1 Pecan Tree* Productive
The productivity of the- pecan under
favorable conditions if sui |" isin|(.
One grower ne?*i Byron, averaged
sixty pounds a tree on a fiveai
ie grove of KrotchciH. As hia treea
?? 50 feet apart, tins meant 1,200
pounds per acre. Another grower
near Bryon produced over 2,000
pounds of fancy Schleys on u threeacre
plot, Uj considerable part of
which wholesaled at from 60 to 65
cents per pound, and none of which
Mold for less than !W cents.
It appears that cold storage is to be
an important factor in the pecan industry,
as this means the nut season
ran be made to cover the entire year.
As the pecan makes such an unusually
attractive shade tree, every
farm house and every servants house
in the pecan belt should have this
beautiful tree for both shade and
fruit. In fact, the pecan tree is a
rare combination of beauty, comfort
and profit.?Macon Telegraph.
Carrying The Air Mail
Since ('apt. Charles Lindbergh set
ti.r world on fire by bis New YorkParis
flight the question has naturally
been asked: How much money
doc.-, an air mail pilot make'.' The
Ni w York Kvening World answers
t be question by stating that govern-j
tin nt pilots receive flat salaries ranging
from $2,000 to $.',,000, according
to length of sei'v'ice, and in addition,
f 1 \ ing pav of and i cents a mile I
for lay work and double this rate for
night living. The difference in rate
al-o \aiies according to the topography
of the country, flyers crossing

With an army of l??o men, the

of Agriculture have started an

In lighting the beetle some ot the
badly infected trees are cut down,
skidded together with horses, and
||?g[|Kf? bu11ted. Other trees, partially infested,
are peeled standing, by the use of
a long-handled -pud. The bark ot the
tree? forms the shelter for the young
beetles while they are growing and
while transforming from little white
grubs into stout, black, round-bodied
beetles ready to attack other trees.
The infestation, which is one of the
-tiio largest in the count iy, has been extending
southward ,n these forests
for several years, and immense quantities
of timber have been destroyed.

A New Industry or Hotel
Almost daily | ain asked why the
ckumhei of commerce doesn't get a
I new imlu-try or hotel. My answer
to the above inquiiy is thtit we don't
wafit either hail enough. We could
get what we wanted if we went after
t n\ personal contact and would offer
inducements.
Large industries just do not happen
to drop down upon any community.
I hoy must be secured by patient,
hard and persistent work, and !*
backed up by the full co-operation
ot the business men who are willing
to invest money in such projects.
1 his is tlie natural order.
1 he ownei s and oj^rators of cotton
! a. tones and hotels are business
pe>>p.e. They are not out to confer
on one community more than
a not her.
I rere is no reason why Camden
people should content themselves with
heir present status. Many reliable!
gong concerns are right now looking
towards the South for a location.
There are plenty of them. Camden
.its an vantages to offer, more than
ivany other towns. In fact, everything
is in our "favor. There is nothing
the matter with Camden except a
decided lack of confidence and initiative.
We have a good town from all
standpoints, but that is no reason,
why.we should not have a better one.
1 he times and conditions are propitious.
A iecent report shows that the re-'
sources of our three banks are over
three million dollars. This is a good
showing, hut it does not mean that
it is better for the banks, better for
the town and country or better for
tlie depositors for ail this money to
lie dp iiv the banks.
More ^industries mean better times
for all; more business for all trades
and professions and a better market
for farmers. If Camden cannot land
a big mill as an Alabama town has
just secured, by purchasing $200,000
woith of this mill s bonds, and giving
150 acres of land for a site, on which
a two million dollar plant is to "brbuilt.
including 100 homes for operatives.
she can certainly establish a
snia.l industry or locate a hotel,
which would pay well, and put it on
a going basis, with proper business
connections. This is how our present
mills were started, and once established
they will build themselves up ami
grow until they become large and
strong concerns.
Lei us not si, dow n and content ourselves
with what we have. A selfsatisfied
town is a slow town.
Camden has a good start. It should
be easier now to grow than ever before.
But it requires initiative, cooperation
and determination. We
have the money. ^ What will we do?

?*?? I
liy the way, fathers and mothers,
sad because their sons lack college
education, will observe that Lindbergh
went to no university, and
his "prep school" was a plow on his
father's farm. He was a solitary
boy, thinking, enjoying danger and
new things. Robert Westover, p
garage owner in Montana, who once
hired Lindbergh to make parachute
jumps, says, "I don't think he was
lonesome on that trip. Slim Lindbergh
was a peculiar guy. He did
not care for company or any excitement,
except daring stuff. Everything
he had he carried with him,
helmet, goggles and toothbrush
stuffed in the big pockets of his
overalls."
Lindbergh's difficulty now will "be
to find something worth doing that
will not kill him.
Lindbergh proves that deeds of daring*
"mad-cap audacity," seeming
reckless at the time, are of great,
permanent value. It was called reckless
folly when Columbus made his
H^ansutlHiitic ."hop" in the opposite
direction. Cool heads told him lawould
fall over the edge of the ocean,
I and his crew wanted to turn back.
Fulton's experiment with steam,
and Franklin's with the kite, seemed
foolish. Congressmen that voted t->
spend money on Government experiments
with telegraph messages were
beaten for re-election. The voter"had
no use" for a Congressman thai
would vote to waste money.
Lindbergh's feat will find an echo
in the next Congress. It will occur
to some Congressman that if one
man, all alone, could fly from here
to Europe, some thousands might fi\
from Europe or Asia here, and be le-?
weleome than Lindbergh was in Pari-.
The record shows that Lindbergh's
W l ight motor used less than twelve
gallons of gasoline per hour of flying'-and
did better than 100 miles to
the hour. At twenty cents a gallon
I that means about $S1 worth of gasoline,
plus twenty gallons of oil. Not
expensive for a trip to Paris.
Anybody who doubts that airplanes
will carry passengers across the oeean
for less than $50, "all daylight route,"
has little confidence in human ingenuity.
Statistics show this country's income
in 1020 totalled seventy-eight
billion, six hundred and forty-nine

Protessor Nash, teacher of physical
education in New York University,
justly criticises violent exercise for
young girls.
To permit competition for girls in
hurdle races, high jumping and broad
jumping is a crime against the girls
now, and against the future generation.
cv
Girls were not made to jump. They
were made for motherhood, and
should be taught to respect and protect
their complicated machinery.
In the fall "medicinal whiskey"
bourbon and rye, made of corn and
lye, will be manufactured under supervision
of the treasury department.
No whiskey should be suggested
for medicinal purposes. If doctors
say alcohol is necessary, they shodld
use brandy made of grapes. Many
poisons are in grain whiskey, even
carefully made. Real brandy is free
of poisonous oils and other poisons*
unless you call pure alcohol a poison.
W ood alcohol is deadly, potato alcohol
is very poisonous, grain alcohol
less poisonous, grape alcohol safest^
Those that sent threatening letters,
concerning the Sacco and Vanzetti
case, to Governor Fuller did not
frighten the governor. He rejects the
fdggestion of a commission to review
the Sacco and Vanzetti case, saying,
that the responsibility is his. The
governor cannot delegate his authority.
The law provides that the decision
must be made by him.
Governor Fuller will do his owii investigating
and his own deciding.
