beauty. Among the simpler and least expensive are
some Of dotted silk null, with colored flowers.

NEW SHAPES AND ORNAMENTS.
There is quite a variety IN the shape OF the
parasols. as can readily be from the fact that
anywhere from eight to eighteen ribs used in
their construction. Gilded ribs considerably
used. Then the handles give added spice of
variety. Some in enamelled woods: others in
coored beads to match the color of the silk; few
in animal form. including pussy cat heads. cranes

WINTER COVERING.
Splendid Article From Johnston
Farmer Urging Planting of
Legumes For Winter
Cover Crops.

AS the time has arrived for SOW
ing winter covering crops and le-
gumes, we deem it expedient to
make public our observations, expe-
rience and knowledge of the great
necessity of having a growing crop
on the land during the winter, to
prevent teaching and deterioration of
the soil.
:. Many Southern farms are less pro-
ductive every year due principally,
to lack of rotation, our cropping and
entire dependence on commercial
fertilizers, and general depreciation
of the vocation. How many farm
ers do we find in love with the bust
ness? How many farm because
they can't get at anything else, hence
it is necessity? How many farm
ers rotate their crops thoroughly,
allowing the land to replenish its
chemical constituency instead of
growing the same plant year after
year to exhaust that particular ingre-
dent in the soil that produces the
plant and It's fruit?
We find many planting twenty
five to forty acres to the plow. when
as matter of fact fifteen acres prop
erly fertilized and cultivated is a full
crop.
How many buy commercial ferti-
lizers regardless of quality or guam
tity?
We see farmers year after year
using from two to four hundred
pounds of guano containing a high
per cent of phosphoric acid on old
depleted soil with scarcely any hu-
mus except few last years cotton
stalks, making under favorable Cir
cumstances from three to five hun
dred pounds seed cotton per acre.
Does he work? We would say So,
harder than any other class of peo-
pie, but without system or judg--
ment. Complains all the time, and
if there is an ambitious SON or
daughter, circumstances force them
to hunt some other occupation as
j soon asthey reach maturity.
We now reach the gist of ourssub-
ssject, winter covering and legumi-
nous crops. neighbor of ours

showing the good results that can
be obtained from such Union. BY

Revs. NIealing, Littlejohn and Ian
ham. were assisted in the ordination
by two of our deacons, Messrs. Ev.
Mealing and D. E. Lanham.
The family of Mr.. and Mrs. d. E.

learned from an officer<sent out by
the agricultural department, at
Washington, D. c., that one hnshel
of rye sown as a winter covering
plowed under in April is worth to
land as much as ton of standard
guano. While we deem this state
ment extravagant we feel safe in
stating that one bushel of rye sown
in September or October and turned
under in April, is worth FIVE dollars
standard or any other fertilizer say
ing nothing of the lasting benefits.
Any grain is better than nothing.
Every acre you expect to cultivate
another year should have green
covering during the winter. :
As to winter legumes we know
nothing better than hairy vetch and
crimson clover for this section.
There are other vetches and clover
which do we'll in soil with lime in
it. We have made success with a
combination of wheat, oats and
hairy vetch which if planted will
give farmer an abundance of food
for his stock. One bushel of oats,
half bushel of wheat and fifteen
pounds of vetch will produce a great
quantity of hay that is almost COM
plete ration. This forms winter
covering crop, food in abundance
for horses and cattle, land humus and
nitrogen for your soil.
The South spends millions every
year for nitrogen-the atmosphere
is four ffths nitrogen which can be
utilized by allowing these legumes
to do the work, storing away this
important plant food enriching your
soii by natures plan, doubling the
value of your guano, thrilling the
yield of the soil. This process goes
on while you sleep, during rain or
sunshine, or while you are doing
nothing. The farmers slogan
should be SOW wheat, oats and vetch
on your best land, rye and crimson
clover on thin soil.
For summer plant ,soja beans,
velvet beans and pinders. For the
first year about ten pounds of seed,
clover or vetch, is sufficient and
should the resultnot be satisfactory
don't become discouraged as the
soil will have to become inoculated
before complete success.
