The above petition, signed by nearly
two hundred representative citizens OF
Jefferson county, including ali the clergy
of Charles Town, was presented to the
County Court by Bishop w. L. Gravatt
and others. Now, in lieu of the above
subscriptions, the County Court preferred
that the roads leading TO Keyes' Ferry
Gap and to LaRue's Gap should be built,
so the Shannondale Timber Company,
composed of Logan B. Shut, M. o. Rouss,
John l. Burns, B. F. Langdon and II. c.
GetzendSaner. have guaranteed TO the
County Court the building of these three
and a-half miles of public road under the
supervision and approval of the County
Surveyor, Jas. K. Hendricks.
Now, as has been demonstrated, from
the orders of the county. this bridge can
be built withou! increasing our tax levy
one cent. Our surplus for extraordinary
expenses is now over twenty thousand
dollars per year, and the records of the
County Court show this is the true con-

Receipts from tolls

This report shows that Clarke county
buid two toll bridges over the Shenan-
doah river where il is about the same
size AS at Bloomery, for il receives no
tributary of any size between Castleman's
Ferry and Bloomery. The question men
before the voters OF Jefferson county, is
very plain and simple, namely.
If Clarke county built two bridges over
the Shenandoah river where II IS as large
as at Bloomery, and maintains these two
bridges at yearly cost to the county OF
S634.97, shall Jefferson county issue $oO,-
600 worth of bonds TO build one bridge
and maintain il at a cost OF about s., I5O,
namely. interest on bonds at D per cent,
81. 500, and repairs $3.50, total OF 81, $50?
To every honest man there can be but
one answer 10 this question. An EN-
phatic, MOI
If the bridge is to be built, LET the bond
issue be for what the bridge ought TO
cost, $40, 1000, and let il be toll bridge.
WHY should it be free bridge
Now therefore il behooveS every pa
triotic citizen of Jefferson county to vote
against the bond issue and to use his in
fluence 10 defeat the bond issue. FOR II
The DdlIlOlS SlllLSHo dIS lHNHiSiSHtj tHS
bond issue will be carried, as the inter
ested and jealous advocate of the bond
issue is making personal canvass in be-.
half of the bond issue, using all kinds OF
arguments, as will be seen in his pub
lished appeal.
No man that has the welfare OF the
county at heart or any respect for HIM
self will vote for the bond issue OF $5O,-
600 to build bridge which can be built
for $4,000. And build il for whom ?
For few small farmers and few hum
dred shiftleSS mountain people, the most
of whom have no need Of bridge; and
especially for a few scheming land spec
ulators, 10 enhance the value OF their
mountain land.
This is high tariff, indeed Taxing b.
600 people Tor the benefit OF 300 or 400 at
most, 10 build a bridge to cost 500, 900 in
stead OF $4,000.
To the rescue, every loyal Democrat
and true patriot, and defeat this inlqui,,
tous bond issue. And you will be proud
OF your act all the days of your remaining
life. !. E. TRIPLETT.

thority that Clarke county few years

the treasurer for the year ending Septem-
Der /, 1912. This report shows that me
bond issue was only for $40, OOO, ana tnat
each bridge cost only $50, 600. The re-

The potash should be supplied by sui
phate of potash. One thousand
pounds per acre represents an eco
nomical use of fertilizer Either cot
ton seed or stable manure can be
used to advantage, if too much is not
applied, which will cause too rank
a growth with little sugar in the juice
The commercial fertilizer used should
be applied as the cane grows, just as
with the corn crop.
The planting is done by taking the
stalks that were grown the previous
year and banked and covered with
dirt to protect from freezing in win
ter and placed end to end in rows that
are about four feet wide. If stable
manure or cotton seed is used this
may be placed on top of the planted
commercial fertilizer is used the part
that is used at planting time should
fore planting, so as to prevent injury
from its use Planting should be done
about March LIST.
The cultivation for cane should be
the same as for corn or cotton-fre-
quent, shallow and late.
The harvesting and the making of
syrup or sugar is best learned by ex-
perience, and by watching those who
know how. The process, however, is
simple and easily learned.
Many who make syrup or sugar ex-
perience trouble in making the syrup
of equal thickness, or cooking the
sugar the proper length of time This
is readily remedied by the use of the
hydrometer, which can be bought for
at least $100.
The saving of seed" for the next
year is done by going into the field

