A GLIMPSE OF THE OPE'

o. j. CLffn, in ChH'l tie Observer.
A bithulithic pavement frets me
powerful in the Spring;
It's getting sort of sticky and it
smells like anything;
MY nose is tuned to smell the blooms
Of apple and of pear,
I'm honing for the little town and
wishing 1 were there.
I'd rather walk on cool clay roads
ayielding to my feet,
Than favor pesky bunions on a
crowded city street,
Where lots of girls come limping by
in shoes that are too small
There's surely stir and hustle, but
I've come to hate it all.
Why should a mar bestir himself
when the sap is on the rise
And Mother Nature spreads herself
to dazzle both his eyes?
1t seems to me a timber pole, some
worms and bugs for bait
Are things more fit for finite minds
than chores of Fourth Estate.
I'd like turn my whiskers out a
full three-picas length,
Roll in the grass and sun myself
while saving of my strength
For tramping through green mead
W sweet filled with the 'peet'
frogs song -
But this lame rime fills out the stick;
I'll tell you all "solong"

The Red Cross Nurse.

The country lanes are stained with
red
More scarlet than the kiss of frost,
And one leads from the fields of dead
Where raging battle lines are tossed.
Above the screaming shrapnel's rain
1t fees the horror of the pain.
The fragrant hill of dusky green
Enfolds its path with plying leaves.
Compassionate the dim woods lean
AS the pale moon her magic weaves,
Compassionate the gray church
waits.
A crypt of peace within her gates.
Along the family echoing aisles
The stricken lie in silent lines;
Caressingly a woman smiles
Above them where the Red Cross
shines.
Sweet consultations trimming bowl
AShe pours for every anguished soul.
That English lad with sunny hair
See how she soothes him into sleep;
And then she croonS a German air
To a brave Uhlan wounded deep.
The Breton's brow she softly laves
While, flaming, he of battle raves.
And so the long night passes on.
The guttering candles flare and die,
AS dawn comes, ~sombre-eyed and
wan,
The booming cannon rend the sky.
Yet calmly white above the curse
Moves tenderly the Red Cross Nurse.
The Christ, it has been said, appears
To men whose need is sore for Him.
Behold, the Crimson Cross that
cheers
T The sick below the altar dim!
Dawn brightens fast and Terror
hides,
For here the Lord of Peace abides.

FARMERS BUYING FOR
CASH AND TOGETHER
County Agents Working on Cooper
ative Buying of Fertilizers With
Good Effect.

Clemson College, April 29.-Co'
operative buying of fertilizers is one
of the things on which the county
demonstration agents of Clemson
college and the United States de-
apartment of agriculture have been
working this spring and reports now
coming to Clemson from the agents
show that the work is having ex-
cellent effects. 1t is believed that
there has been more cooperative
buying of fertilizers by South Caro-
lima farmers this spring than in any
preceding season.
Agent J. w. Shealy, of Lexington
county, reports:
eve have been doing some coop
erative buying in a portion of my
county. I have been able to get a
number of farmers clubs together
in all about 200 farmers-and to
get them to buy their fertilizers CO.
operatively. The greater portion of
this was 16 per cent acid and 1912.
The majority of these people ex-
changed their cotton seed for meal,
pound for pound. This meal, with
the above acid, will be home-mixed
under my supervision. Co operative
buying and selling is coming and
coming to stay. We made an aver
age of about two dollars per ton
saving over agents prices. 1 or
dered the goods for the people my
self"
Agent T. A. Bowen, of Pickens
county, writes:
81 am still working on the fertil-
izer question with my farmers. New
er before in the history of the fertil-
izer business in Pickens county has
there been so much sold for cash as
has been sold here this spring. I am
keeping the farmers in touch with
the very best cash prices that can be
had and pointing out to them the
large percentage they r. paying
when they buy on time. There will
be 1000 tons sold for cash at a saw
ing of from 81 to So per ton. The
cash prices that I am advertising are
making local dealers cut their
prices"
Another agent who has reported
especially good results in co-opera-
tive fertilizer buying is D. L. Meal
hany, of Dorchester county.
"Co-operative buying and selling
is coming and coming to stay" says
Agent Shealy, and the evidence does
point that way.
