GOV. AND MRS. a. STEPHAN
TELL OF COAST TRIP

During their stay in Delta this week
Gov. and Mrs. George Stephan of Dem
yer. have been renewing acquaintance
with many Delta people and talking
over things of public and general In
terest with their many friends here.
Among other things. Mr.. Stephan
gave us a very interesting account of
a trip he and his wife took this win
ter in their big Essex. going from
Denver to the coast and up through
Canada, returning east of the Rockies.
The story as told by Mr.. Stephan
makes very entertaining reading and
we reproduce it here. confident that
our readers will enjoy 1t as much as
we did.

cided to drive from Colorado to Cali

we had certainly taken leave of our
senses. They told US tales of motor
lists lost in billiards. stalled in snow

in winter storms. etc. Nevertheless
we felt we could do it-and we did.
1--WE left Denver at noon one bright
sunny day in January. ad turned the
Essex to the south. Colorado Springs.

ton Pass climbed and the mountain
range crossed. and no where did we

cold and invigorating and full of
bright sunshine. We crossed New
Mexico, lingering for awhile in the
quaint historic town of old Santa Fe.
and In Arizona's marvellous Petrified
Forest near Holbrook. We were able
to reach Harvey House each night
and the clean. warm rooms, and ex-
cellent food were very welcome after
the long cold day in the open. Near
Flagstaff, we commenced to see snow
on the ground and when within seven
miles OF the town. were entering drifts
we're stalled along this bit of road,
but after putting on the chains, going
into "1ow" and using every bit of
power that our car had, we not only
forced our way thru the drifts. but
broke a trail for other cars. This Is
cruel work for a ar-"bucking
snow-but the Essex stood it nobly.
After a few miles we met the big ro-
tary snow-plow opening up the road.
and making lane between high
banks of snow. Forty miles more and
we were entirely out of the snow and
running down the foothills into desert
country. But we were to see snow
once more-from Barstow to the edge
of the lowlands the whole Mojave des-
ert was a level plain Of white-a most
unusual thing. We will never forget
how forlorn the yuccas and cactus
looked, sticking up stiffly thru the
white covering. 1t was only few
inches deep. and we had good ce-
ment road under US by this time. but
we considered It something Of joke
that We saw no snow in Colorado but
rode thru 1t for more than fifty miles

over high grade of climbing some
highland that gives one most beaud-
full views of the ocean and coast line.
"At San Francisco. we deserted the
paved road. and took the Redwood
Highway which runs close to the
coast line. We spent three days
among these wonderful forests. The
trees are often 300 feet high and
many of them measure fifty feet and
more in circumference. At times we
felt as If we were in some great ca
thedral, with these straight fluted
trunks around us. the twilight of the
dense shade and the carpet of brown
needles hushing every football; then
the forest would thin. and younger
growth would appear and we would
come out on a sunny hillside, many
colored with a riotous growth of wild
flowers, and the blue sea sparkling
far below US.
at was with deep regret that we
left these magnificent forests In
Northern California and turned east
ward thru the mountains to reach the
main Pacific Highway at Grants Pass,
Oregon The road crosses high
mountain chain-the Coast range,
and while the scenery is superb. as
road it leaves much to be desired,
especially after crossing the state line
into Oregon. There was fifteen miles

we escaped with no broken springs

over the bad. But they tell us there
is a new road in course of construc-
ton along this route and the motorist
who goes next year will escape this
poor road. At Grants Pass. we struck
the main paved highway that comes
up thru the valleys of Northern Calf
fornia. The country here Is very
lovely,-low, thickly wooded hills and
pleasant valleys. The road that climbs
the mountain chain here is the finest
we have ever seen; 1t is several feet
wider than the ordinary paved road,
sweeps up with wide curves and easy
grades, and is so thickly bordered by
shrubs. wild flowers and trees that 1t

Sumter county, it seems, is going
to produce this year the greatest
pat crop ever grown here, if seasons
are favorable. W. B. heys, who
makes a sepicalty Of growing oats
upon his farm three miles east Of
Amencus, said yesterday that the
crop conditions were excellent, and
that a great yield would doubtless
be made this spring. Last year the
oat crop Of Sumter was estimated
at 100000 bushels.
Nearly one hundred points down
from the high mark attained ten
days ago, the cotton market, local
Iy, was dull yesterday with little

cotton. There is considerable spot
cotton for sale at any substantial

THE SMALL FARMER
THE HOPE OF The WORLD

We have great respect for the
small farmer, and have often
thought that should we ever quit
this everlasting writing game, that
we would HE ourself to some quiet
near-town acreage, a small estate,
just enough to have a symbol of
citizensFip, and there live at
home.
Henry Ford says it's coming to
three acres and a cow" fgura-
lively, when each man can have
something to contribute to the
substenance of himself and his.
OF course one man may want only
one acre, another five; one may
want chickens, not cows, and an
other neither, so we strike ar av-
erage at three acres.

HUMBLE PEANUT, FATHER
OF $50 CHILDREN.

Sumter county and the regions
around about, have been and is yet
going strong on peanuts, hogs and
cotton, Fact is, ours is a purely
agricultural section, and without
the support and the cooperation
Of the peanut growers and other
farm products, we would not get
very far,
What was once regarded as
purely circus fruit, has Of late
years come into her own. 1t has
fallen to the lot of a negro chem
list to show to the world what the
possibilities of the lowly peanut
really is, and we folks down here
in Georgia will be astonished to
know that $50 products and more,
can be made from the peanut.
At Virginia fair last fall, this
negro, chemist, none other than
Prof George w. Carver, over at
Tuskegee, had an exhibit in which
he showed shoe backing, sweet
pickles, toilet soaps, vinegar and
breakfast food, fuel and face
cream are but starters in the list
of hundreds of other things, all
of which were developed in his
research laboratories at the Tus-
kegee Norman and Industrial In
stitute.
This colored man of the old
time type has spent thirty years
in the development of useful by
products from soy beans, velvet
beans, cowpeas, tomatoes and
sweet potatoes. He has fifty to
sixty soy beans by-products.
And yet Carver goes on finding
new ways in which to use the pro-
ducts of our farm in such a way
as to be most profitable to the
farmer, teaching his own race TO
be better citizens-better farm
ers, a truly worthy undertaking is
his.
