quantity of other cereals. The allied
countries have already reduced their

COST OF GROWING WHEAT.

Farm and Fireside.
Now that the government has fix
ed the price Of wheat, both for the
1917 and 1918 crops, the question of
actual cost of production becomes
more interesting than ever. What
is the average cost of producing an
acre of wheat? Is a price of approx
mately 81 a bushel too much? Let us
see. A few years ago the cost of
wheat was figured at from $1,000 to
$3.50 an acre, with few estimates
running above or below these figures.
That costs have greatly increased
since the beginning of the European
war all must admit.
In round numbers the cost of an
acre of wheat averaging Is bushels
is now $40, with the chances for still
greater cost in 1918.
Here are the figures showing acre
cost of wheat in a leading winter
wheat state: Man labor 1878 hours
at 10 cents an hour, 1892; horse la
Dor for 27.3 hours at liz cents an
hour, $3.14; interest at per cent.
on $40 land, $3.50; taxes, 25 cents;
upkeep, 30 cents; seed az bushels)
at 1925, 1897; use of machinery, 80
cents; / u pounds of Irvine at II

cents, 26 cents; threshing machine
hire at cents, rs cents; coal, Is
cents; marketing, 80 cents; fertilizer
$500. Total, $20.24.
That these figures are conservative
appears upon the closest and most
critical study. For instance, the first
item, that of man labor, is certainly
within reason. We very much doubt
if farm labor can be had at Is cents
an hour. The same conservatism APP
plies throughout, whether the item
be cost of Irvine, threshing bill, or
taxes on Land. Some may question
the wisdom of figuring in fertilizer
cost, as not all farmers use CONNER
cial fertilizers for wheat. This is
quite true, but all wheat takes plant
food from the soil.
A 15-bushel crop of wheat re-
moves, in the grain alone, 17.5
pounds nitrogen, 2.25 pounds of
phosphorus, and pounds of potas-
SUM. Buy these ingredients in the
form of commercial fertilizer and see
how much you will have left out of
Sd.
So with a 15-bushel crop next year,
and with a price of 50 a bushel, the
wheat grower may realize 1918 an
acre more than his wheat cost him,
provided he has no bad luck. On a
40-acre crop this is $500. This is less
than the price of a good team. Sure
ly it is not too much when we remem-
Der that the wheat grower takes his
chances against hail and storm, Hes
sian fly, and winter-killing.

for the table. Much thought is be-
ing given to the best way in which
may be conserved the surplus which
has been grown. Dawson has two
mills to convert the thousands of
bushels of corn, velvet beans, pea
nuts, ETC., into merchantable form
in the shape of foodstuffs. Other feed
feed mills have been put in different
parts of the county so that the farm
ers will not be without market
for their field products.
Stock Raising.
The matter of stock raising is re-
ceiving a large share of attention,
and the number of cows and hogs
has been increased by hundreds, the
aim of every farmer being the very
best breed obtainable. SO much for
the feeding of the body.
Facilities for improving the men
tai, moral and spiritual atmosphere
are no less in evidence. We doubt
if there is county in Georgia with
more substantial country homes than
Terrell. AS the farmer improves his
broad fields with the latest farm i'm
plements, so he is constantly adding
to the beauty and convenience of his
home and the pleasure of his family.
The great number of automobiles put
them in touch with all the cities have
to offer, and at the same time give
them the peace, prosperity and quiet
of country life. Back to the farm"

with promise for the years ahead.

