Education Has Fared Well. q. 80.
y"The educational interests Of the
state Jared well at the hands OF the
legislature" said ]. E. Swearingen,
state superintendent Of education, In
commenting upon the work Of the
general assembly. i
"Two statewide measures Of over.
shadowing Importance to the schools
were enacted-compulsory education
and liberal appropriations. Though the
compulsory attendance law is not all
that was. desired, it marks the be-
ginning of thoroughly progressive
policy. The school district is properly
made the unit for the operation of this
law. It's adoption in any district is
left absolutely to the wishes Of the
people. This local option provision
will allow any community a chance
to test the law for ITSELF
compulsory attendance may be in
trdouced in three ways: ... -
al. Upon the petition of majority
of the qualified electors residing IN
the district.
"2. Upon petition Of one-fourth
of the qualified electors residing in a
district, asking for an election on the
subject at which election a majority
vote for compulsory attendance.
"s. In towns and cities Of 1,500 or
more population, upon q petition of q
majority Of the school trustees, ask.
ing for an election at which election
a majority vote for compulsory at.
tendance must be secured. 49,.
at is confidently expected that a
large number of school districts will
petition themselves under the law un-
der the first option. An equal num-
ber of districts will ask for TN elec-
ton and vote themselves under the
law by the second option. About SO
towns and cities should be able to
take advantage Of the third option.
The board of trustees in each OF
these municipalities will be urged by
the state department of education to
hold an election. or request compul-
sory attendance in their districts. 1
should like to see Charleston and COL
unbia vote upon this question" ..

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. B0WSFIELD

A problem which is rather difficult
for owners of little farms to solve is
that of supplying fodder for their cows
and other stock. After a silo has been
erected there is less difficulty, but 9th
erwise the question of economical feed.
ing is always pressing.
An energetic family on farm should
keep a number of cows. There is money
in 1t, but the work must not be allowed
to become drudgery. A milk or butter
business requires painstaking effort
seven days in the week. and all
through the year. Still, farm is not
a farm without cows, and the proper
thing is to divide the work fairly and
keep as many animals as can be fed
without too much strain on the re-
sources of the place.
A place of ten or twenty acres should
have a silo, and when the land amounts
to thirty acres or more there may be

FARM COMMANDMENTS.

These nine agricultural COM
mandments were formulated by
DR.. s. A. Knapp Of the United
States department Of agriculture,
and their wisdom has been prov
on many farms:
, First Prepare deep and thor
oughly pulverized seed bed, well
drained; break in the fall TO the
depth of eight, ten or twelve
, inches, according TO the soil. with
implements that will not bring
too much of the subsoil to the
surface. The foregoing depths
should be reached gradually.
Second.-Use seed Of the best
variety, intelligently selected and
carefully stored.
Thlrd.-In cultivated crops give
the rows and the plants in the
) rows a space suited to the plant
the soil and the climate.
, Fourth. Use intensive tillage
during the growing period of the
crops.
Fifth.-Secure a high content
of humus in the soil by the use
of legumes. barnyard manure,
) farm refuse and commercial fer
tilizers
Sixth.-Carry out a systematic
crop rotation with a winter COW
err crop on southern farms.
Seventh. - Accomplish more
work in a day by using more
horsepower and better imple-
ments.
Eighth.-Increase the farm
stock to the extent of utilizing all
the waste products and idle land
) of the farm.
Ninth.-Keep an account of
each farm product in order to
know from which the gain or
) loss arises.

SPRAY FOR PEAR SLUGS.
Pests Can Be Readily Destroyed by a
Contact or Arsenical Spray.

re- r Jones' Colorado station.l
The leaves of cherry, pear and plum
trees are repeatedly attacked by the
pear slug. The name slug" is some
what misleading, as the people in gen
eral think of it as being small snail,
when in reality it is the larva of one OF
our leaf eating hymenopterous insects,
which are known as sawtiies.
These larvae feed upon the upper
epidermis of the leaves in many cases
completely skeletonizing them, and In
time they turn brown and wither. Bad
ly infested orchards have the appear
ance of having been swept by fire. En-
tire defoliation of trees, in many cases,
occurs by midsummer, and the fruit
fails to fully mature. In cases of later
complete defoliation the vitality of the
trees is so weakened that the fruit buds
for the succeeding year are weakened
hence shortage in production
There is no need of this loss by these
insects, as they can readily be de-
stroyed by contact or arsenical spray.
Arsenate of lead, four pounds, or paris
green, one pound, to 100 gallons. may
be used successfully as a spray with
water. Or the slugs may be controlled
by an application of freshly Stacked
lime busted upon the leaves, or white
hellebore. two ounces to 100 gallons Of
water. or 'black leaf 40' at the rate
of one gallon to 800 gallons of water.
The last may be applied in consider
ably weaker solution by adding a lit
tie soap. four or five pounds, to the
mixture. In cases of thorough appli-
cations, one gallon of black leaf, 40
to 1900 gallons of water, have given
very satisfactory results. but for all
general purposes, one gallon to 1000
gallons of water is to be recommended

