Truck gardening araund Macon last
year proved a failure, due principally
to the drouth. A large acreage was
planted in cabbage, but they failed to
develop and what was sold was at a
poor price. Mr.. w. E. Stennis planted
about a half acre in cabbage this year,
early in January, and the sample sent
to the BEACON office this week was a
fine specimen and better than any we
have een shipped in this spring. Cot
ton is the only thing planted in this
country will return to after making a
failure.

circuit judge in Uncle Joe Cannon's
home town. He expresses himself as
being much pleased with his visit to the

and its prospects, but coming from a
section that is highly developed agri-
culturally, he recognizes that there is
much room for improvement.
Mr.. H. b. Gurler returned this week
from California, where he has, in COM

He says it is a wonderful show, but
does not come up in magnitude to the
Chicago or st. Louis expositions. The
foreign exhibits have been cut off by
world-war. Japan is the only country
that has an exhibit that is superior to
that shown in the aforementioned ex-
positions. Mr.. Gurler STONED for a
short time at his old home in DeKalb,
Ill. to visit his children and is much
pleased at the improvement agricultur-
ally, that has taken place since he left.
