CONTEST BEGINS AUGUST 6.
Beginning of the Great Bible Contest
Drawing Near.

In two weeks our Bible contest
starts. This revival in Bible study
is being welcomed by all the
church IS.
We are glad to have tho co-opera-
ton Of the churches, the pastors and
Sunday school workers, in this i'm
portant undertaking.
The prizes that are offered are in
trinsically valuable, and the diploma
given to all who complete the course
will confer n great honor upon them;
but the greatest prize Of all Is the
study itself; no words can ovcrstate
its value. All teachers Of boys and
girls, say Of fifteen years and over,
should urge them to take up this
course. Adult Bible class teachers
will find this contest to be great
stimulus to their work if they per-
sonally get behind 1t and set the ex-
ample. Many pastors call attention
to tho International Press Bible
Question Club from the pulpit and
urge their people to join and par
ticipate in its benefits. We have no
doubt that the pastors Of Oconee will
not be one whit behind those of other
sections. We have reason to believe
that parents are encouraging their
gro"n-uD children to take this
course. and we urge upon all par
ents to follow the good example
The Kcowee Courier is necessary
for these studies, so order it for
yourself. or a friend. bv using tr

HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Forest Fires Sweep Through Woods
of Northern Ontario.

Toronto, Ont, July 14.-The loss
of life in the Porcupine district from
| Tuesdays fires is known to be seve-
| raj hundred. and the property loss
will reach several millions Of dol
lars. Only three Of the 81 employees
Of the West Dome mine have been
accounted for, and 900 miners, muck
ers, ETC., in the Dome mine have
been suffucated The mines burned
included the Dome, North Dome,
Preston-East Dome, Vipond, Foley,
O'Brien, Philadelphia, United Porcu-
pine, Standard, Imperial, West Dome
and Success
In four short hours, commencing
at 1890 yesterday afternoon, the
fire swept from the Standard mines
through to the shores Of Porcupine
Lake, where it ate up the towns OF
South Porcupine, Pottsville and part
Of Golden City, as we'll as many small
buildings along the lake front. While
some loss Of life occurred in the
vicinity Of Porcupine Lake, the
greatest havoc was wrought around
the main mines, notably West Dome
and Big Dome. There the entrapped
miners, cut off from escape. were
forced to take to the shafts for safe
ty, and penned in by the flames, per-
ished. This was notably true at
Dome and West Dome Mines.
The streets Of South Porcupine are
strewn with dead persons. horses,
dogs and cattle. Along the mine
roads are the charred bodies Of those
overcome trying to escape. OF the
staff Of 300 at the Dome, but a few
were saved and at the West Dome
but three out Of 81 employees are
known to be alive.
Early yesterday morning the
miners saw dense clouds of smoke
to the southwest. where the fires
were raging. They gave small heed.
1t was not until noon that the dense
smoke clouds began to roll over the
Porcupine district. The miners be-
came alarmed. Messengers were
sent out and soon returned with
warnings that the fire was travelling
through the forest at rapid pace
and was licking up many towns.
Shortly after noon the fire had
covered an area of 25 miles in
length and two miles in width.
When the seriousness of the situa-
ton was apparent the fire call was
souned with the Dome mine whistle.
In half an hour the flames were rag
ing on the spot. They swept over
the Foley and OBrien mines, then
jumped to the Preston East Dome
and followed over the Dome, West
Dome and North Dome.
Hundreds fled before the flames,
but the dense clouds Of black smoke
hung very low over the land and
made progress difficult.
Every Hour Adds Horror.
Cobalt, Ont, July 12.-Every
hour adds to the list of dead, in
jured and those rendered destitute
in the fire devastated Porcupine dis
trlct, where the property loss proba-
bly, is more than $2,000,OOO.
The number OF dead in the dis
tricts remains largely a matter Of
conjecture. About 90 bodies have
been buried or designated for ship
ment in the collins being rushed
northward by the carload. How

