Colquit Planting Big Crops

Moultrie, Mar. 28.-iThat Colquitt
county farmers are planning for big
crops is shown by figures given out
by dealers in commercial fertilizers
here. Sales are from forty to fifty
per cent greater than they were last
year, it is said. Delivery has been de-
layed in a number of cases by conges-
ton of traffic on the railroads, but
dealers believe that they will be able
to fill orders before the planting sea-
son is over. Considerable acreage
will be given to cotton around Moul-
trie, but farmers as a general propo-
sition will diversity their crops to a
greater extent than ever before, per
sons who study conditions on the
farms say.

Students Harvest Potatoes

In order to provide adequate help
for harvesting the immense crop of
potatoes in Flathead valley, arrange
ments have been made for the high
school students of Kalispe1l to go
to the potato fields and assist in pick
ing the spuds for the farmers. Ar
rangements have been made to give
the students a vacation in order to
assist the farmers and it is expected
that many growers will take advant-
age of the opportunity to get the
needed help.
There are approximately 5000
acres of potatoes In the valley with
many fields of from 20 to 100 acres
and a heavy yield is expected. While
digging has not started to any extent
it is expected that next week will see
the harvesting in full blast in prac-
tica1ly every section.
The big storage warehouse of the
Northwest Potato Exchange is prac-
tically complete and will be ready to
handle the crop as it Is harvested.

HEROIC ACT OF
ENGINEER MUTT
TRIED TO PULL TRAIN OUT OF
WAY OF RUNAWAY CARS
AND WAS KILLED
Had Partially Accomplished His Pur-
pose When Runaway Cars Struck
Rear End of Freight Train, killing
Six Men; Had No Time to Explain
to the Grew of the Freight.

Engineer e. A. Mutz, employed by
the Milwaukee road, was standing on
the station platform at Piedmont
when he became aware that a string
of runaway cars laden with gravel
was hurting down the track at a
terrific rate.
Time did not permit of his explain
ing to any of the crew of the freight
train that was standing in the way of
the onrushing runaway cars what
was impending nor what action it
would be we'll to take.
Instead, he sprang into the cab of
the engine attached to the freight
train and tried to pull the train to a
siding out of the way, SO that who
ever might be on that train would be
saved.
He had partially accomplished his
splendid purpose when the runaway
cars struck the rear end of the
freight train, resulting in a terrific
smash-up and the killing of six men,
among them Engineer MUTT, who was
struck on the head by an insulator
that was sent flying into the cab of
the engine.
These are the concise facts of how
Engineer Mutz came to his death.
And yet they are sufficient to show
the great heroism of which this gal
liant man was possessed.
His first thought was for the safe
ty of others.
To save those whom he knew to be
in great danger, he was willing, eager
to take a desperate chance.
