Dillon. S. C.. Srplcmbtr 16 1909.
C<?ok and Peary have discovered
that the north pole is not
long enough to reach the persimmon.
The north pole will come in
mighty well for the Jones' and
Smiths' when they have their
family reunions.
Mr. Bryan says he believes
Peary and <Y>ok are Democrats?
probably because they are disagreeing
over nothing.
Scientists say the north pole
wobbles around in a space of 30
feet and a 30-foot circle ought to
b- large enough for two.
If it is true that pal'agra is caused
by eating meal made from west
orn corn me iarmers ot tins section
ai\ immune from the disease.
It seems there is nothing the
Pee Dee section won't produce in
abundance. Right here in Dillon
we have only 3,000 inhabitants,
but nevertheless nearly 1,0001
children were enrolled in the public
schools last year.
Away back in the early nine.
. ties the slogan of the dispensary
crowd was "we'll turn the rascals
out." Some graft trials now on
in Columbia would indicate that
they have been doing their best
to carry out the promise.
Which is the l^eal Man?
Immediately upon his return to
civilization Peaty Hashed the
following message to the world:
"Good morning. Delayed by
gale. Don't let Cook story worry
you. Have him nailed."
When shown the message Dr.
Cook said:
"As I said last night when I
heard of Commander Peary's success,
if he says he has been to the
pole I believe him."
The two messages contrast so
strongly that it is easv to pass
judgment upon the characters of
two men, and while The Herald
wonld not essay to say which is the
re^l discoverer of the pole, still
it is inclined to pass the honors
over to Dr. Cook. Peaiy makes
a vicious thrust at his rival, but
Dr. Cook shows the bigness of his
hear and mind by the mildmi
nnered and magnanimous way
in which he receives it. Peary
has hurt his cause badly and the
vituperation and innuendoes he
has heaped upon and hurled at Dr.
Cook will come back on him with
telling force when the real "show
uown comes.
Four Bales to the Acre?
Some t^n years ago an intelligent
and progressive farmer announced
that he was making two
bales of cotton to the acre and his
friends promptly replied that his|
statement ought to be backed by
an affidavit. Since then there
have been as many as three bales
made the acre and now a North
Carolina farmer comes out boldly
and claims th.it he is making four
bales to the acre. In the absence
of any proof to rthe
contrary we must accept the statement
as true, but we would believe
it quicker if this farmer also
had backed his statement by an
affidavit. In the face of these
facts it appears that the cotton industry
has unlimited possibilities.
If the production per acre can be
increased from .two to four l>ales
< in ten years there is every reason
w. "rjriyi.JV 'f'1 VIH1.!*' *
to believe tnat it can be increase
from four to eight in the ne:
ten years. Eight bales to tl
acre does not look as unrenso
able as did four bales ten yea
ago, and in the absence of ar
legislation limiting a farmer to
certain number of bales per ac
there is no telling where it wi
end. We give as our authority f<
the following the Raleig
(N. C.) Progressive Farmer, ar
give notice right here that we a
sume no responsibilitv wbatev
for any of the statements contai
ed therein:
"Mr. R. J. Wentz, of Goo
Creek township, who raised tv
bales of cotton per here last yea
is more anxious to grow more p
aeie than is the average man wl
is growing a third of a bale on ;
acre. Mr* Wentz went last we*
to Wake county for no other pu
pose than to confer with Mr. V
A. Simpkins, who is making foi
bales an acre on his farm, foi
miles southeast of Raleigh. M
o: 1? _ - 1 . ... mm
onupiuns nas two acres wtuch m
Wentz says will make four bal
per acre and fifty acres fro
which two bales an acre will 1
gathered. Mr. Simpkins selec
the seed from the finest stalks (
his two acre "brag patch" wi
which to plant that patch ne
season and then with the remai
ing seed from the "brag patch
he plants his 50-acre field. H
cotton is short jointed, the join
being but about an inch long, tv
bolls to each joint, and Mr. Wen
says that sighting down
limb is just like a trough betwei
the bolls. The first limbs are <
the ground and lie between tl
rows more like vines than limb
The rows are eight feet apart ai
the limbs are lapping in the mi
dies. Stable manure, broadcas
is the fertilizer used by Mr. Sim
kins, and Mr. Wentz states th
ho has. found that to be the be
fertilizer ever put under eottoi
Commercial fertilizer is also ust
at planting time and as top dres
ing. Of course olmvino Jc
Every day a great manv peop
drive out to see the four-bale p<
acre patch. Mr. Wentzsays th<
he is well pleased with his tri]
and that to see a crop of cotto
growing that will yield four halt
per acre is worth what it costs t
travel 150 miles. Mr. Wen)
comes back with his stakes set fc
four bales an' acre. He plante
Simpkins' seed on his four aci
"brag patch" this year and no
withstanding the drouth whic
has injure d the crop he will g<
ten bales from that patch and 1
says that he would have mad
twelve bales or more on it had
not been for dry weather."
