Sutton’s Tobacco Crop.
Mr. Ij. E, Sutton has compli
mented the editor with samples of
Ids tobacco crop and it has the ap
pearance of the finest grade. The
sample is of a golden yellow hue,
and the texture soft and velvety.
He was a novice as a tobacco
grower at the beginning of the
year, but lie determined to experi
ment with it and planted six acres.
I le has given it special care and at
tention, saw that his curing barn
was constructed just right and the
result now, at harvesting time, is
very satisfactory.
From his experiment he has de
duced the facts that to be a suc
cessful t obacco grow er one must be
overlast ingly on the job and give it
proper attention from the prepara
tion of the soil, the seeding of the
plant beds, to the transplanting of
the crop and all the way through
the harvesting and curing season,
which is now on.
Air. Sutton calculates that he
w ill gather s’ooo pounds of merch
antable tobacco from his crop and
l imi it will net him §2OO |>er acre.
He is proud of his start and, with
his present experience, believes he
can make a much greater success
next year, w hen he will plant some
tobacco sure enough.
Mr. Sutton lias donated to the
local Red Cross ten pounds of his
best grade, w hich will be sold and
covered into the treasury.
Gen. Meldrim carried home with
him a sample of this tobacco as a
souvenir of his visit to Pearson.
Growing Hogs.

must be kept growing from birth

Air. W. J. Rowan, from over

are moving rapidly over his way;

“\V T e stand first of all for the de
velopment and betterment of our
county and section,” says the
Grady County Progress. The
thought, at first glance, appears
exceedingly selfish; but upon ma
ture thought it grows into the
very essence of patriotism. “Be
true to thy self,” says an old
adage,” “Then it stands to reason
you cannot be untrue to any one.”
