mr.. Bats field; therefore the
assumption is that it was an expert
mental acre to test the greatest pos
sibility of the land.
A no. h. hn
Mr.. Bats experiment is not the
greatest yield ever recorded. In the
early nineties a Mr.. Drake of South
Carolina. stimulated by the generous
offer of Orange, Judd & Co., of the
American Agriculturist, of $500 for
the largest yield of corn per acre,
entered the contest
MIR. Drake began by thorough
preparation of the measured acre
in February. Upon it he spread l.
900 bushels of barnyard manure, 600
bushels of cottonseed, 866 pounds of
KANT, 200 pounds of animal bone,
400 pounds of nitrate of soda and
1866 pounds of manipulated guano.
The cost of fertilizer he placed at
1920. He gave the crop careful and
intelligent cultivation.
Stimulated by such an excess of
plant food one could almost see the
stalks grow. So rapid this became
Mr.. Drake found it necessary on June
18th to drive stakes along the rows
and nail strips thereon to prevent the
tender stalks being broken by the
wind.
In the presence of witnesses, on
the 18th of November, the crop was
harvested and the yield carefully
measured. The acre produced 254
bushels and ) pounds-practica
255 bushels. Mr.. Drake says he did
not weigh the stripped fodder blades,
but estimated that product at 1900
pounds.
when the State Agricultural So
ciety of South Carolina discovered
there was an earnest contest for the
largest yield on a measured acre it
met the Orange, Judd & Cos. offer
of $500, and Mr.. Drake received
$1,000.
Il am not disparaging Mr.. Bats
great crop, but simply Strengthening
the record. Now, let the intelligent
farmer try to beat either of these,
and soon the southern farmer will
come to understand the philosophy
of intensive farming"
