FROM ONE GRAIN OF WHEAT MR. ELLER
COUNTS A YIELD OF 5,472.
Thc finest wheat we havo ever BOOH
was shown us last week. It was grown
by Jas. Eller, on Major Wm. J. Strlb
HHK'H place, near town, and Robt. Miller
presented it to The Courier as a sample
of what Ooonee dirt will do. It. seems
unusual, unreasonable-and, of course,
it is both uneasonable and impossible
to claim a yield of 0,472 bushels from
one bushel of wheat sown, but that is
- the proportionate yield of one uluster of
stalks presented to us. It is figured out
this way: One seed produoed
A duster of. 88 stalks.

produced fren one grain sowed.
In the West, aocordiog to Major Strlb*
ling, four grains to the mesh is consid
ered an excellent yield ; in this seo t ion
two grains to the mesh is a good orop.
AU over this field oan be found large
clusters of stalks with full heads, six
grains to the mesh.
Mr. Eller has five acres of this wheat,
from whioh he expeots to make a record
yield He got the seed from Tennessee
last fall and has given this great multi
plier a fair trial, with the most gratify
ing results. The heads are an average
of five inches ;n length, well filled, and
the grains are fully developed and ma
turing nioely. The yield of this field
will be watched with no little interest by
farmers. Major Stribllng says that he
has seen fine wheat in the West, and that
he has always considered that section
the only real wheat country. This
JSJai'ls practical demonstration on his
farm', however, convinces him that, as
wo have often olaimed, "there's no place
like Oconee." The possibilities are
here; all that is necessary to make the
effort and give nature tho proper assist
ance to equal or excel any section of this
great country.
P. A. Brown, of Wolf Stake, is doing
something in the way of raising a great
rye crop. He reports the selecting of a
large cluster of stalks from one seed
fifteen stalks that average one hundred
graius to the head. This is an increase
of 1,500 per oent. *
These samples, of course, could not be
taken as a basis for estimating tn i crops,
as they aro in each instance abnormal
growths. Both wheat and ryo crops,
however, show unusual proportions aud
promise extraordinary yields.

Thoro are many people who have used

who aro unknown because they have
hesitated about giving a testimonial of

people, however, aro none tho loss friends
of this remedy. They have done much
toward making it a household word by
their personal recommendations to
friends aud neighbors. It is a good

The Nsw Hope Singing.
The all-day singing at New Hope last
Sunday was a success in every pattioular.
It was conducted by Profs. Weams and
Baker, of Piokens, and Profs. Richard
W. < "robbs and J. JP. Morton, of Oconee.
These gentlemen are all splendid singers
and were ably assisted by the people of
New Hope and surrounding communi
ties.
We reached the placo of the singing be
fore Sunday school was over., and lt WW
pleasing to hear the children sing a num
ber of pieces. Their singing surpasses
that of the congregational singing in
many of the ohurohes. The Sunday
Rchool is presided over by Hon. Jos. C.
Alexander, who has been at the helm for
a number of years The ohildren love
him, and the work is a labor of love
with him. The school is a very large
one.
At ll o'olook Kev. W. C. Seaborn, the
pastor, preached an able and instructive
to num. There was a large congregation
of youug people and his discourse was
practically directed to them, and if ad
hered to we are Bure will be of great
benefit in after life.
After dinner, which was bountiful and
sumptuous, and for wbioh the ladies and
maidens of the Now Hope community
bave au enviable reputation for prepar
ing, the people reassembled in tho chu rob
and engaged in singing for several hours.
"Where is Mr. Buggs?" That was the
question from nearly every mouth. He
did not come, and the poople were sorely
disappointed. He was expected to de
liver au address on Sunday school work.
The ohuroh building at this place is a
good one, but is entirely too small to
seat the congregations on regular meet
ing days. A large part of the lumber for
a new building is now on the ground and
on Saturday the last of the logs, from
which to saw the remainder of the lum
ber, were laid down at the saw mill. A
thousand-dollar church is contemplated
and mombors who have a will and a way
say it will bo completed before the end
of tho summer. This is a great work,
and wo wish them much success in their
every undertaking.
Tho day was most pleasantly spent by
all. Late in the afternoon the puople
bogan their homeward journey, feeling
glad that they had been the guests of
such a happy, pleasant and prosperous
people. 0
Tho crops in this sootion are splendid
for tho time of year, .and remarkably
clean, which is evidence of hard work,
and wo aro Bure the farmers will bo re
warded with a bountiful harvest in due
season.
Tho finest cotton we saw was in the
todds ot Clayton Smith, of Flat Shoals,
and ThoB. M. Elrod, of New Hope. The
crop is at a good stand in these fields,
and tho stalks aro twolve to fourteen in
dies high and of a most desirable color.
It was our pleasure to spend a short
while at tho home of lt. L. Boggs. Ile
is the possessor of about thirty stands of
Italian boos. This year ho expects to
gather from each hive about 00 pounds
of honey, making a total of 1,800 pounds
from al) his hives. The boney is readily
markotod at 12} and 15 cents per pound.
(The soul-wood honey soils for 15 cents.)
Thus it will bo soon be will have the
handsome in ?onie of about $225 from bis
boes. Mr. Hoggs handles bis boes on
up-to-date ideas and has very little tiou
bio with thom. Ho has promised to givo
us an article on boo cult ure in tho near
future.
Throughout this section evidences of
prosperity aro ti bo seen on every hand
new buildings of modern design, nicely
painted, and new fields with a good crop
of stumps. Land is steadily advanoing
in price. Eighteen years ago a tract near
Now Hope ohuroh was bought for twenty
five cents per acre, and during last fall
same was sold for over twenty dollars
an aore.
M. A. Wood eondiuds a general mer
chandise business a short distance aho'-o
the churoh. This businoss was incepted
quito recently and bids fair to assume
goodly proportions. F. A. II. S.
