FARM CROPS

Stable Manure Supplies Many Plant /
Food Elements and Adds Humus to
the soII-calcium Should be APP

Howard Eldridge, Porterville, New
York, writes as follows: Il am tar-
mer living in Erie county, New YORK.
The soil raises very good crops in
everything excepting wheat ana oats
The average yield of this grain for the
past few years has been fifteen or
twenty bushels to the acre, as COM
pared to fifty bushels to an acre Few
wears ago. How can this land be i'm
proved?"
The principal plant food elements
are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
and calcium. These are necessary Tor
the production of crops II any one
of these elements is deficient, 1t viii
mean that the crop production Will be
lessened. Continuous cropping WIN
out rotation, combined with poor cul-
tivation, is bound to result IN de-
creased yields.
The nitrogen can be replenished by
growing leeuminous crops. such as
clovers, cowpeas, soy beans, vetchef,
etc. Also by applying stable manure,
or blowing under legume as green
manuring crop. By doing this you
not only supply nitrogen to your soil,
but you improve its physical condition
by adding vegetable matter.
Very few soils require potassium.
This is especially so of sandy soils.
although if the soil is not in good
physical condition, the potassium may
not be available, but if you supply tie
vegetable matter either in the form OF
green manure or stable manure, It VIII
tend to make the potassium available.
1t may be necessary to supply phoe-
phorus in the form of a commercial
fertilizer, which may be done by using
finely ground phosphate rock, provid-
ing the soil is in the proper physical
condition. The phosphate rock will
cost you only about half as much and
contains practically twice as much
phosphorus as acid phosphate. The
best way Of handling rock phosphate
is to spread 1t in the stables with the
bedding or to scatter 1t on the manure
; pile. The decaying of the stable
, manure will tend to render the phos'
! phorus available.
: The other principle element. which
, is especially important if you expect

A Bad Negro.

Policeman Priester, OF Ehrhardt,
had a narrow escape from death
Thursday of last week. He went to
arrest negro who was drunk and
disorderly and the negro shot at him
at a distance of about fifty feet, the
weapon used being a single barrel
shot gun. Mr.. Priester's pistol was
empty, as some one had taken it out
and shot all the bullets the day be-
fore and he did not notice it when
he went to arrest the negro. How
ever, the negro then ran and reload
ed his gun while running, but Mr..
Priester jumped up behind a buggy
and caught him before he got out OF
town, overpowering him before che
could fire again and arresting him.
He brought the negro to Bamberg
Friday and lodged him in Jail. He
will no doubt be tried at the ap-
preaching term of court.

Carlisle Students at Banquet.

One of the most enjoyable oc-
casions of the year at Carlisle is the
annual Washington banquet which
takes place on the evening before
the birthday of "The Father of His
Country" This year it proved es-
pecially attractive. The halls were
decorated with flags, the national
colors, and handsome potted plants,
and as the lively crowd gathered,
became more and more attractive.
The student body, faculty, and quite
a number of friends were present to
enjoy the occasion.
The following were the toasts:
Toastmaster, Headmaster Guilds;
"Our Co-Eds," Grady Hydrick
"Our Eds" Miss Nell McCants; "Our
Pedagogues, Charlie StAey; TX. L.
S." Jarvis Thompson; IS. L. S" Miss
Matte Kizer; 20. S. o. T." Hampton
Mitchum; "Athletics," Louis Nc
Connell; "Carlisle," Miss Agnes
Connor. All the toasts were de-
lightfully responded to and quite a
number of good "jokes" were sprung
on members. of the school com
munity.
The souvenir cards were very at
tractive and quite unique-the pro
gramme, printed on card cut in
the shape of a Washington head and
tied with the school colors, old gold
and black.
Among the out-of-town friends
present were: Mrs. Peterman anc
daughter, Cope; Miss Florence Rem
mixer, Charleston; Miss Lucille How
ell, Orangeburg; Miss Mary Nc
Cants, Cameron; Messrs. Tom anc
Willie Connor, Branchville.

his son, Mr.. G. A. Best, in Ulmer, on
Monday morning, after very short
illness. He was in the 73rd year OF

struggle he served with conspicuous
gallantry.
On Tuesday, in the presence Of a
large concourse of sorrowing Fela-
tives and friends, the body of this
good man was laid to rest, after
touching funeral services conducted
at Mizpah church by the Rev. Mr..
Walker.
Mr.. Best married Miss jamie Kirk

Beyond about seven years ago. She
was sister of Capt. Geo. Kirkland.

and Mrs. Harry Kearse, of Ulmer,
and three sons, Messrs. c. A. Best,
of Barnwell; G. A. Best, Of Ulmer,

TIPS TOLD BY FINGER NAILS.
How One May Speculate on Character
of NeighbOr.

It is always amusing to speculate
on the character of ones neighbor.
A very simple aid in so doing IS TO
watch the nails says London Answers.
If a mans or woman's nails are long
and slender you may be quite GER
tain the person is not robust phys1-
cally as the possessor of short, broad
nails.
Whereas men and women with the
long, narrow type of nail are invet-
crate visionaries, those having short
nails are almost always conspicuous
by the strength of their logical pow
ers. 1t is the latter who make the
best and most reliable critics.
A further and almost certain char
acteristic of long-nailed people is
their intense depreciation of them
selves and their own efforts in any
branch of work. The feeling almost
amounts to pessimism with them.
Such a point of view however, sell
dom worries those possessing short
nails. In fact, more often than not,
rather the reverse is the case; they
are inclined to be oversure of them
selves.
