Another Jefferson Youth for
the Navy

Jeffersonian
Mr.. Marion Ellis left on We'd
nesday of this week for Charlotte
N. G. where he went to enlist in
the United States navy. MIR.
Ellis said that he was not real
sure that he would pass the ex-
animation for the navy, but in
case he should not he said that
he would go on to Virginia where
he has been offered a position in
the Dupont Powder factory. 1t
will be seen from this that Mr..
Ellis is not to be backed down
from helping our Uncle Sam in
case he should need help-if he
can't help burn the powder be is
going to help make some for the
others to burn.

Shifting Quotations

Some years ago a hard-work-
ing tobacco planter of Mont
gomery County, Tennessee, paid
his first visit to the East. With
him as travelling companion came
a buyer of tobacco for one of the
foreign governments. The plan
ter had already shipped his
seasons crop to New York,
intending to sell it after his ar
rival be being dissatisfied with
conditions in his home market.
It 50 chanced that the ferry
which brought them across the
Hudson to Manhattan landed
alongside pier where two big
freighters were loading with
tobacco for Liverpool. Catching
| the familiar whiff of the weed,
the Tennesseean followed his
nose until it led him into a great
freight shed were countless hogs
heads of tobacco-more than he
ihad ever seen at any one time in
his life-were awaiting transpor-
tation. He took one look and
turned to his companion. tho
foreign buyer.
"Old man." he Dreaded, IF you
kin sell my tobacco here. sell it
} right away. 1t don't make no
difference what price you git for
it-sell it! There's more tobacco
! here already than everybody in
2 the world kin use up in hun
I dred years."
! He spent a day on Broadway
a and Fifth Avenue and then in
haste he sought for his friend.
2 Don't you sell my tobacco al

Sho huff Married Now.

Monroe Enquirer
A young couple in this county
have been living together for
several months thinking they
were legally married. but they
were mistaken about it. 1t was
this way: License to wed was
taken out by the young man
and one who was supposed to
be magistrate was called on to
officiate at the wedding, but it
turns out that the one who was
called on to perform the service
was not a magistrate, as his term
of office had expired and he was
no longer a Squire" The wed
ding, the real, legal wedding has
taken place. Who are the
parties? Well. now that might
be of some interest. but what's
the use to be giving names
when neither one of the parties
most interested are not to blame

last night with an informal
reception in the rooms of the
Chiquola club, given by the
citizens to Congressman Finley

speakers at the farmers rally at
10 o'clock this morning. In
their speeches they touched up
on the changed conditions
brought about by the war, and
the lack of marketing facilities
for the farmer, due to the want
of organization and cooperation
and matters of equal importance
in the farmers life. At II
o'clock the Woodmen took
charge. They had as speakeAs
Tom Hamer of Bennettsville,
clerk of court of Marlboro
county and an enthusiastic
Woodman, who pictured the
beauty of woodcraft as lying
not so much in the fraternal
element as in the protection Il

Ten-Cent Cotton

(From The Raleigh Times)
The Charlotte Observer SAYS
that Southern cotton planters will
be able to get ten cents for their
product "for the asking"-by
which the Charlotte paper means
by keeping stiff upper lip and
not rushing the staple to market.
Even several months ago there
were indications that nine or ten
cents might be expected, but
since that time the crop has been
estimated, the demands of the
world have been canvassed.
Cotton is being used for more
purposes than ever before and,
although the English and French
mills are not as active as formerly
and although Germany will not
be able to buy any cotton, there
is no indication that the short
crop will be a drug on the mar
ket. Southern farmers will not
become excited this Fall, and
they will not allow the specula-
tors to stampede them. We can
make the present crop a success
by pulling together, and that is
what the country ought to do.

