Euglish Farmers Omit Grain Rai.i,


English Farmers Quit Grain Raising.
The area devoted to the wheat crop
in Great Britain has decreased about
thirteen per cent as compared with
last year. The barley crop also shows
n decrease in acreage. A part of the
land withdrawn from wheat and bar
ley has been devoted to the oat crop,
but the total acreage of all three crops
is the lowest recorded since the official
returns We're first issued thirty-six
years ago, and is Ill acres less than
last years total. Some of the land
withdrawn from the grain crops has
been devoted to specialties. such as
fruits, flowers and vegetables, while
other arens have been turned into
parks, pasturage and moving.

Rev. j. w. Little in trouble.

Charlotte Obse rver 10th inst.
Mr.. Plummer Stewart went
down yesterday to Star, Montgo-
merry county, to appear for Rev.
j. w Little, for whom warrant
had been issued for assault with a
deadly weapon. Rev. Little had
said in sermon, so it was alleged
that any man who sold liquor
would steal quarter off a dead
negro's eye. One Bolin took
this up, because it was a refec-
ton upon his grandfather, who
sold liquor. Bolin made at the
preacher with knife, and the
preacher held him at bay with
stone The warrant was, how
ever, withdrawn without execution

BASEBALL PLAYERS INJURED IN
WRECK.

Bennettsvllle, Aug 11.-There
was an accident on the Coast
Line between Robbins and Lum>
ber about noon today which has
probably cost the life of one
young man and seriously injured
two more. The Darlington base
ball team was coming over
on the accommodation freight to
play at Mccall. Fonr of the
boys were on the top of the CO.
boose when it jumped the track
and turned over. Geo. Williams
or Thompson, was thrown for
ward on top of the passenger
car. The others were dashed to
the ground. William Mclean
of Cheraw was the most serious
ly hurt. His ankle and thigh
were broken, lower bowels torn
and severe confusion caused over
eye. J. White Wilcox of Dar-
Iington had his leg dislocated
at the hip. The shoulder of
Fred Stem of Darlington was
dislocated and his face bruised.
Nobody was inside the caboose.

Many Speeches Made to
Farmers.
DR.. Nesom and Prof. Brodie
Give Good Addresses. Good
Attendance of Prominent
Farmers.
Special to Greenville News.

Special to Greenville News.
Clemson College. Aug. 10
The institute was opened this
morning by Col. j. S. Newman.
The first speaker was DR.. G. E.
Nesom, who discussed contagious
diseases. Distemper in horses Is
about the same as mumps in man.
1t can't be stopped, but must run
its course. The thing to do is to
take good care of the animal. If
the animal has distemper when
young he is then immune. The
swelllngs which appear in this dis
ease should be lanced with a sharp,
clean knife, the blade being run
through large cork till three
fourths of inch protrudes. Dip
the knife in solution of Carbolic
acid before using. Then syringe
the wound every day, injecting a
2 to 5 per cent. solution of car
bolic acid into the wound. Feed
soft, easily digested food.
Farcy is glanders. Fearcy is
mango. Chambers is referred to
in the Bible. South Carolina was
almost free from this disease un.
til the importation of stock from
the West. There is no cure, and
it is best to kill the animal
Symptoms-loss of flesh, inability
to hold out at work or to trot, to-
gether with the fearcy appearance,
the breaklng out of ulcers from
ths knees down.
Texas fever is on the wane. The
disease was discussed at length,
inocculation quarantine, etc., were
fully discussed.
Prof. p. T. Brodie was the Sec
ond speaker, his subject, "Good
Roads" Prof. Brodie has given
great deal of thought to the sub
ject and made clear cut speech.
He described accurately the trans
portation display at the St. Louis
Exposition. He urged the impor
tance of re locating the roads on
the very best beds, looking for-
ward to the macadam roads later
on. Directness must be sacrificed
in order to get grade. A horse
pulls less on a road heightened
twenty times the amout of grade
saved, than he pulls when be
nuts 60 over the hill. -
Drainage was fully discussed
The sand and clay surface roads
have passed beyond the exper:.
mental stage, and are perhaps
equal to the macadam roads, as
has been shown III Richland coun.

