The grand old dope slipped through
ty an eye-lash at the start. Joe Wood
pitched and Boston won. But Smoky
Joe, through game exhibition, was
doomed until his pals rushed sudden
ly to his aid, and yanked him safely
out of trouble. His next start must
call for increased steadiness or almost
sure trouble if the Giant pitching
stan sticks to form.

There's a queer kink in the dope
today-and here it is. In that hectic
opener both clubs fought to an eye
lash finish, neck and neck, beak and
beak until Woods last shot hurled in
a gray-white streak by Crandalps
bat, and thudded into Cady's mitt.
Yet both teams have lost any great
fear of the other and both are more
confident than they we're at the start.
Boston has carried this confidence all
the time, and sees no reason to
change her mood And New York
sees in the red-hosed legion a team
below the slashing power and general
,resourcefulness of the Mackian guard
the Benders, the Bakers and the 9TH
er home-run makers of year ago.
Yet, the edge is with Boston to
this extent:
That first game counts, and while
Tesreau Is almost sure to pitch better
ball, soils Joe Wood. Neither was at
top form although the Giant mastodon
cut brilliant streak across the first
| five rounds.

SUMMER0UR PRODUCES
HALF AND HALF COTTON

Up to the present the amount of cot
ton to be made. in the cotton growing
states Of the south has been determin-
ed-not by the acreage, for there are
thousands of bales of ripened cotton in
the fields that will never be picked-but
by the amounts of labor available for
this task Now comes II. II. Summer
our, of Duluth, Ca, who has bred and
developed SUMMEROUR'S Half and
Half Cotton-Half Lint and Half Seed,
so that it is now possible, by planting
and cultivating this breed of cotton seed
to be able to pick q bale of cotton with
one-third of the time and labor, and in
addition make from one-third to three
times as much more, per acre, as or
binary cotton.
For years the standard Cor cotton
picking has been that 1900 pounds of
seed cotton ginned out a bale of lint
cotton around 500 pounds and made
1000 pounds of cotton seed, more or
less. The average amount of lint on
ordinary cotton seed IS around SO 1-3
per cent. After years of testing, breed
ing and developing Rdr. Summerour has
run this per centage up to where the
average for Summerour's cotton seed is
from so to 56 per cent.
This is the solution; with one-third
less labor, one-tLird less acreage, the
same amount Of Tint cotton can be pro
duced. According to the Forsyth (Ga.)
County News SIX men, on September
2Ist, last year, ipfcked 3,O37 pounds of
seed cotton, sun1nerour's Half and Half
cotton brand, in single day. This was
an average of over. 500 pounds of seed
cotton per man This was over three
5OO-pound bales. of cottonS whereas with
ordinary cotton it would have been only

SELLING GUAN0
DISTRIBUTOR DIRECT
TO THE FARMERS
Recent Invention Promises to
ReVoIutionize the Guan0
Distribution Problem

On September &c, 1911, a patent was
granted for the Carter guano distributor.
1t was invented by T. L. Carter, OF
Greenville, S. c. The invention will be
welcomed by the farmers of the south.
It is an article of great merit, being rec
ognizeo as such by the best agricultural
experts of the south.
The Carter guano distributor is being
manufactured by the Carter Manufac-
turing company, of Atlanta, of which
Edward o. Miles is president. The dis
tributor was originally built to retail at
50. The manufacturers later decided to
sell direct to- the farmer, and in this
manner cut out the middle mans profit.
In order to introduce the distributor
quickly to the farmers, they have placed
a price of only $50.
The distributor is guaranteed in every
respect, and if not satisfactory after a
weeks trial, it may be returned to the
factory. In speaking of the new inven-
ton, Loring Brown says: Il have tried
the Carter guano distributor. and find II
o. X. in every respect. 1t viii save more

Mrs. Saunders and the two girls were
getting into their carriage for ride, an
officer came up and touched the man
and said. You must go with me. The
king of Spain needs you for his army"
oh" said the servant, I've sent a man
in my place" You did send a man, but
he is dead" While they were talking,
the servant had edged along until he
was from under the mans hand. and
jumped into the doorway over which the
American flag hung. He then declared
he was on American premises, and as

One acre of California land N

port a family, according to wiz
liam E. Smyth Of San Diego. Mr..
Smyth told the National Irriga-
ton congress at Chicago, about a
colony near San Diego, Cal
which he helped TO establish.
He called the colonists the lit
tie landers" because they had
demonstrated how little land was
necessary to furnish family
with a com Portable living.
The colony brings a new man
into our American scheme OF
life" Mr.. Smyth said. "A man
who shall be self-sutf1cient on 4
little land. a man who contrib
utes nothing to the middleman,
but lives next door to the con-
sumner, a man who, if he be not
in the city, is yet of the city,
with all its attractions and ad-
vantages. For. this new man
there must be a new name with
a new significance. ...
He is neither a farmer nor
a rsncher. nor trucker. He is a
scientist. He4 knows the science
of the soil as nobody mas ever

With his own hand he produces

He is a man with initiative,
He carves new pathways for
