for Hans, the 22nd of
.Jam last year, when he hit a home run
wallop, for it was his hutidrislth home
run and that's a good many home runs
for any one player, when you stop to
think about it. •
At tin time of his hundredth home run
Wagner had part inn;,ted in 2486 cham
pionship games, and had made 2220 sin- .
gles. f; 7 5 douides, 230 triples, or 3131 j
hits for a grand total of 4478 bases.
Wagner's best home run year wan in
]8i)8 when la made eleven ai. followed
the next year w ith ten.
Aside from being a great baseball '
.player. Wagner is a great hunter and
«i lover of tme dogs. They tell many j
stories of Wagner, bis dogs and his
bunting expeditions.
W agner lias made good account of the 1
money be bus earned as a player. He
lias neither lieen stingy' nor extravagant.
He Simply didn’t see any need of throw
ing "liip money away and now when he
must be nearing the end of his playing
usefulness he knows lie can retire when
ever accessary and live in comfort.
his many peculiarities is that
he never cashes a pay check during the
playing season. While other players
may hy "broke” and anxiously waiting
for Ihe "ghost to walk” that event !
inglsos jk> difference to Wagner. He keeps |
lilt ifliMlis until the season is over and j
then hanks them all at one time.
This is W agner's seventeenth consecu- j
live season with Pittsburg and his fcwen- j
tictb season in professional baseball, ;
having been with Ismisville, three years I
before joining l’ittshurg, but that isn’t 1
all. He played semi-professional ball six j
years before Hint, making this his twen
ty-sixth season in baseball.
He batted over .300 for seventeen con
secutive years in baseball and never fell
under that until the 1014 and 1015 sea
sons, and lie says he is out to retrieve
l:is iccord this season.
A few years hack W agner covered more
ground than any shortstop that ever
Jived. While it is true he has slowed up
n little lately, lie still lias room to slow
up some more and still he faster than a
lot of men twenty years younger than he.

Getting High Yields
From Cotton Crop
Hew a Good Variety And Modern
Methods Of Cultivation Panned
Out In The Field
(JOHN It. FAIN, Professor Agronomy,
State College Of Agriculture.)
Four acres of cotton grown on the
demonstration field of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, yielded
revenue as follows: Lint at 12 cents,
$282.48; seed for planting at $2.00,
$121.50; seed to oil mill at $44.50,
$40.60; Total $444.58, or a return per
acre of $111.14.
The majority cf the cotton grown
was College Number 1, a selection
made a few years ago from the Sun
beam cotton. This cotton has proven
resistant to anthracnose, has outyield
ed the original Sunbeam and is some
what earlier.
The important lessons from this
demonstration are, the value of good
seed from a good variety that has been
bred up by proper methods to a fixed
type and reliable behavior, the value
of a well prepared seed bed and the
economy of frequent and shallow cul
tivation by which the moisture of the
soil is conserved, the roots spared
from being torn from their feeding
places by the deep furrowing plow or
dinarily used, and the completer sup
pression of weeds.
The lesson that can be applied now,
when the crop is growing, is that with
reference to frequent and shallow cul
tivation.
Peach Orchard Acreage
Increases In Georgia
Marked Increase In Number Of Peach
Trees Set Out During Period
Of Twelve Months
(H. T. McIIATTON, Prof. Horticul
ture, Ga. State Gol. Of Agr.)
Information received from various
parts of the state makes it conserva
tive to say that more than 1,000,000
new trees have been added the peach
orchard acreage of the state of Geor
gia during the planting season of 1915
and early 1916. This means that there
are something like 10,000 more acres
devoted to peach culture in the state.
Quite a decided increase in the acre
age has taken place in the Fort Val
ley region. Northeast Georgia has
added materially to its acreage. North
west Georgia has planted many trees,
while as far south as Tbomasville
peach trees have been Ranted on rath
er a broad scale, considering that
they are planted somew'hat as a new
crop for that region.
The success of crops of recent years,
and the success with which diseases
affecting the peach have been combat
ted, has tended to place peach culture
on a more attractive basis than for
several years.
Rid Hens of Lice and Mites
(Wm. S. DILTS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College Of Agriculture.)
Each year the profits of the farmer
and poultryman are clipped by the at
tacks of these parasites. Hens infest
ed with lice will not lay as many eggs
as those kept free from them. Young
chicks will not grow as fast and often
die from attacks of these parasites.
The sitting hen should he dusted at
least three limes during the hatch
with a good insect powder. You caD
make the following powder at home:
Take 3 parts of gasoline and 1 part
of 90-95 per cent crude carbolic acid or
the same amount of cresol or zeno
leum. Mix well, then stir in enough
plaster of paris to take up the mois
ture, making a dry powder. Keep the
powder in a closed can for use.
The lice hide in the fluff feathers
round the vent, in under the wings,
on the top of the head, and on the
thigh feathers. Apply the powder
particularly well in these parts, see
ing that it penetrates well. Provide
the hens with a wallow of fine dust
and they will try to rid themselves of
the lice. ‘ :
Mites work on the fowls at night,
hiding in clusters in cracks and crev
ices, on the perches and in the nests
during the day. They suck the btood
of the birds they are on during the
nighi, and, when full, have a red color.
At other times they are a yellowlsfa
w hite color.
You can rid your houses of mites
by thoroughly cleaning the house and
spraying all parts with 1 part of crude
carbolic acid or a good coal-tar disin
fectant to forty or fifty parts of water.
A kerosene emulsion may be used if
used more often. One part of kerosene
to fifteen to twenty parts of water will
be effective. Be sure to cover the nest,
roosts and cracks in the wall well with
this spray, as it must come in contact
with the mites to he effective.

To The Voters Of The 11 th.
Congressional District
We hereby present Honorable J. E. T. Bowden, of Way-.
cross, Ware County, Georgia, for Congress from the Eleventh Con
gressional District of Georgia.
Knowing Mr. Bowden as we have for the past several
years, we can speak of him only in the highest terms. As to his
fitness to fill this high and honorable position, beg to say that we
regard him as a man of sterling qualities and of the highest integ
rity, and .one who posses all the qualifications of a real statesman.
He also psses an unlimited amount of energy, which has always
been displayed for the benefit of the masses.
Mr. Bowden is a member of the Board of Education of
the City of Waycross, ad also a member of the Sinking Fund Com
mission of Waycross,. He has the distinction of being one of the
very few men in South Georgia, who was ever honored as Reading
Clerk of the Georgia Legislature, which position he resigned to
enter this race.
The only charge that has been made against him is the
tact that he is not a College graduate, but we are postive that he
is thoroughly familiar with all the fundamental principals of the
law, and is big enough and broad enough to represent all classes
in a fair and impartial manner, and we most earnestly ask your
serious consideratin of his candidacy, knowing that if he is elected,
that not only will the enstituents fthis district be proud of his work
m Congress, but we also know that he will do credit to the State of
Georgia as a representative in the National Halls of Congress.
