KING OF ALL "RAINMAKERS"
[ 8ccr?t of Succc?a of Solly Gre?ncvp>
Who l? Weil Remembered in the
W??t, Was S:m|,,c.
Cl\?u an Ingonlou* mind niifi Mil <\ve
to business, u live man cau 1*1:1 k ?? at on*
ey out of almost uny ol<! thing,
lvihaps \t>u remember the ? -Mr. (ordi
nary suceess seored peine years ago
by Solly (Ireeiuup. the rainmaker. If
not, you i'uh read his record in a port
folio of newspaper dippings collected
nil tbu way from Nome to San Olefro,
from eastern Oregon to western Kail*
sa*. y
Solly (I re en cup, Indeed. occupied for
h while a position unique In the a una In
of meteorology, Scientists might doubt
and cynics might kco(T. but whenever
Solly went after the rain clouds he al
ways got 'em. Moreover he didnt
work on "the beadn-lw in. tHll|r^OU*
lose" principle of aoine other rnininak
ers, Solly Oreencup, when he once de
cided lu* could produce rain In a sriyen
district, always backed hi* opinion
with hard cash. If he asked the farm
ers to^ put up *1,000 for an Inch of
raliu he put up another fl.OUO himself
as a forfeit in case he failed. And be
always won.
Grecu.cup never explained his meth
ods. All dhe farmers wanted/was the
rain. All Greencup wanted was the
money. With the result both were
satisfied. His apparatus consisted of
a flag pole, an electric battery, a kite
with a metal tall and an air balloon
filled with a mysterious gas. If dcUn-<
tists demanded the reason for these
eontrlVances, he shook his head and
smiled.
Sometimes Greencup would have to
stay n long time In a locality before
he could find the exact combination
necessary to coax the wet forces Into
action, Sometime^ fit had to confess
that the drys were too strong for him.
Hut as soon as he posted his forfeit
and set. up his apparatus the desired
^moisture followed in a few days.
Once in Elslnore valley he gave the
ground a good soaking for a paltry
$2,500, thus saving a $1 ,000.000 grain
crop. Of course he. made a tidy for
tune. yrt at4ho ttrne no one considered
hln charges t^xorbltarit. And everybody
admitted he wtisj a good sport. As be
grew wealthy Greencup never gave
himself frills nor assumed the title of
"professor." These things were after
Ward remembered to Ids credit.
A few years ago Greencup went per
manently out of the rainmaking busi
ness. In a street car accident he lost
his left fooL which had to be ampu
tated above The ankle. After that for
love or money he refused to experi
ment with the weather.
When the secret of his success was
finally revealed some carping moralists
called him mnke-belleve. He never
claimed, like another famous person
age, to be In partnership with the
Almighty. But at least he had done
something tha* nobody In the world
had ever done before. ' ' *
He had capitalized a corn. . f

Jap Industry Hard Hit.
During the war the, Japanese zinc
Industry was very prosperous and
large profits were made on ore which
was Imported from Australia and the
French Indies. The signlnK of the
armistice, however,- has dealt a hard
blow to this industry, and it is reported
that It costs $200 a ton, to produce Jap
anese zinc, while the market price Is
only $187 a ton. It is -expected that
this will result In a request foi sub
sidies and Import protection, since the
deposits of Japanese ore are of such
inferior quality that com petition with
imparled ere cannot be ?et success

I'KOSPKKOl'S WITHOI'T COTTON
Not a llale Kecelved tn (irornia (ity on
a Busy Saturday.
With not 11 bale of cotton brought to
her markej <?n Saturday, a' weak ago,
which -A*. a precedent in the h*H!or> of
the cunvn trinity, as well as the oldest, in
habitants can remember. Marshallville
is not worrying ovei^lhc boll weevil sit
uation. ? >11 the contrary, conditions aiv
fllxiiif uoHuml, ttn>ney plentiful, the banks
rtfe showing excellent statcmentu and
the county treasury is in good condition,
according to 131 ay Taylor. iMarshallville
banker. . who visits. Macon ^ frequently,
says the Macou Telegraph. ? , .
Two banks, having a capitalization of
$.'10,000 each, show nearly a half mil
lion dollar,- deim>sits. to a population of
about 1,000 including whites And negroes.
Tb**re is hardly an acre of land which
can V- 'bought ?and" the price of good
farm laud is around Jwo hundred ami
fift^- dollars tin acre.
This is the explanation, according to
Mr. Taylor: Where cotton was once
the biggest crop of the locality it. in
now the smallest. Marshallville farm
er* will not weigh over 000 bales this
year. In a short while asparagus, the
first "money" crop of the community,
will -be shipped in carload lots all over
the north and dast. Last year the crop,
which was -considered a short one, was
valued .at $00,000. Thlrf^ will be followed
in the wring by peaches, 1,375 acres
of which were shipped hist season fiVmi
Marshallville proper. Peas and velvet
beans are also shipped in quantities.
This- year one scad merchant, I)r. J..O.
Hooton, jyill handle between ten and
fifteen trfriusaml bushels. He has grown
as many as 22,000 bushels of Brabant
; ruii.i '*.?/! ?iLi itl'A ? ' cv:?- ?' ?'
peas iii a season. Ten carloads ?? f vel
vet beans wore shipped fr.Mn Marshall
ville last season. The live stock and
pecan industries are ?k yet in their in
fancy.
A great deal of the success of the fann
ing industry is attributed to the use of
improved farm machinery. * This fall
the sight ?>f the tractors breaking land
is almrist as common as was formerly
that .if the disc plow drawn by mules.
