Guilermo Sc<l on Stuntin uim.
Jan. 20. 1907.
Dear Gents,?
Several months ego the Prcs and Banner
hull a lung piec* about niuutln corn in It. In
tut) sumo article was a request lor experiments
along tne Hue utd a report ol tht
8:i me.
The pinn wan Invented. a? near as l'cn rtceimembur,
hy a muu name Wiiiituuston,
11 v lu noinewhere >>eio Piuni Branch.
Its not necessary lor me to go Into pertlculera
about the plan, ever.ibouy understands
H. The general outline of the plan la suinthlu
like this: P.ant the corn Just like you
Intended to rszo a crop?Just i.'ke you hau
nothln agin It at all, toll it along jest like you
Alius do ?n about the time the corn thinks
you are O K. and begins to show some confidence
lu your farmln abilities, then knock
It square, smack, dab, In the head with a
broad ax.
Them's the salient points of the proposition.
When the corn begins to Rbow signs of life
you must turn your back on It an let the
weede take It. If the eorn shrivels up an
turn" b;ue j ou must grit your teeth an make
out like you dou't glvea rip loroorn no how.
li the com looks no pitliui it gits on joui
nerve1, ihen go fl*hm. Wben tbe crab grass
looks liKe Its coin to carpet itie whole fi?l ai
eat the corn up and makeenuf grass seed to
- ?i ihui
MOW Hll llie iftt ' Q UU lull UJUUU nu rcru ......
pe tlcuier tt?l lo- Itir?y generations, Just makt
oiii like you love or?b tthhs us well us corn at
turn your back. You mustn't go about tbe
norn uutll 11n nearly dead, grnsplng lot
bream,
Just before It tassels out and sings tbe
swan toig.Junt be.'ore It dies dead as a b<-r
i ring you must take a lo< k at It. You tuust
think b< w mean you've treated that corn
you mutt let your sympathies well np in you
for tbe pore spindly stud. You must think 01
bow If) worked and wiggled agatust tbe grass
and weeds to keep all* e. Y< u must g. t your
feellns all worked up to tbe highest pltcn 01
fever beat in a>patby for tbe pore corn an
tben, well you must no at tbat corn like tbt
worl whs out ol seed an every seed would bt
wortb tour dollars a grain next jear. You
will bave to preteud bow sorry you are tbat
tbe corn baa got Into such a fix, and you'll
bave to coddle It an pet It an eueourBge it ao
feed It wltb a spooo.an manure it an plougi
It an boe it an barrow It an beg It an uoox II
an wait on It like you would a political job.
Altera wbile tbe corn begins to tblok tbat
It was all a mistake and mat you think h>
much of It as you do of tbe orab gr>ss. ao
presently she begins to grow. Tben there's a
huir a nnnmi <if fertilizer apd all sorts of
moisture and nutriments that smrt up eacb
lit.le spindly staik, but, lo! there's no piact
for it to go. Tbe stalk has hardened an, growc
tough an can't gro any more. There's only
ooe place for all this bulldin material to go an
tbats Into tbe year, and into tbe i ear she
goes.
A few wet ks later, there they stand row
after row of little spli.dlt-y stalks co biggern
your little tloger an eacn one boldin a year
a yard locgau four Inches lu diameter. There
tbey stand like three year olds trying to carry
a sack of corn. Eacb stalk bending double
with Us load of corn reminding you of Jack
and QUI an the pall of water.
This is the plan In tbe main.
The great wunder Is somebody haddent
discovered this before. Tbe worl' is six
Ibousan' years ole au' nobody lound this
thing out until wnnamnton started to farmin'
below Plum Bianch.

Make Brains, Not Brawn! Tbe greatest
discovery of tbe age! Would you raze
youre son to be a thinker? Tben, stunt 'lm.
Stunt 'lm good an' bard when be 1b young
and wben you bave slanted blm about rtgbi
feed blm until you give blm dispepsla, Indigestion,
gastreatls, apendiseetiB, an' perrytlneetlsan'
If be gets over ltbe'll be all brain
an' no brawu.
Take tbat lmmltable scholar and editor,
Kernel Bacon ol Edgefield. He was stunted
wben be was a boy an' 6ee the result. All
btalD deer frena, ell brain. Take, fur example,
the Hon. Thomas Watson of Georgy. He
weighs ninety odd pounds an' his brain
weighs 16 ounce*! He was stunted wbeu be
was a cblle an' tbe result Is evident. Napoleon
Bonypart was about five feet blith an'
weighed about a buodered, an'bis brain was
so big be wore a Dumber 6 hat! He, too, was
stuntod when he was a kid,?an' In ole France
no man bad tbe everlastln' polltloal pull that
Bonypart bad.

year old cblle to school tbe teacher will drap
yon a note Kindly rtqneetln' which course
yon wish the kid to take?tbe "stunt" or the
"straight," an' then youie trouble will beglo
If yon prefer tbe "stunt" tbe madam will
want tbe "straight," an1 If you like the
straight better, tbe madam will Insist on tbe
stnnt, so tbere yon'll go.
, Some seem to get along tolerable well without
beln' stunted, but tbe majority of my
acquaintances Deed to be stunted. Take Ole
deacon Smith for inslxnce: Tbe ole deaoon
stands six foot four Inches In bis socks an'
weighs two hundred pounds, an' If bis brain
wus all Ink It wuddent dot a 1. Bucb feller
, ougbt to be stunted by all means. They take
up too much room as tbey are an'besides th?t
they ain't got en nf sense to read a animal A,
B, 0, book.
Stunt sncb fell en-? Certainly, stunt 'em,
by all means, stunt'em good an' bard so
they'll take np less room and have more
sense.
To revert to tbe experiment on my oorn I
beg leaf to tender you the nnhappy Information
ibat my com didn't get big enuf to
stnnt. It was stnnted from the stait and
stunted In IbO'end, It oome up stunted an'
d.'ed 8 inn ted.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their tobacco
for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured,

cured; the later discovery and improved
way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheering
and stimulating quality that popularizes
their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex- .
pert tests prove that this flue cured
