Blasting Ground For Tree Planting

Much has been written on how to
plant tree or trees, but if the expert
ences Of sco:eS of famous orchardists
have any weight on the topic. then the
practice of using dynamite preliminary
to planting young trees has fully
proved its merits
The writer has personally seen spe-
cific examples of the value and excel
lence of tree planting with dynamite

must be filled to prevent settling of the
tree after planting The roots should be
placed in natural position in good top
soil. covered With more top soil and
treaded down firm. The hole can then
be filed to d little above the surface
with subsoil
The fact that nearly all commercial
orchardists use this method proves
that it pays in reduced first year loss,
earlier fruiting and larger and better
yields.

Carolina Comes First
In Canning Club Work
Agent of Fifteen Southern States Con,n,ens Work of
Miss Edith L. Parrot and Her Able Corps of
Assistanty

The State.
O. B. Martin, supervisor of home
demonstration and canning club work
in i Southern States, spoke of the
work in South Carolina when in. Co.
lumbia recently.
South Carolina women and girls
are leading the nation in the canning
club and home demonstration work,
he said.
For 10 days just before leaving
Washington 1 was engaged in read
ing the field and statistical reports OF
the 400 women age nts in the 10
Southern States, who are doing this
work in cooperation with certain lead
ing colleges. For the past few days |
have been making trip through all
of the South Atlantic States and
have also made some investigation Of
similar work in the rest Of the United
States, so l have unusual opportunl-
ties of judging progress in this i'm
portant line. A representative Of our
office was sent to San Francisco few
weeks ago to address the association
of American agricultural colleges. She
said that she had many inquiries from
the North and West in regard to Miss
Edith Parrott and her work in South
Carolina. Miss Parrot had addressed
the same association in Chicago last
year. At the request Of college au-
thorities and demonstration workers
in Arkansas and Oklahoma she went
to those States few months ago to
tell them about progress in South
Carolina and also about her methods
OF organization and work. We have
had similar requests for her to come
to other States. Our Office and the
office of home demonstration work at
Winthrop college have had numerous
requests for the outline program OF
work which Miss Parrott and her as
sistants, Mrs. Dora Dee Walker and
Miss huntington, have issued for the
years work in South Carolina. There
is also a lively demand for their plans
Of making freless cookers, ironing
boards, .iceless refrigerators and other
conveniences and devices The short
courses for girls at several colleges
aroused much interest also.
Results Good.
"The statistics which nave already
begun to come in will show some
marvellous results" he continued.
There are % counties in South Caro-
lima which have home demonstration
agents and which have organizations
Of women demonstrators and girl
club members. This is the largest
percentage of county organizations IN
any of the States. There have been
3,175 members doing regular gardea
work in the clubs of 1915. Most of
them grew tomatoes, but hundreds OF
them branched out On work with
beans, peppers, okra and other vege-
tables. Likewise, they have been do
ing things with fruits, such as the
preserves, juices, jellies and other
products in the exhibit put up by Miss
Dorothy Napier and her girls as the
exhibit at the Columbia Chamber OF
Commerce will show. The ptnento
pepper work, which was started in
Barnwell county by Mrs. Dora Dee
Walker, is another thing that is bring
ing the South Carolina work to ma
tional attention. There are now 432
pimento gardens in South Carolina
belonging to club members. Similar
work has been undertaken in many

