still is getting as large crops as he
ever did.
Corn Thrives on This Soil.
In 1913 20 boys completed records
in corn growing and they all averaged
over so bushels to the acre. The
largest yield was 113 bushels to the
acre Mr.. I. T. Oxner, on demon
stration plot of 20 acres, raised so
bushels to the acre at an average cost
of about 80 cents busnel. The first
preparation Of the land he estimates
as the principal cost.
One of the most progressive farmers
in the section and one who is showing
the possibilities in the soil is Mr.. WEIGH
Wilbur, who lives two miles from the
town. Mr.. Wilbur has a farm of 500
acres and raises but little cotton. He
conducts dairy, raises chickens,
goats and keeps an apiary. His herd
of grade Jerseys is one of the best in
the section He sells milk in Newber-
ry, wnere he also disposes Of the pro-
ducts of his 500 chickens.
Mr.. Wilbur also makes profit from
his bees. He has 25 colonies and he
estimates the profits from each at
about SO per year. They feed on Tetch
during the growing season and the
honey which they make is almost pure
white and of exceptional quality. An
other bee keeper is Mr. Walter I. Her
bert, of R. F. D., Newberry, who keeps
a hundred colonies of bees and reports
about equal profits. Mr.. Wilbur says
that there is good money in bees as
they feed themselves, require no care
and everything they produce is clear
profit
Mr.. Wilbur also raises large crops
Of sweet potatoes which he mostly
markets il town. Some, however, ne
sell as seed potatoes, selling as high
as goo bushels to one man for this
purpose. His average crop is $50
bushels to the acre.
Mr.. L. w. Floyd is also a grower
Of yetch and crimson clover and afal-
IA. He had So acres in vetch last year
and % acres in alfalfa. He obtains
about four tons a year from his alfalfa,
which, he says, however, nets him a
good profit. He sells the hay in the
town to local consumers.

"Mr. Richards also stated that
while he had told no one how he
would vote ne might have been mis-
understood. If Mr.. Richards made
statements to men on obtn sides,
which practically meant that he was
with them, it was equivalent to say
ing he would vote with them
"Mr. Simms,' continued Mr.. Irby,
has charged that Mr. Richards voted
for Jones and lie has not denied it.
From all the facts in the case Mr..
Richards must have thought tae re-
suit III doubt and have been afraid
to risk his chances Of election by
joining in the fight and voting for
Judge Jones, but now that Mr.. Rich
ards has four more years as railroad
commissioner and thinks Gov. Blease
so strong as to need no defense, Mr..
Richards rusnes into our ranks to
try to get the spoils of victory.
81 would suggest to Mr.. Richards
that instead of trying to explain why
he is so anxious to tell what he will
do on the 25th inst, and why he will
not tell how he voted two years ago,
an honest confession would nave been
better for his soul"

Marion, Dillon and Marlboro, VINO
wish to come tc Columbia and all
points west of Columbia.
Likewise there is probably compare
lively little local demand for a bridge
across the Santee, between Clarendon
and Orangeburg counties, yet such a
crossing would be of great use to the
entire lower part of the tSate.
There should be a highway across
the upper part Of the State, connect
ing the counties of Union, Chester
Lancaster and Chesterfield, but the
lack Of bridges across Broad and Cat
awba rivers prevents.
Those who have Travelled by auto
mobile, or who have Il light on the
subject, know the great limitations On
travel, and the large extra mileage
between points that the lack Of bridge
crossing of rivers entails on the traV-
eler.
Commerce and travel between these
rivers divided sections of the State is
limited to the railroads, and neighbors
within a few miles of each ether re-
main strangers.
1t is hoped that by all interested
parties getting together and agreeing
upon what legislation is wanted, and
then using their influence in one di-
rection at the coming meeting o. the
legislature, the necessary law can be
enacted to provide the plan and the
funds.

Brings in Some Newberry Men.

