WOODPECKERS GO CRAZY
California Birds Are Storing Pebbles
Instead of AcOrnS.

(San Francisco Dispatch to New York
Sum-
The woodpeckers of Sonoma county
are insane, according to a learned doc
ument issued by the museum of ver-
tebrate zoology of tn University of
California.
"The reason California woodpecke' IS
in the vicinity of Sonoma Mountain
should have stored pebbles instead OF
the customary acorns is a myster1,
says the document. we know that
instinct works as automatically as an
alarm clock. In the failure of an
acorn crop it would seem possible
that the woodpeckers might instinct
lively store some other food, but not
stones.
1T seems as though any bird with
the intelligence of the California
woodpeckef which would make that
mistake should be classed as insane. "

Perhaps one of the most interesting

pretty successfully defed civilization.
lies secreted among the Himalaya
Mountains.
Authorities say it is presided over
entirely by women, who are respon-
sible for such rude laws as are neces-
sary even in lawless district man
age the affairs of state, and live in Il
luxury of inverted Mormonism by pos
sessing four or fiv husbands apiece.
All the rough tasks and mental labors
are assigned to the hill men, and
mere man. is of small account be-
| side these Himalayan amazons.
On rough estimate it is declared
that 100000 square miles, or one
eighth of the total land surface of the
world, are awaiting to be discovered
Some 100000 of this lies in the Artic
regions of the north, but among the
frozen tracts that form "antartics" in
! the south, where Scott and his gallant
followers were penetrating, nearly g.
j 100000 square miles are relegated to
the sole use Of the whale, penguin, AMI
other animals and birds of the frozen
zone.
In Arabia it seems that there is
tract of land unexplored which IS
nearly five times as large as Great
Britain. Probably there is no more
desolate waste to be found in the en-
tire globe than that which is called the
dwelling of the void" Not a single
river is estimated to flow throughout
its entire 100000 square miles.
Although the famous FL Dorado

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
EFFECTIVE

Practical results are being achieved
in the efforts being made by Mr. David
Wicker in Sumter county as agent TO.
the farm demonstration work of the
United States Government These re.
suits are such that every farmer in
Sumter county should know of then
and should profit by them.
Last week The Times-Recorder told
of the growing of four acres of prize
wheat on the McGarrah place on the
Friendship road. This wheat was ex-
ceptionally fine 1t must have been
about six feet tall on the average, as
the sample brought to The Times-Ro-
corder Office was nearly six feet tall
after it had been cut.
1t should do any farmers heart good
10 look at such wheat as that of Mr..
McGarrahs. 1t was the result of prac-
teal cooperation between Mr.. Nc
Garrah and the government farm de-
monstration agent The results OBJ
tanned fully justify the statement that
practically every farmer in Sumter
county may profit by the guidance al
forded by the farm demonstration
agents, if they will do so.
A few acres of wheat such
as that grown by Mr.. Nc
Garrah means enough flour to
last a farmer and his family until
harvest season again. If it is properly
ground, it will afford the most nutri-
tious flour that can be obtained, not
-four from which all the most vital and
life-giving elements have been remov-
ed but flour that is rich with nutritive
elements. 1t is such flour that has Z
rich, nutty flavor and gives to the body
the very elements that are needed for
bone, flesh and brain-building.
1t is to be regretted that every
farmer in Sumter county who has the
available land does not plant a few
acres in wheat This would probably
include nearly every farmer in thu
county What more staple product
can farmer grow than the bread to
nourish himself and his family? Yet
the number of farmers who do this are
few There should be more.

Lea. The paper bristles with balanc-
ed American and Japanese battleships,
cruisers, broadsides, transports, ana
transoceanic distances.
A detailed examination of Homer
Lea's figures is beyond our space linn
itations. For the moment one state
ment is enough. w are assured that
Japan at the present moment has 40
steamers which can make the voyage
across the Pacific in % days, carrying
an army of $4,000 men. We are con-
sequently asked to hold fast to the pic
ture of that number Japanese troops
leaving Yokohama and within month
comfortably installed in San Francisco.
AS against Homer Lea, history rec
ords that in 1904 it took Gen KuroM
nearly three months to bring 10000
men across the Korean Straits, 115
miles wide, and march them up less
than 300 miles to the Yalu Also, I
took Gen. Oku three weeks to disem-
bark four army divisions on the Lao
tung peninsula. Whether the United
States or Japan is ever to acquire
mastery of the Pacific, time will show,
but it is undeniable that this big cool
natured ocean has already been mas
tered by the military expert, armed
with a pencil and a piece of paper.

