is anticipating a yield of forty
bushels to the acre, while the
cotton bids fair to produce two
bales to the acre. He is a firm
believer in the plan of intensive
eultivat ion,and his work will go to

Another theory that he advances
is that growing crops should be |
led with fartilixer during growth, i
He believes m the possibility of
raising forty bushels of corn to
the acre and likewise two hales ot i
of cotton to the acre, where tin
farmer form* rlv raised much less, j

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE2S. !9oH
RURAL CARRIERS TO {
MEET IN ALBANY, GA.
Final arrangemets for the annu
al convention of the state asso- .
ciation of Rural Letter Carriers, j
to be held at Albany July 51 and j
1, have lieon announced by State
President George Debrosse, of
Statesboro. A large delegation
of carriers elected by counties and
districts will attend the conven- i
lion. All carriers who can take a j
vacation, with pay, any time aft-1
or .July 1 and it is expected that j
a good many will take advantage I
of this fact and be present at the j
convention when it opens at Al- :
bany on J illy 8.
Delegates will be selected to the
national convention of the asso
ciation, which meets in Omaha,;
Nebr., in October.
Although the National Associa
tion of Rural Letter Carriers is
yet. comparatively voung having
been organized at Chicago in Sep*
teinber, 1003, it has done a great j
work. Much of this lias been due
to the national president, Paul L.
Lindsay, of Tucker, Ga., who suc
oeeded Frank H. Cunningham, of
Neliraska, w ho served as president
. from 1903 to 1905, when the in
enmbent was elected at the con
vention held at Indianapolis. He
j lias been reflected twice and w ill
probably again be made the nn
! t ional iiresiilent.
The Georgia carriers are elated
j over the good feeling that exists
lietween the department and the
Georgia association as was evi
denced by the fact that the fourth
assistant postmaster genetal. P.
V. DcGraw made an exception to
the rule and came to Atlrnta and
addressed the national conven
tion on Goto be’ 1 9, 1907.
