Against High Shoes.

A nationwide movement against
wearing high heel shoes was the plan
inaugurated by Justice Howard, OF
the New York Supreme Court, in ad-
dressing an audience Of women. JUS
tiee Howard said: Wearing high
heel shoes is as barbarous and tor
turing, destructive to health as the
Chinese wooden shoes. 1t is as
heathenish as wearing rings in the
nose or tattooing the face. 1t breeds
an ungainly, deformed race. Have
courage to speak out against this
silly fashion-fashion as destructive
as rum and as deadly as opium"

Senator TllIman Feeble.

Senator B. r. Tillman attended
commencement at Winthrop College,
Rock Hill, s. c., last week, but was
unable to deliver the diplomas to
the graduating class. While the
Senator is nothing like "down and
OUT" he is nevertheless far from
being the original spirit that he for
merly was. He uses a walking cane
in going around and appears to be
very much handicapped by one side
not working well, giving him the ap-
pearance of being gpartially paralyzed
on one side. He was asked to deliver
the diplomas to the graduates, but
on account of his condition had to
decline.

the social functions and the refresh

else the society reporters need to ac-

pass along a highway where corn is

frequently a good field Of corn that

while perhaps the other side would
not make five; and upon inquiry we
almost Invariably find that the farmer
has crimson clover or some other
crop turned down in the spring The
contrast is greater this season than
In other years for the reason that the
weather here has been very dry and
the field where the clover had been
turned in withstood the drouth much
better. II the land has plenty of hu-

when we have little rain. If these dry
seasons are to continue farmers viii

INCREASING HUMUS IN SOIL
II Can Be Seen by Figures Given
Herewith That Task Is Not an
Easy One to Dol


Much soil is lacking IN hnmus and Of
this condition a great deal Is being
written. The reader is likely to con.
clude that he can, within a very few
years, build up large humus con-
tent in his soil 1t can be seen by the
following figures that this is not an
easy thing to do 1t has been found
that not over ten per cent. of the
organic matter plowed under can be
figured on as being converted into
humus. The surface eight inches, Of
the average clay loan weighs approx
imately about 100000 pounds. TAX.
ing the humus content as FIVE per
cent. You would have 100000 pounds
to the acre. If the farmer should
ever turn under four tons of organic
matter per acre annually. it would
take a very: long time to build up a
large humus content.
Fifty years would be short time
in which to accumulate humus to any
extent. and even longer time would
be required If one removes a crop
from time to time. From these figures
one should not conclude that the adj
dition of humus to the soil is not
highly desirable, for 1t Is. 1t can be
seen. however. that at the most we
can do but little more within our
short lives than to maintain the hu-
mus at a certain percentage by fre-
quent green manuring, and by blowing
under everything We can get onto the
land.
