BULBS FOR WINTER
AND SPRING BLOOMING
Make Your Home Beautiful With
Narcissus, Jonquil, Hyacinth and
Freesia.

The Progressive Farmer.
The culture of even few winter
Towering bulbs will be great source
of pleasure to the flower lover. They
are easy to grow, and require so lit
tie care that one might. say, with
truth, that no home is complete with
out them.
The first thing to remember with all
forms of bulbs is that the greatest op-
portunity must be given to the bulbs
to form mass of fibrous roots before
growth at the top starts. Those who
refuse to learn this lesson wonder
why the flowers are weak and spin
ding.
Soil.-Good potting soil for bulbs
must not be too rich in fertilizer, nor
must it be a clay soil. The best soil
the average Southern farm wife can
obtain is soil composed Of one part
sharp sand, one part leaf mold, or
other black loan, and two parts of
very we'll rotted barnyard manure,
free from straw.
How to Pot Bulbs.-Put a few
pices of broken fiat stones in the
bottom of the pot for drainage, fill
about half full of the soil, press it
down firmly. Add little sand under
each bulb to help the root develop
ment. The bulbs should be placed so
that the top of the bulb is about an
inch below the top of the pot or box.
Fill in level with soil, press the soil
down carefully around the bulbs until
the surface of the soil is half an inch
below the top of the pot. This is ne
cessary for watering. The top of the
bulbs should be just below the sur
face of the soil when finished potting.
Care of the Bulbs.-Water the pots
we'll to settle the soil about them.
Then set away in a cool, dark place
to store while the roots are forming.
A good cellar is the ideal place for

HIGH FINANCE.

The man who stored his cotton
at twelve and a half cents has now
lost two and one-half dollars per
bale. He has paid forty cents
storage. He has lost eighty-five
cents in interest. if his cotton has
been in the warehouse sixty days,
a total of three and three-quarter
dollars, and still we are advised to
store cotton and borrow money.
When our friends the storers have
received thirteen and half cents
for their cotton, they will not be
ahead of the game.
In the meantime many of them,
perhaps, are owing money which is
past due, and the people they are
owing need the money to pay press
ing obligations. When you store
Gotten and refuse to pay your OBJ
legations, you may not know it, but
you abuse your own credit and
you hurt the financial standing of
the man you owe, which is an indi-
rect and serious loss to both of you.
If cotton were under the cost of
production, we believe it would pay
the farmer to hold, and the mer-
ehans and banker to help him hold,
but there is profit in cotton, a
good profit, at present prices, and
there is no excuse for man to hold
cotton as long as he owes money.
That is one of the troubles with
the South today. We will not pay
our obligations at maturity. And
when you ask for loan for a far
mer in the South at low rate of
interest, the first statement which
is made is that the people of the
South will not meet their obliga-
tions at maturity; that they will
not pay interest, much less principal,
because they "are holding their cot
tom"

and Greenwood to Atlanta, but not
even the Supervisor of the county
says anything about the proposed en-
terprise. If he thinks well of it
nobody knows it. If he disapproves,
nobody has been informed of it.
In the meantime we hear Of the
people of Anderson County advo-
eating the bridging of the river be-
tween Anderson County and the
Georgia side, and in little time we
will hear that the bridge has been
built, and that the travelling public,
on the National Highway, has put
Anderson on the map, and that Abb
beville and Pendleton are still in the
background.
Some radical measures must be
taken by our legislators on this sub
ject of good roads. The delega-
ton should not put this matter OF
roads under the supervision of one
man, and allow it to stay there, no
matter how good a man he is. The
law should declare what are and
what are not public highways. And
when these have been determined,
provision should be made for an en-
gineer to lay out and plan improve
ments for these highways, and
provision should be made for the
construction and maintenance OF
the same by contract. The present
methods are wasteful of the peoples
money and two hundred miles be-
hind the times.

