Topeka. Kan, Aug. 23.--Stories OF
sudden wealth in the Kansas wheat
belt are numerous this year, due tc
the unusual acreage of volunteer
wheat crop grown from seeds
which fall in the previous harvesting
Officially estimated there was 500 ,O0O
acres of volunteer wheat in Kansas
this year, or about a sixth Of the total
harvested acreage. This wheat yield
ed probably lO,000,000 bushels or rep
resenting monetary value of about
| $1OO,00O,O00. The total Kansas crop
of wheat is estimated officially at 15O,-
c00,O00 bushels.
The large acreage Of volunteer
wheat is due to the fact that a great
deal of this acreage was deserted as
wheat land by the owners, after last
years nCne too hountiful crop had
Decn harvested The 1919 acreage
was in excess of 100000, by far the
record for any state in the union A
wet fall caused the kernels of wheat
which had fallen to the ground during
the harvesting, to scrminatc.
Finding the volunteer" crop max
ing a stand, farmers did not disturb
the growth and, with wheat growing
weather this spring, the volunteer
wheat made yields fully as bountiful
as the rest OF the crop.

The restoration of Stonehenge has

There are indications that the entire
monument was surrounded by cir
Gle of at least 40 stones, not one Of
which remains today.
The office Of works, In conjunction
with the society of antiQuaries, is
overhauling the monument, replacing
the fallen stones and exploring the
site. Excavations have revealed SOCK
cts for q number Of stones that are
no longer in existence, but history
cannot account for their absence.
During the excavations q number
Of hammer stones, chsels and burnt
bones were found, also many articles

were found arc a problem in them

NEGRO BURNS AT STAKE,
FOR MURDER OF WOMAN
Hundreds of People Gather to Witness
Execution of Alleged Slayer
Lynching Party Moves Off in Or
der as Flames WorK.

Savannah, Ga, June 21.-Chased by
infuriated citizens, officers of three
counties and track hounds for the last
week, Philip Gathers, the negro
slayer of Miss ANA Jaudon near
Rincon, in Efiingham county ten days
ago, was captured this morning near
Stilson, in Bulloch county, returned to
the, scene of his Grim near Rincon
and lynched.
When the capture was effected and
it became known that the mob would
take the prisoner to Rincon to put
hi INTO death, the news spread over
adjoining counties and hundreds of
people reached the scene to witness
the execution.
The negro is said to have acknowl-
edged his guilt as he was being car
ried throug hthc country in an auto
mobile. Arriving at the point where
the body of his victim was found he
was chained to a saplng gasoline
poured over him and match applied.
AS the flames enveloped his body he
made powerful lungc, breaking away
from the tree. At that moment hun
dreds of shots were sent into his
body.
Gathers went to the home of Buck
Stevens, a negro, living near Stilson
this morning and asked for some
thing to eat. He was given food and
Stevens notified the authorities
Gathers was taken as he was making
for the woods.
The. crime charged to Gathers was
the brutal murder Of Miss ANA Jau-
don, II years of age, who had been
in Savannah with her sister and was
returning home for the weekend.
Finding no one at the station to meet
her, she started to walk the two miles
to her fathers house.
Her father telephoncd to Savannah
Monday to learn why she had not
come. Being told that she had taken
the train for home Friday search
was instituted. The body was found
in the woods near the road within
tive hundred yards of the home. The
throat and arms were bruised and the
skull crushed Tracks in the sand on
the roadside indicated struggle.
Gathers was missing from his home.
He had not been seen since Friday.
Circumstances pointed to his guilt. For

week he evaded posses, officers and
hounds, dodging out of swamps to
procure food and disappearing again.
The brutality of the crime and the
long continuous chase had so fren-
zied the people that there was but
scant hope that Gathers would ever
reach a Jail.
The crowd that witnessed and par
ticipated in the lynchinv dispersed
Immediately after the negro was
killed, many persons carrying with
thems ouvenirs. Late comcrs gath
cred about the place and discussed the
crime, chase and lynching, but there
was no disorder.

TOPPING TOBACCO

Clemson College, June 22.-Tobacco
under proper conditions grows very
rapidly and soon forms seed-pods that
have to be pinchcd out. This is called
topping AS uniform maturity is
/ desired, it is we'll to allow large
portion of the seed-buds to form, per-
maps now and then allowing one to
bloom, before commencing to pinch
them out. Experience is the only
teacher in this case, says r. E. Currin
in Extension Bulletin 43, Tobacco Cul-
ture in South Carolina. Taking every
thing into consideration. it is advis-
able to top "too high" rather than
too low.' In other words, it is best
70 leave too many leaves on the plant
70 mature than too few. On ord-
mary land, with ordinary fertiliza-
ton, form twelve to sixteen leaves
may be left. On richer or more
highly fcrtiizcd land, more leaves
should be left to mature.
After topping has commenced. i.
should be continued until all of the
plants arc topped; and. as the aim
Of topping is 70 get the tobacco to
mature uniformly, the small, yellow
and late plants should he topped
lower than the early AMI more Wig
orous ones.
AS soon rs topping is begun
suckers" will form in the axis Of
the leaves. These suckers must not
be allowed to develop. and must BE-
pulled off as fast rs they get large
enough, or else the tobacco plants
will be retarded in their full dcvcl-
opmcnt of leaves. 1t is surprising
how fast these suckers will grow
Generally from two to three suckers
will have to be removed from the
axil Of each. Keep them off.
