notice or else they thought an old
fossil like me did not know mucn
about the fruit business. consequently
hey are paying for it now. My first
experience with the frost question
happened n -e35 in the State of Jew
York. My folks had fine peach tree
in the back yard, around which my
mother used to throw all her dish wa
ter, while the surplus from the old
wooden pump close by furnished con-
siderable more. During the winter
months this water froze and every
spring about the LIST of April there
was several inches of ice about the
tree and it never bloomed until the
middle of May and we always had a
full crop of choice peaches, VIII
er trees in that section, which did not
have water about the roots bloomed
early and often times the trees bore
no fruit, while our tree was always
loaded. 1t stands to reason if the
roots of the tree are kept cold it will
not bloom as early as one when is ex-
posed to the sun and if the buds are
held back the frost can do no dam
age.
Another sure method of getting a
crop is by mulching which should be
done during the coolest weather and
it is a good time for the hired man
to get in his work to good advantage.
Haul all the surplus litter from the
barn and spread it on thickly about
the trees while the ground is frozen
and this will prevent it from trawing
out 50 early in the spring and will
keep the buds back until after hte
frosts and a full crop of fruit will
be the result.
During my 40 years residence in
this city l have noticed that the tenn
perature varies greatly; for instance,
on the Fourth of July in 1864 or 65,
we had a terrific hail storm and ii
was very cold, something very unus-
ual and / recall few years ago of a
second occurrence of that kind on a
similar celebration which shows that
the climate is likely to cut up caper'
and as this is especially so in the
spring the smudge pot system is not
nearly as reliable as the mulching sys
tenn.

Potato Farming without Farm.

A new method by which potatoes
may be grown in perfectly dark cell
lars, on a table top thinly covered
with dry earth. with no cultivation
and little care, is attracting some a
tention. Light is not only unneces-
sary. but even Objectionable, since it
causes the seed potatoes to sprout,
which prevents the formation of the
new. young tubers. The crop would
seem to be formed entirely from the
substance of the mother potatoes .
yet the total weight is greater, which
shows that the new tubers gain some
thing from their environment-per-
haps from the atmosphere. BY this
new method the potato gardener need
not live in the country. He can car
~ on his gardening in city cellar
and have new potatoes ready for the
market every month in the year. The
potatoes are said to be actually iirmer
than the outdoor kind. of excellent
flavor. and have thin skins that may
be simply washed off. This novel way
of gardening was, we are told, dis
covered by accident in England, and
we find it described in an article con-
tributed to Cosmos paris, March 4)
by Jacques Boyer. We read;
almost all species of potatoes in
good preservation are fitted for this
mode of underground culture, but it
is best to select large tubers without
defects, for the slightest trace of fun

the whole crop. Besides, it is best to

The state has been giving aid to
the high schools at Pickens,

The only Indebtedness incur

There are only two private

but these do not come under the

and none Of the facts or stats
tics embraced in his report refer
to or embrace these schools.
Not knowing the facts it is
safe to estimate that these two

more teachers at an average
salary of $50. per month; that
they enroll 800 or more students
and that their property is worth
over $4,000.
