Will TEST
WORTH OF
DYNAMITE
ON The RYLANOER FARM
Unique Experiment to Be
Made

Mr. Arthur Rylander, upon his farm
five miles east of Americus, is going to
demonstrate this year the value of dy-
Mantle in the effective preparation Of
land for farming, and will do this in
manner so careful in detail as will se-
cure the best results both in the culti-
yation of corn and cotton crops. The
experiments will be made upon lani
worth SIS per acre, two tracts Of
three acres each and lying upon oppo-
site sides of the graded highway pass
ing the Rylander plantation, have been
selected for this experimental work.
Three acres will be planted in corn
and the other three acres in cotton.
The first acre, next the road, will oe
thoroughly dynamited, fuses being put
in at very close intervals and the land
thoroughly broken by the explosive.
The next acre will be broken with sub
soil plows, while the third acre viii
be cultivated in the manner usual in
the cultivation of corn crops in this
section. The same amount Of fertilizer
will be used upon the three acres of
corn, and the growing crop will be
cultivated alike, the long rows ex-
tending straight across the three
tract. A careful account of the cost OF
each acre will be kept, and the crop
yield of the three acres will be meas
ured separately.
Just across the road Mr.. Rylander
will experiment in similar manner with
three acres of cotton; dynamiting the
first acre OF land, sub-soiling the next
acre, and cultivating the third in an
ordinary manner. The yield from eacn
will attest the value of land prepara-
ton, the three acres being cultivated
alike. Mr.. Rylander is an extensive
and successful planter and this DEM
onstration work will be of much in
terest to the farming fraternity OF
Sumter county as whole. Hundreds
will watch the growing corn and cot
ton, and await the announcement OK
the yield of each acre, as will be given
separated when q crop is gathered.
1t costs $12 to SIS per acre to dyna-
mite land thoroughly, Mr.. Rylander
says, and that he is going to do his
work thoroughly is evidenced in he
fact that he has purchased enough
dynamite to pulverize his land and
blow out every stump on his farm as
well.

TO DEATH BY SOLDIERS

MIAMI CITY, Suburb of Dayton.
OhioD. March 29-FTfty thousand
survivors Of the great Dayton flood
passed a night of terror brought about
by constant shooting by military
guards. Just how many hooters have
been killed will remain unknown foI
days The facts only figure in mill

Fifty shots were fired between mid
night and o'clock this morning with
in hearing Of the main hospital quar-
ters in the National Cash Register

of the town. where efforts are being
made to clear away debris, report that
five looters were shot after midnight.
One Of these was a negro who had
succeeded in entering a Madison

one Of the FIVE men shot is dead
Orders have been issued to the sol
diers TO infiict summary execution on
corpse robbers. These ghouls have
been sneakine through downtown and
inner resident streets like hyenas af-
ter a battle.
There were five fires in the resideE-
tiaI part Of the town to-day. Most Of
these were caused BY natural gas that
had been Danucd up in cellars. Efforts
of imprisoned families to build fires
for cooking purposes in gas filled
houses caused many explosions Vol
unteer guards are performing goc4
service in subGuing the fires. From
midnigh, 20 daylight fifteen alarms of
fire were received. but half Of them
were false.
At dawn to-day the water in TIE
business part of Dayton had subsidized.

PEACH LOSS is 100000,
SAYS LATEST ESTIMATE

Revised estimates Of damage to
the Georgia peach crop indicate to-
day that from 50 to IS per cent losses
will be sustained by growers in
North Georgia, but the Fort Valley
section and the southern belt es-
capped with slight damage
r. Lee Worsham, State Entomolo-
gist, declared this morning that the
exact situation could not be deter
mined until Monday. Heavy dam
age. he said, is being reported from
Elberton. Mount Airy, Cornelia,
Gainesville and Gainesville, in
Northeast Georgia, and Rome, Sum
merviIIe and Adairsville in North
vest Georgia.
There is no doubt" he said, "but
that the crop suffered heavily, more
heavily than many of the growers
are willing to admit at once.
The freeze of a week ago did more
damage than was realized at first.
Many blooming trees in Atlanta were
hurt badly before Wednesday nights
heavy frost.
Indications are that the damage
done to the crop will reach 100000,
with North Georgia the heavy loser.
REPORTS from Macon show that the
crop in that vicinity will sustain a
damage of from 5 to Is per cent.
Niuedgeville. GAINESVILLE. Montezu-
ma Marshallville and Thomasville
all showing low temperatures, report
little damage.
Advices from Athens assert that
the damage was heavy and the crop
is destroyed. Precautions on the
part Of officials at the orchards of
the state College of Agriculture
saved the fruit there from serious
damage. The temperature in the
State orchard was kept above freez-
ing by the use of automatic heaters.
The value of the Georgia crop in
1872" said Mr.. Worsham, was esu-
mated from $4,000 600 to S4,OO0,OO0,
While this years crop was expected
TO be light. it is safe TO assume from
Taports at hand that the damage done
in the past two days viii run $780,
