Fl. There is good demand.
Will Grow More Wheat

A big acreage of wheat is go
ing to be planted in that county
this year. A good acreage was
planted last year and such salts
factory results were obtained
that the farmers are going to-
plant ) and 10 acres each this year
where they had small patches last
year.
Summing it all up, Mr.. Love
lace said:
while the peanut industry
looks good, it is only an expert
ment SO far. However, we know
that there is money in hogs, as
Our county marketed $4,000
worth last season. The farmers
can sell hogs for cash at any
time. He said that the farmers
of that county were we'll satisfied
with hog raising, as they had re-
ceived good prices, competition
being created between the Moul-
trle packing house and a PAGING
house in Alabama.
Mr.. Lovelace said it was hard
for him to understand why there
should be syrup famine i9a SCI
ton that could grow sugar carlA
as easily as southeast Alabama.
and Southwest Georgia He he
lieves there is money growing
sugar cane to make into syrup,
provided good product is plac-
ed on the market.

STAR OF "WOMANS FIGHT"
CAN FIGHT

Geraldine O'Brien, the Broad
way favorite who stars in "a Wo-
mans Fight" the Pathe Gold
Rooster Play at the Grand Thea
tire on Tuesday, has stamina,
nerve and-a punch! The pic
ture proves it.
Except in the prize6ght films
that the law forbids nowadays,
there is nowhere on the screen
such an exhibition of fstic Prov
ess as Miss O'Brien displays in a
certain scene in "a Woman's
Fight" Admirers who know
Miss O'Brien as a gentle stage ia
vorite, cannot have suspected that
she was SO handy with her mits."
Beyond a doubt this usually pas
sive young woman went into
special training for the picture.
Miss O'Brien plays factory
worker who decides to take the
part of another factory girl. The
latter is brawny and a friend of
the boss. That makes no differ
ence to Miss O'Brien, who won't
have her little friend eternally
abused. She Gland on the boss's
friend. The friend launches a
counter offensive. Miss O'Brien
meets it. Right here you guess
that the young woman had been
in training.
Herbert Blache, who produced
this Gold Rooster, stopped di-
recting in the excitement-and
for fear that the police would
stop the bout and arrest the
manager"
Rumor even hath it that as the
fight waxed hot, bets were plac-
ed on the outcome by studioites-
from a safe eIstance-who
thought the scrap was real.

HOGS, PEANUTS, VELVET
BEANS GROWN AS
MONEY CROPS


blnlng peanuts, hogs, velvet beans
and cattle with cotton, the farm
ers in Geneva county, Alabama,
are going to market farm prod
ucts equivalent to a fairly good
cotton crop this fall. This is a
feature statement of an interest
ing interview given a Herald re-
porter yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. K. f. Lovelace, of Hartford,
Ala, who was in the city today.
Mr.. Lovelace is a prominent
farmer and merchant of Hart
ford, and a member of the board
OF county commissioners of Ge-
neya county. That section of
Alabama is now passing through
Its second year of the boil weevil
and the experience of the farm
ers there will be of interest to the
farmers here, as this section will
have its second season of the boil
WecVll next year.
Mr.. Lovelace said that throuoh
his own observation and experi-
ence and by talking to others he
was brought to the conclusion
that the small quantity of cotton,
with the hogs, peanuts and velvet
beans that would be marketed be-
tore January l, would bring &C.
neva county as much money as =
fairly good cotton crop.
Peanuts Do Very Well
The farmers in Geneva county
tried out peanuts last year and
mad good success. This year thew
went into the business on a larg-
er scale and are now harvestino
their peanuts. Mr.. Lovelace saws
the average yield is so bushels to
the acre, where the peanuts are
well cared for and fortified. The
OH mills are paying rs cents a
oushel TOR the white Spanish, 60
cents a bushel for the red Span
ism and ~ cents bushel for the
running peanut. The peanuts are
picked by men in that business
lor ~ cents bushel and the vines
are Daled for 10 cents a bale. Mr.,
Lovelace said the hay from an
acre OF peanuts would pay for the
cultivation and fertilizer, leaving
the price received for the peanuts
as clear profit. {Ie knew of one
man who had .65 acres and had
pee oeen offered $1,000 for the crop in
the held. but had refused. This
man ma estimates his yield at over
oO bushels to the acre,
Mr.. Lovelace has a 12O-acre
farm and has 100 hogs on this,
which he expects to fatten and
market for $1,000. He has ten
acres of cotton to the pillow, but
expects only two bales to the
PoO"' Oile FARMER, who planted
loo acres in cotton, will not pet
more than 7 bales. Another had
81 acres and the weevil got ali
except 300 pounds.
The farmers in that county,
were fighting the weevil hard
said Mr.. Love1ace, but when the
heavy rains came it whipped
them. They could not get into the
fields for thirty days and the wee
wills increased in such numbers
that they could not be overcome,
Mr.. Lovelace believes that sue
cess in farming under weevil con-
dltlons will come by the farmers
raising hogs, peanuts, corn, sug-
ar cane, velvet beans and cattle.
Cattle raising, he considers, re-
CURES too great an outlay from
the start to prove a success with
the small farmers.
He says crop of velvet beans
is worth 200 pounds of gua1o to
the acre, in the effect it will have
on the next crop. Farmers in
Geneva county grow velvet beans
for the market, selling them for
$50 ton in the hull, or 81 bu-

THE PROPAGANDA FAILURE

From the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
A Greek newspaper asserts that the
Germans have spent s47,Oo0,0o on for
eign press propaganda during the last
two years, and that of this sum about
$40, 900, 1000 was disbursed through the
Dernburg-Albert agency in New York
There is no means of knowing whether
these figures are correct or not. But 1t
is certain that the German government
made large effort to influence public
opinion in this country, and that the
attempt was, on the whole, failure.
Now that the stage of controversial
heat is passed, it is easy to see the
weak points in the German publicity
campaign. The German agents did not
play fairly with US. They pretended to
disclose to us the truth about Eu-
ropean politics. What they really did
was to try to force upon US the Prus-
sian point of view. When we declined
to accept their statements and showed
a disposition to think for ourselves
they roundly abused us. When we
asked for definite information about
Germany, they replied with violent
TRADE against England. The anger of
all concerned was aroused, and where
there should have been calm discus
sion there were reproaches and sneers
Chiefly through information gained
from non German sources, Americans
now know more about Germany, and
have l1indlier feeling for that coun-
try. They know that the Germans, as
people, are patient. unselfish and
willing to work hard and make great
sacrifices. There is no reason to doubt
waging defensive war. No people
could try so hard in a bad cause.
1t is true that most Americans still
firmly believe that the Kaiser has mis-
led his subjects, and is cruelty prolong-
ing a losing fight in the hope to save
his dynasty from disgrace. But that
opinion is our own-not English or
French. It was the duty of the Ger
man propagandists to give us facts,
not to accuse us of being the tools of
England If they had spared us these
unjust reproaches, there would have
been little or no bad feeling, and we
should have avoided the very unfor-
tunate and uncalled-for controversy re-
garding "hyphenated Americanism."
