HE MAKES THREE BALES GROW
WHERE ONLY ONE GREW


John B. BreadWell, of Alpharetta,
Ga, the originator Of the now famous
Doubled ointed Cotton on which two
limbs come out together from the main
stalk and two bolls side by side on the
limb, has proven that it is an extraor-
binary variety Of this familiar plant
which, has been evolved by process
of scientific experiment and cultivation
on his own farm.
It's discoverer. who by means of long
observation and tedious scientific ex-
Deriments in the production of the best
kinds of cotton, has won just repu-
tation as a pioneer cotton developer of
the South.
Mr.. Broadwel1 had for some years
been making observations on the best
kind of seed to plant and methods of
cultivation in order to secure the best
results in cotton production, when,
partly by accident, he hit upon the
plant which formed the basis of the
now remarkable doub1e-iointed varie-
tv. In the fall of 1902 Mr. Broadwell
found in his cotton field peculiar
looking kind of cotton The limbs
seemed to come out from the main
stalk and on the two limbs two bolls
grew side by side. A count of the
hollis on the stalk convinced him that
this was the best cotton in the whole
field: the field having been planted with
singular stalks was picked, the seeds
preserved and the next spring they
were planted. The harvest from the
seeds that first year of the experiment
was SO small tnat no 0ennlte results
could be reached, but Mr.. Broadwell
continued the work, preserving the
seeds of this new kind of crop each
wear until in the spring of 1905 he was
able to plant four acres in them
The weld was highly satisfactory
and with renewed study and attention
TO the development of this kind of cot
ton, it has reached a degree of perfec-
ton hardly hoped for and has yielded
as much as 700 bolls on a single plant
BroadwelPs Double Jointed Cotton
has received the highest tribute ever
paid to any variety of cotton 1t has
taken the, first and second prizes for
the largest yield of cotton in the Geor-

CONSTRUCTING
Perhaps Luther Burbank has never
spent more time in the development of
a plant than has been spent in devel-
oping a brand of cotton known as
Poor Mans Friend" Here are some
of the cardinal points about this cot
ton:
New and highly improved; 40 per
cent lint 20 bolls make a pound; fiber
about LIE of an inch longer than mid
ding; $3.50 seeds to the pound; great
est yielder under ordinary conditions
in the South; will make 100 pounds
more lint from $500 pounds seed cot
ton than ordinary cotton; only a linn
tied quantity of seed to be had at any
price. VIII pay $4,000 in prizes for

stock of s5,O0O,O0O, has been commits
stoned by the secretary of State to
purchase, erect and conduct cotton
mills in South Carolina This is THE
organization of the proposed cotton
mill merger announced several days
ago. The books of subscription to the
company wild open in Greenville.
The petitioners as given in the ap-

WOKE FROM DRUNK
AND FOUND. A WIFE
Ernest Brooks Walker Did Not know
He Was Married.-Has Marriage
Annulled.
The State.

The State.
Spartanburg, Dec. 17.-For want OF
consent on the part of the plaintiff,
Ernest Brooks Walker, Of Greenvllle,
formerly a, ticket agent at the South
ern station in Spartanburg, Judge T.
S. Sease, sitting in chambers, has an
nulled the marriage contracted be-
tween Mr.. Walker and Miss Ida Jor-
dan, a pretty telephone operator OF
this city on August 20, last.
In his complaint Mr.. Walker de-
clared he was SO drunk when. the
marriage ceremony was performed
that he had no recollection of it and
did not know he was married until ne
woke up in the Argyle hotel the tol-
lowing morning and found Miss Jor-
dan with him and she told him she
was his wife.
Admits Allegations.
In her answer to his suit, Miss Jor-
dan admitted all his allegations. Rev.
W. NJ. Whitesides, pastor OF Green
Street Baptist church, who married
the couple, said that when they came
to him it was evident that Mr.. Walker
had been drinking, but he was IN per-
feet command of all his senses.
81 talked to them both for some
time" said Mr.. Whitesides, telling
them what an Important step it was
that they were taking and asking
them if they had fully made up their
minds. Mr.. Walker said he and Miss
Jordan had been sweethearts for two
Years and were determined to be mar
ried."
In asking for the annullment Mr..
Walker said that on August 20 and
the day preceding, he and other young
men had been drinking to excess IN
Greenville. He was drunk that even
ing and while in that condition went
to Spartanburg, arriving about .
o'clock. He entered a hack at the sta
ton. bought a pint of whiskey from
the 11ackman and took a big drink
"and soon became oblivious to all
trarspiring events and unconscious OF
/ what I was doing"