Of plant food in an available form In
order to yield maximum crops Four
teen or fifteen of the elementary sub
stances enter into the composition of
plants Cultivated soils generally con.
tain a sufficient supply OF all the Gle.
ments necessary to plant growth, ex-
cept potassium. phosphorus and notro-
gen. Mississippi soils contain an
abundance OF potassium in an avail
abe form. Our soils are deficient in
only two elements. nitrogen and phos-
phorus.
A rotation of crops including legum-
nous crops; the eating Of such iegum-
nous crops as lespedea. cowpeas, pea
nuts, soy beans. velvet beans, and the
most available concentrate. cottonseed
meal, by good stock and the applica-
ton of all the manure obtained from
the stock to the soil Will place as
much nitrogen in the soil as Is neces-
sary to produce maximum crops.
We are told in bulletin issued by
the Louisiana station that one acre
of Spanish peanuts grown on compar-
at1vely poor pine land contained l9z
pounds of nitrogen, worth at CONNER
cial fertilizers value at least $40 An
acre of velvet beans contained l9l
pounds and an acre of cowpeas 108
pounds. These crops made from two
to three and half tons OF feedstuffs
richer in food elements than wheat
bran. When such nitrogen gathering
plants can be grown on comparatively
poor pine land and fed to good stock
without serious loss in fertiiiing value,
is there any excuse for poor land and
let me add for not raising all kinds OF
good stock? No country on earth has
such advantages for growing nitrogen
gathering plants and yet no country
makes so little use of them.

Soil on which clover has been turned
is not good for chicory because it con-

The seed must be sown rather
thickly, but covered very thinly in
drills about 90 inches apart. Chicory
is in great demand in all markets and
brings good prices. AS under good
management it will produce from six

TO GRADE UP CATTLE.
Claiborne Parish Practically
Free Of Injurious Tick.
Dipping Vat Has Made II Possible to
Reach That Stage OF Improve
ment-Carload of Aberdeen
Angus Bulls Be imported.

DR.. w. H. Dairymple of the veterin-
airy department of the Louisiana State
University, has issued letter show
ing what Claiborne parish has done
in the way of improving its cattle
breed since the eradication of the cat
tie tick and he urges this as reason
for the eradication of the tick in 9TH
err sections of the state. He says:
in some of our previous communi-
cations we made mention of the fact
that that of the good results of tick
eradication in the parish would be the
possibility of importing bulls of the
improved breeds from other sections
of the country to grade up our cattle,
both beef and dairy stock, without
the danger of their dying from Texas
fever transmitted by the cattle tick.
I'm the parish of Claiborne, where
the work has been going on for some
time, and which is now practically
free of ticks, there is going to be or
ganized a beef cattle growers asso-
citation for the purpose and with the
expectation of placing carload of
Aberdeen Angus bulls in that parish
for the purpose of improving the breed
of their cattle. Here, then, is good
illustration of what tick eradication
can do for a parish. Such a venture
would have been ridiculous, if not i'm
possible, year or two age, on &C
count of the risk of losing everyone
of these animals from tick fever. But
;ch &c NTH 1Iy
free of ticks, the risk has been elimin-
ated, as there are no ticks present Tin
that part of the parish where they
expect to introduce these bulls) to
transmit the fever.
And that which applies to the in
PRODUCTION of beef bulls, may also APP
lily to bulls of the dairy breeds. AS
soon as we rid our parish of ticks,
we can introduce either, or both, with
impunity, to improve both our beef
and dairy industries. But Claiborne
has in the neighborhood of 100 dipping
watts, and without these she would not
have been in the position to consider
the proposition of importing carload
of these fine Angus bulls. 1t is her
freedom from ticks. alone. that has
made this important step possible
This means that in year or two the
parish of Claiborne will be in posi-
ton to ship to any market she thinks
best a grade of beef steers that will
do credit to any market in the coun-
try, and without any quarantine re,
strictions whatever
"The dipping vat has made 1T posi-
BILE for Claiborne parish to reach this
stage of progress. and 1t will do the
same for other parishes. If We will
only hurry things along. Let us
get those public dipping watts 60
ing! The sooner we get to work, the
sooner will we reach the stage of prog.
ress attained by our neighbor in the
northern part of the state. And why
shouldn't the capital parish be lead
er in this important work?
