COTTON CROP IS BEING PLANFED IN SUMTER Acreage Here No Larger Than Last Year. Farmers in Americus yesterday re port a very busy week “down on the farm/’ as the season for planting .the cotton crop is at its height, and all over the county farmers are thus em ployed. N'ot an acre more will De planted this year in Sumter than last year, the farmers say. There is no additional labor for a greater acreage, and besides, the high prices of mules, meat and grain pre cludes any possibility of a larger acre age. Instead, the farmers this year will plant less cotton, but fertilize it more and work it better, thus insuring a larger yield in lint at an even less cost of cultivation. More coru and oats are being planted this year than last year in Sumter. A. C. Lewis, assistant state ento mologist, has recently been in Ameri cus. where he came to oversee the sending out of the resistant cotton seed that the state board of entomol ogy :s d.stribuling this spring. The seed they sent out this spring were grown for them at the following places. Mr. Ed Howell, Vienna, Ga. Col. M. B. Council, Americus. Mr. Jesse Faust, Plains, Ga. Mr. Z. T. Wall, Ellavllle, Ga. Mr. C. W. Sutton. Edison. Ga. They have distributed the cottar seed to over 2,500 different farmers. Mr. Lewis has been working on this disease of cotton for five years and has secured by continued selecting and hybridizing several strains that are quite resistant to the black root disease. He recommends that the cot ton be planted where cotton died last year or the year before. The cotton, however, should not be Planted after cow peas (except Iron) sugar cane, water melons and canta loupes. ns these crops support the nematode worms and this cotton is not as resistant to these worm as It is to the black root disease.

MADE ’GOVERN OR OF DISTRICT AS OFFICER IX COMMAND Americus Army Officer Given Merited Promotion. Americus friends of Major James W. Furlow, of the Fourth Battalion of j that of last year _ verdure now. When cotton touched 16 cents it was predicted that the farmers would be so demoralized they would plant little except cotton and the acreage would be the largest ever known In this section. That this prediction has failed, how ever, is shown by the fact that the acreage is to be planted in cotton in this territory is hardly as large J. TV. Shiver Will Build Broadhurst and 1III1 Homes. Contracts for the building of two handsome residences in Americus for Mr. R. S. Broadhurst and Mr. Allot Hill, respectively, were let yesterday to Mr. Joun TV. Shiver, the well known .contractor and builder. The Broad hurst residence will ho erected at tho corner of Barlow and Hill streets, and will be a handsome two-story eight- room home and complete in every way. Mr. Hill’s residence will be built on Lee street, next to that of Mr. Shiver. It will contain six large rooms and will be made thoroughly complete and attractive withal. Philippine Scouts, and now doing his second term of service in the Philip pine Islands, will be Interested in the following clipping from a Manilla pa per concerning army movements in our new possessions. This command Is to be sent to the district of Davao, where it will do per manent garrison duty. The Manilla Journal has this mention: "The 4th Battalion of Scouts, com panies 37, 43, 48 and 49, are VIsayans and were stationed until recently in Samar. They arrived in Manila Sun day and are in camp on the Manila flats. They are under orders for the present to participate in the maneu vers at Camp Stotsenburg. “Major James TV. Furlow is the new commander of the 4th Battalion having Just been detailed from the 4thl United States Infantry. He suc ceeds Major Harry S. Howland, who ha3 returned to tho 26tn Infantry in the United States. As commanding officer of tho gar rison, Major Furlow wll in all prob ability also be made governor of the entire Davao district.” In some parts of the county the acreage is a little larger, but it is equalized by the fact that in the lower part of the count/ it Is a good deal smaller, many of the farmers In that section having planted corn on an ox- tensixe scale. The farmer of South Georgia la, as a rule, a very level headed fellow and with the big crops of corn and other foodstuffs raised last year and the fine prices they brought, hie considers it better to stick to them in a measure than to risk his all on cotton. Of course, cotton will always be “the crop” In this section, but the farmer now arranges his crops so that when cotton fails he no longer feels that he has lost everything. HEALTH AND VITALITY.
