ORCHARD WORK FOR EARLY FALL

nurseries they represent may be all
right, but you are not always cure OF
what you are getting and in most eases
you are paying the agents salary and
the expense of delivering the trees. II
you are thinking Of setting out an or.
chard this fall, let US help you
improving the Orchard.
II you already have an orchard, why
not begin to improve It now? A. cover
crop sown now and turned next spring
will help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
of crimson clover seed per acre, sown
and disced, Will make a good cover.
provided the seed are fnoculated.
Three Decks of rye and 20 pounds Of
hairy yetch to the acre win also make
good cover for the orchard. II these
are turned next spring at the first cul-
tivation they will add lot OF fertility
to the soil will also help 10 hold mois-
ture.
There are a good many mummy
fruits hanging to the trees. These are
full of spores and If left in the Or
chard will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now Is a good time to
get these out OF the way. Pull and
burn them.
Borers may have been giving you
trouble. You were advised to paint
and mound the trees early IA summer.
The mounds should be pulled down on
October Is and the trees examined for
borers. The young borers are just
entering the trees the middle Of Octo-
ber and will be found going in just
above the level of the AiN of dirt you
pull down. II you find any of them,
scrape the bark off with knife and
the little borers will be destroyed.
The work at this season consists
largely in cleaning up and preparing
for winter and spring. II done prop
rely, the trees receive much benefit.

Every flock of chickens should have
house to live in. 1t need not be an
expensive building but it should be
bright and sanitary. The best place
to locate it is near some shade or
fruit trees, to protect the hens from
summer heat. The ground must be
dry and preferably of sandy loan.
The front or open side of the house
should face the south, SO as to have as
much sunlight as possible on the
floor. Cut 4-by-4-inch lumber for the
sills, two pieces 10 feet long and two
pieces 7 feet inches long, for the
house shown in the accompanying IL
lustration This will accommodate 40
laying hens. Then erect five front
studs feet long and four back studs
feet long. Put up the two center
studs, the plates and roof rafters.
Cover the frame with wide unplaned
boards (not recommended unless
-eheapness is primary consideration
and even then It Is better to cover
these boards with roofing paper, ton
gued-and-grooved flooring or weather
boarding,) If you use tongued-and-
grooved flooring, lay It up and down.
In the front side leave an opening
Z feet long by feet deep and door
space feet inches wide for the open
front and door. Roth openings extend
to the roof and the remaining 8 feet
(at the bottom) is closed to prevent
heavy wind or rain from blowing on
the chickens. The openings are COW

Have you supply of fruit on your
farm? If not, why not begin now to
make arrangements for it? On almost
every farm of the state there are a
few trees, producing small quantity
OF fruit. In most cases all the fruit
ripens at once and is soon gone, giving
q supply for only short time and leav-
ing none to put away for winter use.
No southern state Is better adapted
than South Carolina to producing fruit
for home use, yet millions Of dollars
leave the state every year for canned
fruit.
Preparing Soil.
At this season of the year (Septem-
Der 1 to October 15) orchards are usu-
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think
that there is nothing to be done then
that will be Of any material help. New
ertheless, now is the time to begin to
prepare soil for the trees that are set
ont this fall and winter. Select the
orchard site, break the soil as deeply
as possible and harrow thoroughly.
This work will greatly reduce the Ia
ter labor or setting the orchard.
Choosing Varieties.
What varieties are you going to
plant? This is point of great i'm
portance. Be sure to make selections
chat will provide fruit throughout an
entire season. If you are not familiar
with the varieties that are adapted to
your particular section, write to the
Extension Division, Clemson College,
for Bulletin No. Is. In this will be
found lists of varieties suitable for the
various sections of the state.
Buying Trees.
;, Where are you going to get your
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? If you are not in touch
with a reliable nursery and II you are
not familiar with the prices Of trees.

lege will be glad to help you in this
matter. Beware of the tree agent. The

the question in its different phases the
threatening storm clouds were dfspelled'
after which the convention unanimously
voted to nay the owner the sum OF SIZE
for another years rental of the coveted
real estate. the same as has been done
for sveral years past.
Article provided for the raising OF
sum Of money for the purpose Of remod-
cling the Willis N r. Smith school bufld-
ing at the corner of Bridge and State
streets, and the discussion which followed
came very near disrupting the harmony
which had Just been reached and which
had followed the passage OF the vote on
the playground matter.
The subject Of the fitness Of the school
building for use as an educational insti-
tuition was taken up and the expression
Of opinion by those who participated in
the discussion was that the building was
IN every way unfit in its present state for
the purposes for which it was erected,
and not only that, it was characterized
as unsafe and a menace to the health OF
the children who attend school there. All
agreed that the building should be re-
modelled throughout or should give way
to a new and more modern building, and
while the majority appeared to be Of the
opinion that the proposed improvements
might be put OF until another year. there
were others who believed that there was
an imperative need that the improve
ments should be made before the COM
mencements Of the September term. A
$4,000 bond issue was also advocated, but
this was not considered advisable and
the matter was finally disposed of by
placing it in the hands of the Board OF
Education in order that estimates might
be secured by that body as to just what
was needed to be done. either in the way
OF feanodelling the present building or
erecting new one, together with the
cost thereof. and that the report Of the
board be submitted, either at a special
meeting or at the next annual school
meeting. Following this action the meet
ing was adjourned.
