guson said but 1 don't want you to
put it in the paper. There may be peo-
pie who would claim it is not So"
Well you don't mind that. What
ever they would say would not affect
the truth. and besides that nobody
would believe them anyway
Thus persuaded. Mr.. Ferguson gave
his experience to the effect that he
broke up his bottom land good with a
disk plow last fall. narrowed 1t with a
disk harrow and planted his corn with
out any manure When the corn came
up he went over it with q cultivatOr
and thinned it out with hoes. At tOs-
Isling time he plowed it and applied
fertilizers, 175 pounds Of high grade
guano on one side and about so pounds
Of nitrate of soda on the other. He
did not remember the analysis Of his
guano In the fall he gathered fifty
three bushels of corn from one meas
ured acre. The best crop this acre had
ever yield before was about thirty five
bushels. From one patch Of a quarter
of an acre he got twenty-five bushels.
Mr.. Ferguson is generally conceded
to be a good farmer. He has had such
la reputation for many years. Good
crops, especially good corn crops, are
quite common with him, and his en-
dorsement of the Williamson plan is not
without significance.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Quite a lot of cotton was brought
to the gin of the Victor Cotton Oil
company Wednesday and yesterday.
Some Of it was good cotton picked last
fall: but most of it was dog tail that
has weathered the whole winter in the
fields.
There are a great many people in
Yorkville who do not understand the
municipal registration law. Because
they have what they know as town
registration certificate, they assume
that they are qualified to vote in all
town elections. They seem to be un-
aware of the fact that the certificates
they now hold are no good. The law
requires a new registration every two
years. The books must be kept omen
ninety days next preceding the gen.
eral municipal election (the election for
mayor and aldermen) and during these
ninety days. every individual who
would participate in the government OF
the town during the next two years
must provide himself with registra-
ton certificate The registration books
are now open, and every citizen should
get a certificate at once.

Sheriff Brown is planning his an
nual campaign against delinquent tax
payers.
The fertilizer movement which has
been somewhat later this season than
usual. is now in full swing. The prob
ability is that there will be as much
fertilizer used as usual.
Mr.. r. e. Dagnall Of Hickory Grove
sends check for fifty cents to pay for
the cow for sale advertisement recent
" published by him, and writes: u
sold my COW all right Tuesday and had
other callers"
From the best information obtainable
the probability is that the trustees OF
the Yorkville Graded school district
will not obey the act requiring them
to refund the taxes collected from the
people living without the district. The
trustees claim that they now have nc
funds for the purpose, and after the
funds Of next year shall have been
used for other purposes, the same claim
will be as valid then as it is now.

ADVERTISING AND PRINTING.

There has been more or less discus
sion in this county of the question of
public advertising, so-called, and pub
lie printing, so-called. in its relation
to patronage. and while The Enquirer
has never seen proper to engage in
what may properly be called quarrel
on the subject. it has from time to time
discussed the matter from the stand
point of business and moral right.
Almost any individual, though he be
ever SO dull of comprehension, may un-
derstand some of the ways in which a
newspaper may be useful to a politician
or a political party. by being keenly
alive to real or imaginary virtues and
blind to sins Of omission and commits
sion. And at the same time 1t is just
as easy to understand how this same
newspaper may be very objectionable
to a politician or political party by
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-13
MAKING CORN.

Hundreds of people have tried the
Williamson theory of corn culture and
been successful and hundreds of others
who have seen it tried continue to re-
main more or less skeptical; but there
is absolutely no question of the fact
that when Mr. Williamson gave his
plan to the world, he conferred a ben
eft the value of which is hardly with
in the limits of conservative estimate.
The Enquirer has printed the testi-
mony of numerous farmers on this
subject; but the story never grows old
and il will not lose its Importance un-
til every corn planter has been fully
converted to the soundness Of the prin-
ciples discovered by Mr.. Williamson.
The features of the Williamson plan
are deep and thorough preparation, nc
fertilization at planting, neglect until
the stalk has been thoroughly stunted
and then work and fertilizing until the
crop is made.
Discussing the situation generally
yesterday with Mr.. VIM. Ferguson, a
substantial farmer. who lives neal
Yorkville, the reporter remarked;
Il suppose you have not tried the
Williamson plan?'
We'll. yes, l have and l haven't
said Mr. Ferguson. | have been work
ing along that line for the last two
years | can't say that 1 have follow
ed Mr.. Williamson directions exactly;
but | have gotten some mighty fine re-
suits"
Tell me about it," the reporter ask
ed.
Il don't mind telling you," Mr.. Fer
