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.

Douglas, Ga THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JULY 29 1916. 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. VALUABLE ANIMAL FOR CORN CLUB WINNER The American Short Horn Breeders’ Association has offered a |SOC pure bred short horn bull to the boy mak ing the largest yield on an acre of corn in connection with the Boys’ Corn Clubs. This valuable priae should add seal to the competition now going on amopg the 10,000 earn club bnyfi of Georgia. • ‘ J *" 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,.
