The cogitabund, the literati and the proletariat, are all cordially invit- ed to inspect the tons of tonnes that tell about. They are here today; next week they'll be gone. It is both pleas ure and improvement to possess a good library. All will agree with me, except the groucherino and the igno- rami. They, pity their poor souls, like to hear the dinner bell better than the church bell; prefer to peel peanuts to perusing the classics. Of such is the kinkdom of kickery and kinks. "When time lets slip little perfect hour, o
 take it, for it will not come again." An hour or two each day reading good books is time well spent; better than playing pinnochle, smoking ciga- rettes or watching a prize-fight in a moving picture place. Now, children, listen: This town has never before

LAY BY LATE THIS YEAR.
Warning Sounded by State Demon
StITtOr.

Columbia. July 24.-Laying by of
the crops of cotton and corn in South
Carolina should be delayed consider
ably this year. according to a state
ment yesterday by w. w. Long, State
agent farm demonstration work.
THE crop of cotton in this State
is late" said Mr.. Long. 1T is at
least two weeks late. and therefore
it is very necessary that cultivation
be continued. Our farmers maintain
the practice of laying by their crops
at a certain period. irrespective of
the season or the condition of the
crop.
IF the cotton crop and the late
corn crop are laid by this year at the
time we generally lay by our crops,
with normal season, it is going to
lessen greatly the yield in the State.
II have just received a very in
teresting letter from David r. Coker
Of Hartsville along this line. He
says:
Don't lay by your cotton at all.
the cotton plant should be cultivated
Let it lay itself by. meaning that
as long as it can be plowed without
breaking many limbs
But Mr. Coker calls attention to
this important fact:
AS you know. after the cotton
plant has reached a height of IL
inches, the roots have occupied prac-
tically the entire soil area, and moth.
ing but very shallow plow work can
be done without seriously affecting
the growth of the plant. | have OBJ
served that on very light soil it is
extremely difficult to prevent plow
hands from running too deep, and
farmers who have this class of soil
ought to be pointedly warned of the
danger Of. deep blowing. l am salts
fled that deep plowing after July l
accounts for more crop failures than
any other single cause
"Of course great deal Of the corn
in this state, especially the early
planting, was laid by along about the
first of July or before, but | have OBJ
served that there is great deal of
corn planted late this year. This corn
will practically make nothing if it is
not cultivated late, 50 that moisture
can be conserved"
THE crops, especially i'm the low
country, are growing rapidly and are
in fine condition." Mr.. Long con

were those of w. A. Sherman of
Washington and Prof. w. w. Long of
cotton and the use of fertilizers. Mr.
Sherman took the place of G.. j.
Brand. another department expert,
who was prevented from attending the
meeting. Then followed the prescribed
five minute discussions of various
phases of the subjects which had been
treated by the experts, in which the
individual farmers exchanged their
views very literally and the session
proved most helpful to the large au-
tendance, reinforced today by a num-
Der Of Charleston county farmers.
After the recess for dinner, two
executive sessions were held, at one
of which there was a general discus
sion on how to build up the union,
and at the other consideration of re-
ports and transaction of other bus
mess matters of the organization. The
discussion Of the building up of the
organization was one of live interest
to the farmers and it was stated after
the session that the subject was very
thoroughly discussed with a wide
range of views, and it is expected that
this discussion will Of itself prove of
material benefit to the Farmers
Union Of South Carolina.

PRICES LOWER.
One Result OF Smith Inquiry Bill has
Been to Cause Reduction of Note.

Washington, June 24.-The investi-
cation by the department of COM
merce into the increase in the price
of fertilizers. which was instituted as
the result of resolution introduced
IN the senate by Senator f. ID. Smith,
IS still under way. The officials Of
the department will not be able to
make their report for some little time.
but 1t Is understood that the investi-
cation will be productive of import
ant results. 1t was stated at the de-
partment today that there had been
a decrease of $13 per ton in the price
of nitrate of soda since Senator Smith
introduced his resolution, and there
has also been a reduction in the price
of other fertilizer materials.
