lie, De Soto and Cobb schools with
’ Secretary Hyman in the interest of the
Educational and Childrens' building
for the fair. Much interest is becom
ing manifest on the part of the chil
dren in the fair, and they must not be
disappointed.
Afternoon—G. R. Simpson, R. C.
Pope, G. W. Walters. Mr. Simpson has
going an effort in growing alfalfa
which bids fair to do well. Mr. Pope
has a demonstration of what velvet
beans mean in enriching the soil. We
i haev all thought that cow peeaps were
good, and so they are, but he can show
you that velvet beans are better as it
shows now in his oat crop. Nitrogen
is plentiful in the air, more than $lO,-
000,000 worth above each acre of sur
face, and Mr. Pope has found that
velvet beans is one of the best means
of pulling it into the soil. At Mr.
Walters’ investigated hog cholera. He
has going with us grazing scheme ofr
hogs. Wrote four letters and con
ferred with two men in office.
Tuesday—lnoculated 5 hogs for Mr.
iG. W. Walters. Mr. R. W. Buchanan
! has land well broken for 12 acres
]corn and velvet beans with us? J. W.
Williamson will make a good crop if
thorough breaking will help to pro
' duce it. M. E. Hagerson has his IS
acres of land for corn, peonuts and
velvet beans broken and will find out
what the harrow will do in making a
better seed-bed. J. M. Buchanan is
one who does not spare time nor es
! fcrt in getting the sort of seed-bed
i that plants thrive best in. He has the
I best wheat yet seen in the county—he
I makes his own biscuit, has enough
■ now to last until Christmas. Con
ferred with two men in office.
] Wednesday—lnvestigated hog chol
era at J. W. Howard's. If any one
doubts that red clover will grow to
perfection in Sumter county, he has
but to visit Arles Plantation, where
■W. T. Calhoun will show you. His
alfalfa is doing well except in a few'
spots where the inoculation was not
good. He is one who put in one of the
I cold storage rooms and has since been
i using it to good advantage, having
cured out more than thirty thousand
I pounds of meat in it, and has already
sold more than $2,500 worth, right
I here in Americus. He is making hogs
pay by growing the feed for them and
then being independent of the packing

harrow' can do to make it better. His

the essentials for growing cotton in
spite of the boll weevil. S. E. DeLoach
lias his acres with us W'ell broken.
, and he has two boys and one girl who
| are getting themselves busy in the
| club work. Conferred with three men
]in office, wrote nine letters.
Thursday—ls you wish to know just
i how a run down farm can be made to
change its apeparanee in just a very
few months drive out to Myrtle
Springs and take a look over into the
newly fired fields of J. W. Hightower,
and be sure that you take time to no
tice just how’ the fence is put up, too.
The soil will show' that he is clearing
up a “new ground” from below. The
oats, just freeshly horrow'ed, indicate
w hat there is in the field from below'.
Mr. Hightower is one who is anxious
to get every suggestion and he puts
them into execution. He will work a
grazing scheme with us. W. R. Rooks
has his whole farm with us and is
working to build soil and furnish
grazing by working a definite crop
ping plan. J. P. Crutchfield, although
on leased land, yet is progressive
enough to establish a definite rotation
of the three main crops on a part of
his farm with us. He also knows
what velvet beans will do for hogs as
well as the soil, his hogs are still graz
ing them. J. E. Daniel has a good
seed-bed for 5 acres of corn, peanuts
and velvet beans with us. He is also
working a grazing scheme with us,
but due to the late start, the hogs are
keeping up with his crops right now.
Frank Daniel will have a rotation in
the general crops with us, the purpose
being to continue to build soil as well
a? grow' crops.
Friday—lnoculated 8 more hogs for
3. W. Walters. Spent part of morning
with C. L. Ansley seeing what he has
done in making a magnificent planta
tic n from six small farms. He has as
good oats and wheat as any in the
county. He will begin a rotation of
grazing crops for growing meat. Once
you get a glimpse of his work there is
no longer any wonder as to how
Mr. Robertson gets the soil so well
broken. The afternoon at Anderson
ville with moving pictures to instruct
the boys how' to grow a good pig and
a good acre of corn.
Saturday—lnoculated 100 hogs for
I. W. Howard, and he has still more.
He is planning to have something to
be able to continue to grow cotton
when the weevil reaches him. Inoc
ulated 8 hogs for S. B. Hawkins. He
grows the meat that he furnishes in
the barbecue sandwiches, and he does
not like to have cholera lurking
abound. If it does he does not object
