 "'We commenced digging the first of October and the government sent in an inspector-Dr. s. A. Thomas--to watch us. The tally was 847h bush els. As quality was also considered I'll give you the points on that: The hills averaged two and half pounds apiece; over seventy-fve per cent were No. grade and the rest were perfect seed potatoes. There was hardly one waste spud in the whole crop. Besides the premium of $75O, sold the No. 1 grades for $75O, keeping the seed spuds for myself. That gave me $1500 in cash and 200 bushels of choice seed returns from that acre-and that was on pre-war prices. 1 spent $120 on fertilizers. The seed had raised my selfs
 "Usually Chisholm has sixty or eighty acres in potatoes, but in 1919 he cut down to thirty-five; thirty in the main crop, Brown Beauties and Burbank Russets; and five acres in early varieties, Bliss Triumph and Early Ohio. That he is an unusually good grower is shown by the fact that he considers 400 bushels an acre only normally good crop. Anything less than that indicates something wrong and he investigates thoroughly for the cause."

GIRL TAKEN BY TWO MEN
 TOLD A WEIRD STORY

The discovery of young Leila Knox, who was being held in Gila county shack by two men by the names of Ivan Chapman and Warren Ponton, was brought about by her chum who made her escape from the shack. She found the sister of Miss Knox and told her of the plight her sister was in. The sister told the father, and with the sheriff's officials they went to the shack and found Leila Knox there with the two men. Both men claim they did not abuse the girls in any way, but the girls contradict these de- nials and tell stories of a wierd na- ture.

ATTY. GEN. JONES ILL
 AT SISTERS HOSPITAL

Broken down from nervous strain, Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has been under treatment and observation at St. Joseph's hospital for several days, members of his office force hav- ing decided to take him in hand and to do for him what he would not do for himself. It was realized that the att torney general had been laboring un- der mental strain for long time.
 Assistant Attorney General Me- Bride said that he expected Mir. Jones to be back in the office again in about two weeks, and that there was noth- ing to indicate conditions that could not be cured in short time. While in the hospital the attorney general is to undergo a minor operation. pr. w. O.. Sweek is his attending physician.

Fathers Big Potato Crop.
 The following is taken from a re- cent issue of the Country Gentle man:
 "It was in the San Luis Valley, Col orado, that the marvellous crop of SAY bushels was taken from one acre, and as the grower, R. A. Chisholm, is a large commercial potato grower I went down there to see how he did it.
 "The prize-$750-wa offered for the best acre crop of potatoes raised in these United States he said, and l thought this valley stood a good chance of winning it. So went at it.
 "'Yes, of course, took extra pains all through, but it paid, as you'll see. plowed in thousand pounds of corn fertilizer and narrowed twice and lev eled down to a fine seed bed; 1 always do that, anyhow. My seed was Brown Beauties; the Prince Edward Island type, which we've tested thoroughly here. l always take small seed po- tatoes, cut the seed end off and plant the rest whole. That seed was plant ed when the eyes were we'll swelled. We used a first-class planter, opening rows five inches deep, but we planted by hand so as to get regular distances. They were put in nine inches apart in rows thirty-three inches apart. I ran hand marker along the rows so as to get accurate distances.
 CT used 500 pounds of fertilizer with the seed; half of it planted with the potatoes, then a fill-in of three inches and then the rest of the fertil- izer. Then the whole row was ridged up. The planting was on the twelfth ] of May, about as early as we plant

How Irrigation Helps Yields.

What irrigation does for yield per acre is expressed in the comparative results of an investigation made by the Colorado crop reporting service, in which the secretary of the state board of agriculture co-operates with the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agricul- ture. Corn production in 1919 in that state on irrigated land was 30.6 bush- els per acre and on non-irrigated land 15.2 bushels; winter wheat, PAT and 9.3 bushels, respectively; spring wheat 22.8 and "A bushels; oats, 37.0 and and 152 bushels; barley, 30.S and 12.5 bushels; rye, 15.5 and S.6 bushels, and potatoes, 155 and 34 bushels.

Buy 46,000 Acres of Yayapai Land.

