What local postoffice authorities describe as the most dastardly act ever brought to their attention was made known here Friday when it was announced that Jos. T. Corkle, a rural . mail carrier, had discovered a rattlesnake coiled in a mail box on his route near Augusta. The lid of the mail box was fastened down securely and a red flag was up. indicating there was mail in the box.' Just as the carrier was about to place his hand in the box, the snake moved his head and was discovered and killed. The rattler was more than two feet long and had a half dozen rattles. , Postoflice inspectors are investigating the affair, but no arrests have been made. McCorkle states that he is not aware of any enemies on his route who would attempt his life in such a manner.?Augusta Chronicle. WILLETT S THIRTV-ACKE FARM. Georgia Man Outlines Formula at Hequest ot' Col. H. 1>. Calhoun. Col. Harry D. Calhoun, president of the Home Bank of Barnwell, asked X. L. Willett, of Augusta, to outline a programme for a 30-acre farm, beginning October 1st, 1921, and ending about October 1st, 1922. .Mr. Willett's formula was published in Monday's issue of the Augusta Chron* A ^ ^ 11 ft Arl MaI Art' f Ar f A lcie auu icyiuuuicu uciun wi m*. information of readers of this paper: Banker Harry D. Calhoun, of Barnwell, Sout^ Carolina, asked me to write a twelve month's formula for a thirty acre farm. This is a difficult job. Many good formulas might be written. All of them might be valuable in these times. But I have set down a middle-of-the-road one, giving a combination, carrying, I hope, financial safety and some money returns and doing it all with a minimum amount of guano. I presuppose that the land is fairly good and that there is already corn and feed on the place. I pre-suppose too, that aside from the thirty acres of farm lands there must be at least one acre set aside for a garaen?ror tnis is necessary. Mr. Calhoun asks for seed prices?I, however, do not wholly give these for planting in the spring. One Acre Garden, tor the fall garden plant one-half acre in turnips?half a pound of Yellow Globd and half a pound of Purple Top White Globe, total $1.00; and plant the balance as follows: five hundred cabbage plants in three foot rows one foot in the row and thin out and eat during fall and winter, thus giving the full grown plants two feet in the row?total cost of plants $2.00; one fourth pound of beets, 30 cents; drill thinly one pound of rape at zu cents ior repeated cuttings for greens for the table and also for the chickens; one fourth of a pound of carrots, 30 ^ents; and two quarts of onion sets, 40 cents. For the spring garden on the same one acre plant snap beans, making two plantings, one early and one about August the first, one quart] each time, total for the two plantings $1.00; butter beans, Sieva, one quart, j 50-cents; okra four ounces, 15 cents; one-fourth pound of squash at 25 cents; one ounce tomatoes 25 cents; four ounces Xew Zealand spinach, 40 cents?this will give greens throughout the whole summer; 1,000 cabbage plants, $2.00, one plant to parh font in the row. thin out; half pound of Southern Prize spring turnips 25 cents. The fall garden seed will thus cost $4.20 and the spring garden. $5.00 for the acre. October First Field Planting. By October the first 1921 have all cotton and corn stalks out of the way. Plat No. 1.?Ten acres. Plant October the first a mixture of twenty pounds of Hairy Vetch at 13 cents and ten pounds of Crimson Clover at 12 cents, total $3.80 per acre or $28.00 for the ten acres. In the spring some of this may be cut for hay if necessary but it is better to turn these legumes under and plant, say by April tbe tentn, nve acres in Cleveland cotton seed and then calcium arsenate it from May until September with the hopes of making four bales without guano. Plant the other five acres to Whaley's corn and plant in the middles 18 inches apart Hundred Day velvets; pick velvet pods, soak and feed same and graze vines and corn stalks in winter. Plat Xo. 2.?Five acres.- Plant October the first these five acres to Winter Beardless Barley Xo. 50 (productive in grain and fine hay). Plant nnp and rme-hfllf bushels Der acre at $2.00 a bushel, total cost of seed $15.00. Cut one acre for hay in April and let four acres go to seed and thresh and soak and feed the grains to horses and hens, or if no hay is cut use the whole five acres in1 this way. Some of these threshed grains likewise could be made matters of sale. When this beardless barley is off the ground, say late in May, plant these five acres in SixEar Corn and put in the middles cow peas, let peas mature, gather, thresh and sell the peas and turn under the vines. Plat No. 3.?Fifteen acres. Sow by ^ - i - t ^ r? A y* A ~ f A UCtODer llie ill si miccu ati C5 iu Fulghum oats, one and one-half bushels per acre at, say $1.00 per bushel, making total cost $22.50. Thresh and use grain or sell seed. An# after these oats are off, say late; in