oCoNEE TO LOSE CLEMSON ?
"Voter" Does Not Think Petition
Represents Public Sestiment.

Pen,iietor, Nov. 22.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: We notice in the last
issue of The Courier an article head
ed "Oconee to Lose Clemson2"
Clemson comprises part of the ter
rftory of School Districts Nos. 80 and
33 of Oconee county. The freehold
ers OF this territory, by signing pro
per petition in the majority, and
showing cause why 1t should have an
election to be transferred from Oco-
nee to Anderson county, can cause tho
removal upon majority of the vot-
ers casting their votes favorably to
that end. The petition, however.
fails to state any real object in view
OF the request for an election or any
reason for the desired change, and
there is no good reason.
| am personally acquainted with
the entire population and know all
the free-holders, and l can say with
out fear OF contradiction that at least
one-half of those whose names are
signed to the petition to the Cover
nor do not own a foot of land IN this
territory, and about one-fifth OF the
free-holders signed this petition. In
our opinion, it was presented chiefly
to those known to be favorable to
the removal. .."r ...s.
than any county in the State 1t is
just at present beginning to develop
its resources in good, productive soils
and an abundant supply of building
materials, and IL has an excellent cli-
mate. Clemson Is equally distant
from Anderson and Walhalla, and
there is nothing to be gained on that
score. The entire scope OF Districts
32 and "3 Is about an equal distance
from either court house. Oconee has
spent immense sums for the benefit
OF this territory, and we have equally
as good roads as any other part OF
the county. Anderson county won.
do any moce for us than Oconee has
done and will do.
We need few more financially
well-founded enterprises, which will
help us along as one OF the leading
sections of South Carolina. While
| there is no cause for a dispute about
Clemson being removed, there iS
| more talk among our near neighbors
than among the Inhabitants i,f Dis
| tricts 80 and 33 of Oconee or this Pc
titioned territory. We are well sat-
| isfied with our condition, and hope To
| remain in Oconee.
| Anderson Is an energetic, progress
sive county, with a broad area, while
| Oconee Is smaller and undevelopsd.
and we look for Anderson county to
be In sympathy with us. While OcO-
nee has spent large amounts OF
money which have proven of more
benefit to Anderson county than to
Oconee, and especially in and on the
borders of Districts 80 and 80, An
| derson has stood by us at the same
| time, and we have a natural cause for
| Anderson to be in sympathy with us
! instead Of wanting to decrease our
| territory. But the whole secret is,
we are all satisfied and are going to
vote to remain in our old Oconee
homes. Voter.

ROOM FOR MORE FARMERS.

When farmers are prospecting some
of them become discouraged and want
to sell out and 60 to some Eldorado in
the north, south, east or west with
the expectation of making a great deal
more money easier and quicker in a
new location, than is possible in their
present location. 1t may be true that
there are instances where it is policy
for man to go west, or up to the
northwest, but the man who owns a
good farm in North Dakota the Bread
Basket of the World" and especially
here in this fertile Mouse River Valley
cannot better himself by changing To-
cations. There is not a state in the
union or country in the northwest
that can beat good old North Dakota
for stock raising, wheat, oats, and all
other grains and grasses, vegetables,
and its richness of soil. The unsuc-
cessful farmer here makes a mistake
by selling and moving away. Let us
encourage our people to stay in our
own town and on our farms What we
want is to cut up our farms and make
more of them and get more settlers in
the country.

CREAM SEPARATOR THE BEST.

In order to settle an argument as to
the value of cream separator on the
farm, X. B. Syverson and Andrew
Hanson, two of our progressive and
up-to-date formers. living south of
town, appointed Ben. Hauge as arbitr-
ator and the following test was made:
Syverson owns a cream separator and
Hanson skins by hand. The two herds
and fodder were judged equal. Butter
was made from one gallon of cream
from each herd and the cream which
was separated by machinery produced
6 IL pounds, just one half pound
more per gallon than the hand skim.
med cream. -.
Besides this the separator butter
was better, there was less work con-
nected with both sklmming and churn
ing and there was more skinned milk
for feeding purposes. All showing that
the cream separator is a good paying
investment in every way for the farm

LAND v1sDox.