Capitalism Accused
OF Starting the War

Here is another OF its phrases, IN
which il repeats an eyer-recurrlnG idea
that it seeks to establish in the minds
OF its readers by constant repetition:
From the moment on, when the
President and the government OF the
United States, upon the instigation
of the press and under the influence
of capitalism, started TO establish
militarism in this country"
On August q it developed the theory
OF rich mans war in the following
way:
"The contractors who are making
untold millions Of dollars now were
the first to demand that America
should go into the war. They made
every possible effort to see to il that
the United States should also partic-
pate in the blessings of war. Why
not? There is only profit for them
in war, while the bloodshed and sac
rifces will be furnished by the peo-
pie. The people make enormous sac
rifces and are even compelled 10
shed their blood, for the governments
are only train bearers of the rich.
Ard the newspapers are toadies OF
both. This company combined is the
mortal enemy of the working classes.
No wonder!

as a bulk, demand the war for the
simple reason that the various profits
OF the war make it possible for them
to get richer yet. These profits have

Autopsy on King
Dead 200 Years
Attempt Made to Clear the
Mystery in Death of
Charles XII of Sweden

ls.r Corr..pondencs Of The Associated Pr-sl
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 2l.-An autopsy
on King Charles XII, Sweden's warrior
king, killed in battle almost two hun
dred years ago, to determine whether
the shot through the temples which
caused his death came from the
enemy's lines or from an assassin
among his own men, has just been
made here in an effort TO clear up ore
of the mysteries OF history. II the
bullet entered the right temple, 1t
would indicate that il came from
Fredrkshald fortress, before which
the kings forces lay intrenched. while
shot from the opposite direction
would show that it was fired By a
traitor in his own ranks.
The scientists who are conductin g
. the investigation have not yet an
nounced their conclusions and will
not until they have made an effort TO
TT together the pieces OF bone taken
from the wound, but the indications
ere that the bullet entered the right
temple and came, therefore, from the
enemy. The wound on the right siie
is comparatively small, as if made 1y
an entering shot, while the left temple
was blown entirely away and the left
side Of the skull shattered. as would
be caused by the missile as it emerged.
The kings body was. examined in
the old Knights Church, where it lay
in a simple coffin. II was covered with
linen shroud, with the arms at the
sides, the fingers meeting across tire
waist, the hands incased in faded yell
low gloves. On the head was a laurel
wreath, placed there in January, l7l9,
the day he was buried Those who
viewed the dead king were struck by
his masterful countenance, still bear
ing through all the years the look OF
a leader OF men.
The wound, covered by patches o.
linen, was found to consist of a cleft
in the skull beginning at the Left
corner of the left eye and extending
at an angle Of about forty-tive degrees
upward TO the right for about three
inches. A triangular piece of bone
loosened by the bullet was still held
in place by the skin. II was marked
by deep depression.
According 10 contemporary accounts
of the kings death, he entered the
trenches the evening Of December IL,
1918, and went TO a point opposite
where the Danes had A battery. With
him were the engineer who had
planned the trenches and Siquier, the
kings aide-de-camp. As Charles lay
on the perapet of the trench, his head
and shoulders exposed. an enemy car
non fired a load of grspeshot and the
king fell dead.
No question that a grapeshot was
the cause OF his death ever arose until
a year later, when Siquer, while in a
dciirium Of fever, said that he had
murdered the king. When he recoy-
cred he was Mortified at his own
rawlings and denied until death that
he had killed the king. He died in
poverty.
yoltaire, who investigated the affair,
reached the conclusion that the fatal
shot could not have been fired b.
Siquier and must have been grape.
The murder theory, however, once
started, has persisted down TO the
present time

Stop at Nantucket

NANTUCKET, Mass, Sept. 19.-Pres-

Mayhower, paid a visit here to-day.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and his
daughter, Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, he ar
rived from New London during the
afternoon and was given cordial in
formal greeting.
AS news of his coming had preceded
him by a few hours, the entire popula-
ton Of the village, including the school
children. who had been given holiday
in honor of the occasion, welcomed
him at the landing.
The first TO meet him was Justice
John Fl. Clarke, of the United States
Supreme Court. and Immediately after
permanent residents and summer Wis
itors took advantage of the opportunity
to extend a welcome. There was little
formality and no speechmaking, but the
Secret Service men relaxed their strict
guard to some extent during the visit,
and many of the islanders were permit
ted to have neighborly chats with the
President undisturbed for short time.

and Mrs. Sayre were driven across the

family are spending the summer. As