May, plant one acre to sweet potatoes, sell some early potatoes and plant this ground at once in vines; let the balance go to full maturity. Plant one acre, say five pounds, in Brown Top Millet, graze it or make hay of it or green cut it. The balance of the thirteen acres plant in White Spanish peanuts, eight inches in the row. Thresh or pick in winter from the stack the peanuts and sell the crop and save the tops for peanut hay for selling. Plant all ditches and all waste places everywhere in Kaffir corn and sun-flower and use the heads of same for home chicken feed throughout the year. Two thousand heads of i I AS BAI> AS EGYPT OF OLD. Mosquito Plague I>escends Upon j Providence, B. I., Also. Thousands of Providence people are being exposed to serious discomfort by the plague of mosquitoes, declares the Providence Journal, that has descended upon the city. The authorities blame neighbor communities for the presence of the pests, ahd unquestionably the accusations, in the main, are just. But are they doing everyhting possible to rid Providence of the insects' breeding places? Undeniably the situation as to ponds, catch basins, stagnant pools and other spots in which mosquitoes deposit their eggs for hatching must be watched closely inside the city as well as outside. Everybody can help in this fi?ht to the finish. Land owners can drain pools on their property, nr nek thp citv's aid in doins: it. Householders can keep the eaves of their dwellings free so that water will not colleet'in them. They should see, too, that tin cans and other' receptacles are not allowed to stand about in which the pests may lay eggs. They should also take pains to report places in their neighborhood which they have good reason to suspect as being mosquito incubators. Moreover, those persons, particularly some medical authorities, who have been disposed to minimize the nuisance, might also withhold comment and lend a hand. The city is entitled to such protection from the pest as modern science and unflagging industry can insure. Looks That Way. An Italian was among a party of young men working on a road when a smartly dressed young fellow in a motor car went by slowly: He had a young lady with him and ?to show off?he yelled out to the Italian: "Hey, macaroni, Where's your monkey?" j Quick as a flash the brawny Genoese yelled back: "I give him a day off, mister, and I think he's taken his best girl out joy ridin in a section hand car!" What Counts. "I perceive," said the Highbrow, af ter witnessing his first ball game, "that success in this sport can be attained only by perfect cooperation among the players each subordinating his own individuality to that of the organization of which he is a part." "You may be right at that," replied tbe lowbrow, "but the main thing is team work."?New York Sun. Kaffir corn would not be too much and one thousand of sunflower. , Kaffir corn heads can also De used too, as separated from the heads, for horse feed, and sunflower seed have a market. The above outline completes the thirty acres, both for fall and spring planting. Livestock. The farm is not an economic one nor a livable one without livestock. Many far-seeing landlords are pursu ing the following. They rent out'; livestock, taking each year rent in . kind. For example, a cow in milk, j f1i? t-olrincr ac rant aanh vAflr a big calf. He rents out a certain amount of hogs, taking rent in kind and he puts out, say twenty chickens and takes rent in chickens and eggs. The thirty acre man can use all of these matters for selling purposes or for home use and it gives him employment the year round on the place. About the Home. To complete the above outfit I j should add ten grafted pecan trees which in three feet sire can be had at $1.00 each, say $10.00: and ten fruit trees for about $6.00, made up of peaches, apples; figs and plums. In later years these pecans ought to | ' return five to ten dollars per tree. The above outline is a land upbuildS er and it keeps the farmer busy throughout twelve months. It introduces two new crops, viz, Spanish peanuts as a successor to cotton as a money crop: it introduces Winter Beardless barley, exceedingly productive, beardlass and safe to use, never winter killed and makes more grazing and far better hay than rye ?indeed, its hay equals Timothy;'it also produces grains late in spring when most needed and which grains as soaked equal corn, bushel for bushel, as feed. It introduces Brown Top Millet which is an incomparable annual summer grazer. If there is not sufficient grazing to keep it down j or if dry weather intervenes, and the j plant is about to go into the boot it j must be mowed back: kept back it j will grow for grazing until frost. The above formula in certain soils; might need for the grain plat a cer-! tain amount of acid phosphate in the fall and nitrate of soda in the spring. i This comment in today's Chronicle: will he mailed to about one hundred of the banks of Georgia and South!
