LONG WINTER NIGHTS
OFFER READING TIME
Farmers Can Utilize Season for
Planning Their Work and
Storing Up knowledge.

Clemson College, Dec. 26.-During
the bad weather of winter, when Il
is almost impossible to work out OF
doors, and when there is little work
to be done in the fields in compari-
son with other seasons, farmers have
an opportunity to give some of their
time to two things that many of them
neglect almost entirely. One of
these things is to plan carefully for
the next season, the other is to abb
sorb knowledge from the printed
matter that is now to be had in such
abundance.
Most business men would shortly
be bankrupt if they planned their af-
talrs as little as the average farmer
does. 1t is reasonable to believe that
forehandedness and prudence will he
as profitable in farming as in mer-
chandising or banking. Certain it is
that the farmer will lose nothing b.
giving some of his spare time this
winter to looking ahead.
For example, if he has not been
carrying out a crop rotation, now is
good time for him to decide upon
one that is we'll suited to his condj-
tons and to work out the details of
it. He should be looking into the
FERTILIZER situation to see what his
purchases should be and where he
can make them. He should be pre-
o1
place, as we'll as the wood ashes, for
humus and for potash. He should be
interesting himself in the question OF
/ home-miNing fertilizers. There are
numerous other things that might
protitably occupy the average South
Carolina farmers attention at this
time.
There is almost no subject on agr;-
culture on which he cannot get free
literature either from Clemson Col
lege or from the United States de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. For example, bulletins that NAV
be secured from Clemson College on
some OF the subjects mentioned
above are as follows:

NINETY-MILE GALE
STRIKES NEW YORK
seven Deaths Reported as Toll of
One of Most Weird Storms
Ever Experienced.

New York, Dec. 26.-One of the
most weird storms the East has seen
In many years--rain, hail and snow
accompanied by thunder and light
ming and gale which reached a maxi
mum velocity Of ninety miles an hour
descended from the northwest early
today as the aftermath of a Christ
mas fog. 1t indirectly caused seven
deaths in this vicinity, carried down
telegraph wires, damaged shipping,
crippled railroad traffic, and caused
considerable property damage.
The phenomenon of thunder and
lightning in the midst of driving
snow awakened New Workers at the
height Of the storm about z O'Clock
this morning. A gale from the south
accompanied by rain had been blow
ing during the night, but the temper
ature dropped during the early morn
ing hours, changing the rain to hail
and then to snow. The local weather
bureau reported total precipitation
of So inches, of which 28 was snow.
The wind shifted to the northwest
and increased in violence, reaching
its ninety-mile intensity at 9 O'Clock,
and soon after carrying off the storm
clouds. The gale continued, however
hurting signs and copings to the
streets and demolished several part
ly built structures. The storm had
its center in Massachusetts, the
weather bureau reported, and the
telegraph companies said their ser.
vice in New England had been badly
crippled, although communication
had not been entirely lost with the
principal cities.