The ..r East Muddie.

One mas prediction is about
as good as another's concerning
the final result of the Russo
Japanese war. At present the
outlook for Russia is dark
enough. but it may change later
on, just as happened with Eng.
land aud tho Beers. II Japan
does not, within three months,
force the Russian armies to
capitulate, the Baltic feet of
Russian battleshlps and cruisers
may by making the Northwest
passage, which our Admiral
Melville, an old arctic explorer,
says is practicable, change the
whole scene by gaining posses
sion or control OF the sea. Then
again, both combatants may
fight to financial collapse, Civ.
ing European powers chance
to intervene for peace with hon.
or, all around, and a general
grab-game, as happened after
the war on China by the allied
armies Of the continent, in lea
que with Japan and tho United
States. One thing, however, is
certain The Japanese must
honceforth be reckoned as q
world-power.
Then, after the tragic game is
ended, and peace, through di-
plomacy is concluded, China
will become, as usual, a prob
lem. Mr.. Weale, who writes,
from information on this subject,
in a recent article, says that
"the Chinese are AZ formidable
an enemy of the Russians in
time Of peace as the Japanese in
time of war. In business ability
there is no comparison between
the races. He holds that one
Jap equals 10 Russians, one
two Jews, and one Ohinaman
three Scotchmen. Therefore
one Chinaman is equal to 60
Russians. In Manchuris itself
every day fresh signs may be
eeen by the Intelligent observer
Of how the Russian is being bled
to death by the Chinaman, and
will be ruined in the long run
if he is not more careful-war or
no WARRIOR the Bear is no
match for the Dragon in times
of peace"
According to this statement,
Russia is between two fires, no
matter how she emerges from
the present war. If beaten by
the Japs, her prestige is lost
abroad and her condition at
home will be revolutionary and
volcanic. II she emerges short
of vanquishment and with her
military honor partially saved /,

NARROWING GRAIN TO KILL
WEEDS.

While many of the perennial of many
year weeds, such as Canada thistle and
quack grass, cause serious damage after
obtaining firm foothold, yet the annual
or one year weeds. are most abundant
and cause by far the greatest amount of
damage. The ANIMALS depend entirely
upon seeds for the continued life of the
plant from year to year. One reason
that most Of the weeds are weeds is, that
they produce vast quantities of seeds. It
is said that a single tumbling mustard
plant will produce over million seeds,
enough to seed several acres. With all
OF North Dakota's weeds it is seen at
once that every square foot of soil, to the
depth ofa few inches, contains a large
number of seeds. Every seed has in it a
minute plant with more or less food ma
terial. While in the seed, protected by
the seed coats, the young plant is. not
liable to be injured. As soon as the
seed germinates the young plant has
many troubles; thereof is weak and not
firmly anchored in the soil, the green
leaf surface is small, and the stem is
very weak and easily broken. If the
young plant is disturbed at this stage il
|lssvefy EASILY killed. 4se roots 5scsI,aps
do not go down more than an inch. The
stirring OF the soil to the depth Of an inch
loosens and displaces the fine roots that
obtain moisture for the young plant. The
wind and the sun soon dries out the up
per inch Of the soil and the young plant
or Seeding dries in very short time. If
narrowing the young wheat kills only
five weeds on every square foot, which
would be conservative estimate in at
least many fields, that would mean the
killing Of over 200, 900 in every acre, Ger.
talnly large enough number to make a
difference in the seasons grain crop. The
narrowing that kills the weeds will not
lnjurs the wheat materially, for the wheat
plant is rooted deeper than most of the
weeds and the stem is not so easily
broken. This is not the place to advise.
in regard to the kind of harrow or weed
er to be used. One prominent farmer in
the state fastened two weeders end to-
end, making one weeder "a feet long.
With this one man can cover nearly fifty
acres otground in one day. tits posi-
pie that the grain is liable to some injury
when narrowed at 4 height Of about one
ana one halt inches. At a younger or
older stage it can be done without injury
Besides killing the weeds the dust blank
ct formed by the harrow helps to con
serve the soil moisture. Il. r. Waldron.
