HOW no SAVE VETCH SEED.
The Proper Time to Gather the Seed.

Four years ago there were probably
not more than SO fields of vetch in
South Carolina, but every fall has
witnesser wider paintings, and every
spring more successful fields until
now vetch is growing on at least L.
500 farms. The method of growing
vetch Is we'll worked out and no one
need fail if he will use the proper
cultural methods. Farmers Bulletin
529 covers the especial points in vetch
growing and it Is we'll worth the read
ing Of any farmer.
Nearly all our seed is imported
from Europe, and the price has been
higher from year to year. Four years
ago. hairy vetch seed sold at six
cents pound. A year later it cost
eight and nine cents. Two years ago
the farmers paid 10 to IL cents and
last year from 13 to Is cents was as
cheap as it could be bought. The
high price has been discouraging to
some, and although under many con-
ditions Oregon vetch is not success
ful, many have bought it because it
was cheaper, and consequently made
failures.
There is no necessity, however for
farmers to bul foreign-grown seed.
1t can be produced here in South
Carolina as successfully as anywhere,
and If farmers will avail themselves
OF their opportunity there need no,
be pound Of seed imported and the
acreage of vetch can be greatly in
creased.
Hairy vetch natures seed about the
same time that oats ripen Hairy
vetch and oats should be sown to-
gether as the vetch needs the oats
to hold it up. When sowing for seed
30 pounds Of hairy vetch and one
bushel of oats should be sown per
acre. One of the lac varieties of
oats Is best for planting with the
Vetch as it gives more time for the
seed to develop. Ripe seed and
blooms may on a vetch plant at
the same time. The pods that formed
iirst may be open and cast thes eed
oeiCre the last are matured. The
best time, therefore, to cut vetch for
seed, is when there are the most
mhtured pods on the plants. This IS
usually toward the end of the grow
ing season for vetch, or when late
oats are ripe.
The oats and vetch can be cut with
a binder provided the vetch is not
too thick and tangled. On loose soils
the oats and vetch can frequently be
rakcd up without cutting. If all the
crop is not obtained the first time
over raking crosswise will get the re-
mainder. In most cases, however, q
mower should be used.
oats and vetch can be threshed on
an ordinary threshing machine. The
seed Will all come out together. There
are some machines now being mt ON
the market that will separate oats and
Vetch seed. tanning mill may also
be used for this purpose. If there is
the proper proportion OF vetch and
cats, they can be used for seed with
out separating. If there are too
many oats, more vetch seed ner
acre VIII run from three to eight
pu'hels. Considering the price of
see dand the fact that the forage of
oats and vetch when threshed make q
iair quality of hay, it is a good pro-
poitlon. owing to the immaturity Of
some OF the 'etch seed not all will
Gcrninate, but, on the whole, the seed
GLOW as we'll as the imported seed.

Frank Gotch became champion
wrestler of the world April 8, 1908, at
the Dexter Park pavilion, Chicago, be-
fore the largest crowd that had ever
watched a catch-as-catch-can battle,

Russian Lion, in a forfeited match
after more than two hours of strenu-
GUS and heartrending effort. This
match was one of the greatest mat

gave Gotch world fame, disillusioned
him concerning the strength of Hack
enschmidt and made him invincible.
Gotch had heard wonderful tales
concerning the Lion" and his almost
superhuman powers. He was told
that Hack possessed the strength to
tear him limb from limb. He was
cautioned to stay away from his oppo-
nent and wear him down. Gotch be-
lieved these stories and went into the
battle to do or die, but he played a
careful, waiting game.
There was no fall in this match, but
the worlds championship passed to
the Iowan, for Hackenschmidt quit
exhausted. Every ounce of energy
the Lion" possessed had been ex
pended In fighting man his superior
in every department of the ma,

Gotch, advised by Farmer Burns

of utter exhaustion. For nearly two

of the plan to wear Hack down, and
how well 1t succeeded was evident
from the pitiable condition of the
Russian when he begged for draw to
prevent humiliating defeat.
For two long hours the wrestlers
roughed 1t and mixed 1t, Gotch all the
while exerting his pressure on the

sprang forward. There was a shuttle
and struggle toward the ropes.

this mass Of human weight came a
whisper of defeat. Hackenschmidt
had walled his plant that was heard
around the athletic world. He asked
for mercy. Gotch let up and Hacken-
schmidt arose. The crowd gasped
with establishment.
Hackenschmidt refused to come
back for the second bout, thus sur

strength had failed. His wrestling

before Judge Pope. on two counts. He
was postmaster at Golden and was
guilty of embezzlement of postoffice
money to the extent of $525.12 which
was made good by his parents. He

parents bore a good reputation, and
that the culprit was married. He Inn
pressed upon the prisoner the fact that
crime of embezzlement was punish
able by a servitude Of ten years in
the penitentiary. Martinez was SEN

PITCHING WONDERS OF 1912
Managers Of Several Big League
Teams Confronted With Serious
ProbIem--Some Fizzlee.

