Card From Mr.. Gaines.

Editor Advertiser: Leaving Or
angeburg with my family in tour
ing car on last Thursday morning.
we made rapid time and found tray
cling delightful till we passed Al
ken, then being heavily loaded, the
sand hindered our progress 80 that
it took us as long to finish the last
twenty miles Of our journey as 1t
had to come the former sixty or
seventy miles from Orangeburg:
We finally stuck fast in deep sand
bed near the home of Mr.. W. A.
Pardue; and but for the kindly as
sistance of himself and family we
would really have suffered.
Now we are pleasantly located
for the summer near the Plank
Road" If it were true to its name'
we should ask no better situation,
but when we think of going any
where, we are confronted by the
problem of sand, sand, sand!
Travelling for three years over
the roads of Orangeburg county has
completely spoiled me, and has Inn,
pressed me as nothing else could
have done with the importance and
great benefit to any county of hav-
ing good roads. With such roads
and telephone lines, time and dis
lance are almost annihilated; and
the people Of the whole county can
communicate and mingle together
as one great neighborhood.
Besides the greater pleasures OF
living under such conditions, busl-
ness thrives better, and property
values are greatly enhanced. In the
county from which I have'just come,
the average price of land is from
fifty to one hundred dollars per
acre, even in the remotest parts.
This land is of course very fine, but
not 80 far finer than much of the
land in Edgefeld county. Take the
land up and down the Plank Road.
Much of it is level, and could be
built up to yield immense crops.
With fine clayed road to Augusta,
so that marketing would soon be
easy, a transformation would soon
come to this section. The population
would increase, a great deal more
money would be made, aud the
benefit of this would be shared by
both Augusta and our up-country
towns. I wish that all of the people
could see and realize the difference
that this one thing of good roads
would make in our county. Then
thew would come together, and by
contributing of their money, or
teams, or labor, they would soon
End themselves abreast of any coun-
ty in the state. For the capital IN
vested this would do more good
than even railroad.
Having finished my work In Or
angeburg, / would be willing to de-
vote my time this summer to max
ing an active canvass for the means
to put this movement on foot at
once. hope that the county board
will give this question their imme-
diate attention, and let US see If we
cannot accomplish great things BY
the end of this year.

Discusses
Crop Sanitation

Of study extended over some years Of
definite investigation, we have reach
ed the same conclusion for wheat,
barley and oats, as in the case of the
flax crop, namely: that the soil is not
necessarily chemically depleted for
wheat. fax, or other cereal when it
ceases to grow these grains in normal
form. Chemists and ag~riculturists,
and most capable farmers once said
that lands on which the flax crop died
off and no longer produced a pay
yield were flax tired, chemically de-
pleted of some Of the food products
which the fax plant needs. The ex-
periments which we have conducted
at the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege, and comparatively on many
farms here, c~onclusively proved this
to be a matter Of error.
We have not been able, by means
Of adding any type of fertilizer to
fax tired lands, to make them grow
flax. We have been able to purify
such lands by crop rotation. by seed
treatment and seed selection.
We have been able, by seed breed
ing, to produce types of flax which
grow continuously on such lands, and
produce bigger yields each year. In
making this last statement, the writer
does not wish to be understood as
advocating the single cropping sys-
tenn. The statement that no amount
Of fertilizer or type of fertilizer has
improved the lands Of he Red river
valley, or of North Dakota in general,

are once. fax tired Is not made for
the purpose Of arguing that fertilizers

MORE MEN THE
GREATEST NEED

Kansas City, oct. 27.--The need Of
the right kline Of men to be trained
for the high Task of spiritual leader
ship was emphasized by Dean Charles
r.. Brown Of Yale Divinity school in
an address delivered here last night
ut the national council Of the Con"
gregational church.
We lave not nearly enough men
with sound health, Of positive and
vigorous build" declared Dean Brown;
men with warm social training; men
Of common sense: men of genuine
adequate supply of such men and we
will send you leaders worthy to sit on
twelve thrones of power"
# Dean Brown said that there were
two main sources of supplying the
Christian home n the Christian col
lege. Il fear hat in this hurried,
restless life of ours, the first named
source is not being adequately main
tained," he continued. There are
homes nominally Christian where the
mother finds time abundant for all
mi of social diversion, but never
from months end to months end de-
votes one complete hour to the task
of teaching her children the truths of
that book Of lifting up their spiritual
needs in prayer to God"
AS to the other source Dean Brown
3 asserted that many of the great his
toric universities and many of the
state universities of the middle west
were saying to the call for spiritual
leadership: ' .,..s* .a- .@.
1T is not in u.s." ~
The percentage Of graduates from
these institutions, he said was pathe.
tically small.
THE one supreme qualification fol
moral leadership" declared Dear
Brown, must come in that personal
invincihle spiritual passion which
springs from daily fellowship witt
the Lord Jesus Christ. If we are de,
fective in our church life today, it Ii
due, I believe more than all else, to |
deficiency at this point. We have no
men enough in our pulpits who tcoun
themselves candles of the Lord light
ed from above and ready to burn t

who sit in darkness"