other States this year. We are very
much gratifed also to get reports
showing that more than 800 girls in
the South Carolina clubs have already
started their winter gardens. There
are 176 girls doing superior work in
the bread clubs.
Make Demonstrations.
But perhaps the most rapid and
recent development has been in the
organization of the women to do def
mite demonstrations" said Mr.. Mar
tin. ALREADY .O73 women have joined
these clubs. The reports which hava
thus far come in show that these wo-
men have made or nave had made
597 freless cookers, 1,162 large fly
traps, 1S7 ironing boards, 81 iceless re-
frigerators and 81 inexpensive water
works systems.
cit must be remembered that this
is only beginning and that the agents
have only been pushing this line of
work for a few weeks. Under the
great stimulus given by the Lever eX-
tension act this will develop in few
years into the greatest and most use
full organization for women's work that
has ever existed anywhere. =
"Of course, you understand" he
continued, "that in the farm demon
straticn work we are not boasting I'M
duly when we say that the best work
in the South is the best work in the
nation. DR.. Seaman A. Knapp began
this work in the South and he received
active cooperation from Southern col
leges, congressman, business men,
school officers, teachers, legislators,
editors and other public spirited citi-
zens. The result is that the South is
ahead in this development. l have
heard many Northern and Western
people admit this fact and they are
looking to ussfor suggestions.
Should Visit State Fair.
81 judge from little correspond
ence that has been received in our
office that there are few people in
South Carolina who do not fully I'M
derstand the nature of the work done
by Miss Parrot and her splendid corps
Of assistants. Such people should visit
the State fair and study tne exhibits
which will be installed there. All OF
this work is done in cooperation with
Winthrop college, just as the farm
demonstration work is done in co-op-
Grafton with Clemson college. A few
people have confused this work! with
that which has been done in home
economics extension by Miss Mary E.
Frayser. A contract has recently been
signed by the college and department
authorities whereby Miss Frayser is
to devote her time and energies to SIM
liar work in mill villages. This is the
great work which has Deeen conducted
in the past few years by James L. Car
berry, now demonstration agent at
Beaufort. '~F~&
"Dr. A. S. Knapp was greatly con-
cerned about demonstration work in
mill villages in the last year Of nis
life. Thousands Of people will be glad
to cooperate with Miss Frayser in her
new work. Home demonstration work
elsewhere in the State will be in
charge of Miss Parrot and her assist
ants, who in my opinion are among
South Carolina's greatest benefactors.
In a very few years there will DO a
home demonstration agent in eyer5
county in the State"

SMITH ON HUGHES
AND ALSO ON WAR
IN BORDER COUNTRY
SPEAK SOFTLY OF MEXICO"
HE SAID, POLITICAL ASPIR-
ANTS ARE SUFFERING

Senator William Alden Smith was
recently asked the question what he
thought of Supreme Court Justice
Charles +. Hughes of New York as a
presidential possibility:
81 can say with great deal of en-
phasis," he replied, that Justice
Hughes comes nearer representing
the hopes and aspirations of our par
ty than any other man whose name
has yet been mentioned, for he not
only measures up to the presidency
from every point of view, but his
nomination would insure triumph as
complete as was achieved by Mckin-
ley in 1885,
What do you think of the Mexican
situation ?" Senator Smith was asked.
The senator smiled. Speak softly
of Mexico" he replied. Both of
these Mexican bandits, who aspire to
head the republic, have been brought
up on hot milk furnished by the Viii
son administration. The president
has coddled and nursed and encour-
aged both Of these highwaymen, Car
rama and Villa, to fight Huerta, and
to fight one another; and then to as
sault and murder and rape, not only
their own people who were non-com-
batants, but foreigners in Mexico and
actually numbers of American.
"Yet there has not been one arrest
made for the murder of an American
in Mexico in two years, and the muir
ders run into the hundreds. Most of
the victims were killed with American
guns and American powder.
''The whole Mexican affair furnishes
the most disgraceful chapter in the
foreign policy of any administration
with which / have been familiaf.
President Wilson would not recognize
Huerta because the latter had not
come to the head of the Mexican gov
eminent by constitutional means; yet
within three months after Wilson had
proclaimed this doctrine-an extra
ordinary innovation in international
law and diplomacy-he recognized q
revolutionary president in Peru and
now gives recognition to a revolu-
ZIONIST as head of the government OF
Mexico"

FINGER Nails Show Health.

Our finger nails are made OF a horny
material that is in some ways like the
material that makes our skin. But it is
more like the material that makes our
hair. 1t is after all different from eli
Their of these and is more like horn
than any other part OF our bodies. The
special cells at the base of the nails
form the material for our nails and
therefore the health of our finger nails
depends on these cells. If you are not
in good health or If you do not take
good care Of your skin your finger nails
will show that they are not healthy.
If your blood is ont OF order the cells
that make the finger nails will not do
their work properly and then little
white spots Will appear on the nails.
So you see those little white spots are
sign of bad health.-Iiansas City

Our auman intercourse is constantly
being thwarted by our consciousness
Of consequences. 1t is especially the
case when we are young. Young peo-
pie feel that they can hardly have an
intimate conversation without its end
ing in a promise TO correspond or an

titude as we grow older the conscious
ness that moments intimacy may
entail so much makes us pause before
taking the Hateful plunge. How often
do we draw back in moment of ex-
