Tobacco outlook for Sumter County brightens despite doubts
Ware Orchard Company writes that Sumter County soils with limestone subsoil are suitable for tobacco, noting two varieties grown on about eight acres. Government experts praise soil and product quality, predicting lucrative returns versus cotton, and inviting farmers to visit the plantation to learn seed beds and cultivation. They envision a local market and a warehouse in Americas with farmer cooperation.

Budding Pecans On Hickories At Brooklyn Heights
Mr. H. W. Smithwick experiments with budding pecan trees on nearby hickories at his Brooklyn Heights home. He hopes to save years in pecan cultivation and has seen strong growth and promising results as pecans attach and thrive high in the hickories. He aims to prove this method can aid landowners and may pursue a cross between hickory and pecan to create a new nut with combined qualities.

Money for Vets May Be Paid in Whole
Americas pensioners who now draw their 7200 dollars quarterly may receive the pension in a lump sum after this year. The new plan, declared in the Atlanta platform, would make annual payments effective January 1, 1909 if the House pension committee’s unanimous recommendation becomes law. The committee favored Mr. Bartlett of Stephens and Mr. Calbeck of Gordon’s bill, repealing the quarterly system and restoring annual payments beginning next year. This marks a shift in sentiment by a legislature that recently changed the law to broad satisfaction.
