FARM DISPLAYS
SHOW WONDERS
Scores Of Products Of
Soil Shown-Poultry
Exhibit Splendid

In the farm products building at
the terminus of the Midway, are a
number of exhibits interesting and
educational, and here many visitors
pause in their rounds to view the
wonderful products of Sumter's soil.
1t is especially noticeable that Wis
itors from a distance prolong their
stay in this building, many Of them
commenting upon the splendid diver
sification of crops which has been
attained here. This building is dec
Grated throughout with the products
of Sumter's farms, wheat, oats,
rye, and sugar cane being the prin-
cipal ones used to make the long
room attractive. At the right on
entering is found the display of "Ad-
derton Place." the Smithwick farm.
This display is prepared by Henry
w. Smithwick, who is famous
throughout Georgia as a nut grower,
contains principally nuts, japanese
persimmons, large and luscious,
wheat, tobacco ,castorbeans, peppers,
English walnuts, chinquapins, chest
nuts and pomegranates, all grown
within the city limits of Americas.
An illustration which forms part
of this splendid exhibit portrays "a
stately tree near the Smthwick home,
upon which fourteen varieties OF
hickory nuts and pecans are annual
ly produced, a bowl filled with its
varied products being at the base OF
the illustration.
81 Varieties of Pecans.
In the SmithWick display are
shown 81 varieties of pecans, which
is distinct novelty, since there are
only recognized commercial vari-
cites. A new nut, which has not
been named, a hybrid cross between
a pecan and hickory nut, is also
shown. Mr.. Smithwick received d
young tree of this cross from the
government sometime age and 1t
bore three nuts this year, its first.
1t shows promise of commercially
attractive variety. Other nuts
shown. grown on the same farm, are
English walnuts and Paragon chest
nuts Under a sketch of the famous
Smithwick hickory trees are shown
specimens of Ia varieties of pecan
and one of hickory nuts all grown
on the same tree.
About the sides of the exhibits
are cutting of japanese bamboo,
which is now being grown by Mr..
Smithwick for poles for use in gath
ering nuts. 1t is the indentical bam-
boo from which the well known fish
ing poles are obtained, and is being
successfully developed on the Smith
wick place.
The display includes hides of two
alligators captured on Muckalee, on
the Smithwick place, one of them
beautifully tanned, handsome black
walnut table made by. Mr.. Smith

}. Webb, of Sumter, covers general
farm products, with a liberal guam
ity of exceptionally large pecans,
having prominent part. Pomegran-
ates, Georgia cane syrup lettuce,
and other products serve to make
the Webb exhibit attractive.
Among the products of the Webb
farm shown are kershaws, pumpkins,
egg plant, collards, tomatoes, head
lettuce, squash, radishes, turnips,
beets, snap beans, onions, peanuts,
peas, can and can syrup, potatoes,
corn and corn meal, wheat, oats, rye,
flour, country cured hams (blue rib
bon) peppers, pomegranates, and
many kinds of canned fruits and
vegetables.
The Mize Grocery Co., devotes
rina feed, which, although attractive,
has little variety, but illustrates his
interest in farming products Of the
county in which Mr. Mize lives.
An attractive display in this build
ing is that, of the Pines Dairy, con-

of native pine boughs decorate this
booth. concealing the walls of the
building, and converting it into
woodland bower of fragrant foliage.
Overhead the booth, well revealed to
the admiring gaze of the visitors to
this pretty mitch, is pine needle
background against which stands out
in bold relief "The Pines Dairy,
formed of white milk bottle seals
with alternating red and blue let
tering thereon. Here is shown a
splendid collection of products
grown by this enterprising young
farmer-dairyman Included in the
showing are sweet potatoes of mann
moth size, watermelons, canned
fruits, persimmons, corn, fresh vege-
tables, nuts, wheat, etc. A brush
broom which is shown demonstrates
conclusively that everything used on
this farm-dairv is produced at home.
A milking machine used by the dairy
is also shown.
Hay and Grain.
The whole side of this large build
ing is occupied by tons of appetlz-
ing peavine hay and forage of other
varieties, all baled according to COM
mercial standard, illustrating the
best methods in preparing these
farm products for shipment as well
as for winter storage. Sheaves OF
golden wheat interspersed with rye,
oats and other small grains, decorate
the wall of this building, while guam
titles of green and red sugar cane
festooned about the supporting pill
lars make the scene there a most at
tractive one. That all the kershaws
and pumpkins raised in Sumter coun-
ty were not used in Halloween cele-
bration is shown by perhaps a hun
dred unusually fine specimens on dis
Nov here.
Opposite the agricultural products

all visitors, while numerous pens of

Of all who see them. One pen of five

have failed. Woodrow Wilson gave n
pledge in his FIRST messaga-to congress
that he would try to secure the end OF
the convention system. Indeed. II was
his belief that the question OF one or
two terms could be best handled by the
people in a presidential preference pri-
mary. rather than at national conven-
lions.
His suggestion was that conventions
should meet merely to ratify the choice
OF the people in the primaries and to
write the party platform. Nothing came
OF the plan as the congressional COM
mittees before whom an attempt was
made to frame legislation. insisted that
such a law would be unconstitutional
as the constitution gives the several
states the right to determine the meth
ods by which their preference shall
be expressed.
Senator Johnson, however. win not let
the academic objection OF constitutional
difficulties dlssuade him. The usual an
swer that a constitutional amendment
Is needed brings no relief for II takes
generation to get a constitutional
amendment adopted.