Southern Field for August.
Just west of Columbia the road runs
through the valley of the Broad river
which is lowland and is not under a
high state of cultivation except at
intervals. All TIE land could be made
productive, however, under modern
farming conditions following drainage.
The road runs through the centre OF
Lexington county, which is in most
part a county of great agricultural
possibilities. Back from the river on
both sides at a distance Of about one
and one-halt miles Gigher ground IS
reached and here large crops of cot
ton, corn and cowpeas can be raised.
The road enters a we'll developed
farming section at Prosperity, town
Of 1900 population. At this place DR..
George Y. Hunter has been growing
alfalfa for more than five years. His
crops have averaged about five tons
per acre yearly. He is also breeder
of purebred red polled cattle and says
that livestock growing is rapidly in
c1 easing. Mr.. Hunter says that the
development in cover crop growing
during the last two years has been
enormous. The richness of the section
has been reflected in tie local banks,
which at present have deposits of
more than 100000 each.
In addition to Dr. Hunter, another
physician, DR.. J. S. Wheeler, and Mr.
F. C. T. Hunter have been active in
demonstrating diversified farming.
Vetch Growing at NeWberry.
Newberry, the county seat of New
berry county, is a town of about 5000
inhabitants and is in tae Piedmont
section of South Carolina and almost
at the edge of this famous district. 1t
ras three cotton mills, modern banks
and public schools, and NeWberry col
lege is also located here. During the
past five years few sections have made
more rapid strides in diversified farm
ing. More vetch is being planted here
than at possibly any other point in
the South. Mr. s. NJ Duncan, former
government farm demonstrator, last
wear bought at Wholesale and distri-
buted at cost abau 1000 pounds Of
vetch seed to farmers in this commun-
ity. There are now about 1900 to
5000 arces in this section planted in
cover crops such as rye. vetch, oats
and crimson and red clover.
Wat can be done nere is illustrated
by Mr.. Duncan on three-fourths OF an
acre demonstration plot planted in the
government mixture OF hay, consisting
of 10 pounds of red clover, one-third
buslel Italian rye grass, one-tndrd
oushel orchard grass and tall meadow
grass. From this planting Mr.. Duncan
cut 5000 pounds Of grass, which netted
him $50 OF this plot.
The county now is keeping tive dem
onstration plots of three acres eacn
which are alternated in corn, cotton,
and grains, to show the farmers the
advantages to be gained by alternating
in planting.
Some advantages to be gained oy
rlanting cover crops has been shown
by Mr.. A. D. Hudson, who has been
growing cover crops on his farm. Dur
ing the last :ew years be has

FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Convention to Be Held in Columbia
to Agree Upon Legislation for
Better Roads.

The time has come when some con-
certed action is necessary to obtain
legislation to provide for the construc-
ton of gaps in cur system Of roads
caused by the lack Of bridges cross
ing Of the rivers of the State and to
provide a system of road maintenance
for the highways leading to the State
capital at Columbia and for those con-
Meeting tie county seats and larger
towns. Disconnected efforts have been
made at past meetings of the legisla-
tire 20 provide for road construction,
but they have been fruitless, and it
is only by concerted action Of all par
ties interested in good roads that we
can hope for legislation providing a
definite system for road construction
and maintenance. With this end in
view, it is proposed to hold a good
roads rally in Columbia on the 1st OF
October which will be attended by
delegates from the following organiza-
tions:
All commercial bodies, County sup
ervisor's association, Mail carriers
association, Farmers union, All good
roads and automobile organizations.
This convention would be expected
to formulate law to be pushed at
the next meeting of the legislature,
providing a system for road construc-
ton and maintenance for all classes
o. roads and to provide funds for the
construction Of highways and bridges
that are for the use of large sections
of the State, and for the maintenance
of highways between the county seats.
1t is not proposed to interfere with
the work Of the present supervisors,
but to provide means of assisting them
in the maintenance Cf the county
roads. There are howeTer many roads
that ar emit demanded by local county
interests but which are needed IN
systems of intra4State highways, and
should be constructed by or under the
direction of some central authority,
such as the State department Of agri-
culture.
Our State is divided by its large riv-
ers, the Santee, Congaree, Water ,e,
Broad, Catawba. tae two Pee Dees, and
the Icwer part Of the Edisto, into sec
tons between which at present, there
i; little communication except by rail-
road. Tne only bridges across these
streams at present are as follows:
Santee, none, Wateree, one at Cam
den, Catawba. one between Lancaster
end Yerk counties, C5ngaree, one al
Columbia. Broad. one near Columbia
and one between York and Cherokee
counties, Big Pee Dee, none, Little Pee
Dee, one between Conway ana Mar
ion, Lower Edisto, ncne.
The cost of construction tas been
too great, or local interest not suf-
fcient to warrant the building o. other
bridges across these streams, though
their need is felt by large sections
OF the State 1t is too much to ex-
pect Richland and Sumter counties to
lid bridge across the Wateree, for
which there is little local demand, but
which would be Of immense benefit to
people living II the counties OF Sum
ter, Darlington. Florence, Clarendon,
