First National bank occupies the entire

OF SORGHUM VARIETY

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Oct H.-This
week W. H. Benton. of Chestnut Noun
tain, came in to tell US OF some sorghum
cane that he has raised that beats Green
Hunters all hollow. The beauty of Mr..
Benton's cane is that he is sure that he
has a new variety that will revolutionize
the cane Industry in this section of the
country.
Mr.. Benton planted ordinary cane seed
on three-fourths Of an acre and made
30 gallons Of syrup, which was an I'M
usually good yield. But not having
enough seed he bought more, not know
ing the variety, and planted these seed
by the side OF the others, and was as
tonished at the results. The cane grew
much taller and one-twentieth of an acre
made 30 IL gallons Of syrup. He says
he thinks IL is a cross between ribbon
cane and common sorghum.

COTTON PICKING IN GEORGIA

COMMERCE, Ca. Oct. 2.-Monday OF
this week, ten year old Hattie Kelly who
lives with Mrs. A. L. Bolton on their
farm one mile southeast of Commerce
picked 800 pounds of cotton. She went
to the field shortly after sunup and pick
ed till near shutdown with a reasonable
rest at the noon hour Her highest rec
ord prior to Monday was 225 pounds. She
believed this record could be surpassed
by 100 pounds and made an extra effort
with the result that only three pounds
were lacking to accomplish the desired
gain.
If all cotton pickers could equal the
record of little Hattie, there would be no
cry of scarcity of labor in gathering
the present crop.

We were surprised at the immensely and
the smoothness Of the potatoes shown by
Mr. Martin Rogers and as matter OF
information we asked him about the yield,
when he promptly responded: AT the
rate of a thousand bushels to the acre.
Now, Mr. Rogers has no reason in the
world for making a statement that is
otherwise than straight and we have ac-
cepted it as being true. He has made
his reputation and considerable money In
this line of agriculture and for this rea-
