TO SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS.
y Frank Williams, President Sum.
ter County Farmers Union, Writes
y interestingly OF Farm Conditions.

Since I have been farming. 1 have
never seen so little done toward the
prera-ntion of crop on the 20th
OF March. The large cotton crop last
year. and the unfavorable fall and
winter for E.thsriug II. has prevented
any fall oId winter ploughing
worth mentioning. Some have gone
TO ploughing recently when the land
was too wet and they Will reap
harvest accordingly. All observant
farmers will tell you that II never
pays To plough land when wet. unless
there Is growing crop upon II; and
then, only as a last resort TO keep the
crop from being ruined with weeds
and grass. 1t rs especially disastrous
TO plough land wet before the crop Is
planted on the account of It's being so
hard To get up a stand.
What shall we do? The time has
come for some farmers to begin plant
ing corn. VIII you plant without pre-
paralion OF will you delay the plant
ins II viii never do to think OF plant
ingins without preparing the seed
bed. I am satisfied that the tromen-
Gus crop last year was due In a great
measure to the way the seed bed was
prepared before planting.
Some of you may recall instances
when you ran center furrow and
made a good crop. Put then refresh
en- your minds and see II you didn't
have seasons that year. In my mind
the only thing that Is left for us to
do. Is to reduce our acreage for cot
ton and corn and To- plant later In the
season. Plant corn up to the goth
OF April and cotton up to the Goth OF
May. Then plant the land not plant
ed In corn and cotton In peas. sweet
potatoes. velvet beans and sorghum.

Moroccan CorruptIon.

Two main evils In Morocco are the
corruption or Moorish Off and the
degradation OF Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequateIy paid
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result ia that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings"
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be in store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take Office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to higher power quickly corrupts
them. and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each offi.
cial preys on the one below him, but
