FIRST GEORGIA PECAN TREES
Mr. Saussy Writes The News There Were Bearing
Trees in Savannah Sixty-Five Years Ago.

Editor of The Dawson News: The
Hawkinsville Dispatch and News of
the 18th of January has an excerpt
from The Dawson News captioned
"Pecans Beat Cotton" in which it
quotes you: ''Twenty-seven years
ago the first pecan seed was planted
in Georgia near Albany" This state
ment is in error. There were bearing
pecan trees in and near Savannah
sixty years ago.
l recall one as a shade tree on
the sidewalk on President street,
near the property now the Telfair
Art Gallery.
Mr.. William l. Way had bearing
trees at his place near Ways Station,
on the A. G. l.. fourteen miles from
Savannah, at that time.
Many of the older residents of Sa-
'vannah can authenticate this state
ment.
Perhaps you intended to state The
first pecan seed planted near Albany
in Georgia was twenty-seven years
ago" That might be correct, but

FRIED CHICKEN FOR IS. 900 CHURCH.
MEN IS A MAMMOTH UNDERTAKING

TOPEKA, Kan.-The ministers
and delegates, laymen and laywomen,
who attend the International Con-
yention of Christian Churches in To-
peka next October will have plenty
of fried chickens to eat while here.
F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, has undertaken
to provide the chickens. In a letter
to a local minister who secured the
convention for Topeka during the re-
cent Pittsburg meeting, Mr.. Coburn
said:
Il am constantly mindful of my
poultry obligations and l expect to
set one hen next week"
1t happened this way When the
Topeka folk started the boom for the
church convention several meetings
were held. In the course of a speech
at one of these meetings T. A. Nc

Greater love than this hath no
man, that he give his life for his
friend" What shall be said, there
fore, of the man who suffers all
things that humanity may benefit
from his sufferings? Frank Gentes
was a patient in a cancer hospital in
New York. 4 know that my case is
hopeless" he told the doctors, so
would be glad if you would proceed
to make any experiments you please
on me- in order that other sufferers
may profit" The doctors, knowing
Gentes' case to be beyond hope, took
him at his word and experimental.
They tried radium, x-rays and what
ever else science suggested as a pos
sible relief. The sufferer told them
to go as far as you like" Some
times his pain was eXcruciating, but
he never uttered a whimper He had
dedicated his poor body to the cause
of humanity, and his spirit was
strong enough to sustain his resolu-
tons. Three days ago he died. 1t is
to be hoped the experiments by the
doctors were fruitful of means to the
relief of other cancer victims.

DEBATE is WARM OVER WAR
Big Appropriation Is Asked For the
Army. Is Costing the Nation -
Per Cent. of Its Revenues.

FER Gent. OF It's
WASHINGTON, D. C.-When the
house met yesterday the army ap-
preparation bill was taken up for con-
sideration. Agreement was reached
to limit general debate on the bill to
five hours, and Chairman Hull of the
committee on military affairs took
the floor to explain its provisions.
THE wonderful results of the civil
war are responsible for the enormous
cost to the nation annually of wars
past and to come, declared Mr.. Hull
in explaining the provisions of the
bill The bill calls for an appropria-
ton of S95,212,71S.
Mr.. Hull said that the army and
navy cost the United States not more
than 1855, 100000 annually, and he
took exception to statement made
by Chairman Tawney Of the appro-
priation committee, in a recent
speech, that wars past and those be-
ing prepared for are costing the ma
ton 70 per cent. of its net revenues
annually.
He added that the $3.50, 100000
given annually in pensions should not
be included as a war cost, being rath-
er charity. He justified the enor-
nous amount so spent, because the
result of the war which made the APP
preparation necessary was to keep the
republic intact. Had there been any
other result, he said the country
eventually would have been divided
into half a dozen republics, none of
them important enough to command
the respect of world powers.

Dispatch and News makes the state
ment very different.
But | agree with The News as to
the value of the pecan as an agricul-
tural asset Strange, is it not, how
many farm houses have red oaks or
water oaks as shade trees around the
premises when the pecan or even
black walnut would be of so much
more value? Both of these nut-bear-
ing trees give ample shade in sum-
mer, when wanted, and besides will
pay handsomely in the fruit (nYts)
they produce. nr
| Impress upon the farmers the COM
mon sense of this matter. The red
oak produces shade in summer and
plenty of litter in the fall, and that
is all; while the nut-bearipg trees
give as comfortable shadesin Summer
and a harvest of valuable fruit in
the fall. Keep the ball in motion,
Mr.. Editor, and urge the Farmers
to give these valuable trees place
and space on their properties as they
must enhance the value every. year.
Respectfully, G. N. SAUSSY.

form the convention that if it would
come to Topeka next year he, Mr..
Coburn, would guarantee to furnish
fried chicken to all the ministers,
delegates and others who attended.
1t is expected that there will be
from ten to fifteen thousand dele
gates in Topeka. Mr. Coburn plan
ned to hatch by incubators enough
chickens to supply all the visitors.
He will set one hen and raise
enough chickens to supply his own
family and guests, and this was to
be an example to other loyal Tope-
kans who will entertain during the
convention. They are to purchase q
setting of eggs and a hen and raise
chickens for use during the conven-
ton.
The suggestion has met with a
ready response, and the indications
are that there will be thousands of
broods of chickens in the yards of
Topekans next spring and summer,
and the chickens will be at the best
about October, when the convention
meets.

