Buffalo Bill

BY III. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
THE other evening read in the newspaper that
Buffalo Bill was dying. AS read, the years
shpped away from me. L boy again,
a little kid in knee-breeches, eagerly listening
Whhe 1aVorlte uncle told me stories of the great
hero of the plains
could feel once more the thrill of those won
derful moments of storytelling Once more there
came before my minds eye wildly imagined pic
ture after picture of daring riding cautious scout
ing, clean fighting, and Buffalo Bill always de-
servedly victorious.
Instinctively l put him where he belonged in
the splendid company of Boone and Kenton,
Crockett and Carson. To me, all of these were
supermen. They summed up in high degree the
rugged virtues every man should possess
NOW Buffalo Bill has gone to join Boone and
You may be sure that they have given him fer
vent welcome, just as the comrades he left behind
gave him a loving farewell, with their simple
words "Good-by, Bill. Good-by, old pard'
Be sure, too that his will be enduring place
in the annals of American history. He a
maker of history as truly as any talented states
man or diplomat general.
Nor is it only in history that he will live. He
will live also he must live in the hearts and minds
for the people of the United States if ever they
cease TO cherish the memory of Buffalo Bill.
For this can only mean that chivalry, boldness,
energy initiative love of honorable achievement,
have weakened in the spirit of the nation. A
tion that is truly strong will always hold in proud
remembrance the rugged, virile heroes of its pio-
neering days.
1t is the same with nations as with individuals.
Everybody knows that a boy ashamed of his rough
have plenty of for being ashamed of himself.
To American parents, then l would say:
Tell your little son the story of Buffalo Bill.
Tell him the story of Boone and Kenton, of
Crockett and Carson. In imagination let him
der through the silent forests and across the vast
prairies with these brave pathfinders and nation
builders of the days that are done.
Make clear to your the manner of men the
pathfnders were Make clear to him the difficult
lies they had to overcome, the dangers that men
aced them, and the courage and hardihood they
showed in every emergency. Let their example
radiate upon him to strengthen his character
Remember that if your son is real boy he is GER
tain to hunger for tales of the early west. Don't
permit him to learn of the west merely from the
inane dad man-college hero-miraculous sheriff
pretty girl-stolen cattle-disputed mine or rail-
way stories with which the all-ction magazines Of
today piteously abound.
Tell him, instead, stories of real western heroes
Give him books wherein he can read these stories
for himself.
He will enjoy them twice as much as the ma
chine-made yarns. And they will be of true de-
velopmental value to him.

The WaycrOsS Canning Plant.

The announcement that plans soon will be per-
fected for the establishment of canning plant at
waycross marks another forward step in the i'm
LOrtant work OF providing home markets for
Georgia food products.
The WaycrOss enterprise is being promoted
with the foresight and business thoroughness for
which that community is known. 1t presumed
at the outset that the surrounding country would
produce enough raw material TO keep big canning
factory in steady and profitable operation. That
there might be missteps uncertainties how
ever, a careful crop surrey of Ware county and
neighbOring counties conducted. The results
confirmed the confidence of those who had pro-
posed the enterprise and drew adherents to its
support; for it was shown beyond question that a
canning industry will be we'll sustained by the
present truck output of the district and eventually
will increase that output many times This plant,
together with the hundred thousand dollar
packing house established at WaycrOss a few
months ago will mark epoch in the develop
ment of the town and the prosperity of the
rounding country.
There is no way to upbuild GeOrga's ma
teriaI interests than to provide convenient and
dependable markets for home grown foodstufs.
packing plant than canning plant The two
work well together for the good of rural and urban
interests alike. For lack Of canning plants, mil
lions of dollars worth OF vegetables and fruits are
wasted in Georgia, and other millions of dollars
worth which could be raised easily not planted
AS means both for economy and development, the
canning plant can play an important part in the
States welfare.

On a One-HOrSe Farm.

The Savannah Press directs merited attention
to plan which agricultural expert in AIabams
has devised for making a profit of five hundred
dollars in year a one-horse farm under boil
weevi conditions. The main directions lie o.
course, along the line of diversifcation and the
production of food necessaries But the peculiar
worth of the Alabamians counsel is in the fac
recommendations are:
Grow a garden sufficient TO supply the
table with vegetables every day in the year.
CThis may save you doctors bill.)
Keep'twenty-hve laying hens, provide am
pie feed OF the right kind and sanitary quar-
tiers. CThis will save grocery bill)
Keep two good milk cows, one giving milk
at the time, making it possible to supply the
table with milk and butter the year round.
CThis may save a doctors bill and a grocery
bin)
Keep two good brood sows, bringing two
litters of pigs each year. (This does away
with the lard bucketD
Provide ample pasture for the hogs and
cows the year round. This can be done by
planting bermuda grass, rye, OATS, rape,
sorghum, millet, ieldpeas, chufas peanuts and
velvet beans.
Grow half acre each in potatoes, sugar
cane and seeded ribbon cane This will fur
nsh the home with potatoes and syrup and
to sell.
Plant four acres in oats in the fall, of a
homegrown, rust-proof variety. This crop
should be followed by legume crop, peanuts,
feldpeas soy beans.
Plant twelve acres in corn, six and one
half foot rows, peanuts and velvet beans be-
tween the rows. II desired, the beans may
be planted in the drill with corn at the time of
planting.
Plant eight acres in peanuts, three-foot
rows running peahuts), twelve to sixteen
inches in drill. These are to be harvested for
the market.
To these excellent rules, he adds directions fol
planting and cultivating five of cotton, ar
early wilt-resistant variety, and he places partic
ular emphasis on the need OF busnesslike methods
in all departments of the farm. Five hundred dol
lars of clear profit on a one-horse farm despite the
boil weevil will be a remarkable achievement, but
it is none the less possible one, this practical
student of agriculture shows.

Quips and Quiddities

The visitor was being entertained by little Tommy.
MY fathers a mounted policeman" said the little
man, with al air of pride.
''Indeed?" smiled the visitor. "Is that much better
than being one of the policemen who walk?'
"'Corse it isl" snorted Tommy, with much contempt
at the lady's ignorance why, if there's any trouble
he can get away much quicker"
