In the Fall of 1907 a young

about raiwnjf 51) buwhels of corn
and a bale of-cotton an acre cn
simIs which had been growiig
about 14 buslw ls of com and ICO
to lC pouiuLs of lint cotton. At
that time few men were gruwiaijg
such vitals anl the young man
created a small sensation. - Ills

the work wrm supjrtid entirely
by funds from tlw Department of

cm.tribute one-half of the anon

of tlie lonl ag-ct. The work
itnmerwtcly began to spread
over the State.

frvn the county jail:

In connection with this item it
is interesting to note that Mr.

iifuilt twenty years ago, ami the
second winter Mr. Robinson was
numbered among- the season vis
