Ten years ago it was pure meal.
and the analysis was 7 per cent am
monia and ] u per cent potash. 1t
has always been claimed by EXPERTS
that hulls only contained a small per
cent OF potash and no other plant
food at all, and for the past few years
the meal has had sifted out of it 20
to 20 pounds OF hulls to the 100
weight OF sacked stuff (so-called

State experiment station in their re-
port state that they find Z per cent

sible that they We're mistaken at
first, or why is this?
Another matter, If you please:
The local dealers in some parts of the
county say they cannot get nitrate Of
soda, yet the nitrate people are writ
ing to me Offering nitrate at the
prices quoted In January. Keep your
eyes open.
Now Is the time to get your crop
in shape to make a failure. | hear
numbers Of men say they have their
corn from 6 inches up to 81 between
the stalks. am sure there was more
corn lost last year by corn being too
thlck than from any other cause. In

to make from SO to $50 bushels per
acre when the preparation has been
made for 25 to 100 bushels. In five
foot rows corn should be left from

work 10 SOW peas. What a blessing
the pea is TO the South, Look after
the potato crop well. 1t pays more
than any other crop: it is meat and

"HEROES OF PEACE"

The sad accident which occurred
near Walhalla last Saturday. in which
William Richie lost his life. and from
the effects of which Fritz Muller still
lies with life uncertain, brought out
the real characteristics Of true
"heroes of peace"
William Richie. aged sc. risked his
life, and lost It, to save his friend
and neighbours son. Unhesitatingly
he went down into the bowels of the
earth. knowing well the danger with
which his mission was fraught. But
there was a life to be saved and a life
to be risked, and he questioned not
his duty. He was a hero. Duty
called, and the call of duty was 10
him loude and stronger than the
appeals Of a loving wife, whose wo-
mans and mothers instincts doubt
less brought to her a mental picture
OF a scene Of sorrow about to come
to her as a bitter cup running over
There were two other "heroes of
peace on that day-black men with
hearts and steely nerve and strength
OF will. These two cOlored men are
James PruiLt, who rescued young
Fritz Muller and is himself to-day
suffering from the effects Of the nox-
ious gases in but slightly less degree
than the victim he saved, and James
Hunter, who succeeded in getting the
body OF William Richie from, the
depths OF the earth to the light of
day, upon which Mr.. Richie was
never again to look.
Such men as these, be They white
or black. bear names that are wor-
thy OF pe%rpotuation in the records
or h heroes OF peace" and i, is
to be hoped that they will not escape
recognition at the hands Of that great
philanthropiSt, Andrew Carnegie, who
has wisely created a hero fund
from which rewards and medals are
provided for surviving heroes OF
peace and for those dependent upon
such heroes who give their lives in
the great cause Of humanity.

But a good County Fair takes
money, just as anything else that Is
worth the while demands and must
have financial backing. There is
plenty Of money in Oconee, and
plenty in Walhalla. and there Is no
better public way to expend some of
1t than in putting on foot a credita-
bic County Fair.
One Of the three larger towns Of
the county will be the location for
the County Fair. and Walhalla Is the
logical place for 1t. Almost in the
exact geographical center Of the
county, the town of Walhalla offers
that which no other town can offer,
but we need not expect, and we are
sure that our business men will not
expect, hat fact to assure us Of the
landing Of the County Fair. We have
got to do our part financially, and 1t
IS nothing but right that we should
do our full part from the very be-
ginning on to the successful conclu-
sion Of the project. We must take a
lead, not alone In the organization,
the preliminary work and financing,
but in the active operation of the
County Fair.
1T Is worth working for because 1t
will mean much to Oconee, and what
ever means benefit to Oconee means
benefit to US. We have got to get
ourselves thoroughly imbued with
the idea that when we build up Oco-
nee at large we help ourselves just
as surely as when we build up Wal
halla we help Oconee at large. Our
interests are II and the same, and
they are inseparable.
Our farmer friends have started
right. Let US help them. Let tho
Business Mems League Of Walhalia
not await the formal call from the
farmers, but rather let us get to-
gether at once to cooperate with
them, assuring them of our interest
and II intention to put our should
ers to the wheel and help them put
the organization on a sound footins,
financially and in every other respect.
This opening made by the Farmers
Union gives n splendid opportunity
also to the lei individuals di-
rect!y interested in the raising OF fine
poultry to join hands with the farm
ers in this County Fair enterprise.
The organization of a County Poul-
try Association has recently been ag-
itatcd In Walhalla. This new move
mcnt should spur up the ones inter
estcd in poultry to an early organi-
Zation, and they should enlist their
organization heartily with the County
Fair movement.
This proposition must be pushed
through to a successful completion.
Walhalla must be the home of the
County Fair if it is possible to make
1t so.
Let rs have the Fair by all means.