Boys Pig CLUBS
ARE ORGANIZED

Washington, d. G., oct. 27.--Thr De-
partrncnt Of Agriculture has its Boys
Corn club and it's Girls Canning club
and now comes the Boys Pig club, be-
ing organized in the south for the
purpose Of increasing the supply Of
pork and encouraging good breeding Of
nCES. Already clubs have been organ
iZed in Alabama and Louisiana, and a
CLUB organization has been started in
Georgia. 1t is the purpose OF the Off
Gals of the department to organize
cubs in every southern state.
The idea of the organization started
with the Farmers CO-OperatiVe Demon
stTatiOn branch Of the department and
has been carried on with the ~coopera-
tion of the Animal H]usbandry Division
Of the Bureau Of Animal industry. The
organization is an off-shOOt of the
Boys Corn club which has an organ
tZatiOn in every southern state and
which has been the means of producing
record-brcaking yields of corn. The
Pig club, when thoroughly organized,
VIII, 1t Is expected, work hand in hand
with the corn club. The boys of the
boys Of the newly organized associa-
ton will see TO 1t that the pigs are
produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organization
Of the Pig club the department. makes
The following statement:
In ore AIMING the Boys Zig club it
Is the purpoSe Of the department to
establish clubs in every southern state.
The Animal Husbandry division is CO.
operating with the Farmers Co-opera-
tive Demonstration office in the Bu-
reau of Plant industry and has already
established clubs in Alabama and
Louisiana, and the movement Is under
way in Georgia. The organizing is be-
ing done by the officials Of the Farm
ers Cooperative demonstration force,
and the Animal husbandry agents are
instructing and demonstrating how to
handle the stock and to breed a super
Tor type of pigs.
1T is the purpose of the department
to have every member Of the club en-
courage not only an increased produce
tion OF the swine family but Il better
breed of pigs than is being raised at
present. II is a serious purpose the
officials Of the department are engaged
in-one that is aimed at the high cost
Of living.
THE production of pork is not keep
ing pace with the increased population
and something must be done to har-
moniZc these two clements. If each
member of the club-and they will be
growing it is expected all the time
will see to it that one more pig and
II better pig is produced each year
then a long step will have been taken
in meeting the ever growing chasm be
tween pork production and increased
population"

The following lecture was delivered
at Winnipeg by Prof. H. L.. Bolley of
the North Dakota A. c.. on soil and
crop sanitation as a basis for crop
rotation in the production Of seed
bearing crops: 1t is the writer's be-
lief, after a number of years careful
experimental work, and study upon
root and seed diseases Of cereal grains
and upon tillage methods, fertilizer
methods and relation trials for the
purpose of controlling such diseases,
that these diseases In fact constitute
the chief reason for the deterioration
of seed crops. Our experiments have
made it evident that soils which have
been pronounced as depleted for the
growth Of cereal crops are not de-
pleted chemically sufficient to &C
count for the poo quality OF crop
which they produce. Our experiments
teach us hat under certain conditions
of soil publication, which do nOt in
volve the addition of fertilizers, these
lands can be made to yield even great
cr yields han they have ever yielded
before, and to produce seed of quality
equally as good as they originally did.
1t has been found that certain rota-
tons are very desirable in bringing
about these results. 1t is now evident
tina ever the best rotations and the
most fertile lands cannot produce any
thing out d~eteriorated seed If Ger
tain conditions of disease are present
in the soil or in the seed.
The author believes from these ex-
| periments, which are numerous and
conclusive, and from the study Of sue
| cessful experiment of agriculturists
in general, and from a study of GER
tain crop rotations which, in prac-
tice, have failed, that all scientific
! men and farmers and practical agri-
culturists, himself included, have, in
the past, given too much emphasis to
the chemical depletion theory. We
have charged the farmer with being
q, soil robber and public men have re-
iterated 1t, when, in fact, n is only
able to prove that farmers have used
bad sanitary management in handling
the soil and the seed. "
Our experiments have shown that ii
is almost impossible, under common
farm procedure, to procure seeds Of
any of the cereals and small grains
which are internally free from de-
structive disease producing roo des-
troying parasites, but, by special e
| periments, we have SO purified thu
land by the use of tillage methods
(which tend to free the land from
disease, and by the methods of steam

HOW GOOD
ROADS HELP
Government Cites Instances
Showing How Good Roads
Pay.

Washington, July 15.-The dir.
ect effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon
land values and the general econ.
Omic welfare Of 4 community
is shown in several concrete ill.,
ustrations gathered by the United
States department Of agriculture
The department has just issued
a statement on the subject, bas-
ed upon a mass of information
gathered by the office of pub
lie roads, which is making a spec
ial study Of the economic effect
Of road Improvement in the conn
try. According to data gathered
where good roads replace bad
ones, the value Of farm lands
bordering ON the roads increase
to such an extent that the cost
of road Improvement is equalized
if not exceeded. The general
land values, as we'll as farm
values, show a marked advance,
following the improvement OF
roads.
Among the illustrations cited
by the department. are following
In Lee county, Virginia, a
farmer owned 100 acres between
Ben Hur and Jonesville, which
he offered to sell for $500.
In 1908 this road was improved
and, although the farmer fought
the improvement, he has since
refused $1,000 for his farm.
Along this same road a tract Of
1873 acres was supposed to have
been sold for 5000. The purch
aser refused the contract, how
ever and the owner threatened
to sue him. After the road i'm
provement, and without any i'm
prOvement upon the land, the
same farm sold to the original
purchaser for $4,000.
In jackson county, Alabama,
the people voted bond issue of
$25O,OOO for road improvement
and improved "a per cent of the
roads. The census of 1900 gives
the value of all farm lands in
jackson county at $4.9O per acre.
'Vhe selling value at that time
was from $6 to $l5 per acre. The
census Of 1910 places the value
of all farm lands in jackson
county at 1919 per acre, and the
selling price is now from $l5 to
$25 per acre. Actual figures of
increased value following road
