To write the history Of county
like Highland is a large undertake
ing. The examination of the pub
lie records at the county seat is
only a beginning. Highland was
formed from Pendleton and Bath,
and the early records of those coun-
ties must be consulted. But as
Augusta was the parent county of
those two, one must 60 to
the records at Staunton and the
archives at Richmond. Many of
our people can give other informa-
ton, and these persons must be
seen and talked with. Private
records, family Bibles, miscella-
neous papers and old gravestones
also need to be consulted. Certain
books will give still further light.
To accomplish all this takes time,
skill, and patience, and good deal
of all three of these things.

Quoted by a number of state expert
ment stations In the matter Of smudg-

age would seem to indicate that 1t is
not the heat generated by the smudge
or fire that keeps the fruit from freez-
ing, but that the smoke generated
forms a blanket which keeps cold air
from penetrating the smoke zone and
holds down the heat radiating from
the earth. The smudge, according to
this view, is a means Of heat conserva-
ton rather than heat production. 1t
also further serves the purpose OF OBJ
securing the light Of the sun In the

rapid tina wing Of blossoms that may

bed and sows from fifteen to twenty
pounds Of seed per acre with half a

sows fifteen pounds per acre on fertile
land. For fall seeding he prepares the
land and sows in October. TO be used
for hay he finds that sweet clover
should be cut when the first blossoms
appear. before the stalks become
woody. He also reports that the sweet
clover Is an excellent crop with which
to precede alfalfa. as it keeps the land
free from weeds and moculates the
soil with the bacterial life necessary
for the best development Of the alfalfa
plant.