Farmers as a rule are kind
 hearted and sympathetic and abuse the beasts of burden IS something rarely witnessed in the country. In the citiea are often seen horses, after being driven, tied to a post, exposed to wintry winds and cruelty neg lected. Societies exist for the prevention of cruelty to animals in one form or another and the duty of the village marshal IS to house and care for neglected an imals. Our town has ample sta bling accommodations and mercy and good care bestowed upon the dumb brutes brings rich returns.

SPRAYING DONTS

l. Don't use Paris green with out adding at least an equal amount of lime; twice as much lime is even better.
 2. Don't spray carelessly; eV- cry part of every plant should be covered by the spraying fluid.
 8. Don't waste the spraying mixture by allowing it to come out of the nozzle in a stream. A fine mist is much better.
 4. Don't spray until you know just what you are doing. Follow directions carefully.
 5. Don't spray while it is raining or while it looks like rain
 6. Don't neglect to keep the spraying mixture we'll mixed all the time.
 '. Don't forget to wash out all parts of the pump. hose and nozzle. when you are through spraying.

THE NATIONAL WEALTH

Washington. D. C., May 20, 1 1915. The national wealth IS officially estimated at S187, 739,- 100000, or $1, 965 for each man,
 woman and child in the country.
 Such are the figures contained l in the special bulletin, Estimat- Valuation of National Wealth,
 1850. 1912. which is about to be
 issued by Director Sam L. Rog-
 CTS. of the Bureau of the Census,
 Department of Commerce. This
 bulletin. which was complied un-
 der the direction of MT, Starke
 NJ. Gragan, Chief Statisticlan Tn charge of the inquiry, presents estimates of the true value of the various classes of real, per- sonal, and other property owned I in each state and in the District of Columbia in the year 1912. l Comparative statistics, in less detail, are given for earlier years extending as far back as 1850.
 The Census Bureau does not present these estimates as very close approximations to accuracy. but as being the best which can be made from the data available and as being fairly comparable with those published eight years ago. relating to the year l904 The sources of information em ployed were reports of assessors and other state officials; the Year Book of the Department of Agrl- culture. Census reports on Agrl- culture, manufactures, street railways, telegraphs, telephones, electrie-light and power stations, and transportation by water, and reports of the Interstate Com merce Commission, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce. the United States Geoiog- .ical Survey, the Bureau of NaEi-
 ation. the Chief Engineer of the United States Army che Director of the Mint and Cue Comptroller of the Currency.
 In less than two-tairds of a century from 1850 to 19I2-the total wealth of the nation, eX- cIuding exempted real estate, in- creased from $L136. GOO. GOO. or SOS per capital to S175. 426, COG .050. or &la36 per capita, the per .centages of increase being 2,238 for the total and 496 for the per. capita amounts. In other words, ths wealth of the nation as whole is nearly twenty-five times as great as it was in 1850 while that of the individual is about six times as great.
 The exempt real estate, which was estimated at $l2,314, GOO, GOO, . or 129 per capita in 1912, includ- . es the buildings, other structures and public works owned by the

The report of the Test Farm work conducted by the Central of Georgia Railway along it's lines last year makes interest ing reading. There were total of twenty-nine of these farms in Georgia and Alabama, with tot al of 1, 135 1-2 acres in cultivat- ion. The total net profits were SIP, ,5O2. 58, or an average of $11.- O1 per acre. On 184 1-2 acres of oats followed by pea hay the net profit was $25. 85 an acre, while the average net profit on cotton was only $9.08 an acre. This is another contribution to our already goodly store of evil dence that fall oats followed by | hay crop afford one of our best sources of farm products.
