Ten days ago I travelled over a good
portion Of Alabama, and in some

the farmers are trying to change
their methods and are trying to cut
their large farms up and sodding
them with bermuda grass so as to
raise cattle and hogs. Should the
boil weevil got so bad and ruin their
cotton crops or what little cotton
they plant, they would be in good
shape, as they would have plenty of
hogs and cattle to sell and the loss
of the cotton crops would not cut
much of figure with them. Now
it may be several years before the
weeyil reaches Lee county, but
would it not BE- good idea to start
in time and should the weevil never
come. The man in nay opinion who
cuts his large farm into small ones
and starts the hog and hominy and
cattle business viii be the best off.

Cotton Opening Fast
In Lee County Fields
Rains have helped to Stop early Opening.
however.

In many of the cotton fields of
Lee county the bolls Of cotton are
opening very rapidly. This is a little
early for opening cotton, but the
protracted drouth experienced here
is responsible for it.
The recent rains should have
very salutary effect in this particu-
lar, and they will stop a great deal
ofcotton from opening prematurely,
which is not to be desired. The fact
that the crop is about two weeks
late will also serve to keep much Of
it from openining for some time te
come.
Very soon the first bale TO be ga
thered in Lee county will be ready
for the market, though it will be la
ter this year, probably, than last.
The Journal would be glad to know
Of the first bale that is picked and
ginned in Lee county, and it will
expect to hear from the farmer who
has this honor this year.

met nay friend, Mr.. julie Forester,
i'm South Georgia last week and the
first thing he said to me, What
will the farmers dowith theircorn?"
One thing that makes them have
such fine crops is the fact that they
are small farms and all white peo-
pie who do their work and are not
afraid to do it. They do not sit :
round the small towns and white
on white pine boxes all day.
But after all my travels this is not
a better place to farm in than Lee
county. We have as good lands as
any state I have travelled in. The
only drawback to Lee county is the
large farms. If our people would
get together, cut their large farms
into small ones and they advertise
in The Journal and other papers as
other counties do, they would soon
have all the good white people they
would need. Talk and boost the
county and never fail to keep it
continually before the people and
you will see Lee county grow.

Lee County Pecan Groves
Un8xcgIIed in Georgia
FINER PECAN TREES LANDS FOR GROWING PECAN TREES
CAN HARDLY BE FOUND IN THE WORLD.-DEMAND
NFoR LANDS WAS NEVER so GREAT ASST
is AT THIS TINE.

Throughout the entire country is
the fame Of Lee county pecan lands
being waited more and more each
day, and inquiries are coming in
now from various sections of the
United States concerning land here
that is suited to pecans, just as a
large number Of inquiries have been
received from various parts Of the
world concerning the splendid grove
just below Leesburg that is known
as the Ramsey orchard.
This grove, which includes about
80acres Of bearing trees of the finest
and most desirable varities, has
been the subject Of inquiry from
residents Of distant Australia and
other parts OF the world, some Of
whom have sent orders to Mrs.
Ramsey for some Of these excellent
Lee county grown nuts. This is
without doubt the finest pecan grove
in Lee county or in this section Of
Georgia, So valuable has this pro.
perry been esteemed that an offer of
$S0. 900, or $1,000 per acre, was
made for it, probably the highest
price ever offered for 50 large grove
in Georgia.
The Ramsey grove, however, is
only one Of the numerous groves in
this county. Among the Others that
are Of the first rank both in size and
in quality of nuts produced are the
groves of Messrs. Bob Pryor, Guy
Pryor, Lowery Brothers, and a nuns
Der OF large groves in the southern
part Of the county that have been
sold in part to residents who live
outside the county and state. In
addition to these are scores Of
smaller orchards. There is pro-
badly no county in Georgia that has
a larger acreage in pecans than Lee
county.
The pecan busin ess in Lee coun-
ty has long ago passed the expert
mental stage, It is recognized here
as one of The hest investments that
can be made, and each year sees a
large increase in the number Of acres
set out in pecans and in the number
Of new investors. There is no
stronger drawing card for Lee coun-
ty than the unexcelled value Of its
land for the growth Of pecans, in
addition to its worth for the growth
of aay crop that can be grown in this
section of Georgia. A neatly kept
pecan grove is one Of the most at
tractive sights that can be seen in
Lee county.
A number Of the finest groves in
the county are on the Central Of
Georgia's railroad tracks, and'these
groves are seen and admired each
year by hundreds of travellers who
marvel at the beauty and the at
Effectiveness Of the Lee. county
groves. The well known Ramsey
grove is on the railroad, though the
most wonderful part Of this orchard
is to be seen best from the link

Mr.. Abner Green Shot
By Negro Last Monday
Wound not Fatal, but very Painful.

