large circle of acquaintances. And
most of the acquaintances are close
friends. Everyone he knows is his
friend and he knows somebody IN eV-
cry county and everybody in some
counties.
His most valuable asset is his good
disposition, but hardly less valuable
IS his Justly distinguished appearance.
Without sFHed~ Schumpert lat the
head of the procession with the no
less dignifed sword of state, a visit
from the senate to the house would
fail from a dignified standpoint. Mr..
schumpert was unanimously reelected
sergeant-at-arns at the beginning OF
this session, and in placing his name
in nomination Senator Alan john
stone of Newherry said that with
Fred" Schumpert at it's head the sen
ate could always feel assured that a
triumphant march to the house would
be accompanied by exceeding great
STYLE and dignity. As Senator john
stone is the representative on the floor
of the senate Of the county the "mln-
ister" honors with his presence in the
off season, this disproves "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country"
Mr.. Schumpert has seen many a
senator come and almost as many 60.
In his 16 years of guardianship over
the senate he has given his arm over
1000 times to the presiding officer OF
the senate and always with the same
stately tread that today characterizes
the march of Messrs. Schumpert and
Smith has he escorted the officer to
the chair of state. He has shown sew
eral hundred senators to the bar to
receive the oath of Office and no mat
ter who the senator might be has al
ways lent dignity to this performance.
If South Carolina were State OF
many advocates of woman suffrage
the fact that Fred Schumpert is SER
geant-at-ar1ns of the senate would
cause a tremendous upheaval' in South
Carolina politics, for the women
would want to vote just to give him
an office. With no sacrifice to dignity,
but Just trife more politeness than
usual, the floor manager of the SEN
ate is at his best when the senate is
honored by feminine VISITORS With
Chesterfeldian grace he finds COM
Portable seats for these visitors and
the cordiality with which they are re-
ceived brings them all back again:
No legislative body has better ser
geant-at=arms than J. Fred schum-
pert.

charming effect to the decorations
Cut glass vases of red carnations
adorned the centres of the tables,
and red hearts skillfully arranged
formed a. part of the lovely design.
An attractive feature o. the table de-

propriate to the grave and reverend
seniors.

ed at $50 o'clock, after which the

Crop Values Per Acre in 1910.

Il will be seen from these figures
that the average farm value of the po-
tato is nearly four times that of any
other chop. This being the case. why
should not the potato become the lead
ing crop of this state as well as the
most profitable? The potato may be
grown as cheaply here as anywhere;
its quality is of the best and the local
markets can not be surpassed.
Mr.. Sproul called attention to the
fact the potato requires soil rich
In humus or organic matter. He sug-
gested that the best way to incorpor-
ate this important constituent in the
soil is to pillow under crop of clover,
cow peas, sofa beans, or to apply lib
sral coating of barnyard manure. The
manure should be applied to the crop
Immediately preceding the potatoes.
as 1t will cause scab when applied d.
rectly to the potato field.
Emphasis was laid upon the neces-
sity of using good seed, free from
scab. He suggested that 1t would be
most profitable to the grower to de-
vote small parcel Of land to the
breeding of better seed. In order to
get the best results from any seed
the tubers must be carried over, the
winter in cool place where there is
no danger of freezing If the seed
potatoes are allowed to sprout before
planting their vitality is greatly di-
minished and the yield will be les
sened.
| = An excellent method of storing seed
potatoes is to dig hole about twelve
inches deep in well-drained soil; put
| in the potatoes, mounding them up;
| cover well with straw, then with q
| light coat of earth; after the first
light freeze cover with another coat
of earth, and, when this Is frozen hard
cover the whole with two feet OF
| straw or chaff This will keep the tn.
bers from sprouting until planting
| time.
Mr.. Sproul begins cultivating his
crop before it comes up, following the
rows by the ridge they make. The
| first cultivation is made deep to keep
the soil between the rows loose. This
Is followed by smoothing harrow.
As the plants begin to come up a
weeder is used. From this time until
| the vines are too large the cultiva-
tons are frequent and thorough. 1t is
desired to keep the surface of the soil
/ In the form of dust much to pre-
vent the escape of moisture.
Because of the ravages of the potato
beetle and the prevalence Of blight
spraying Is absolutely necessary for
best results. Bordeaux mixture Of the
$3.50 formula is used, to which 2z
pounds of arsenate Of lead is added
as a poison. The first spraying should
be applied when the vines are eight
inches high, or earlier, If the bugs
make an appearance. About foul
sprayings should be applied. The
poison need not be added after ths
bugs have disappeared.
| The College of Agriculture at Nor
gantown will be glad to advise witt
potato growers as to best methods FOL
this state and to furnish information
in regard to breeding better seed. fer
dHzers, spraying, ETC.. to all whit
