Uncovered Hillside Soils Lose
Tons of Fertility Annually
That Could Be Saved.
TERRACING WILL SAVE IT
Laying or Terraces on the Slopes and
Growing Winter Cover crops VIII
Save Millions to South Carolina
iy Costly In Piedmont Section Of
State.

South Carolina farmers, and espe-
cially those in the hilly Piedmont sec
ton. need TO terrace their lands to
keep the soil from being washed away
by erosion. which Is wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The ero-
sion caused by rain water washes
thousands of tons OF soil annually
from the lands Of this state. with a
consequent loss OF fertility. Natures
method OF preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
leaves, and grass. Mans method is
to terrace and grow winter cover
crops.
A terrace is a ridge OF soil thrown
up In such a manner as to prevent
water from flowing rapidly down q
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing.
Use a leveling instrument I'm run
ming lines for terraces. One can be
had for from $12 to $25 and can be
used for many other kinds OF work on
the farm. 1t is necessary also to have
8 hillside" plow. so that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line OF the
terrace, by the use of the leveling in
strument, begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
II, using a hillside plow, throw the
next furrow down hill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until the
proper distance has been covered to
get an elevation OF about three feet.
This system. having the terraces about
three feet high and vertical, will give
what is known as the level bench
terrace. the land between any two
terraces becoming level bench with
no fall I'm any direction after few
years. cultivation. The level bench
terrace is best suited to most OF the
farms in Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as a rule, near the
upper edge of the hillside field, be-
cause IL the top terrace breaks 1t is
we'll nigh impossible to prevent the
terraces below from being swept
away.
Run q terrace or ditch at the upper
edge OF the field to care for the sur
plus water which may come from an
adjoining field, pasture or woodland.
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system OF terraces to
control.
Crossing terraces with teams. plows
or wagons will form depressions that
IN
start gullies. which weaken and de-
stroy a terrace. Avoid this by leav-
ing at the end OF the field a sodded
slope to be used as a road TO get from
terrace bench to another.

TREES LOOK AS If SHOT
Effect Of Shot Hole Borer on Fruit
Trees and What to Do to Control
This Insect Pest.

Whenever your fruit trees die back
and you find little holes in the bark
that make you think somebody had
shot into the trees with a shotgun
loaded with No. 8 shot, those trees are
infested with shot hole borers. II with
your knife blade you peel Off the bark
you will find not sap wood, but a mass
OF sawdust instead. Shot hole borers
usually attack tree that has been
weakened. The principal causes OF
weakening in trees are scale and
borers. badly infested tree should
be cut out and burned during winter.
Badly infested branches should be cut
from tree and the tree stimulated
Insects stay over winter In bark as
little white grubs and pupae. BY care
fully watching the tree one may deter.
mine the time when the last brood OF
beetles has come out. which Is about
the middle OF September At that
time the following wash should be ap-
piled TO the tree:
Quick lime. ............20 20 lbs.
Soap mot coal tar or naphtha) 3 lbs

Dissolve the soap in gallons of
hot water. With water batter the sui

shaking in barrel. add the soap and
the suifur and slowly dilute until
the whole mass makes 25 gallons. The
salt has no advantage except to make
the wash stick faster to the trees.
This wash can be applied with
small paint or vhitewash brush. The
trunk and large branches should bs
thoroughly covered.

 In speaking of the merits of "Parfay" and the value of it's distributing rights, Mir. Smith said this morning: From the very start we were impressed by the value of Parfay itself. We found that it was more than a mighty good drink; we found that it possessed qualities that we had never been able to discover in any other soft drink; natur- ally, this made us interested in securing the bottling and dis tributing rights for this section of Arkansas.
 But it was only after The Parfay Company took us into their confidence and showed us what would be done to popular ize this drink in our section of the country that we became de- termined to secure the right to

handle 1t nere. We have always been firm believers in advertis- ing, especially in newspaper ad- vertising, and when The Parfay Company showed us the extent of the newspaper campaign as we'll as supplmentry advertising that would be put behind this drink, we realized that it was the opportunity of lifetime for us.
 In this day and age it is not enough merely to handle a sup erior product, because this is very much an advertising age and the people have learned that they can put their dependence upon the products which they see advertised in their own home papers. Without such confidence creating methods, it would be indeed hard to take any products, however good, and swing it into the public favor; but with the advertising such as is being put behind Parfay, the people are going to try the drink and once they have tried it, by sheer mer- it it will win a big place in their lives.
 For these reasons we are looking forward to phenomenal growth for the Prescott Ice & Milling Co. and from what we know has been accomplished in other cities, there is no doubt in my mind but what this plant will become one of the real worth while industries of this city,"
 The Prescott Ice & Milling Go. is being put in condition to hand le the volume of business that is sure to come as a result of the sales-rights that it has just se- cured and the opening of the season will find it in shape to take care of, in the best possible manner, the local and outlying
 rade.
 Mir. Smith is to be congratulat- ed on his work in bringing this important industry to Prescott and on securing for himself and his company such valuable business asset.
