Yours truly,
J. L. HEINTZ.

Pure Bred Seed As Important
As Pure Bred Livestock \
Tests conducted by the State Col
lege of Agriculture with cotton varie
ties have shown that pure and se
lected cotton seed produce $lO to
$•10 worth more of seed and lint per
acre than the common gin run seed
of what was originally the same
variety. The conditions under which
the tests have been carried out were
identical, with the exception that one
variety was pure selected seed and
the other was from the common gin
run.
Differences in the returns from
such plantings have been in some
cases as much as $75 per acre, which
is attributed entirely to the quality
of the seed used. The only expendi
ture necessary to have obtained the
increased return would have been
about $2.00 per acre for the differ
ence in the cost of the seed, it is
said.
•Further tests have shown that
some varieties are adapted to cer
tain soils and climatic conditions
while others are not. For instance,
the average yields of College No. 1
and a strain of Cleveland during the
past four years at the College Ex- '
periment Station, valued at last sea
son’s prices, have returned over SSO
per acre more than other prominent
varieties. In these cases, pure seed
were used of all varieties in the test.
In view of these results farmers |
are advised to consult the nearest |
experiment station in regard to the
variety best suited to their soil and
climatic conditions.

THE LISTENERS
ONE cold winter's morning, when
the snow ha<t been on the ground
n the woods so long that all the wood
folks wore getting pretty hungry, lit
tle Bunny Rabbit and his brother, Nib
iily, ran out of their house dressed in
thefr Warm fur coats.
The sun was warm and they did not
mind the snow. Besides, they had
oaten a good breakfast of stewed
turnips and other things that prudent
-Mrs. Rabbit had canned for the win
ter days.
"Let's run over to old Mr. Fox's
house ttnd listen to what he and his
wife are talking about,” said Bunny.
Two Frightened Little Rabbits Hopped
Away Under Bushes.
“They are sure to be saying something
they will not want uh to hear. And
then we will laugh some day when
we see them and call out what we
have heard them saying."
"But some day they might catch
us," said Nibbly. “That wouldn't be
very funny if they did."
"Oh, they would not hurt us,” said
Bunny. "They'd rather have chicken
and duck for dinner than anything
el He."
Now, it happened that Mr. Fox and
his wife were very hungry that morn
ing and were eating the very last of
some turkey they had had the night
before for dinner. “I can't get out of
the woods today to get any poultry,”
Beautiful in Ruin Is
Famous Dryburgh Abbey
A beautiful ancient church, like a
tine old painting or poem, has a mes
sage for people of the present day.
It Is as if the builders challenged the
modern world in this wise: “Here is
our Ideal of beauty; It breathes the
life of our time and marks a step In
our progress. Do you moderns sur
pass us In such expressions of
beauty?"
The abbey of Dryburgh lies in Ber
wickshire, just across the border not
far from Abbotsford and Melrose ab
bey, says the Christian Science Mon
itor. There Is a question whether It
was founded by David I In 1150, or by
Hugh de Morvllle. Probably both men
did much for It. The abbey today Is
surrounded by orchards and noble
trees and crowns a peninsula around
which sweeps the Tweed river. Two
gables are still entire, and in the west
one Is a beautifully radiated circular
window, called the wheel of St. Cath
erine. The general architecture of the
abbey shows Roman, Saxon, Norman
and Gothic influences. We associate
the spot principally with Sir Walter
Scott, hut Thompson composed his
“Winter" here, and long before that
Gower, the friend of Chaucer, occupied
a cell in Dryburgh abbey. Chaucer
himself stayed some time here with
his friend and rival.
School children in the mountain
districts of Washington carry rifles
to school to protect them from the
cougars and lynx which have been
driven to the lower lands by the
severity of the winter.
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MARCH 20, 1925
Mr. Fox was telling his wife whpn
Bunny and Nibbly crept up to the
door to listen.
“Well, there Is something right In
the woods we could eat,” replied Mrs.
Fox. "I’d rather have turkey or
chicken but when I am hungry I don’t
mind rabbit stew."
"Rabbit stew!” exclaimed Mr. Fox.
"That Is the very dish for a cold day
like this, and I am sure I can find a
few onions when I find a pair of nice
rabbits.”
"We can have fried rabbit, too,”
said Mrs. Fox. "And a baked one
would not go badly. I do believe I
could eat one this minute if I
had It."
"So could I,” said Mr. Fox, "and as
soon as I finish eating this turkey
bone I’ll run around and get two young
rabbits I know about; perhaps mor£,
but two anyway.”
“Bunny and Nibbly would be good
In a stew,” said Mrs. Fox, "and I will
put the pot right on this minute and
have It ready when you bring them
back. I do hope they have eaten a
lot this winter so that they will be
nice and plump.”
All this time the long ears of the
listeners were sticking right up
straight and their eyes were growing
big and frightened looking, while their
noses trembled so they could hardly
breathe.
By the time Mrs. Fox got out the
[iot two frightened little rabbits
hopped away under bushes and any- I
thing that would hide them and made
their way home to tell what they had
heard.
“I guess they will keep away from
here for a while,” laughed Mr. Fox
us he and his wife peeked out the win
dow at the flying little rabbits. "They
will learn a lesson, too, that listeners
never hear any good of themselves."
“If I had not happened to see them
we might have been talking about
something we would not want them to
hear.”
“That is right,” said Mr. Fox. "And
we won’t have rabbit stew for dinner,
after all, for this minute I am certain
those youngsters are hidden so far
back in their home that It would take
a week to dig them out. We’ll have
turkey soup out of the bones left from
breakfast."