Ray and Roy Sorrels, said to be among the largest stock raisers of the state, have just affected the purchase of 46,OOO acres of the Baca grant,
 which was one of the float grants un-. der the old Spanish regime, is situated in western Yavapai county, close in to
 the Mohave county line. It is rather well watered and grassed and is the only big section of land that is not fully settled up by the cattlemen. The
 grant covers about four townships, be- ing twelve miles square, and approx imating 92,160 acres. This immense acreage has been fenced and was used | to some extent the past few years by | pr. Pehfin, several thousand head of
 cattle being brought in from the drouth stricken south.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
POOR PRODUCING HENS
BEGINS AUGUST 1ST

1t is safe to say that fully rs to
so per cent. of the hens which make
up the farm flock Of poultry do not
lay enough eggs to pay for the food
they consume. Many hens are kept
from three to five years on the farm
and such individuals are always loss
to their owner. By keeping the best
layers and culling out the poor pro
ducers a greater profit will be de-
rived from the farm flock. Again, eggs
will be Matched only from the heavy
layers and this will have a tendency
to increase the laying qualities of the
next generation.
By disposing of all inferior hens
during the early fall sufficient room
is provided for this years young
stock. This will allow them more
housing space and the health Of the
flock will be increased thus causing
a greater egg production.
The County Home Demonstration
agent of Abbeville County is plan
ming a poultry culhng campaign as
a regular part of her yearly work.
The campaign will be carried on from
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-07-12

August 1st to October 18th as it has
been proven that best results are OBJ
tanned during this season.
The purpose Of the campaign is to
enable the farm owner to realize
greater profit from the poultry flock,
With the present prices of corn and
other feed stuff it is necessary to
call out the poor producer or board
ing hen, to save as much high priced
feed as possible, to keep the best egg
layers for another season, 20 provide
sufficient space for this years young
stock and thus make it possible to
receive the greatest possible returns
from the farm flock.
1t has only been during the past
few years that the culling campaign
work could be successfully carried
on. The U. S. department of agricul-
ture and the different state universi--
ties through the efforts of their poul-
try departments have been able to
make a scientific study of poultry
and it is through their efforts that the
culling work had been made possible.
The selection Of the good producing
hens is very simple and almost any
one after a few moments practice
can successfully perform the work.
The time of year the hen sheds its
feathers the color of the leg of the
bird, comb condition and other sim
gle physical characteristics are con-

United States during the World
War honorably.

official blanks only, and all who are
Idesirous of filling an application
and obtaining one of those medals
should send for the necessary
blanks and instructions. In writing
for blanks, the applicant should
give his name, and the rank and
organization he was in at the time
of his discharge from the service.
After an applicant has received
and filled out his application papers
these should be sent with his origi-
nal discharge certificate to the
Army Recruiting Officer, Savannah,
Ca, for entering and forwarding.
The Recruiting Officer, as soon as

LEAVING THE ARMY

Resigations from the Regular
Army establishment as the result of
the reductions to pre-war grades
that are to be made by July are
expected to swell by several hun
dred the 1000 who have retired to
civil life since tn end of the war.
The back-fire of the several hun
dred reductions announced by the
War Department already has been
felt.
Brig-Gen. R. C. Marshall, Jr.,
who during the war served as chief
of the construction department and
supervised the construction of the
cantonments and factories erected
by the War Devartment has handed
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-07-12

in his resignation. Under the order
of the department of July 1 Gen.
Marshall would have become
Captain in the Coast Artillery
Corps. He has accepted a position IN
civil life that will pay him more
than anything that the army could
offer at any rank.
Thirty-eight other general officers
were affected by today's orders.
Twenty-three of these during the
war were Major-Generals, and with
four exceptions they will hold the
rank of Brigadier-General in the
peace time army. In the four ex-
Icepted cases the officers revert to
colonels. The fifteen brigadier-gen-
erals reduced today will for the
most part serve either as colonels
or lieutenant-coonels. A notable ex-
ception, however, is Brig.-Gen.
Marlborough Churchill, head of the
Military Intelligence Division dur
,, ing the war who now becomes a
Major in the Field Artillery.
The most serious result is eX-
pected even further down the line,
L L
colonels and majors must endeavor
now to make both ends meet on a
first lieutenant's pay. The only
hope that the war department holds
out to any of these men is that un-
der the provisions of the army re-
Organization bill there will be some
immediate promotions. !;
