Growing Wheat in Sumter.

No better object lesson has been
placed before the farmers Of Sumter
county recently than the growing Of
excellent wheat on four acres Of land
BY Mr.. J. S. McGarrah as a practical
demonstration Of whatcan be done
in Sumter county in the way Of
growing wheat on the average farm.
Mr.. McGarrah has gained an ade-
.quate reward for his labors and has
also set an example worthy Of emu
lation by the farmers of the county.
A number of farmers in Sumter
county for several years have grown
wheat in small quantities. Mention
of much Of this wheat growing has
been made in The Times-Recorder
in the past. 1t is well worth while
that the many farmers of the couu-
ty who do not grow wheat show
know what those are doing who are
making a success out Of this grain
which is 50 vital for the sustenanee
Of human life.
Sinceit has been 50 clearly demon-
strated in the past that wheat can
be grown probably III Sumtercoun-
ty, why is it that more farmers do
moi endeavor to raise a few acres OF
wheat each year2 Some Of the more
aggressive farmers Of the county
have set excellent examples for the
others. What a heavy blowcould be

Lee COunty's Pecan Groves.


Probably no county its size in
Georgia mas such splendid pecan
groves as has Lee county. The splen-
did trees in this county are notable
both in the excellence Of their pro-
duct and in the large number Of
them that is found.
1t has only been in comparatively
recent years that pecan culture
gained much notice in this county.
Since the growing Of pecans became
popular here, however, there have
been many who have interested
themselves in the work, with the
result that this county is one Of the
largest pecan growing counties in
this section Of Georgia.
Another feature of the growing
Of pecans in Lee county is the fact
that for the most part the groves
here are owned by people who re-
side here. The many fakes that
I have been perpetrated upon non
resident investors have not been put
through in this county, as III some
others. Here for the most part
those who own pecans are interested
in their groves personally for the
genuine worth that may be in them
and not to use them as a basis for
wildcat speculation.

truck at the high cost Of living, il
the FARMERS ofSumter county would
adopt this method
What is needed now in Sumter
county is for large number Of the
farmers to adopt the plan which a
few have already found worth while.
If the majority Of the farmers Of
Sumter county would grow a few
acres Of wheat each year, IL would
soon make possible a grist lnillhere
to grind as good flour as anyone
could desire. It would do more than
that 1t would not only produce a
material saving in the cosS Of living
but it would bring rich returns in
better food, better health and great
er enjoyment Of farm life. Isn't it
worth trying?-Times Recorder.

Raise More Colts: Buy Fewer Mules

Georgia is paying twelve million
dollars year for mules. This
money is going to Kentucky and the
west.
The state is raising few colts.
Think Of driving past SO farms that
do not raise colts before coming in
ito one farm that does. That is the
record.
Georgia should raise more colts
land buy fewer mules. If one far
mer in a given territory were to
raise one colt, ninety-nine Of his
neighboring farmers would be in
the market for it.
We hope conditions are chang
ling, for where heavy farm mares
are being substituted foe mules the
change has proven profitable. The
mares, especially the Percheron,
have shown their ability to pillow the
land better than lightweight mules.
Co-operative breeding associations
are being formed and an awakening
interest is being manifested.
According to the last census tieor-
gia owned l20,o67 horses, only 80.
per cent Of these being on farms.
Georgia farmers holding bottom
place among states for number Of
horses owned BY farmers. OF the
36,020 horses on Georgia farms,
perhaps one-half were mares. The
census report only 3,91Scolts. On
the basis Of a GO per cent, breeding
record, the 1900 mares. should
have produced 10.806 colts, but it
will seen that Georgia farmers have
been very Indifferent about raising
colts when they could be expected
to raise. A very deplorable state
OF affairs.
But we hope the day Of awaken
ing has come. We trust that the
solution Of the farm power problem
is near at hand. Macon News.

To watch for my good ship sailing home
With beautiful things for me.

Building against the day and hour

And the stars smiled fair at night,
And the sun smiled bland in the day
And all were silent and warned me not,
That my labor was thrown away.
The sea sang low at my feet,
And the sands shone white and wide,
And never a voice in earth or sky
TO warn me against the tide.
And my house rose goodly fair,
White-gabled against the sky,
laughed atthe sea weed s warning touch
And the grey gulls screaming by.

OF truth and trust that endure,

IWITCHCRAFT FAILS TO
STAND TEST IN COURT
Efficacy Of Old Bible for Pointing Out
Evi!doers Not Upheld-Owner
Fined.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin. March 1.-The efficacy of white
witchcraft as means of detecting evil
doers was raised in the second Berlin
penal court recently when an elderly
woman named Adelheld Gebhardt. who
lives in the village of Bohnsdorf. was
charged with slandering a neighbor. the
wife Of the village barber.
Frau Gebhardt has an old leather
bound Bible which she declares is en-
chanted. When crime is committed in
the village she takes the Bible in one
hand and puts a huge, ancient key be-
tween the leaves, holding the ring end
Of the key in the other hand. She re-
peats an appropriate text and then asks:
Dear Bible say who Is the guilty per-
son." meanwhile herself recitlns the
right name Is uttered the Bible springs
out of her hand and falls to the floor.
This method Of detecting crime natur-
ally caused considerable unpleasantness
In the village. Recently Frau Gebhardt
missed some money. The Bible declared
that the BARRIERS wife was the thief.
Frau Gebhardt promptly denounced her,
but in the absence OF evidence the charge
fell through. rrau Gebhardt was then
prosecuted for slander.
She showed the court how she estab-
lished the guilt of the barber's wife
with the Bible, which actually again
fell to the floor when the accused pro-
nounced the woman's name. The court,
however, decided that one reason for the
falling Of the Bible was that Frau Geb-
hardt's septuagenarian fingers could not
hold 1t while she was reciting twenty
names; also that unconscious reflex ac-
ton of the nerves at the mention Of a
particular name had something to do

BISCUIT" THE FAVORITE
COLOR OF SOCIETY FOLK
Shade in Vogue at the Riviera Peeu-
liarly Becoming to American
Brunettes,

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London, March Just now all smart
women who invariably run down to the
Riviera before Easter are using as their
favorit" color what is known as bis
cult" This is a shade peculiarly becom-
ing to American brunettes. but with the
bright complexion of English women
this shade requir' a touch of vivid
color.
\ particularly charming Riviera
gown was chosen by Miss Dorothy Pinto
who married James de Rothschild last
Tuesday. This costume was fashioned in
damasked crepon i'll soft shade of bis
cult: the skirt draped in front with a
short tunic pleated at one side which
falls over a longer tunic reaching almost
to the hem at the back. Only this longer
drapery was seen and it was so arranged
in wide loops and ends as to suggest a
very graceful sash.
The coat was also draped and fastened
in front with two handsome Brande-
bourgs, embroidered in satin and touches
of this embroidery were seen on the re-
verse. A dainty Little blouse in biscuit
colored tulle finished with long. close
fitting sleeves. accompanied the dress
and wide centure of emerald green
velvet contributed just that note of con-
trast which the biscuit demands.
II is noticeable indeed that many OF
the new dresses designed for the South
display hues so cold hat touches of
black or of some brilliant color must
be introduced.

nothing but disasters to Germany. prom
ises to become one of the happiest that