What Else Was There
for Millicent to Do?
When Mrs. Gray came nome MllU
cent met her at the door; she seemed
bursting with news.
"Mother I”
"Well, dear?”
"What do you think Robert and that
Jones boy did this afternoon?”
"Why, nothing bad, I hope—’’
"Mother!" Millicent paused impres
sively, They went and they built —a
tire! Yes’m! With kerosene! Ont
behind the chicken coop where you
told 'em they never, never must!”
"Mllllcent! Your little brother!
Why, he might have —but why didn’t
you stop him?”
"Mother, told him, and I told hhn,
and he said he would too, and I took
him by the shoulder and shook —"
But Mrs. Gray was seized with a
suddKt suspicion. "Mllllcent, you know |
I kt>ep the kerosene locked In the I
storeroom, and Robert doesn't know I
where I keep the key. Look me in the
eye, Mllllcent. How did lie get that
kerosene?”
Mllllcent’s eyelids flickered. "Well,
you see. mother —er—when I saw that
Robert and that Jones boy were de
termined to build a fire, why—er—l
had to get the things for ’em, didn’t I,
and superintend 'em, didn't I?” —

Not to Be Caught Twice
There was a queer old custom In
England that compelled a person when
making a certain kind of statement to
I add: "Except the mayor." Foote, the
i comedian, having remarked at an Inn:
| "I have dined as well as anyone In
i England,” the landlord prompted him:
“Except the mayor." "I except no
body," said Foote boldly. For this the
landlord had him haled before a mag
istrate, who fined him a shilling for not
conforming to the ancient custom.
Foote paid the shilling, at the same
time observing that he thought his
accuser "the greatest fool in Christen
dom —except the mayor.”

Wisdom from Babe’s Lips
As a child of three Wolfgang Mo
zart’s wonderful playing on the harpsi
chord was the talk of Salzburg. He
was only four years old when he com
posed a concerto so difficult that even
his father, one of the most skilled
violinists In Germany, could not play
it. “Os course," said the Infant
prodigy, “no one can be expected to
play it without diligent practice.” A
year later, when Wolfgang was only
five years old. he was Invited to give
a recital In the hall of the university,
when the magic of his tiny fingers
worked his auditors to a pitch of the
wildest enthusiasm.

DICKERING
The possessor of the loudest voice or the
most brazen cheek used to be able to drive the
best bargain. But, dickering, chaffering and
haggling over prices have gone out of date.
Simply by glancing over the advertisements
in your paper you can see where to go for the
best buys. You can compare values and check
up prices without even stirring from your easy
chair. You can know in advance just what you
are going to get and how much it will cost. And
you can have the satisfaction that comes from
knowing your money is wisely spent.
Nowadays, every one is given an equal op
portunity to buy shrewdly. But there are still a
rare few who fail to utilize the advertisements.
Don’t be one of them.
Every advertisement is a real opportunity
