Preparing the Land.
The farm demonstration work re-
quires thorough preparation Of land
for seeding. The ground must be first
well broken with the plow, torn all to
pieces, and then narrowed. The de-
partment will not have any Of this
thing Of merely plowing out cotton
stalks and putting in fertilizers with
out narrowing.

Wet Flowing.
Reports Of farmers who were In
Yorkville yesterday in attendance on
court are to the effect that there has
been lots of plowing done; but unfor-
tunately much of 1t has been wet. AL
along the roads are to be seen large
slick looking clods, which seem to in
dicate that 1t would have been better
to wait for dryer weather, and which
suggests trouble in the cultivation OF
the crops.

As Or. Williams Sees It.
DR.. c. F. Williams, secretary Of the
state board Of health, on last Friday
gave out the following statement as to
the smallpox situation in the York
cotton mill village: There have been
in this epidemic, in all, twelve cases,
with six deaths. The first case recog-
nized at the mill developed March 2.
1t was a most malignant type and re-
suited in death. Eleven people were
exposed to infection from this case,
nine of whom had never been vaccf-
mated. All Of the nine developed the
disease, but the two who had pre-
viously been successfully vaccinated
escaped. AS soon as a diagnosis was
made in the first case all Of those who
had been exposed were isolated and
kept under observation. A campaign
Of vaccination was Immediately started
and every one was vaccinated and re-
vaccinated. The disease has been con-
fined to the families Of those exposed
to the first case, and only two cases
have developed from the second expo
sure-both of these being mild. We
have every reason to believe now that
the disease is suppressed and that there
will be no spread from these cases.
The disease has been Of the most ma
llgnant type, as shown by its high
mortality, and should be warning to
those who, either negligently or fool
ishly, deny themselves immunity by
vaccination.
