TORRENS LAND SYSTEM
Matter Will Probably Come upin
the General Assembly This Year.

The Torrens land system will
probably come up for considera-
ton at the approaching session
Of the general assembly.
The following from The Char
lotte Observer, will therefore be
of interest:
THE Observer does not intend
to hold up in its fight for an inn
proved North Carolina system
of registering land titles as long
as there is hope Of persuading
the legislature to give the State
a good thing. It is admitted on
all sides that an improved law
is needed. Under the present
system in orde, to sell or mort
gage a piece of land, of say 100
acres, the following things are
necessary:
Cd A lawyer must examine the
titles, at a charge Of say $500
Every new transfer or mort
gage means the same.
(2) A lawyer must draw a new
deed, at an expense OF say $500
| 81 Recording deed Sl.50
A total of %$31. 50
Every time land is sold or
transferredthis expense is charg-
ed, and nothing is guaranteed.
According to!the proposed new
way to transfer Or use leo acres
of land on mortgage i. borrow
money: The State would have
it surveyed, and If necessary
put it through the courts and
give a title guaranteed by the
State. Then in case of sale. de-
liver the new paper for keeps bv
signing it over. In c Sc of use
for mortgage, sign it and hand
it over to the man or banker
loaning the money. 1t is a
private transaction and no pub
licity or expense is incurred un-
less this debt is defaulted.

sometimes called the Australian

manure unless it is thoroughly

sowing of the seed should be
done in the fall, the same as in

In the spring if weed and

should be removed as often as
necessary in order that they do

Under no circumstances should
weeds and grass be allowed to

there are no weeds and grass to

made as often as the plants are

The Growing of Alfalfa in South
Carolina

(ClemSOn College Sulletln.)
Recently there have been a
number of inquiries in regard
to alfalfa received at this office.
Our experiments with this crop
will not warrant our recon-
mending it as a safe one for
this state. Our soils can be
made to grow it, and it is being
done in several sections of the
state, with fairly good results,
but the larger number of failure
and the cost of producing it are
drawbacks to success with this
crop. The farmer can rely with
more certainty on cawpeas, sor-
ghum and peas, and oats and
vetch. With these crops he can
secure better results, and with
less cost:
For those who are contem-
plating the growing Of alfalfa,
one of the best ways of getting
results is to start preparing the
land at least one year previous
to the time of sowing the seed.

In the spring as soon as the

the chapter should work to
make money to erect hand
some monument to the memory
of the brave soldiers who so
gallantly rendered service dur
ing the COS. To this end they
have been striving and the
grand finale was reached at
this special meeting when the
contract was closed for $1,000
monument to be erected within
the next few months. The
design selected is a magnificent
piece of work and is to be finish
ed up in Scotch granite. The
height of this monument will
be thirty-fve feet with a base
nine feet square. The site for
this has not been decided upon
but a committee from the chap

IT WILL BENEFIT The FARMER.

:
One of the greatest advantages
that will accru to the trucking sec
tions of Delaware through the build
ling of the DUPONT Boulevard is
brought to the attention of The Star
by gentleman who is deeply inter-
ested in the development of the State.
He points out that the boulevard
will make the truck farmer practi-
cally Independent OF the transporla-
tion companies for with the swift,
powerful and cOmmOdious autom
bile wagons now coming into general
use the grower of all kinds of table
produce will be able to market his
wares either in Wilmington or Phil
adelphia, without depending upon
anybody but himself for that pur-
pose. The ability to do this will not
only free the small farmer from the
troubles now attending his efforts
to get his products to market in time
to command the best prices, hut the
cost of transportation will be less to
him than it now is.
Furthermore, he will not have to
depend on a commission merchant
to make his sales for him. He can
make the sales himself, no doubt to
better advantage or he can have a
home representative to DO so. and
still be the gamer Farmers living
as far down the State as Dover could
engage in the trucking business and
market their produce in automobile
wagons every day in Philadelphia, !
assuming of course that the boule-
ward will be extended to that city. /
Not only will the farmer profit in |
this way, but his farm will be dou-
bled in value. and the State generally /
will be benefited. Social life in the
rural districts will be improved, and
no longer Will we find the young
men and Young women leaving the
wholesome environment of country |
life to enjoy tue artificial attractions

quent visitors to their city cousins, !.
for the passenger automobile will Il

The country as the top buggy now IS.
All this would perhaps come inlI
ime anyhow, for the good roads
movement will eventually change
he whole face of the country but
he DUPONT Boulevard will hasten
he consumption of this desirable
nd by a score of years Other in
erests and other classes will also be
benefited by its construction, but the
armer and especially the small
armer, should shout for it.
