our lecturers for the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, will
arrive in Edgefeld on Thursday
morning for a days rest. While
here, she will be the guest of Mrs.

Mrs. Atkins will not make any
public address while on this visit,
but has expressed her desire to meet
the ladies Of Edgefeld. Mrs. B. b.
Jones has very kindly offered the
use of her spacious home on Main
street for such a meeting at IL
o'clock on Thursday morning. All
the ladies of Edgefeld are cordially
invited to come and meet Mrs. At
kins and hear her talk. She is one
of the most winsome, loyable and
cultured of women and will delight
and inspire all who see and hear her.
No other inducement should be.
necessary to insure the presence of
every good woman in our town.

Mrs. Atkins would be difficult to

rived, about ten minutes were spent
in getting partners and at the right
table on which the progressive
games were played. Each table had
different games and by the tap Of a
bell 25 couples ranging between
fourteen and twenty began the pro-
gressive games. An opportunity to
60 to all the II tables was given.

The bad roads, the bad roads! is

And in this connection, / want to
say, that if all farmers and residents

genuity, the energy, the patriotism
of Mr.. w. w. Fowler of our vicin-
age, our roads would be fairly good,
Notwithstanding the rainy weather.
Mr.. Fowler made him some time
ago split-log-drag, that anybody
could make, who owns hatchet,
augur and saw, and has dragged the
public road that passes through his
plantation once or twice, when the
roads begin to dry off, and the
doubter need only to travel this
road to be convinced of Its utility.
What are our county commission
ers for? Couldn't they adopt this
simple device that is spoken of and
illustrated in nearly all our agricul-
tural Journals? Is Edgefeld and her
people content to be mossbacked
and fossilized one hundred years
behind some of our sister counties?
Say, gentlemen, please quit trying
so hard to get votes, come over to
see Mr.. Fowler, learn TO do some
thing for lis, and the votes will
take care of themselves. To learn
how to make and use split-log-
drag will get you votes.

fertile will it be.
How to Make Good Home for Bacteria.

How to Make Good Home for Bacteria.
We find that bacterial life is most
active when there exists free ac-
cess of air to the soil, when that
soil is moist but not saturated with
water, when its temperature ranges
from so to 80 degrees and when
that soil is neither decidedly acid
nor alkaline. Again, in order that
they may live and thrive, these or
ganisms, must have an abundance
Of decaying vegetable matter on
which to live and there must be
present in the soil a certain amount
of free lime. Mark the statement:
"decaying vegetable NATTER" not
decayed. Vegetable matter that
has already decayed is not a food
for bacterial organisms and hence
some soils, filled with decayed vege-
table matter are still not productive.
If we will bring about these ideal
conditions for the activity of these
little friends then we will have a
fertile sofia soil that will give us
the maximum yields with the mini
mum expenditure of money for ar
tifcial plant food. But to do this
we must plow our soil deeply and
often, we must drain it where need
ed, we must incorporate in it con-
stantly new amounts of vegetable
matter, we must correct any acidity
that may be present by the judi
cious use of lime,
The vegetable matter, besides
supplying food to our workers,
keeps the soil more open SO that
there is free access of air, and at
the same time it so improves its Ca
pillary condition that the proper
amount of water will be supplied
and there will be no danger of its
becoming so dry that this bacterial
activity will cease. This vegetable
matter also acids in adding to the
warmth of che soil, thus making
our friends more active.
Making Plant Food Available.
Let us understand, then, that the
most sctiye agent IN our soil tend
ing to fertility is this same bacterial
life and bend all of our energies to-
wards conserving and encouraging
it. Should we, through the help of
these bacteria succeed in exhaust
ing all of this material in the layers
that we are using, remember that
just under those layers is mine of
plant food that so far has been un-
touched and all that is necessary is
to bring this unused fertility up
within reach of our plants, set our
friends, the bacteria, to work in
celebrating it, and we will have as
fertile soil as we started with, es-
pecially as regards its supply of
potash and phosphoric aciu.
Now, in our efforts to keep these
friends supplied with plant food re-
member we have been constantly
plowlng under quantities of vegeta-
BILE matter. If we have had the
wisdom to get the vegetable matter
by the growing of legumes, then
we have been gathering nitrogen
from the air and adding it to our
soil and the question of buying plant
food in the form of commercial fer
tilizers should be reduced to one of
adding a small quantity of imme-
diately available food to keep our
plants active until that thati is stor-
ed in the earth can be set free.

MAY RAISE SUGAR

auspices Of the board of agriculture
in seven centers in England. The
boards report has now been issued,
and is decidedly encouraging for those
concerned in the experiment in East
Anglia mentioned above The conclu-
sion Of the board of agriculture says
definitely:
There is no question that beets
with high sugar content can be grown
in this country and give yields equal
ing, II not exceeding, those obtained
on the continent"
The report points out that "in no
case did the crops receive more atten-
ton than would be given to growing
mangolds or swedes by a farmer of
ordinary skill. In no case was sub
soiling carried out, a practice which
on the Continent is regarded as indis-
pensable 1t is therefore significant
to learn that the average yield of SUI
gar beets in Prussia did not exceed
six tons an acre, figure only slightly
in excess of the yields obtained at the
Devon or Essex stations, which have
been characterized as failures in view
of the better results obtained at the
other stations"
The venture of course has still to
be regarded as experimental. 1t has
been proved beyond question that SUI
gar beets will grow in England as we'll
as on the continent. 1t may be taken
as beyond controversy that the crop
| is generally suitable to English soil.