He also has al Autograph letter
from Jack London, the author, telling
of their companionship on the road TO-
gether in 1894.
During his travels ga No. 1 has
learned four uages-English, Ger
many, French and Spanish. His par
ents were of the French and German
nationalities, but he was born in San
Francisco.
His toilet set is complete, though it
takes little room to carry it. 1t con-
sists of a toothbrush, soap, comb and
few other necessities. His carving
tools are two knives, kept very sharp.
Blacking and shining rags occupy a
part of his pockets, also a pocket edi-
ton of Webster's dictionary, rather
strange book for a tramp to carry.
He was asked why ne had not writ
ten his book sooner as it is an illus
trated and highly interesting story,
and he stated that lately, after twen-
ty-seven years of rowing, he has come
to the conclusion that the dangerous,
senseless and pitiful life he has led all
these years has been wasted, and
that perhaps by telling his own pitiful
experiences he might possibly prevent
others from following his footsteps
He said that to force boy to stay at
home after he has once started to
wander, is almost impossible, as the
maxim. 'once a tramp, always
tramp" has been many times proven
to him by actual experience. as he has
met many a boy o. fine family and
home who never knew of the filth, mis-
cry and dangers a tramp comes con-
stantly in contact with, yet can not
resist the cal? to wander. Had these
lads read book like his own or Jack
London's or josiah Flint's, showing
the .ritt::r. dark side OIL tramp life.
perhaps they would never have left
their home and friends in exchange
for a rowing, restless existence.
When asked why he did not stop, he
replied: "Do you know that the call
to wander is so irresistible that often
on dark and rainy nights I find myself
walking about railroad yards looking
for a chance to move on? You would
not believe me, yet it is fact, that I
realize that my end will be the same
as that of go per cent. Of all tramps-

1894 I received $1,000 cash and beau

Reports from experiment station go to show
that yield of grain may be increased by

giving a less yield than early or
medium early plowing. Neither
has ii proved a cheap method at
this station during the past two
years, due to the heavy summer
rains that have made frequent
narrowing and disking necessary
in order TO keep down the weeds.
The same condition has made
il very expensive to prepare a
seed bed for wheat by disking
without plowing. 1t required II
diskings in 1908 to prevent the
growth Of weeds and prepare a
rood seed bed by this method.
Disking has also resulted in a

we'll established and fairly well
understood. With good seed, a
few simple factors largely deter
nine the stand and the yield OF
the crop and the quality of the
grain.
In order to secure the ideal
condition for seed germinition
and plant growth, a seed bed for
planting wheat and other small
seeds should not be mellow to
too great a depth, but rather the
soil should be mellow and well
,ulverized only about as deep as
the seed is planted. Below that
lepth the soil should be firm and
well settled, making good con-
,ection with the subsoil, so that
the soil water stored in the sub
soil may be drawn up into the
surface soil.
The firm soil below the seed,
we'll connected with the subsoil,
iupplies the moisture to the seed,
while the mellow soil above the
,eed allows sufficient circulation

ing as mulch to keep the water
from reaching the surface,
where it is rapidly lost by evap-
oration, and the same condition
favors the growth of the young

The too mellow, deep seed bed
is almost wholly dependent upon
rains for sufficient moisture to
germinate the seed and start the
