THE VALLEY FAIR

1nOS0 VINO nave aLt0nOeO past
fairs at Monte Vista will recall
with distinct pleasure the exhibit
ton of a magnificent coach horse
made by r. w. Everitt of Villa
Grove. This year Mr.. Everitt at
considerable expense, will exhibit
six standard bred horses, including
coach and saddle horses from Ken
lucky, which feature in itself will
prove of unusual interest. And
speaking of horses, all the old
closed stalls we're spoken for sew
eral days ago by racing men, and
number of new ones are being
built to accommodate all corners.
The interest in the speed contests
is far ahead of previous years and
"steppers" from outside the Valley
are expected to compete with those
of home towns.
Grand stand room has been
materially increased and a seating
capacity has boon provided for
1000 people. The track and ball
ground are being put in frst-class
condition and all preparations are
expected to be complete in
ample time to avoid any confusion
on the opening day.
The agricultural exhibit is ex-
pected to be ahead of previous
years, as there is plenty Of material
for record breaking displays. and
the committee with this feature in
charge has been giving oonsidera.

Base ball games, horse races,
balloon races and other amuse.
ments are being arranged a. rap

ment feature Of the Fair will be
complete and varied.
Not the least interesting feature
OF the Fair will be the electrical
house exhibit furnished by the

Of electric devices for the home:

NEED THE MONEY.

Those who have not paid the first
four installments OF their subscrip-

should make an effort TO do so at
once. The fifth and last installment
VIII be due October 1st and the AS
sociation not only needs all that is
due now but will need the final in
stallment on October 1st.
Since the resumption Of work on
the building, under the direction OF
the building committee, following the
failure of the Blue Ridge Construc.
ton Company and the forfeiture of
the contract the erection Of the
building has progressed rapidly and
the brick work will be completed
within few weeks The building
committee has TO pay for material as
the work proceeds and there is IA heavy
pay roll for workmen to be met each
week. This calls for great deal Of
money and unless subscribers who
are in arrears in the payment Of
their pledges come forward the

Immigrants From This Country.

Shawnee. Okla, Sept. 6.-This
years cotton crop will be sold for II
cents during September and October.
10 cents thereafter. This was the
agreement reached tonight by the
cotton growers of the South attend
ing the National Farmers union meet
ing here.
Little of the proceedings of the
union was made public today al
though the price the farmers ask for
their cotton, good roads, parcels post
and dabbling in cotton futures were
discussed by the convention.
Members of the union say the par
cells post will be favored by the farm
ers and that they will indorse the
Scott "anti-gambling" bill, prohibit
ing the use Of mail or interstate com
merce for the furthering Of contracts
for the delivery of cotton where there
is no intent to mako actual delivery.
The report of the live stock com
mission urges diversified farming and
stock raising and contains the state-
ment that one million additional
milk cows and an equal number Of
mother sows properly distributed
through the South would easily add
$40 per bale TO the price of the cot
ton crop"
The congressional immigration
committee recommends increasing
the head tax, excluding illiterare ad-
ults from America and the fining Of
foreign steamers for bringing to this
country undesirable immigrants.
: The action which was unanimous
was taken in the adoption oe the re-
port Of special committee on mini
mum price. The committee was COM
posed of cotton growers who were
largely influenced by scores Of mes
sages from all parts of the South,
many Of which urged a minimum of

Will Probably Break Records Judg-
ing from August Sales.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 6.-That
the cotton crop Of Texas will prob
ably break all records is indicated in
the number of bales received at Gal
weston for the month Of August. Dur
ing the month, 200, 900 bales, valued
at SIS, $50, ,OO0 were received. This
breaks all records at the Galveston
port for the month of August Last
years August receipts were 1888
bales, and the next largest August
receipts We're 129.S1O bales in 1908.
Comparing the receipts of both July
and August Of this year with that Of
each year since 1906, when the State
produced more than 1000, 600 bales,
the indications are that this years
crop Will exceed by several hundred
thousand bales any crop ever pro-
duced in the State. While the crop
is short in certain sections. in others
ii is very heavy, and those in touch
with conditions predict that the
Texas crop this year vii! be more
than one-third Of an cotton produced
in the United States.

LIME AS A SOIL INIPROVER.
Clemson Extension Work - Article
81.

Lime Is not a fertilizer but what is
termed an Amendment" because it
brings about effects in the soil that
make the plant food already present
more valuable. 1t sweetens acid
soils, bringing about conditions IA
vorable for the increase Of the mi
cro-organisms that are helpful. These
micro organisms decompose organic
matter and liberates the plant food
which is stored therein so that it can
be used by the growing crops. Soil
water charged with carhonic acid
which is a product of the breaking
down Of organic matter, is our strong
est natural solvent. In this way
mineral plant food will be dissolved
more rapidly and made available 20
the plant Under certain conditions
lime liberates some potash from rs
insoluble combinations and makes it
available.
Some very desirable physical of-
fects are produced by lime. 1t fIoc-
culates clay causing it to become
more granular and consequently
more open. on the other hand it
tends to cement the sandy soils MAX
ing them less porous
There are three forms Of lime used
for agricultural purposes: quick lime,
waterslacked lime, and carbonate of
lime. The two forms first mention
ed are quickly changed in the soil. or
when long exposed TO the air, to the
carbonate form. The finely ground
limestone rock is already in the car
/ Donate form. The quick lime is
most drastic in its effects. the water
Stacked next. and the carbonate is
mildest Quick lime is the same
whether it is made by burning oyster
ing bear in mind that YOU want
pounds Of actual lime, therefore the
analysis Is OF prime importance. We
advise a liberal application Of the
lime at long intervals, rather than
the use Of a small amount often. We
would use at least ton Of the finely
ground limestone, or of mari or 1000
pounds or more per acre, Of the
quick lime, or Of the so-called agri-
cultural lines which are usually
mixtures Of the quick water Stacked,
and air Stacked lime.
Il is preferable to apply the lime
as long before planting as is prac-
ticahle. Quick lime is somewhat
difficult To handle on account OF its
drastic nature. 1t is best to put this
form in small piles at intervals over
the field and cover with earth. it will
slacke and can then be distributed
without much Inconvenience. Quick
lime, if pure, runs higher in content
Of lime than other forms of lime,
but is more expensive.
When the farmer fully realizes that
lime is an amendment and not
fertilizer, that It acts best in con-
neCtion With an abundant supply OF
organic matter. and. that, if properly
used its beneficial effects are many
1t will find permanent place in our
system Of agriculture. Do not mix
lime with fertilizers that contain a
soluble phosphate or a salt OF am
monia.
This station has COTTON good re-
suits from applications Of lime at
experimental work in the lower part
Of this State