How To Treat Seed Oats
To Prevent Smut

s" ~ AI00S 0C0o O068
To Prevent Smut
To each three gallons of water
add one ounce, about two table.
spoons, of formalin of the usual
or standard strength a 40 per
cent solution of formaldehyde
gas. In this solution, soak the
seed oats 10 or Is minutes,
stirring them so that every grain
may become thoroughly wet.
Then drain off the surplus
water, cover the pile of seed
oats with cloth that has been
dipped in q stronger solution of
formalin. Leave the sazSd or
bulked oats covered for sabeut
eight to ten hours to permit the
formalin vapors to penetrate the
mass ofaseed more thoroughly;
but do not let the oats remain
damp long enough for sprout-
ing to begin Next spread the
oats in . thin layer on a floor
previously made clean by wash
ing with a strong solution of
formalin, and dry them rapidly
by frequent string with clean
supplements.
Instead of soaking the seed, as
suggested above, the grain may
be poure out ON a wagon sheet
or burlap cloth and sprinkled
with the solutiea, of formalin..
Sprinkling and string the seed
must be continued until every
seed becomes thoroughly wet.
Then the corners of the sheet
may be drawn up to cover the
pile of treated oats and to pre-
vent the rapid escape of the for
malin vapor. After The oats have
remained covered eight to ten
hours, the corneEs Of the sheet.

dry. The seed should be sown
soon after they become dry.
though they may be kept for
weeks before sowing, if they
are stored in thoroughly fumi-
gated bins or boxes. A very
good way Is to prepare the seed
one day and sow them the next
day. In sowing damp seed a,
larger amount of oats than
otherwise necessary should be
sown to allow tor the swollen
condition of grain.
Formalin may be obtained from
any wholesale druggist and
from most retail druggist or
ordered through the latter. The
usual price in New.York, when
several bottles are ordered, is less
than so cents per pound bottle,
containing IA ounces.-J. F. Dug

All Together For A Big Oat
Crop.

every reason why the grain
crop next year should be even
bigger still. We have made q
good start toward living at home
and true diversification, and
now let's keep the good work
going. One of the surest means
we know of doing this is to be-
gin planning now for a big
acreage of fall-sown grain, par.
ticularly oats. And not only
should we plan for the biggest
acreage ever sowu, but we
should plan as well to see that
every acre planted gives us q
profitable yield. What can we
do now to insure this3 Here
are some of the things:
l. Seed in the early fall and
thus double the yield of spring
seedingss Experiment station
resdlU the South over have
clearly shown the great super.
iority of fall seeding over spring
seeding, and the farmer who
waits until spring to sow is
simply. on an everage, cutting
his yield in half.
2. Seed with a grain drill.
This is another point on which
experiment. Station evidence is
verypositIve, results showing a
very decided gam in favor of
seeding with a grain drill over
hand seeding.
8. Treat your seed oats to
prevent smut. Every spring.
after it is too late to apply any
remedy, we are deluged with
requests for information on how
TO prevent smut in oats. The
time to prevent -. he
foresgo,sp Plant the O. :
elsewhere ia this issue of The
Progressive Farmer. This treat
ment is inexpensive and it may
save you many dollars.
4. Sow on a well compacted
seed bed. Breaking land for
oats should be done through in
advance for the seed bed to
become well firmed before
planting. Do not plant on cIod-
dy, freshly plowed land. Where
the land has been well cultivated
drilling oats in the cotton mid
dies after the first picking is
often advisable.
S. Sow on a fair grade Of
land. Do not put YOUR oats on
the poorest land on the place
and expect a good crop. Fall
sown oats, under anything like
favorable conditions, are a very
certain crop but, like every
thing else, they do best when
you treat them best.
6. Plan in advance to have
the use OF a binder and thresher.
OF course when raised entirely
for home use, the necessity for
up-to date harvesting machinery
is not SO great; but where oats
are to be marketed. they should
always be threshed and nicely
sacked. Now is a good time to
talk this matter over with your
neighbors and local business
men, with a view to getting
what machinery may de needed.
z. Plant a legume crop after
your oats. Failure to plant the
stubble land to peas or some
other soil-improving crop means
failure to realize on one of our
best opportunities for getting
cheap feed. Save an abundance
of pea seed this fall and pre-
pare to let not a single acre of
stubble land lie idle next year.
Looking after these few es-
sentials will be neither difficult
nor expensive, but whether you
do look after them now will

Chianti bottles, ginger jars and gold- fish globes make excellent vases. They are simple and good in their lines and furnish an attractive setting for .al- most any flower.