this, as it is cool and dark. A dark
room will do, but if you have no other
place you can Gig trench in the
ground, sink the pots in it, draw the
soil around them and cover with
boards or leaves to exclude the light.
1t will take one month with some
bulbs, but most of them will require
about two months to develop the best
root growth. Where one has but a
month between the obtaining Of the
bulbs and Christmas, or some other
special time, she can force them into
bloom but it is at the expense of a
strong bulb to plant again next year.
In growing bulbs the soil should
never be allowed to become dry from
the time they are potted until they
are out of flower, neither should they
he kept so wet that the soil sours.
The roots of bulbs should never be
disturbed after they have started. At
ter bulbs have been in damp, dark,
cold place about a month, turn the
ball cf earth out of one of the pots
and if the roots have reached the out
side it is safe to bring them to the
window. Do not bring them all to
the light at the same time, that you
may have succession of blooms. 1t
is we'll to pot the bulbs at intervals
for by doing this you can have flow
ers during the greater part of the
winter. After the flowers appear keep
them out of the direct sunlight. 1t
burns them and they will not last as
long if exposed to it.
A few of the best flowers to grow
are freesias, which are about the cas-
lest of all bulbs to grow indoors; mar
cissus which are like sunshine; JON
quils, which because of their fra
GRANGE and profusion are great favor
ties, and last but not least hyacinths.
Growing Bulbs in Water.-The Chi
nese Sacred Lily and the Dutch hya-
cinth bloom very well in water.
Place the bulbs at the top of a glass
or on stones or very coarse gravel in
deep dish. Place them so that the
water comes up and barely touches
the base of the bulb. Put them away
in dark cupboard or cellar for few
weeks until a good root system has
developed. When the roots reach the
bottom of the glass bring the bulbs
into the window to flower Growing
these bulbs in water is especially in
teresting and enlightening to young
children. 1t is very nice to give each
child in the family bulb for which
he or she is entirely responsible.

TWO HUNDRED MILES BEHIND.

We are informed by the Anderson
Intelligencer that Mr.. Glenn Evans,
of the Owl Drug Store, of that city,
thinks the City of Abbeville two
hundred miles behind Pendleton.
That is some indictment, but the
Owls are very wise looking birds,
even when they are Matched in
Pendleton.
And a man from Elberton, who
has been trying to interest the peo-
pie en- this side of the Savannah in
the building of a bridge across the
river is of a like opinion.
The truth is, as we have remarked
before, that local traffic within a
very short time will be carried OH
by motor cars and motor trucks.
Already the railroads are complain
ing that the automobile is making
a serious cut in the income from
passenger traffic. And it will be
only d little time until the same will
be true of the local hauls in freight
traffic. The ten and twenty ton
trucks now being operated in the
cities will carry to points twenty
miles from the centers of CONNER
cial activity all local freight within
the next ten or fifteen years.
This being the case, it behooves
the people of such cities as expect
to live, to see that their towns are
on the map when it comes to build
ing good roads. A former cores
pondent of this paper states that a
first class highway has already been
constructed from Atlanta to Athens.
He advocates the building of this
highway through Elberton into Abb
beville county, and through the col
umns of this paper we have given to
the people of the county his plans
for consideration. But we have
not heard of anybody being inter-
estcd. With the road open, we
would be on a first class highway
from Spartanburg, through Laurens

When Lunch Hour Rolls Around
Picnic Parties Stop for a

Omitted Press STAT Correspondent,

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2s.+
The great American lunch bagke,
has come into It's own. If II isn't
a basket. then it's a box. but in
either instance. concealed in the
depths is picnic food.
There are probably more than
10000 picnics here every day. One
of the strongest indications that
America Is really here and taking
in the Exposition for all it's worth
is that 1t brought its lunch. In the
early days of the Exposition yisi-
tors to the big fair were mostly
native sons. San Francisco spent
its afternoons wandering through
the big palaces or along the palm
lined avenues. or hustled out in the
evening for a whirl on the Zone.
But these people were not troubled
much with the question of eating
When they did eat they dropped in
to one of the cafes where there is
music and dancing, If they did not
grab something quick from a spin
die on which roast chickens, hot
dogs and slabs of beef we're re
volving. They are still doing the
Exposition and hundreds of others
like them are ON the scene, But an
Exposition crowd travels on its
stomach Just as much as an army
and no successful army. can depend
on foraging. Therefore the lunch
basket.
The crowds now visiting San
Francisco are made up of people
who have travelled across the con-
tinent or part way across, TO sec
the Exposition. They go out to the
grounds early and stay late. One,
or possibly a couple of filings at the
Zone and they are about through
with that part of the fair. But hour
after hour they put in viewing the
