just sold to the Taylor Brothers. The
distributor, or wagon, has been chris

quantity and any width desired. It
can be distributed very thick or very

The Taylor Brothers are very much
pleased with the machine. 1t was in
operation on their big farm near town

A BOY, AN ACRE AND A GOAT

During this season of record break
ing corn production in Benton county,
Ark, an acre of corn three and half
miles northeast of Rogers proved of
so much interest to the department at
Washington that Logan Lieb, the
county demonstrated, has been asked
to secure a photograph of the most inn
portant features of the acre of corn.
This has been done.
In the foreground of the lecture is
great choclz of corn labeled Fifty
bushels to the acre." Beside the
corn stands Earl Hopping, holding
light plough to which is harnessed
billygoat. On the other side is the
homemade cart in which young Hop
ping hauled manure to the field. The
elder Hopping and Lieb also appear
in the picture. The ground is covered
with flint rock, and Mr.. Lieb says it
is the rockiest acre of ground in Ben
ton county. The ploughing of the field
and the entire cultivation of the corn
was done by young Hopping and his
faithful billygoat, and the ground
could not have been cultivated more
than an inch or two deep.
But shallow cultivation after care
full preparation is what the govern
ment demonstrators urge. On this
rocky acre of land the corn by actual
measure made fifty bushels of corn.
Young Hopping is member of the
Boys Corn Club of Arkansas, and is
worker and successful corn pro-

No southern congressman has a

proposed to give themselves the same

there been an actual visit home and

hadn't been any interval between the

Veteran Of Famous Battle Celebrates
Anniversary Of Event by Play
Ing Billiards.

April 13 was the forty.ninth ami
versary Of the taking Of Fort Sumtes
by the confederate forces. There has
always been some doubt Rs to the
identity of the man who fred the first
shot in that famous fight; bat there
has never been q question as to the
identity of the man who, on that 18th
Of April, 1850, lowered the American
flag from over the fort In the first Do.
feat suffered by the Union army in
the Civil war. The man was Lieut.
Col. H. w. Hammer, now . resident
OF Los Angeles. and the old man, now
more than seventy years old, cele
brated the fall of that famous fort by
playing billiards all afternoon with q
fellow soldier at his hotel.
Although having passed his three
score years and ten. the old soldier
is hale and hearty. and the hand that
held the billiard cue was az steady
and the eye az clear as they were 10
years ago. when he lowered the nag.
1t 10 his boast that he can outwork
many man 20 years younger than
himself. He neither drinks, smokes
nor chews, and he thinks nothing OF
starting out in the morning for q ten
mile ramble over the hills.
Colonel Hammers memory in re
gard to the taking of the fort II won
derfully clear. and to hear him tell OF
the events which took place during
the battle. one would think they had
happened yesterday instead OF nearly
half century ago.
II was regimental Quartermasteg
sergeant. First artillery" said Colonel
Hammer. II was assigned to Fort
Moultrie, but was transferred with
two companions Of artillery to Fort
Sumter, which was located about 1906
yards from Moultris. The reason fog
abandoning Fort Moultrie was that II
could be easily swept by a rife frs
from the tops of the nearby houses.
THE confederate troops were sta.
toned in front of Sumter, and when
they saw us transferring all our forces
to that fort they began building bat
teries. The next day the 18th of
April. they sent a demand to Mater
Anderson, who was In command of
Fort Sumter. to surrender. Anderson
and word was sent that yn.
less he surrendered within an hour
they would open FIRE.
Our supplies we're low. He had
heard that Lincoln was sending relief.
but whether or not we could hold out |
until 1t reached US we did not know.
Dur ammunition was low, too.
Anderson agreed that unless pro-
visions reached us by the fifteenth we
would leave the fort. and meanwhile

he said he would make no hostile
movements. This did not satisfy the
confederates. who we're under General
Beauregard, and between two and
three o'clock on the morning Of the
twelfth they opened fire. The first
shot came from mortar on Johnson's
island. 1t was afterward said that the
frst shot was fired by former Gov
ernor Ruffo of Virginia from the iron.
clad battery on Morris island, but
this Is not right.
so low was our ammunition that
we could not afford to waste q shot:
every shell had to tell, SO we waited
until 1t was light enough for our gun
ners to take careful aim before reply.
Ing to the fire Of the confederates.
There is a popular idea that An.
derson surrendered the fort. That 10
not true. We did not surrender. and
never would have. We marched out
under Anderson's own terms, with our
flag flying and the band played yam
kee Doodle and we were allowed to
board the transport Isabella, which
was lying in the harbor."
