TO GATHER ESQ BALES
FROM 10 HORSE FARM
Fine Results From a Sumter
Plantation

Three miles ont o. Americas, on the
Lee street road is the fine farm of Mr.
j. W. HoWard-a farm which has IN
dergone a wonderful transformation
during three years. That long ago It
was an ordinary old plantation, like
many others in Sumter, which had not
felt the effect of modern science in
agriculture
The place contains $50 acres, and
was formerly the Bird place.
About that long ago Mr.. Howard
was pulling the bellcord on Seaboard
freight train, and his knowledge of
farming compared favorably with what
he knew of aeroplaining or the man.
agement of a comic opera company.
But he switched from the Seaboard
and bought the Bird farm. Nor has he
regretted the step for moment.
During these two or three years he
has built up and enriched the land,
built new houses and barns, and other
wise beautiied and improved the place.
And all this time he made good
crops, cotton crops that caused his
neighbors to sit up and take notice. In
fact, he went all around them"
Mr.. Howards crops were the adml-
ration of all who passed by the old
Bird place and inspected them. 1t beat
railroading at 500 per, all hollow.
After the second year of successful
farming Walt Howard refused cash
offer of $4,000 for his farm. This was
twice the sum he paid for it, and more,
but he was making money, and didn't
need the price of his land.
And when another prospective buyer
dared Mr.. Howard to name a price, the
dare" went untaken.
That's a good farm" he remarked
to real estate agent who wanted it.
Il am going to keep it myself"
This year Mr.. Howard, with eight
HSSlO6S winning SlA "S0hS, Jug up
and hauled out of his fields $500 fat
lightwood stumps Besides having en-
ough firewood to last a lifetime, he has
improved his lands and now works
cultivators and disc plows where they
were never worked before.
His broad red lands, free of stumps,
are not excelled in Sumter. His is
now a model farm indeed.
This year he will make $50 bales cot
ton with 16 plows, or nearly sixteen
bales to the plow. One field of seventy
acres has already yielded fifty bales
cotton, and looks as though it would
yield half as many more. In all Sum
ter county there is no finer cotton thar
on Walt Howard's farm.
Yes, I'll just keep the old farm" h
aid, as he saw a freight train dash by
and his thoughts reverted to days fa1
less prosperous. Today he is one o
Sumter's most successful farmers.

NELSON ATTACKS TAFT.
OF Opinion Reciprocity Treaty

Senator Nelson of Minnesota before

President Taft for seeking to prevent
the senate from amending the Canadi-
an reciprocity treaty. He declared
that the constitution made the senate
a party to the treaty making power of
the country and offered some amend
ments to the measure,
Senator Nelson's amendments will
reduce about one-half of the existing
tariff rates on most of the farm prod
ucts. TO put farm products on the
free list, he declared, was legislating
directly against the farmer.
President Taft is evadtng the con

ate to accept this agreement as it was
presented. He is trifling with the SEN
