DOLLAR AND A HALF PER YEAR
Charlton Great Cane Producer
3 000 Galion Yield Improved Jap Cane
A Good Pecan and Hay Harvest.
An output of over 3,000 gallon
of pure new improved Japanese
Syrup has just been completed by
Norman & Coleman, at St. George.
The sample tried out proves it
- to be o fine flavor; delightful to
the taste and uniform in grade.
In discussing th product with Mr.
Norman, he says the advantages
of this new improved varietv are
many, first one planting suffices
for scveu years, growing into a
reod cone brake, with less troukble
ili its cuitivation and the same fer
tilzation ylela a more abundant
ciop. According to a govermem‘
test the syrup producza from this
new Jayanese variety is more eas
ily made, keeps better under the
chavnging climatic conditions, hoids
its natural flavor longer and does
not sour so quickly with eXposure.
Under the cheapening prices
the superior cropping had from
this variety merits investion and a
trial of our cane growers.
Norman & Coleman have found
a ready sale for their product on
_ amarket here it was known'
‘gt a fair profit. It s put in the

' Speaking of cane products. our
own, Mr. J. d. Baker, has presen
ted us with a uew idea in preparing
an edible vroduct—its a “bread
spread” made with a jelly con sis
tency. lis was an enjoyable treat,
and certainly fils it nameasa bread
spread. If it won t sugar ityis a
worth while product. !
Maay Porkers Butchered.
There are good times in Charlton,
for a drive over the county during
the cold snap furnished amply
proof for this statement. It was
hog-kiiling time, and many porker
let out his last squeal :
Ed Shriver k.lled one netting
400 pounbs,
Steve Gibson slaughter six,
Barney Gowen added six more
to what had gone} on before and
with other to follow. \
~ Many others werejkilled and but
few farmers but what nad one or
two hanging up during that snap.
Several smoke house presented
a view that really made ye scribe
feel he ‘was “just a dreaming.”
And we migh} add that home made
ment is hard to beat, and there is
nu question of Charlton being the
kind of a meat producing county,
that can make meat at a low cost
Helping Farmers Out,
Qur friend, Bill Jones, who has
an advertisement in this issue. has
contracted with three of our farm
er friends who butcher native beef
and pork from fields of beans and
_ other crops, and know how to‘
butcher. Messrs. Edgar Mills,
~ Steve Gibson and Pratt Mizell, are
meat producers who are putting a
product on the market eaual to sol
called Western meat. When you
want a nice juicy steak or roast
~ try one from Jones Market, and
' you will appreciate what good
meat we produce at home,

just waiting for a season. He has

fine chickens and several milk
cows, His chief aid has beon Mrs.
ißov and Miss Brockman who have
aided in the pecan harvesting.