VELVET BEANS RESTORE LAND
Government Agent Urges Rotation

Peas, Also, as Tones.

Peas, Also, as TONES.
JACKSON, Mise. H. Afford,
special agent of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has given
the following to the press: James
j. Hill says: Give US a system of
farming in the United States which
shall greatly increase the productive
ness of the SOIL
Diversified farming and stock
raising is the only system of farm
ing that will increase the productive
culture of cotton always means a
poor soil. Our lands need a rotation
of crops, including leguminous crops,
and much of it should be devoted to
the livestock industry. A better bal
anced system of farming is needed.
by suitable rotation of cotton,
corn and peas, oats followed by peas
or lespedeza, every acre of our run
down farms might in a few years
have its producing capacity more
than doubled. Such d system of
farming would in few years regen-
crate our worn lands to where one
third of the farm planted in cotton
would yield as much as the two
thirds now in cotton yields Under
this system with the legumes, the
lands of Mississippi would need only
ground phosphate rock, which can be
purchased for about S. per ton.
This system would rapidly increase
the productiveness of the soil and at
the same time save millions of dol
lars in fertilizer bills.
1--WE are told in a bulletin issued
by the Louisiana station that one
acre of Spanish peanuts grown on
very poor land at Calhoun contained
1872 pounds of nitrogen worth at
commercial fertilizers value at least
$35. One acre of velvet beans con-
tanned 1911; and one acre of COW peas
108 pounds. These crops made from
two to three and a half tons of feed
stuffs, richer in food elements than
wheat bran. Where such restorative
crops can be grown on land and fed
to stock without serious loss in fer
tilizing value is there any excuse for
poor land?"

HE GETS 5000 FOR ONE HOG.
\ Kentucky POrker Weighing SO4
Pounds Is COuntrY's Largest.


Pounds Is COuntry's Largest.
Christian county, Kentucky, has
further cinched it's claim to the dis
tinction of producing the prize hog
of the season. A few days ago J. j.
Reed killed a porker that tipped the
scales at 754 pounds, and no other
county has yet produced a hog that
has beat this, so Christian county de-
cided to go even this one better, and
brought John Pitzer to the front with
hog weighing 804 pounds dressed.
The hog he killed was of the Po-
land China species, and when dressed
| it required the united efforts of nine
men to handle the carcass. At the
prevailing price of 10 cents a pound
for dressed pork this hog would have
brought Mr.. Pitzer 5000 had he
sold it in that form.

TIED TO RAILROAD TRACK.
With Limbs Crushed Victim Signaled
Second Approaching Train.


In Macon no trace of evidence has

identity of the four negroes who
robbed Dan Matthews Saturday night
under an arc light on Second street
and then bound him hand and foot
to the tracks of the Central railroad
at the crossing, where he was run
over and badly mangled. Matthews
lived even after a second train
reached the point, and was able to
signal the crew in time to prevent
another train from passing over him.
Matthews said the train must have
knocked him partially loose from the
rail before running over his leg. He
was able to make a statement and
talked fully of his terrible expe-
rience.

Developments at the 100000 gas
making plant of the public utilities
companies have reached such an adj
vanced state that one of the big new
generators, having a maximum out
put of 100000 cubic feet of arti-
fetal gas per day is operating. While
the present operation of the gener-
ator is In the nature of a test, the
utilities people not having formally
accepted 1t from the United Gas I'm
provement company of Philadelphia,
the big machine is making good and
has in realty already begun its years
of service at gas making.
Until the second of the two gen.
orators is IN commission the old gas
plant will be kept in operation. That
such an arrangement has been made
should be good news to local house
wives who have on sundry occasions
in the past found gas a minus guam
tity when the dinner hour arrived.
This trouble was caused by the lack
of double equipment at the plant,
and the result was that when part
Of the plant was out of order, 1t was
all out of commission.
Can Fall Back on Old Plant.
Now. however, the old plant can
be fallen back on If the new gener-
ator fails, and the generator can
supply its 100000 cubic feet If the
old plant fails. When the second
new generator IS working the fact
that two of the gas making machines
are in operation will insure against
delays IN service.
OF course, the demand for gas is
not such at this time as to make it
necessary to exert the new generator
TO it's fullest capacity. But the pleas
ing assurance of the gas man is that
the gas is there any time consum-
ers want 1t.
