Farm Demonstration Work.

The United States department of ag-
riculture will soon commence new
line of farm demonstration work in
South Carolina.
The plan the department will carry
out, as stated to this correspondent by
DR.. Spillman, will be to have one ex
pertinent station in each congressional
district of South Carolina, so located
that they may be reached conveniently
from the capitol of the State. The fol-
lowing places have been chosen by the
department for the establishment of
experiment stations:
First congressional district, Manning
I'd district Barnwel: Sd district, An
derson; 4th district, Laurens; 5th dis
trict, Chester; 9Th district Benefits
vile; Tth district will have two sta
tions, one at Columbia and one at
Sumter.
MIR. j. II. Styles will have charge of
this work and his headquarters will be
at the Columbia station. Mr.. Stiles is
an experienced farmer of Mississippi,
being a graduate of the Mississippi
State Agricultural College. For some
time he has been engaged in farm dem
onstation work in Mississippi under the
direction of DR.. Knapp.
Laurens then is to be one of the
seven points in the State selected for
this work.

Laying By Too Early.

Among the many facts observed by
Mr.. j. M. Jenkins, of this city, is that
crops are layed by too early. This OBJ
servaton was noted in recent letter
to DR.. S. A. Knapp and here is the re-
ply:
July 3, 1908.
Mr.. j. Mitchell Jenkins, District Agent,
Laurcns, S. G..
Dear Sir: Your letter of June 29tb is
handed to me on my return to my office
this morning.
You are entirely correct in stating
that most farmers lay by their crops
too early. We have tested it on hur
dreds of farms and find that the later
they cultivate, provided they use shall
low cultivation, the better. We have
sometimes increased the crop one-quar
ter of bale per acre by continuing the
cultivation up until nearly the time of
picking the first bolls. Under boil wee
vii conditions we always insist on late
cultivation. 1t is the only wav to ID
the boil " eevil.
Very truly yours,
S. A. KNAPP,
Special Agent in Charge.

One tablespoonful -four one table

ter, one egg, one teaspoonful salt, one
half teaspoonful ground mustard, one

add slowly one-half cup vinegar, stir
ring all the time. Let bubble again
and it is finished. Pour over cabbage
while hot. Cotton Journal.
Look Ahead.
There are few farmers who are
now planning for small grain this fall.
They have lots that have been run too
long in cotton. The soil is devoid of
humus. 1t is dead sort of soil.
With the addition of So worth of guano
it will make 400 to 500 pounds of seed
cotton. The wise farmer will sow such
lots down and follow with peas. Let
all the poor land be sown down. 1t is
the only way to bring it up. Clay or
sandy lands may be improved in this
way. If there is field in corn or cot
ton that is wanted for one of those
crops next year SOW it in rye in August
or September. BY the middle of March
there ought to be good sod. Turn it
all under with a two-horse plow. Use
the cutaway harrow over it and throw
up shallow bed, not disturbing the
rye sod underneath. The moisture will
be retained and the young roots will
strike down and run out into the vege-
table mould beneath. - Carolina Spar