Mr.. Abner Green, farmer resid-

morning by William Webster, an
old negro residing on the Frank
Ferguson plantation, after Green,
according to Webster's statement,
had shot the old negro's son to
death at his home and was firing
upon the old man with his revolver.
Webster used a single barrel shot
gun, loaded with birdshot, and
fred only one time, the charge
striking Mr.. Green in the face. It
is not believed the wound is fatal
one. although it is very painful.

AS | see this movement OF the
Central Of Georgia to colombo the
large Lee county tract, it is absolu-
tely the. biggest development Of its
kind ever recorded in this part Of
the country. We have many colon
ization companies and all CONNER
cial bodies of course are working to
bring in new people; but the fact
that great railroad system, as the
Central is, should turn its Agricul-
tural Department to the develop
ment Of one particular tract, to be
sold absolutely at cost, without pro-
fit to any one connected with the
road, will mean a broader develop
ment than could be brought about
in any other way.

Central. We wanted it Of course
for our county, but when we found
we could not secure just what Mr..

ty, we naturally were glad tosee you
get it, and the fact that the develop
ment is to be made in Lee county
will not lessen our interest one bit

GEESE REQUIRE FREE RANGE
cIassed as Almost Non-Sitting Var
iety, They Are Good Layers
GosIings Grow Rapidly.

Geese need abundance of room, and,
n the case of breeding stock, access
to water. But there must be many
poultry keepers in rural districts who
have opportunities of breeding these
useful members of our stock yards,
and a work like the present would be
incomplete did they find place in
it.
The Toulous goose may almost be
classed as a non-sitting variety; they
are wonderfully good layers, though
rather late in starting, rarely in this
district (Southwaite, Cumberland) be
fore the middle of February, and con-
tinue laying so late in the season that
should they then show an inclination
to sit, which is generally slight, if at
all, it is not worth while risking eggs
with them. Thirty eggs in a season
is only a fair average for one healthy
goose to produce. Thirty goslings
reared from one goose in one season
is one record; 100 eggs all fertile from
three geese is another; but oveT-fed

What is Woman S
Beauty but Health ?
And the Basis of Her Health and
Vigor Lies in fi'e Careful Reg
Uiafion of fFle RozceLS.

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced TO the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habituaily con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. S.
Vance. of 511 S. Ray ST., New Castle,
Pa At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children. It
is also admirably suited to the require,
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or infirmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills
or purgatives. These should always be

stick. No wood should be removed
with the bud, and care should be taken
when the bud proper is extra large to
avoid pulling the soft wood or core
out of it. 1t may be necessary in
such a case to first loosen the bark
containing the bud, on one side up
to the bud proper, then carefully cut
this soft core with a knife and the
rest of the bud piece may be easily
removed. AS soon as the bud is re-
moved from the bud stick is should
be inserted into the stock. This is
readily accomplished by first carefully
turning back the upper corners of the
~ shaped cut, slightly prying them
away from the wood, then inserting
the base of the bud into the opening,
pushing it down until the top and bot
tom of the bud are flush with the
transverse cuts on the stock, and the
bud lies smoothly and snugly against
the latter. By making the bud force
its own passage under the bark after
this manner there is much less ex-
posure to the air than if the sides of
the cut are first turned back and the
bud then laid in place. The bud is
now ready for tying.
The Flute 5ud-In this method of
budding it is best to first shape the
bud and then cut the stock to fit it
The bud, which is rectangular, about
three-fourths of an inch long, and five
eighths of an inch wide is made and
removed from the bud stick exactly
as in the Hinge Bud. When the cion
bud is in place, care must be taken
that the sides Of the bud fit up snugly
all around
In either case, after the bud is in
place the two are snugly wrapped.
Special care should be exercised in
the wrapping to see that the bud is
pressed firmly against the wood Of
the stock Much of the success of the
operation depends on proper wrapping.
In many cases there is prominent
elevation where the leak stalk has
become detached, and unless care is
used in pressing this down firmly in
the tying it will draw away and no
union will result. When properly
tied, wrap the entire bud with waxed
cloth to keep out moisture and air,
and wax all over. The following wax
is recommended: Rosin, pounds;
beeswax, 1 pound; finely pulverized
wood charcoal, y pound; raw linseed
oil, 1 gil. First melt the beeswax
and rosin, add the charcoal, stirring
constantly, and then add the oil
Mould into cakes by pouring into
creased pans. When desiring to use
break off a few Jumps, melt and apply
in liquid state with brush or swab.
