1 SOPERTON, GA. FARMERS’ TOOLS j
I ’ (
Large Yield Is Grown.
Thomasville, July 14. —From a'
third of an acre of land Charles
Pittman, farming about two and
a half miles from Thomasville,
has recently gathered 3, GOO
pounds of tomatoes. These to
matoes were of the finest va
riety and all sound.
Other farmers in this section
are engaged in the work of can
ning tomatoes both for home con
sumption and for marketing, and
it begins to look as if soon the
merchants of this section will be
able to buy much of their canned
goods at home.
The crop of tomatoes in south
Georgia has been the finest this
year that has probably ever been
known, and a great many have
been shipped to the northern
markets. The prices received
have been unusually good, and
dealers report that the quality of
the Georgia tomato is superior to
any other received this year.
Big Eagle Attacks
Woman In Colquitt.
Moultrie, July 14.- Mrs. G. VV.
Hall, aged 70, residing in the
northern part of the county, was
attacked by a monster eagle this
morning.
Mrs. Hall heard a shote sqeal
ingand went out to see what was
tie matter and discovered the
hog in the throes of death from
wounds produced by the eagle's
beak. She tried to drive the
bird away and it then attacked
her.
The aged woman was badly
scratched and beaten up by the
bird’s wings. Her husband, at
work near by, attracted by the
rmise of the battle, hurried to his
wife’s relief. The eagle, still de
fiant, remained on the ground
and was killed by Mr. Hall with
a fence rail. It me; ured from
the tip of one wing to the other,
nine feet and is the largest ever
killed in this section.
The eagle is thought to have
come up from the great cypress
swamp on Warrior river.
Pecan Industry To
Raise Price Os Land. 1
; Albany, July 12. —Two big
land deals have just been con-;
*
summated irt Dougherty county
| show that the Albany pecan dis
trict is not to he surpassed by
| other section in its undisputed j
claim of having the largest acre
age devoted to pecan culture in j
the world.
; The Coolawahee place of Col.
0 John P. Fort, of Athens, nine
; miles southwest of Albany, has
been sold to Jesse & Hand, pecan !
| people of Chicago. The place
! contains 3,000 acres, but the pe
can people purchase only 2,500;
acres. The price paid was >sls j
an acre. Developed by the plant- j
ing of paner-shell pecan trees, ;
the property in a few years will
, easily sell for S2OO to S3OO per;
'acre, as has been frequently
j shown in similar developments
! in this famous pecan belt,
i The same firm, Jesse & Hand,
! has purchased the Smut Eye
place, southwest of Albany, 750
acres, from Waxelbaum & Co.,
of Macon, at $12.50 per acre.
This place also will be planted in
; pecans.
■ There are some other large pe
; can property deals pending ini
this section, which, if carried
; through, will add still further to
- the prestige of the Albany pecan
1 district.
Didn’t Enjoy The Glory.
There was a street parade re
cently in London representing a
, Roman pageant, relates the Path
finder. Two ladies stood looking
, on, one telling the other whom
the characters represented.
“This one, ” she said, “is .Iu- i
I lius Caesar. And this one is
Brutus. This next one is—l’m
: not quite sure —I think he is Ap
pius Claudius; anyhow, I’ll ask
. him.”
“Excuse me, sir, hut are you
Appius Claudius?”
“No, mum; I’m un’appy as
j blazes.” j
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913.
Donkeys Bray —Wet Day.
1 Cat’s fur is full of electricity,
I and before a thunderstorm a cat
is always extremelely lively and
playful, probably on account of
it’s electrical condition. Before
rain is expected you will see a
cat assiduously washing its face.
Donkeys will bray loudly and
continuously at the approach of a
; storm. Jf cows lie down in the
'early morning instead of feeding,
or huddle together with their
tails to windward, then there is
rain about.
Like cats, the approach of a
thunderstorm makes cows ex
tremely frisky. They run up and
I down the field and butt imagi
: nary obstacles at such times.
: Sheep turn their heads to the 1
j wind when the day is going to he
fine. But if they graze with
j their tails to windward it is a
sure sign of rain, so experienced
'shepherds say. Like cows, too,
j they show an unusual liveliness
at the approach of a storm. Even
the sedate pig is watched by
country weather prophets; for it
is always uneasy when rain is
coming.
Most birds are restless when a
l change is expected. Rain is in
dicated by guinea fowls and pea
cocks squalling, by parrots
.whistling, and by pigeons return
ing home unusually early.
There is an old rhyme in the
country which is often quoted, !
and which it may he well to re
member. It turns:
“If the cock goes crowing to
bed,
He’ll certainly rise with a
watery head.”
