white teachers of Bamberg county will
be held in the city of Bamberg, possibly
at the Carlisle Fitting SchooD commenc-

structors will be: j. Arthur Virgins,
principal of the Denmark graded school,
and S. W. Reeves, now at Cornell Uni
versity. The courses will be arithmetic,
algebra, history, geography, and English.
earnestly desire that Bamberg's sum
mer school this year be great success.
To this end want the cooperation of
every teacher in the county Last year
the attendance was not near so large as
it should have been, and I hope and ex-
pect to see every white teacher of the
county present every day this year. 1t is
useless for the State to throw away
money to provide these schools unless
the teachers will appreciate them enough
to attend. I feel sure the hospitable citi-
zens of Bamberg will assist In entertain
ing those who attend the school.

Byrd, had the misfortune to break her
right arm at the wrist She had gone up
stairs in the barn to open door fog Mr..
Geo. Quattlebaum, who was hauling in
some oats. The door was tight, and she
pushed so hard that when it came open
she fell out The force of her fall was
broken somewhat by Mr.. Quattlebaum
catching her, but it was sufficient to break
both bones in her wrist. The broken
bones were reset by DR.. Bronson, and the
little sufferer is doing very well.

Senator Mayfield on Wheat Culture.

EDITOR HE DAM6EhU h6nAAD' ~AS
the time for harvesting is at hand, l
thought it might be of interest to your
readers to say few words about the
preparation of the land which is to be
sown to wheat, oats, or rye this fall.
Now is the time to fertilize the lands
economically for next crops. On the
lands sown in small grain, when the grain
is cut, SOW in peas, using one bushel to the
acre. If, however, We are short on peas,
have found the best way is to start four
Dixie Boys on the same lands. Put chill
dren to drop the peas in the first furrow,
and if acid is to be had, let it be sown IN
the same furrow, using about two hun
dred pounds per acre. The other plows
cover and break the land. This method
leaves the land ready for sweeps to be
run between the rows. Drop the peas
about eight to twelve inches apart, five to
six in hill. This enables one to plant
an acre with a peck of seed, and, by
blowing once. the yield will be exceed
ingly good, both of peas and vines. But
prefer to SOW broadcast and scatter the
acid and plow in, and follow with brush
to smooth the land. By drilling peas in
the water furrow of the corn rows, fertll'
izing with acid and blowing with the
corn, the last plowing of the corn SOW
broadcast and sweep in, a good crop viii
usually be had. Sometimes, however
the sun is so hot and the land so dry thai
good catch cannot be had; in sucf
cases the row planted in the water fur
row gives considerable fertilizing. II, in
the corn land when the peas are broad
casted, one hundred to two hundred
pounds of acid or ash element is used, s
fine crop of peas will be grown. On al
lands to be put in wheat or oats next fall
be sure and SOW peas, plow under the
vines and fine crop of volunteer pea:
will come up next spring. have severa
wheat patches on which a good stand o.
volunteer peas are now growing. A:
soon as the grain is cut these vines vii
grow off vigorously and produce croI
of peas or hay, and, fertilizing the land
will 90 on without the expenditure o
labor on my part. By the way, hav'
seen it stated that no pea picker has eve
been invented which will gather pea
successfully. This is mistake. Ever.
| farmer who has moving machine ant
hav rake has "a first-class up-to-date PEI
picker" in the hay rake. Just wait unit
the frosts have killed the vines, thel
while the dew is on drive the rake dow
the corn rows, (gather the corn first
When the sun has dried out the peas s.
that they shatter too much, knock OF
until next morning. This machine is

trial dispelled all doubts. Try farmers
also fertilizing now with peas for tn
grain crop. Where so fertilized M
wheat crop promises to yield twelve t

after cotton, the yield will be less by

attention of farmers to the great value

the fertilizing of every field for the CROP
to be planted this fall and next year.
