for the year amounted to $10,87447
while the receipts and the value of
the permanent Improvements amount
to $13,321.S3, leaving net earnings for
the years operations $2,246.36
The whole farm consists of $50
acres. The area devoted to crops in
1912 was 1893 acres not including
pastures. OF the 1893 acres so were
devoted to cow peas and sorghum for
hay, IS acres to peas and soy beans
for soil improvement, 65 acres to oats
grain, 40 acres to vetch and crimson
clover for soil improvement, Is acres
to cotton, 40 acres to corn for grain
and As acres to corn and sorghum for
silage. Each year an added area of
the farm will be improved and placed
under permanent cultivation. Mean
while the fertility of cultivated acre
age will be built up. The farm is,
therefore, in fair way to increase the
returns each year
This is the way the College of Agri.
culture is pract'cing what it breaches.
The farm referred to is the College
farm. What has been accomplished
is an example of what can be done
on thousands of worn-out farms of
Georgia, by use of modern, scientific
methods of agriculture.

A worn-out farm OF rolling and
washed land, in 1908, yielded an in
come of $2,757.24. BY following the
plans outlined by the College of Ag-
ricu.ture the income was increased
to $S,5S1.40 in 1912 Good judges of
the increased value of the farm for
agricultural purposes claim that the
enhancement in this respect has been
at least $4,000 Starting with practi-
cally nothing in the way of live stock,
a herd of cattle has been developed
that is worth about Slopes.
The record of this farm has been
kept in a thoroughly business-like
way, as will be revealed by the fol.
lowing items of receipts and expendi'

WILSON SELECTS
SUMNER HOME IN
new ENGLAND
THAT OF WINSTON CHURCHILL
Will Be Designated The Sum-
mGr Capital

Cornish, n. H., March 31.-President
Woodrow Wilson has chosen the home
of Winston Churchill, the novelist, to
be his summer capital, according to d
telegram received here today from Mr..
Churchill, who is now in Santa Bar
mara, Cal. The message was directed
to E. F. Roberts, manager of the
Churchill estate, and containing IN
structions for getting the place il
readiness for the presidents occu-
pancy.
Harlakendensen House, as the
Churchill property is known, is two
story brick structure situated on a
hill three miles beyond Windsor, VI
II commands a view of the Connecticut
river valley and of the Green noun
tains
Between 900 and 700 acres of rolling
farm land and fragrant pine groves
give the estate the seclusion the presi-
dent desires. Nearby is an artist col
ony, where Maxtield Parrish, Kenyon
Cox and others, come during the sum-
mer, and where the late Augustus St.
Gaudens, the sculptor, spent many va
cations.
On the estate are two seven-room
cottages, where the executive offices
can be established and where the pres
ident's attendants may live. A tennis
court adiourns the mansion house and
at the foot of the hill the Connecticut
river offers opportunity for boating.
Manager Roberts said two men were
looking at the place a week ago, but
he did not know whom they were act
ing for until he received the telegram
today from Mr.. Churchill.

The Smart Model is Carried

A fascinating new rig shows one of
the clever amalgamations in which Pa

see two distinct styles, modified, Or
rather modernized, to suit the figure
of the moment.

ton of the. bodice. The large roses
woven at regular intervals are in Q
darker shade than the plain material.
This color scheme has been combin-
ed in two tints of green. The same
dark note of the roses is repeated in
the waistband and in the long feather

toque.

SHOOTING AFFRAY
Husband Shot at WifG'S Com.
paniOn

Dublin, Ca, March 31.-Dave No
bles, of this city, was shot three times
in an affray near this city Sunday af-
ternoon, caused, it is said, by jealousy
due to the attentions of man by the
name of George McCord to Mobiles
wife, from whom he is separated, and
who was present at the time the shoot
ing occurred.
Mobiles and his wif2 have been sepa-
rated for some time and she is at pres
ent suing him for divorce. He has
been much wrought up over the mat
ter and Sunday afternoon saw his wife
with McCord and several others leave
the city in an automobile
He hired a car and followed them.
Meeting them about two miles from
Dublin, returning to the city, Mobiles
told the man driving his car to stop,
He then jumped out on the ground
waving his pistol at the seat in the
car containing his wife and McCord
The car was stopped and both No
bles and McCord began shooting which
one shooting first is not known. Me
Cord was not hit, but Mobiles was hi

hand, another his shoulder and third
going near his groin, but he is net

Besides McCord and Mrs. Mobiles, DR..

sister-in-law, Miss Russell, both o:
Dublin, were in the car. Mobiles was
brought to the city and given medical
attention. He has every chance to get

TRAINMEN GET INCREASE
ARBITRATION BOARDS FINDINGS
ARE SATISFACTORY.
Controversy, Which Threatened to
Tie Up All Traffic East of Mis-

New York, Nov. 12.-Though they
received only about one-half the wage
increases demanded, trainmen on
eastern railroads are well pleased
with the finding of the arbitration
board One of the chief points de-
cided in their favor, which is looked
upon as a distinct triumph, is the de-
mand for time and one-half for over
time work.
The arbitration board, while admit
ting that the increased cost of living
was a basic reason for the award, de-
MED that it's action was determined
entirely by this.
The employers are granted an in
crease in wages averaging per cent
and totaling $6,000,O00 annually, from
Oct. l last, effective for one year. One
hundred thousand men will share in
the increase.
The award ends controversy
