KEEP GOOD MULCH WORKING
One % the Great Principles Of Dry
Farming Is TO Prevent Less Of
Water BY Evaporation.

a mulch Is anything applied to The
surface Of the soil primarily for the
purpose Of preventing evaporation ana
occasionally to keep down weeds and
avoid winter killing Of plants. writes
J Freer in the Northwest Farmstead.
There are two general kinds Uf
mulches
Foreign material. such as straw,
leaves. sawdust. manure. stubble and
sand applied to TIE surface
Those composed OF natural soil
modified by tiIage. One of this kind
Is called dust mulch or dust
blanket. and Is simply a layer Of soil
which has been loosened up and dried

a very small part In general farming.

iurs n some localities.

the iooser IL must be 10 give good re-
suits Ordinary soil mulches two to
three inches deep are usually most
effective When a mulch becomes wet
its effectiveness is gone until It dries
out
Light rains and i-rigations on a

cation Of water. because they only

A quantity Of water retained by cub

where water is plentiful than the

One Of the great principles Of dry
farming is TO keep q good mulch on
the soil all the time TO prevent loss
Of water By evaporation.

Democracy of the true Banner County
of South Carolina.
As to the great and brilliant meet
ing of Monday last, we will not de-
scribe it in detail, as we often do such
meetings. 1t. is unnecessary. Our
people were present, and saw with
their own eyes, and heard with their
own ears, and rejoiced in their hearts
of hearts. Well nigh all of our 32
clubs were represented, splendidly
mounted, and many of them wearing
the historical red shirt. And there
were representative citizens-ladles
as well as gentlemen-present from
all sections of our vast county, even
the most distant. Brigadier General
DcnjaIrir E. Nicholson was ihe srand
marshal of the day-a handsome and
knightly man, whose own war record
is high aid clear, and in whose veins
flows the noble blood of the patriotic
Emily Geiger. The Edgefeld Rifles
were en- grande tenue; and the Edisto
Rifles, under their staunch and brave
old leader, Major Lyorand, manfuliy
upheld the honor of the sturdy yeo-
manry. The music was glorious! The
procession was magnificent! And
when Hampton, the greac and good,
mounted the stand, the enthusiasm
rent the heavens. He was followed
by Bonham, and Mackey, and YOU
mans. and Tillman, and Noise, and
Gary, and Sheppard, and representa-
tives of the Register, and the News
and Courier, and the Monitor, and the
Advertiser. And fair women-the
fairest of the fair-and 'decked in all
of fashions bravery-smiled, and
cheered, and waved their lace hand
kerchiefs, and clapped their kidded
hands. And the vast grove was a
grand kaleidoscope of animated beau
ty and ,gallantry.
And all our guests spoke with full
hearts md tongues of fame--nobly,
generously, 1!.ooauently! This week 1t
is totally impossibly 1or US to give
their speeches. Next week it shall be
orr DleaSing duty to do so.
And in every campaign year, in the
great future, let Edgefeld and the
Advertiser put on the Red Shirt. and
mark the day that gave her a glory
as imperishable : as the everlasting
hills.
