PEANUTS GAIN IN
POPULARITY HERE
LARGE ACREAGE ON ALL CRISP
COUNTY FARMS. MACHINERY
FOR PICKING is BEING STUD
led.

Peanut growing for marketing pur-
poses has become an established in
dustry in Crisp county. This crop is
a chief product of diversified farm
ing by which the farmers hope to save
themselves from the disastrous effect
of the boil weevil.
Every farmer, and that includes
practically the entire class in the
county, has planted, or arranged for
planting, an extensive acreage in pea
nuts this season. Sum total thous-
ands of acres of Crisp lands will be
planted to peanuts, and that will mean
thousands of bushels for the market.
The local oil mills have arranged to
take care of the entire output. There
will be a ready market at good prices.
The extensive growth of this crop
has led the farmers to seek improved
machinery for cultivating and gather
ing peanuts. On account of the de-
mand for this machinery, George Nor
ris, who is a member of the Palmer
Jones company, has been spending
some days in the peanut fields of Ala
bang, ascertaining the most modern
and successful types of machinery in
use in the boil weeyil district of that
state. The concern expects to provide
all machinery needed for the success
full production Of the crop, and to en-
courage the growing Of peanuts SO
far as possible.

CHILD SUFFERS A
PECULIAR ACCIDENT
LARYNx, OR ADAMS APPLE, is
FRACTURED AND AIR Soaps
UNDER TISSUES IN BODY CAUS-
ING ENORMOUS SWELLING
SILVER TUBE INSERTED IN
NECK.

Bonney Harrison, S-year-old son of
DR.. Harrison Of Sycamore happened to
an extraordinary accident several days
ago, when a severe blow from base
ball bat on the neck ruptured his
larynx or Adams apple. If he had not
been given medical attention his in
Jury would have resulted fatally in a
few hours.
The larynx is the beginning of the
windpipe, and the air drawn through
the windpipe began to seap into the
tissues of the neck, chest and body,
causing an enormous swelling of the
parts effected The condition produc-
cd is described by physicians as EN-.
physema.
The child's condition gradually grew
worse, and DR.. Harrison rushed him
to the local sanatorium by automobile.
When an operation was performed the
child's respiration was very low. An
ouening was made in the windpipe and
a silver tube inserted, through which
the patient broths. The larynx was
placed in it's normal position, and when
II heals the silver tube will be remov-
ed the opening made in the windpipe
Aradually closing.
sThe child was attending school and
at recess was watching number OF
children playing ball, standing near the
batter's box. When the batter struck
at the ball, the bat slipped from his
hands the end striking the Harrison
child on the neck.

COMPLETE RECORD OF ALL
WORK DONE AND THE YIELDS.

Seymour Byron, of Byromville, was
in Cordele last week attending to bus

pertinent station which Mr.. Byron re-
Gently secured for Crisp county and
which will be located on the Byron
farm at Daphne, he said:
81 know from the experience that
we have had with the experiment
station located on our farms at By
romville for the past five years, that,
the work carried on under the super
vision of the state college OF agricul-
ture as these stations will prove Of
valuable service to the farmers of
Crisp county if they will simply take
advantage of this opportunity, inform
ing themselves as to the best results
obtained in growing cotton, corn and
other grain, the methods of fertiliz-
ing and preparation Of the Soils"
There will be three acres in the
farm and cotton, corn and some other
grain crops will be planted each year,
each crop having one acre reserved
for it, and a system Of rotation will
be followed out, corn following after
cotton, and some other grain after
corn, and so on continuously from
year to year. Each of the three acres
will be divided into twenty equal
parts and each fractional part of this
acre will be fortified differently. In
other words, there will be twenty diff
ferent fertilizers and mixtures of fer
tilizers on the one acre. In some in
stances different methods Of prepar-
ing the soil will be observed in order
to obtain the most satisfactory meth
I'D.
The farm will be established on the
direct road leading to Daphne. An ex-
pert from the state college of agri-
culture will supervise the preparation
of the soil, planting ETC., and will
keep complete record of the seed
planted, the manner of fertilizing,
yields, etc.

O.D.TIME FIDDLERS
TO ASSEMBLE HERE
PROF. A. v. POOLE, the oNE-ARM-
ED FIDDLER, ARRANGING FOR
THE EVENT WHICH Is TO BE
GIVEN UNDER THE AUSPICES
OF THE LOCAL CHAPTER U. o. C.

Cordele is going to have an old
time fiddlerS' convention and it GER
tainly will be a lively affair, bringing
scores of fddlers from the surround
ing section, for there are a large num-
Der available who are real artists with
the fiddle, aud, as we'll one of the
largest gatherings to witness the event
ever assembled here, because fiddlers
conventions always attract large
crowds.
Prof A. V. Poole, OF Oxford, known
in this and other states as the one
armed fiddler, has arrived in Cordele
to arrange for the convention here.
The entertainment will be given I'M
der the auspices of the Tallulah At
kins chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the Crisp county
camp No. 1914 United Confederate Vet
Grams will be the beneficiaries of the
proceeds from the convention. Prof.
Poole is a Confeerate veteran him
self, (not an old vet, he says. because
he feels like a 16 year old.) AS well
as being a fiddler, he is finished dan
Ger of the old school, and to see him
cut the steps which he will do at the
Cordele fiddlers' convention, one would
think he felt quite young. He pro-
poses to make the convention of ben
eft to the local camp of veterans in
sending a good delegation to the Con-
federate reunion at Washington, d. c..
Prof Poole organized the 1913 fid-
dlers convention in Atlanta, and last
year he captured first prize for the
best dancer at the convention in that
city. Aside from the fiddling, there
will be dancing by the veterans and
others as we'll as number Of other
entertaining features. All of the
Confederate soldiers and their wives
will be admitted free.
The date has not yet been arranged
though it will be held some time in the
near future. Prof Poole will enlist as
many old-time fiddlers as possible in
the contest, securing them from Crisp
and adjoining counties.
Everybody can rest assured that
this is going to be "fddling" good
time. If all the crowd cannot see the
performance on the first night sec
ond performance will be held on the
night following.