T. NJ Rourks Of Lisbon, N. D., is
convinced that farmers are too land
avaricious. He says:
Last week, in passing through the
stump lands of northern Minnesota,
CHANGED to talk with a farmer who had
grown rich on twenty acres of land
Not knowing this l asked him if he
could make living on twenty acres
and he replied. "People of moderate
means should not farm too much land.
A man can start on 20 acres, 40 acres
will do, 80 acres is enough, 100 acres
an abundance, 800 acres a misfortune
and $40 acres a calamity" Thinking
this matter over since, have come to
the conclusion that he was right. For
every calamity bowler we have had in
Ransom county in the last twenty
years, if you will look up the record,
you will find he purchased $40 acres
of land when his financial condition
said, Buy 80 of 100 acres.
It is often with land as it is with
candy. The child always wants more
than enough. a.a.s

WE CAN RAISE WINTER WHEAT,

J. G. Kane sowed seven acres Of
winter wheat Sept. 24th 1908. on sum-
mer fallow. which came up nicely last
fall; it was wintsred Ane and now is
as green as grass. He thinks it should
nave been put in the ground about
September LIST, or earlier, but on &C.
count Of tho seed not arriving on that
date it was sowed as above stated.
He advises to SOW it on the sum
mer fallow we'll worked from time Of
blowing and you will have plenty Of
moisture to grow a dne crop before
winter sets in. In case it grows too
big, or you think it is going to grow
too large, turn your horses and cattle
in and let them eat it off, it will make
excellent pasture.
Now, if we can raise winter wheat
here (and no doubt we CAM we can
eliminate nearly all of our weeds and
our work for less horse flesh, which Is
quite saving both in money invested
and the expense of feed and care.

Crswding Horses Too Fast.

JOS. Korgel, owner of the gold
and silver medal farm north of
town, says he never over works his
horses, and is especially careful to
give them plenty Of time, in the
early part of the season. Conse-
qusatly, by the time the season is
half over, the horses are hardened
int the work, and can stand q GER
tain amount of crowding without in
Jury to them. He has never yet
had horse become sore or lame
frDn work, and attributes 1t to the
gse1 caro- that he gives them in
the early part OF tho season. This
Ii point worth considering BY the
farmers who even now are in
fields, some Of whom are crowding
the life out Of tho beasts.

Minneapolis has won victory in
the Packing House fight.
st. Paul had bill in the State Leg
islature to prevent the building Of a
plant within five miles Of the state
University. which is located in Min
neapolis. The House of Representa-
tives killed the bill by a vote of 76 to
80. 20 49, 4. N.
The country members seemed to think
as we do. that st. Paul was Jealous of
the growth of Minneapolis, and took
any excuse she could manufacture to
prevent Minneapolis from getting the
benefit of this big industry. The build
ing of this plant means as much to
the whole Northwest as it does to Min
neapolis and all of Minnesota and Da-
kota will rejoice in the victory, for
it means less freight and a better
market for our live stock.

Second SeasOn-After the last Der.
ries have been gathered burn out the
straw Never mind if 1t does sco:cn
the leaves and seem to damage the
plants. 1t will do them no real harm.
Now scatter on some more old manure
and cultivate thoroughly till fall. The
plants will be getting very thick by
this time and it will be necessary to
tear out and throw away many of
them. Do not leave more than six or
eight plants to the running foot in the
row. Cover with straw in the fall as
was done the previous year and har-
vest crop the following summer,
then pillow up the bed.
New Beds-Since the strawberry
bed does best during the first two
seasons of bearing it is evident that
a new bed should be started every
two years.