=, avery farmer grows some sugar

,rbo syrup of this section is known far
md near for it's fine quality, as is
Evidenced by the fact that growers

,rice and cannot begin to supply the
demand.
Some Sumter county farmers who
have been successful as syrup pro-

Thomas B. Hooks, T. ]. Morgan,
Robert Williams, j. J. Wilson, G. M
Eldridge, D. c. Jones, George Wig

A good crop of sugar cane will yield
from 20 to 80 barrels of syrup per
acre. which. if properly made, should
WELD a net profit of from 5000 to $3.50
Der acre, and even more.
Sugar cane is best adapted to
grow on sandy bottom lands, and there
is some of such land on nearly every
tract of land in this section as large as
200 acres.

ton figure largely in the success with
the growing of sugar cane.
After what has already been said
In articles relative to prepa-
ration and cultivation in the discus
sion of other crops it is hardly nee
essary to say more here. 1t is well.
however, that something be said about
the fertilizing of sugar cane.
The main constituent of sugar cane
IN which we are most interested is the
sugar. Anything that can be done To
increase the percentage of sugar is of
vital interest.
In connection with the discussion of
the corn crop and also the oat and
wheat crops, it was noted that potash
serves to help form and transport
starch, and is, therefore, of much inn
p0rtance in the growth of these crops.
1t is also true that potash serves to
help in the formation and transpor-
tation of sugar Then it becomes a
potent factor in the growing of sugar
cane.
All who have grown sugar cane
and have used potash in the form of
either kainit or muriate of potash
know that the juice is sweeter. But
there is serious objection to the use
of either and particularly the former,
as the juice is salty and the syrup is
also affected If muriate of potash is
used in moderate quantity there is
little or no effect. The best form of
potash to use, however, is sulphate
of potash, which does not salt the
cane.
A fertilizer having an analysis of
8 per cent phosphoric acid, per cent
nitrogen and Z per cent. potash is ex-
ceptionally good, as a rule, for cane.

ton. The asparagus grown there, and
about Americas, is of an exceedingly
tender variety, of fine color, attractive
shape, and very succulent. Those to
whom it has been shipped in the
North report that it has met with fav-
or at the hands of discriminating
dealers and consumers.
Having practically the same soil
and climate conditions as those pre-
vailing in the Marshallville neighbor-
hood, it is but a matter of time when
asparagus culture will be taken up
with avidity in Sumter county and be-
come one of the features of its varied

ASPARAGUS is one of the most
promising of the new crops of this
section While no especial efforts
have been made in it's cultivation in
Sumter county much success has fol-
lowed efforts with it at Marshallville,
+hirty-six miles to the north of Ameri-
Gus AT that point asparagus has now
become a commercial product to such
an extent as to secure car load rates
10 Northern and Western markets, and
with the rapid increase in acreage de-
voted to it the prospects are highly
favorable for it's attaining sufficient

gus ought to net 500 per acre.
UNLESS a man intends to fertilize
and work his asparagus he need not
go into it, for he will be disappointed,
for one crate of first class "Grass
will bring more in the market than
three poor ones. In fact good Grass
will bring good prices, when poor will
not pay expense.
Asparagus is a paying crop for this
section. The Northern and Western
markets will take all the first class, at
paying prices, they can get

1t will cost about 500 per acre to
bring it into bearing. The asparagus
requires to be kept clean of all weeds
and grass. To help pay expenses of
cultivation, cotton may be planted be-
tween the rows for the first year. 1t
requires very heavy fertilization; in
fact one cannot make it too rich.

One of the most successful growers
at Marshallville, contributes the fol-
lowing to the Forward Edition:
THE best land for asparagus is a
sandy soil, deep before it strikes hard
clay, as, at the time of setting out, the
roots should be planted ten inches be-
low the surface. The plants should
not be covered with more than two or
three inches of dirt; gradually work.