LEADING IN AUTOMOBILES

The recently published statistics to
the effect that Georgia leads by almost
twice as many any other state in the
South in regard to the number of au-
tomobiles owned by its citizens should
be taken to mean progress. 1t is true
that oftentimes the sheriff has better
claim to an automobile than the OWL
er, but let us hope that this is not true
of the automobiles in Georgia. AS the
Atlanta Journal says:
According to records recently COM
piled by the Southern Press Clipping
Bureau, Georgia has nearly twice as
many automobiles as any other state
in the Souta and, furthermore, its in
crease in this regard has been far
greater during the past year than that
of any OF its neighboring common
wealths Only nine Southern States,
it seems, require state registration OF
motor vehicles but these suffice to
to make the comparison fair one
and to remove any doubt of Georgia :
leadership in the entire section.
The figures in detail are so interest
ing as to be worthy of reproduction in
the following table, which shows the
number of automobiles owned in
each of the given states both this year
up to May the first, and in 1912
Georgia, BOOTS; last year. $4,000.
Tennessee, 1925; last year, 1881.
Florida, 1878; last year, 1896.

may be variously interpreted. To some
minds, the remarkable increase in au.
tomobiles suggests abundant prosper
ity, to others short-sighted extrava.

SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS
WHY NOT YOU ?

The Editor of the Cotton
and Cotton Oil News, of
Dallas, Texas, states in his
paper that he knows of a
farmer who sold ten bales
of certified cotton to the
Southern States Cotton Cor
pOration when cotton was
12c. He received $45 cash
per bale and $50 in script.
He was offered 75c on the
dollar for his script, took it
and thus received $3.50 per
bale for his cotton, or 81 so
per bale more than the mar
ket price less 81 per bale for
certification, or a net profit
over his neighborS who
sold by the old system of
$4,000. We wish to say
that no one connected with
the corporation is permitted
to dis count script at any
time. What those who hold
scrip wish to do with it is
a matter entirely beyond
the control of the corpora
ton. Mr.. Farmer, don't
delay seeing the represen-
tatives of the Southern
States Cotton Corporation
in your county. List your
cotton at once.

| thousand to more than twenty thous-
and within a twelvemonth. Extrava-
gance might lead limited class Of
individuals to folly but it would not
infect so many thousands To con-
siderable extent, therefore, auto
mobile may be regarded as token of
good times in Georgia.
OF chief interest and Importance,
however, is the relationship between
motor cars and good roads. That the
automobile has been a quickening and
constructive influence for highway ex-
tension and improvement, there can be
no doubt. 1t not only created a new
necessity for better roads but it has
continually emphasized that necessity
in the public eye. 1t has furnished
fresh and definite ground of appeal
for the betterment and the increase of
highways,
This becomes evident when it is re-
membered that the great campaign for
good roads which. is now vigorously
astir the country over, dates only
from the past five or ten years, which
is the very period within which the
automobile came into widely popular
use. Long before that time, farmers
and merchants and the public gener-
ally were suffering because of poor or
insufficient roads and, as a matter of
theory. the priceless value of well
built and well kept highways was rec
Cgnized. But, Interestingly enough, il
was not until the advent of this new
type of vehicle, to which good roads
were indispensable, that any we'll and
widely organized movement for high
way development began.
The numerous good-road tours
which the automobile made possible
have served as nothing else could 10
arouse popular interest in this great
cause and also to organize public en-
deavor in its behalf. The building OF
the Journal-Herald National Highway
from New York to Atlanta, and its
subsequent extension to Jacksonville
is a striking instance in point. From
the first expedition of pathinders r
the last browning tour, the automobile
was the chief instrument and the
mainstay of that far-reaching enter
prise.
And so in every campaign to arouse
counties or states to the importance o!
good roads and to unite them in effec-
tive efforts, the automobile has been
invaluable.
