We verify believe that one-half OF
the fertilizer and lot manure is vast
ed in this State. The farmer will ap-
ply $50 to 250 pounds Of commercial
fertilizer to the acre and then alioT
the grass to appropriate about half
of it. One-fourth Of the lot manure
is wasted before it is raked up and
composted and when it is put out in
lumpy condition it is still greater
waste. This can be remedied by kill
ing the grass as soon as it comes up
and by taking better care of lot and
stable manure.
Two new rural mail routes will be
put in operation Thursday. May l

The price of -four keeps down so as
to put it in reach of families with
light purses. 1t has been our good
fortune not to be REQUIRED to. buy

! flour we asked Bagwell Brothers for
quotations last Friday. The highest
patent Obelisk is S. rs barrel. A
good straight -four, good enough for
any 'one to eat, is $4.75. That Is
equal to the -four made from good
wheat at our county mills. Another
grade OF good -four they sell at ~ :oo.
We suppose other grocers sell at sim
liar prices.
1t seems that it IL not new Fe =
eral court district that South Caro-
lima wants, but the organization OF q
court in the Western district estab
lished in 1923. Hon. j. I. John son
had bill to divide the State into two
districts. When C. P. Barrett was
tried aud convicted, he in his appeal
claimed that he should be tried in his
own district, the Western, and not
the other. He brought the matter to
light. All that Cons ress has to do is
to provide for court officers and the
machinery necessary for the court.
There is q court house at Greenville.
1t will become necessary to build an
other one. The line runs from Edge
field to Lancaster.
The conditions OF farmers in this
county the last week OF April is
about as follows: Corn very scarce,
cotton generally out of producers
hands, fall sowing of oats killed or
much thinned, about half the wheat
promises fair crop, the other very
light. Preparation and planting have
been pushed and three fourths OF the
corn and cotton were planted by the
last day OF April. Supplies generally
short and liens and hard living and
high prices may be expected, Early
planted corn and sorghum seed began
to come up the II to 25th instant.
Hogs are very scarce. Everything
the farmer has to buyis 80 per cent.
higher than 1T was two years ago, eX-
cept -four which has not advanced
much. The land generally seems to
be in fine condition. Half Of it is
wanting in humus and much Of it was
plowed too wet. 1t will require clean
cultivation and good seasons to make
an abundant crop this year.
