II 10 getting to be wheat sowing
time, and those people who consult
their best interests, will SOW large
quantities Of wheat.
All the money that is being contri-
buted to the celebration Of October T.,
is being put to good and proper
uses; but the committee has not near
ly as much money as it needs.
Mr.. w. C. Mcclure Of Yorkville No.
S, is a crimson clover convert. He
tried 1t last year, got a fairly good
stand, and says 1t turned out to be
the best hay crop he has ever raised.
Mr.. Mcclure is in for another crop next
year.
We are at a loss to know just how
much Importance to attach to soil in
oculation; but we have an idea that
rough manure in sufficient quantity
will come pretty near furnishing all
the incubation that will be needed for
most crops.
Mr.. J. T. Crawford Of McConnells-
vile, one Of the best farmers In the
county, is arranging to SOW fifteen or
twenty acres Of hairy vetch. 1t Is
very much in the way Of an expert
ment; but Mr.. Crawford usually ex-
periments, when he experiments at all,
on quite a large scale.
Mr.. w. II. Herndon, quite an en-
thusiastic farmer Of Yorkville, is
starting in to build up his corn pro-
duction by careful seed selection. He
has not paid a great deal Of attention
to the subject before; but is making
preparations now to get his next crop
from the best seed to be had out of
his present crop.
The object of the Audubon society
is to promote the study Of bird life; to
study the birds that contribute most
to the health, comfort, pleasure and
wealth Of mankind and to protect
them from ruthless destruction. 1t Ia
fact that the bird population Of this
country used to number thousands,
where it now numbers only hundreds
It is a fact that the destruction and
slaughter Of the birds used to be more
general than it is now. There has been
some change for the better. One rea-
son is because the birds have become
so scarce that there is less interest
in their destruction, and another rea-
son is that people have developed a
little more appreciation Of the real
value of the birds.
A family in a neighboring county
was recently afflicted by sickness
When the child died the incidental
kindness of the neighbors was 30 much
out Of the ordinary that the father
and mother Of the dead child felt call
ed upon to make public declaration OF
the fact. People in Abbeville are al
ways kind to the afflicted, and no such
notices or declarations in the newspa-
pers are necessary here. We don't
know however, what sort Of people
live in some other communities and
can only Judge by what we see.-Abbe-
vile Press and Banner.
That is a very proper comment, and
in our judgment 1t applies to other
counties as we'll as Abbeville. 1t is
almost a custom in this county to ac-
knowledge kindnesses Of this kind
through the newspaper. The Enquirer
of course, charges for such notices at
the regular advertising rates, and II
seldom meets with a case where there
Is any objection to paying the price
But really, we do not see any need fol
such Acknowledgements, and when the
advice Of the editor Is asked, he al
ways gives it to that effect. People
are not kind to other people because
of desire to secure public acknowl-
edgment Of that kindness, and a pub
lie acknowledgment can have nc
appreciable weight in such matters
| OF course, where people think differ
emily, they are left free to act as they
please. There Is no harm in such
public acknowledgements, even If there
Is no practical good.
