HOW TO CARE FOR
ALFALFA MEADOWS

1t is sometimes possible and adj
visable to thicken up thin stand
of newly seeded alfalfa by reseeding.
To do this, disk in early the spring,
seeding when the weather is warm
enough to escape hard frosts, cover
ing with spiked toothed harrow.
1t is not advisable or practicable to
attempt to thicken up stand of old
alfalfa, since the younger plants
cannot successfully compete with the
old well established plants. Ii the
old field has become weedy or full
full of grass, it had best be broken
and rotated with some other crop be-
fore being seeded. Generally al
falfa reaches its maximum period of
production in four or five years and
fields this old should be rotated.
1t pays to cultivate alfalfa just as it
pays to cultivate any other crop and
after the first seasons growth, cult.
vation should be given every spring.
The first cultivation might better be
done with spiked toothed harrow,
but as the surface becomes harder
and the plants better established,
disk should be run over the GROUND
to loosen the surface deeper and
split the crowns.
The presence of fresh air in th'
soil is necessary IN order to insure
the best development of alfalfa
The roots must breathe and they re
qulre oxygen the same as those o
other plants, and the alfalfa bacten
, in the tubercles of the roots mus
have nitrogen in order to perform
, their function of formnitrates whic
I are food to the plant as well a

pail bearers at her funeral.
She was an exemplary woman,
who had the respect of all. A
kind neighbor, a devoted wife and
a fond mother, always alert and
anxious for the welfare of those she
loved, even to the extent that she
may-like many another noble
woman-be regarded as martyr
to her sense of duty towards her
dear ones.
Besides a grief stricken husband
and a family of children that any
woman might well be proud Of, she
leaves two brothers, eight sisters
and host of other relatives and
friends TO mourn her sudden aud
unt,mely taking away.

ROBSON NAMED
CHIEF OF POLICE

The council met in regular ses-
sion ednesday night with the
mayor presiding and all councilmen
present except Sullivan.
The question of whether or not
the offices of chief of police and
road overser should be segregated,
was the first question tackled,
and after considerable discussion, it
was decided in the negative. The
matter was compromised by Officer
Robson, who has been acting as
epecial police for several months,
agreeing to acce;t the appointment
of chief of police at salary of $75
month, and to receive $25 a month
additional salary, during the three
or four months he is also officiating
as road overseer.
The mayor thereupon appointed
Mr.. Robson as chief of police and
his appointment was promptly con
firmed.

TALKING ABOUT BIG DAY
Merchants Preparing to Entertain
Largest Crowd Here i'm Many a Day
on November 29th.

The merchants are all busy getting
ready for the entertainment of the
large crowds who are expected here
to help in "Sumter's Seaboard Sele-
bration."
Speaking Of the big day Saturday
morning, one merchant said he was
confident Sumter would have more
visitors. and visitors from a larger
territory than She had probably
ever had before. He based his opin-
ion on the attractions offered for the
day and the thorough way in which
II had been advertised. Secretarv
Smell has seen to it that every high
way and byway for miles around is
properly decorated with Sumter liter
ature, the railroad agents along the
new road are all supplied with ad-
vertising matter about the big day
and Friday afternoon nearly 1000
sample copies Of the Sumter Watch
man and Southron containing the at
fractions offered for the day were
mailed out to points from which
crowds are expected on "Seaboard

ripping the Food and Drugs Act.

The Journal OF the American Mod
lcal Association, discussing the Nc
Cabe-W Dunlap conspiracy TO
oust DR.. Wiley from the Bureau Of
Chemistry, says that the Food and
Drugs Act was seriously crippled
both by the inadequacy Of the punish
ment meted out to it's violators and
by the interminable delay in bring
Ing cases to trial. Good examples Of
the laws delay are found in two no.
tices Of judgment recently published.
one OF these records a case in which
an offense committed in January.
1910. finally came to trial in April,
1912. The public document giving in
formation about this case was not
issued until September 81, 1912. The
other case described was one Of mis-
brading committed in August, 1910,
and brought to trial in April. 1912.
The public was given information
about this case September 81 1912.
Both Of these were clear-cut cases of
mlsbranding. In one, the defendant
declined to contest the charge. and
was let off with the mere payment Of
costs; in the other, a plea of guilty
was entered and a fine Of five dollars
was imposed. How much Of a deter
rent is a law which is so enforced that
1t may take " , years or more for a
given case TO come to trial and when
hnally brought to trial results in a
mere nominal fine? One Of the best
preventives against law violation is
newspaper publicity. Many firms Of
the large and respected" type which,
under present conditions, do not hesi-
tate to misbrand or adulterate foods
and drugs, would think twice about
doing SO If they found that the news
papers OF the country would give
wide publicity to their trial and con-
viction for such misdemeanors. But
the average live newspaper does not
want to deal with facts that have be-
come ancient history before they
reach the public. There are moro
ways of killing a cat than by drown
ing it, and there are more ways Of
killing law than by failing to en-
force it,

Distribution of American Manufac-
turcs.
ITO BIZ CONT1NUED)

The wide distribution Of American
manufactures Is illustrated by some
recent figures Of the statistical di-
vision Of the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce showing the va
riety Of articles exported and the
numerous countries to which they arc
distributed. Barbed wire, fly paper,
telephones. boots and Shoes automo-
biies, wire nails, motion picture films,
lying machines. telegraph instru-
metns locks, hinges, raZors, bath tubs,
traction engines operated by steam,
traction engines operated by gasoline,
stationary engines operated by steam,
stationary engines operated by gaso-
line, stationary engines operated by
gas. electric locomotives, elevators,
cotton gins, cash registers, and cream
separators-these are a few Of The
numerous products of American in
genuity distributed literally over the
entire civilized world.
Take wire nails as an example. They
went last year to no less than sixty
countries scattered over the entire in
habitated portions Of the globe
Siam, the Canary Islands, the Dutch
East Indies. the British East Indies,
Russia in Europe. Russia in Asia,
Hongkong. Egypt, the French West
Indies; and practically every country
Of North America, South America.
and Asia knows the American wire
nail by practical experience, since
they as we'll as many other commu-
mites are included in the list OF sixty
countries and colonies to which the
100000 900 pounds Of wire nails ex-
ported last year were sent
American telephones and telegraph
instruments went to such distant
places as British Africa, Egypt, Aus
tralia, New Zcland, the Philippines,
Java, Brazil. Korea. and the Canary
Islands. The value Of scientific in
struments and apparatus, including
telephones, telegraph Instruments, etc,
exported last year was over $4,000
600 and the countries to which they
were sent approximately ninety in
number. distributed to all parts of the
civilized world, practically $1,000
600, 100000 worth to Cuba, $4,5OO, 600
worth to Canada, and $500, 600
worth to the United Kingdom, while
among the other countries and COM
munities to which they were distri-
buted are siam. Portuguese Africa,
Ecuador, the straits settlements,
Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru,
Asiatic Russia and Bolivia.
Even such a comparatively unim-
portant article of commerce as fly
paper went to approximately seventy
five countries and colonies, including
Tripol, Uruguay. Santo Domingo
Turkey in Europe, the Danish West
Indies. Malta, Finland, China, Egypt
Roumania, and Gibraltar. American
