COTTON, GRAIN AND STOCK
The increase in the price of cotton
is largely responsible for the better
feeling now prevailing throughout
Georgia and the South. One year ago
there was practically no market for
cotton. A few bales were sold for 10
cents per pound in connection with the
“Buy a Bale’ movement but in com
parison with the number of bales madc
this amounted to practically nothing.
The crop last year was not so large;
but in the rejoicing over the . better
price being received, this fact is prac
tically lost sight of by the individual.
The people of this section have de
pended ‘'so long on the cotton crop to
pay their bills and furnish them ready
money, that it is hard for them to re
alize what great changes have taken
place during the past few years, and
there is no longer any real reason why
a short cotton crop or low prices for
the fleecy staple should demoralize the
South.
In Georgia cattle raising is devol
oping rapidly. There is hardly a coun
ty in the state that does not boast
of its fine hogs, and places of hundreds
of acres are devoted exclusively to
raising and developing live stock.
Every farm, regardless of how small
now has a number of head of cottl
and each year these bring in an ex
cellent income on the investment.
It is grain growing that Georgia i
making the greatest progress. Dur
ing this year it is estimated that Geor
gia will produce 65,600,000 bushels o
corn, an increase over 1915 of sevel
million bushels. Such of this coti
as is not needed by tihe producers
will find a ready sale fcr cash at
an excellent price, and as a quici rev
enue producer is even now an active
rival of the cotton crot Tae total
value of this state’s grain crop. as es
timated for 1916 is approximately $60,-
000,000.
A comparison of the total value of
of the cotton crop of tiuz Soath with
the value of grain prouuced will show
that grain exceeds that of cotton. One
grown was that of 1913-1914, which, in
grwn was that of 1913-1914, which, in
cluding the seed, was estimated at
$1,134.000. This year’s grain crop is
estimated as follows: Corn, $1,047,
679; wheat, $168,836,000; oats, $BB.-
873,000; rice, 025,000,000. Total for
all grain $1,330,388,000, showing an in
crease over the best cotton year, in
value of $197,000,000.
In Georgia 1916 will show a larger
amount of wheat grown than in any
ten previous years, while this crop will
continue to increase each year.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MARGCH, &, 1916.
; Honor American Woman.
Decoration of the silver and gold
honor badge of the Scottish Black
Watch regiment has beem conferred
upon Mrs. William R. Taylor of Phil
adelphia “in recognition of her kind
ly act in writing more than 1,000 let
ters to British soldiers in the trench
es.” The Duke of Connought, Gov
ernor General of Canada, sent the dec
oration by Sir William K. Mac-
Naught, who told Mrs. Taylor her let
ters are highly prized by the soldiers.
The letters were addressed to
“Some soldiers in the trenches,” and
cach one concluded with an original
verse. “I did not make a copy of
the letters,” said Mrs. Taylor, and 1
cannot say what was in them, except
in the vaguest way—merely words of
comfort.”
It was said this is the first time the
Black Watch badge has been con
ferred on an American.pßaltimore

A physician tells this story of &
bright boy, lis own, who had reached
the mature age of 9, after an early
career marked by wild and mischiev

His restless nature had made him
somewhat of a torment to his tcach
er at times, and one afterncon not
long ago she kept him after the oih
ers were dismissed and had a seri
ous talk with him. Perhaps she was
a little afraid that her admonitions
were falling on stony ground. Any
way, she finally said:
“I certainly will have to ask your
father to come and see me.”
“Don’t do it,” said the boy.
The teacher thought she had made
an impression.
“Yes,” she repeated, “I must send
for your father.”
“yYou better not,” said the boy.
“Why not?” inquired the teacher.
«'Cause he charges $2 a visit,” said
the scamp.
The Chaplain’s Duty.
A represeniative in Congress took
a friend from home to the Senate
gallery one afternoon, says the Wash
ington Times. As the friend looked
down upon the scene his gaze rested
upon the clerical garb of a man in
front of the Vice President’s chair.
Since he seemed particularly inter
ested, the representative explained:
“Phat’s the Reverend F. J. Pretty
man, the chaplain of the Senate.”
“QOh, he prays for the Senate,” does
he?” asked the friend.
“No,” said the representutive, “he
takes a look at the Senate ond then
prays for the country.” .

An Expensive Visit.
; e WHEAT
Some excellent farming is done in
Crisp county. Of course, this is the
cotton belt but the farming is in wheat,
oats, cotton, corn, stock raising. Up
to-date methods of farming and crop
rotations are practiced. All of the
farmers of Crisp county who make
any pretentions toward doing good
farming, and this means a large pro
portion of them, carry out systematic
crop rotation.
Wheat is one of the new crops of
this country, and is usually sown from
September to October, and it usually
follows corn. The corn is gathered
and the wheat put in almost imme
diately after the corn is cut. If the
ground is very weedy, or if cowpeas
or soy beans were sown in the corn
at the last cultivation, these are thor
oughly cut with a disik harrow and
then turned under with a two-horse
plow. It is customary, however, 10
sow soy beans or cowpeas in the corn
at the last cultivation, because these
are generally grown late in July or
early in August, and this does not
leave sufficient' time to get caough
growth to amount to anything.
Legumes Grown With All Crepe.
A part of the wheat crop follows a
crop of cowpeas or soy beans. A ma
ture crop of cowpeas or soy beans can
not be had when sown in the corn at
the last cultivation, as the frost will
catch them before they are matured.
When wheat follows these leguines it
is usually where they were sown in
May, from which a mature crop of seed
is harvested. These peas or soy beans
are thoroughly chopped to pié(:u.‘; with
ad isk harrow and plowed under two
to four weeks before time to sow the
wheat. Then the farmer goes over
the land several times, in the mean
time with a disk harrow, following
several times with an acme harrow.
He has two to four weeks to get the
land in thorough condition and to al
low it to bccome compact before sow
ing the wheat. Then, just preceeding
the drilling of the wheat, & heavy home
made plank drag is run over the land.
This crushes any clods that may be
left and smoothes and firms the soil.
The wheat is sown with a grain drill
in the majority of instances, and most
of the farmers sow from one to one
and three-fourths bushels of seed to
the acre. Practically all of the farm
ers put 200 pounds per acre of phos
phate fertilizer on the wheat, putting
it in the ground with drill at secding
time. Many use about a 10 pounds of
nitrate of soda in the spring, usually
applying it in March. Immediately af
ter this nitrate of soda is applied the
common practice is to run over the
wheat with a spike-tooth or smooth
ing harrow with teeth set backward
g 0 that the wheat will not be dug up.
This accelerates the growth of the
wheat, and many of the farmers claim
{hat this harrowing causes the grain
to mature from a week to 10 days
earlier than if it were not given.

vided it doesn't require a push to

AS “THE FOUNDLING,” one of the most sweetly pathetic charac
ters she has cver impersonated on the screen, the incomparable Mary
Pickford surpasses herseif! The foundling is the daughter of a strug- -
gli agnrtist, at whose birth her mother dies. Becausc of his wonderful
love for his wife, the artist hates the child that caused her death, and
gives the haby girl tc a mothering heart who carcs fer it. The tregedy
of his wife's death brings to the artist the master-touch he has so long

+he sunset of life, he healizes its emptiness and futility, and yearns for:
the return of the child he had drinven from his heart. She, in the
meantime, had drifted through a strange and varying life. How the
threads of destiny unite these parted souls. bringing to ecach its first
genuine happiness, is ahschingly unfolded in this unique photoplay.
