OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

We are publishing in this issue an
article from The Columbia State on
the matter of fertilization of the soil.
which we hope every farmer in Lam
caster county will read. The price of
commercial fertilizers has gone so
hibh that it will not be profitable to
use them, but it is within the power
of every farmer if he will commence
in time to make his own fertilizer.
This will be more important for the
next years crop than it was for the
crop of this year. owing TO the fact
that the commercial fertilizers put in
the ground last year had not all been
exhausted and was available for this
years crop. Such will not be the
case for the incoming year. The
only remedy is 10 SOW cover crops.
such as rye. barley and clover and
turn them under in the spring. Then
the manure from the stock on the
farm should be raked up and kept
under cover. But there should be no
further delay in the planting of the
cover crops, for the freezes of winter
will soon be on and these crops
should be we'll up before ahat time.
In this connection The State COM
ments as follws:
at is manifestly of first import
ance that this information be placed
in he hands of the farmers, if il is to
have value. without delay If the
crops of rye, oats and wheat are TO be
sown there is no time to lose. The
corps of farm demonstra ion workers
and other agricultural agencies will
no doubt exert themselves energeti-
cally to inform the farmers about the
most effective way of meeting the
new problem presented by the scar
city and high prices OF potash sui.

terials, but they should have the as
sistance Of the press. Every news
paper in the state, daily or weekly,
that promptly publishes the letter Of
Mr.. Coker will perform a service to
the farmers who read it. By intelli-
gent planning and preparation 1t is
certain that cotton can be produced
profitably next year, despite the alb
sence of some of the fertilizers here
tofore regarded indispensable, but in
a few weeks the time of planning and
PREPARATION will have passed"

ball Garnc.

7ne game of basketball between
WaNhaw and Lancaster, which was
played on the local grounds Thursday
afternoon was exciting from begin
min" to end. The WaXhaw team was
larger than the local team. but il was

own against their larger opponents.
The game was called promptly at
4:15. Lancaster led off by making
goal in the first half minute of
play. The Waxhaw guards were on
the alert at the next toss-up and
the ball passed rapidly from one end
of the court TO the other. At the end
of the first half the score stood Sc
in favor of Lancaster Both teams
did better and harder playing during
the second half of the game, Lancas-
ter making only 4 more points and
WaXhaw three. The final score stood
1873 in favor Of Lancaster. The best
playing for Lancaster was done by
Caroline Porter, Freddie Knight and
Eva Parks, for Waxhaw the star
playing was done by the forwards,
Lucille Niven and Kathleen Outen.
The line up for the game was as
follows:
Forwards, Lancaster, Guy Skip
per, Caroline Porter; guards. Lancas-
ter, Eva Parks, Beulah Lingle; CEN
ters, Lancaster, Freddie Knight,

Twcedledum and TweedIedee

Once there was a church member
in Danville who had made money by
specializing in cotton. His brethren
in the church went so far as to warn
him that it would be an offence to the
Lord for him to give to the church
any OF the money he had made by
gambling in cotton. He asked his
brethren If money made in his to-
bacco deals would be acceptable, and
as most of the brethren were them
selves tobacco dealers, they replied
naturally, that the tobacco-earned
money was perfectly clean and, there
fore acceptable. But the speculator
gave nothing, and when called upon
Ior an explanation said that he had
carclcssly mixed the tobacco money
and the cotton money, so that he did
not know which was church-going