There is the same old question con-
froDting the managers of several big
league teams, and also the loyal fans
this spring, that hobs up every season.
1t is, will the good young pitchers Of
last season repeat?" 1t is doubtful II
ever before so many young twtrlers
made good in the major leagues as
was the case last year. First year
wonders sometimes repeat, but not
often. Clubs that figure on the same
sort of work from their youngsters are
often cruelty disappointed.
The pitchers who shine for years
are usually those who show gradual
Improvement. Christy Mathewson, Ad-
die Joss, Nap Rucker, Walter Johnson,
Eddie Plank, Chief Bender, Three-Fin-
gered Brown, Joe Wood. Ed Reulbach
and Jack Coombs are of this class.
On the other hand there are King
Cole, Grover Alexander, Russell Ford.
George Chalmers, Babe Adams, Willie
Mitchell and Gene Knapp, as we'll as
others who looked great In their first
year only to fall down one or two
years later Even Vean Gregg was
not as successful in 1912 as he was
the preceding year, when he was the
pitching sensation of the year.
Fords 1910 reward was 26 games
won and 6 lost In 1911 he won %
and lost II. Last year he won Is and
lost 81. King Cole pitched the Cubs
into championship and helped win
the only game taken by the Cubs from
the Athletics. He came back all right

in 1911, but fizzled last year. Babe
Adams was a wonder in 1909, especial
ly in the worlds series against the
Tigers. He has done nothing sensa-
tional since. Alexander and Chalmers
put the Phillies in the race in 1911.
With both hurlers going poorly in 1912
the Phillies never were contenders.
Willie Mitchell won ten straight
games for the Maps In 1910, and for
two years has been trying in vain to
break even. Gene Knapp won IL out
of 20 in 1911. He is now back in the
minors.

TWO HELD FOR TRIAL
ALLEGED ROBBERS OF eTAoE
ARE INDICTED.
Charles White and James D. Harris
Taken from Mogollon to Santa
rs Where They Will be Tried.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Albuquerque, N. M.-United States
Marshal Sec Romero and Deputy
Henry Sena arrived in Albuquerque
from Silver City, having in custody
Charles White and James d. Harris
who are accused of holding up a stage
between Silver City and Mogollon
to tamper with the United States
mails. White and Harris have been in
jail since the hold up and were taken
to Santa Fe. The federal grand jury
recently returned indictments against
them, and they are to be tried in Santa
Fe.
The stage robbery in which White
and Harris are alleged to have figured
was one of the most spectacular oil
the many like affairs that have been
pulled off in the Mogollon country dur.
ing the last decade. White was a
hard working blacksmith in the Mo-
gollons, earning $3.50 per month. Har-
ris was Socorro county deputy
sheriff.
According to the story of the hold
up, it is alleged that White and Harris
pooled together and held up the stage
at lonely spot in the hills. The plot
to pull off tho hold up had been over
heard and the United States mail
sacks sent out on the stage on the day
designated for the robbery were dunn
mics, with nothing of value in them.
Officers secreted in the hills wit
messed the holdup and the capture of
Harris and White followed.

The First by Popular Vote.

Senator Augustus o. Bacon, of Geor.
gia, will have one distinction that will
remain with him through life and be re-
ferred to in all mention of him after
death. He is the first U. s. Senator
10 be elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie. That he is very popular man is
shown in the fact that he was unoppos-
ed for re election, and that notwith-
standing he got very large vote. The
election passed in most satisfactory
manner and marked the beginning of an
era when people and not politicians will
say who shall sit in the seat of the
mighty in the most deliberative body"
on earth.
Considering the fact that many Sena-
tors were said to have bought their cleo
tionsand the disgraceful scandals that
have attended many of them. it is very
strange that the people have submitted
SO long to be ignored. The United States
Senate, though, stood in the way and
blocked popular elections, many of the
members, no doubt, feeling that
change would sound their death knell.
The Senate kas been most unrespon-
spive body to the will of the people, but
change will now directly come over
the spirit of its action, for the members
will be as directly responsible to the
people as are the members of the Lower
House.-W. p. w.

Hard Times.

Every day or two, if you happen to be
on a collecting tour, you strike a man
who gives you the 'hard times" excuse
and claims that money is very tight and
hard to collect A collector struck a
merchant on his rounds the other day,
who gave him the excuse, but admitted
after being questioned that he had plen
ty of money in the bank, but was hold
ing it for fear of ''hard times" and "a
money scarcity nearly always follows a
presidential election, and | don't want
to be caught, as he expressed it, Plen-
ty of money in bank and "hard times ~
You are responsible for the hard times
yourself. If you will pay what you owe
the other man can pay his debts, and
that is the end of hard times" The
entire country was never in a more pros
porous condition. Crops have been es-
pecially good all over the country, gen.
orally, and where few failures have
been recorded in sections, there is more
money in circulation, or rather in the
banks, than ever before. Loosen up
and pay your own debts and then your
neighbor can pay his. Don't hoard your
money for fear Of hard times, for there
will be none. Think this over and the
first collector calling, pay him. This
will enable others to pay their debts.

The Candidate.

A Kentucky editor sizes up the politi-
clans in the following plain language:
'It is very surprising how much the
politicians love the editor when they
want something from the dear people
and how they seem to entirely forget
him after they have gotten what they
want. The newspapers do entirely too
much for the politicians and the politi-
clans do too little for Che editors. The
editors can get along much better with
out the politicians than the politicians
can without the editors, and it is time
in Kentucky that the editors should as
sert themselves, and when politicians
want to advertise themselves make them
pay for it like merchants and the rest of
folks who buy for space at so much a
line or inch"
