which was granted q charter in De-

would build a road within the near
future, will bnild for the Greenville
lnterurban Railway Company an
electric line between Greenville and
Piedmont this spring. This statement
was made by Mr.. H. II. Prince Thurs
day morning. The road will eventual

will also be run to Spartanburg later
on.
company is composed of Mr.. III. H.
Prince, Charles Ellis, W. j. Oliver

Greenville and Spartanburg. The road
construction will be done by the Oil
Ver Construction company which was
given q charter recently, and Of
which Mr.. w. j. Oliver of Knoxville

Over year ago the Greenville In

contract from the Greenville Trac-

company receives the right from
the Greenville Traction company to
operate it's cars on the local street
car lines and to furnish power for
the interurban and agrees to refuse
the right to operate on the local lines
to any other in.erurban railway COM
pany. Since the Greenville Traction
company is now owned by the South

lnterurban Railway company claims
that they have the right to operate
an interurban line into the city which
will prevent the G.. s. and A. from
entering the city over the traction

surveyors are now at work on the
last survey between Greenville and
Piedmont, three surveys having been
made between this city and Piedmont
within the last several years. The

making the last survey between this
city and Piedmont. Mr.. F.. r. Weller
or Washington, ID. c., will have the
chief supervision of the surveying and

IRRIGATION FOR AN ORCHARD
Watering of Trees During First Sea-
son After Transplanting Done
Through Burrows.

Gently sloping land is preferred IT.
rigated orchards. A fall of ten to
twenty feet to the mile insures good
drainage and the soil is not eroded
by small streams of water. On very
fiat slopes the excess water from ir.
rigation has frequently to be remov-
ed by artificial means and on very
steep slopes the difficulties of apply
ing water are much greater.
Farrow and basis irrigation are the
usual methods employed, but the for
mer is more common. In setting out
land for commercial orchards a sec
ton is usually divided first into ten
acre tracts. The lateral bitches sup
ply the divisions, and individual
owners control the respective tracts
When the width of driveways is
deducted the length of the tract by
trees is seldom more than 600 feet
This distance governs the length OF
the burrows. The watering of orch
ard trees during the first season after
transplanting is most commonly done
through two burrows spaced four feet
on each side of the tree. AS the roots
expand more burrows are necessary.

SELECTING GOOD SEED CORN
Little Practice Will Enable One to
Become Quick and Reliable Judge
Points to Study.

With a little practice one can be-
come a quick and reliable judge Of an
ear of corn suitable for seed. But 1t
will be necessary to study such points
as trueness to type, shape OF ears, color
of kernels, tips and butts of ears. uni
formity of kernels, shape of kernels,
space between kernels and the per
cent. of grain to the cob. Briefly 1t
should be stated that the rows of kerr
nels should be straight, running from
butt to tip; the kernels wedge-shaped,
thus insuring a large per cent. of the
corn on the cob. The burrows, or
the space between the kernels, should
be narrow; the grains deep. the cob
comparatively small The color of the
kernels should be uniform. having no
indication of a mixed variety All ears
that show immaturity or rotted ker-
nels should be eliminated, and espe-
cial care should be taken to select
ears with large germs. The fact should
be borne in mind that large yield
requires ears that are well filled and
as few nubbins and barren stalks as
possible. 1t costs as much to produce
nubbins as'it does good ears, and or
dinarily 20 bushels to the acre will
cost as much work and other expense
as 40, hence the economy of increas-
ing the yield.

In the raising Of ducks and geese
the feathers represent one of the

are worth something and should be
