SWEEPING KINGS.
MARKET Value S4OO PER TON
Estimated At The Lowest Possible
Figure That the Crops Will Yield
$500 per Aore-One crop Worth
$11,cCo or $4,000.

The freezing out of the wheat GRO
last winter put many a Maury count,
farmer to thinking. The most of til,
farmers who lost their wheat put tn
land either in corn or peas, or sol;
BEANS but some went the potato
route, while others took differen
courses, and some planted every kin(
OF product that could be grown in this
section of the country, and that prac
tically embraces every kind of grair
and provender that can be grown any
where in this great world.
Col. Ed Armstrong, Jack Grankbery
and Col. William M. Cheairs, three OF
the most progressive farmers of the
county, have practically tried every
thing. All three of these farmers
planted large acreages of potatoes,
and made good yields and secured
good profits from their crops, but pos.
sibly the most profitable crop they
planted outside of their corn crop, is
being harvested now.
Col. Armstrong and Mr. CRANBERRY
put in fifty-five acres of broom corn,
and Col. Cheairs did likewise, putting
in fifty-five acres. This crop is now
being harvested and will average, &C.
cording to the very best estimates, a
half tone or more to the acre. The
present price of the corn after it has
been thoroughly cured and the seed
threshed off, is $4,000 per ton.
AT half ton per acre, Col, Cheairs
will make 27k tons and at the pres.
ent price of $500 per ton he will re-
ceive $1,000 and the seed threshed
will be fed to hogs, which is pro.
nounced as good feed as sorghum
seed.
Col. Armstrong and Mr.. CRANBERRY
have the same amount of land in corn
and will make equally as good crop
If not better than Mr. Cheairs. These
are figuring on receiving at
least $4,000 for their crop.
Now as soon as this corn is tabled. |

TODAY'S POEM

A CONSIDERATION

Not of the princes and prelates with
periwigged Carioteers
Riding triumphantly laurelled to lap
the fat of the years.
Rather the scorned-the rejected
the men hemmed in with tho
spears;
The men of the tattered battalion
which fights till it dies,
Dazed with the dust OF battle, the
din and the cries,
The men with the broken heads and
the broken heads and the blood
running into their eyes.
Not the be-medalled commander, be-
loved of the throne,
Riding cock-horse to parade when
the bugles are blown,
But the lads who carried the koppie
and cannot be known,
Not the ruler for me, but the ranker,
the tramp of the road,
The slave with the sack on his shoul-
ders pricked on with the goad,
The man with too weighty a burden.
too weary load.
The sailor, the stoker Of steamers, the
man with the clout,
The chantryman bent at the halliards
putting a tune to the shout,
The drowsy man at the wheel and
the tired lookout
Amen.

Suffrage Appeals
For Agricultural
Recruits to Train

| News from Suffrage Headquarters.
| The first term of the Suffrage
Camp Farming School at Greenwich
will open on May LIST, and it is inn
portant that the women who intend
| to avail themselves of this remark
able opportunity to train for agricul-
tural work should at once send in
their names to Miss Ruutz Rees,
either at Suffrage Headquarters,
Hartford, or at Rosemary Hall,
Greenwich. The farm school is to
be carried on on a farm belonging to
Miss Ruutz and Miss Ryan, who have
generously devoted this property to
the purpose. The object of the school
is to give practical course in farm
| ing which will begin with the pre-
pairing of the ground planting, car
ing for, gathering in and marketing
of crops and garden produce. The
women will also be able 10 learn hoV
to feed handle and milk cattle. Prac-
teal camp cooking for number will
also be taught and demonstrated as
will also canning and preserving OF
fruits and vegetables.
The land, camp outfit and instruc-
ton are all supplied by Miss Ruutz
Rees and Miss Ryan, free Of charge.
The students are expected to supply
their own bedding towels, and indivi-
dual small tools The cost of board
and the share of the cost if tilling,
fertilizing, seeding and transportation
of produce which will be from 81 to
$40, be partially betrayed if neces-
sary out of the value of the produce.
If each student can defray these costs,
the produce will be sold for the bene-
fit of Suffrage War Work. There will
be a second course of eight weeks
later in the summer at a date con-
venient for college students who are
not yet at liberty to join the suffrage
camp farming school.

for the reason that unless the women
are organized for this at once, the

that he means to STOW her he Is IN
terested in her If a girl is employed
in an office where her employer is a
single man and he extends the cour-
tesy to her of seeing her, home under
his umbrella now and then she nat
.ters herself into the belief that he has
fallen in love with her. The merchant
as well as the clerk has the same
problem to face. The young doctor is

There are some women who take all

earnest. If a man tells such a woman
he is delighted to make her acquaint-
ance those words and the way he said
them linger in her memory. She de-
ludes herself into believing that she
has met the right one. She picks up
his every careless word and strings
them on the thread of hope. It is a
sweet JOY to many a woman to i'm
agine there is some one particular
man in love with her. It's better to
be possessed with this delusion than
to imagine herself unattractive and.
that no one in the wide world cares
for her. 1t is better to base her hopes
on a number than to have one only in
vitw.
Not in loves realm alone do wo-
mems decisions carry them It takes
long years and many Of them grad
ually to dissolve this persistent fancy.
The woman who has been a successful
coquette in her youthful days is the
last one to realize when she has faded
out OF that role into another. There
are women, too, who believe them
selves cIeverer than their associates or
more OF genius.
Tt is hard for the great star who has
smiled and bowed to multitudes to
imagine that she is being ousted from
her popularity by the younger, pref
tier woman by her side to whom the
applause has in reality been given.
