TACKY PARTY
PROVES SUCCESS

The tacky party Saturday night in
aid OF Blowing Spring fund, was big
success. The affair was held in the
town hall, and the young people enter
ed into it with Zest and the garbs
were very elaborate. The young mar
ried folks took star parts in the fun,
making ''perfect FOOLS Of themselves
for the edifcation of those who didn't
participate. The fun was started at
8 O'Clock with grand procession to
the tune of Clayton's Grand March,
played by Miss Somebody from some
hollow or other. Then there was po-
tato race won by Frank Harris, and
the rest of the evening given up to
games, gags, and singing. Lemonade
was served free, and it is hoped that
everybody got enough. Prizes were
awarded to Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Byrd
as the country folks, who were ad-
Judged to be the tackyest couple, and
they received the prizes offered "aw-
full graceful" The judges were Mr.
Minor, Mr., L. Gland and Mr.. Lawson.
1t was intended to have a program
but the affair was gotten up in "a
hours time and the managers could
not make the necessary arrangements.
But as it was, everybody had lots of
fun and next day all were complain
ing of a new disease, the ''jaw-ake, +"
caused by excessive laughing. The
big floor of the hall was cleared of
seats. and it made fine floor for the
promenade A large number of peo-
pie not participating in the tacky
effect were present, including an anna
teur detective who is alleged to have
dropped some hardware, while some of
the nontacky individuals were engag-
ed in rather rough game of "snap''
in remote corner by themselves.
Some said it was flashlight, but any
way it flashed out of sight in a jiffy.
The young man evidently thought be
might effect an important piece Of
work during the evening. The re-
ceipts of evening we're $6 25, a small
admission being charged at door, 1Oc.
The expense for lemonade and prizes
was $1.25.

BIC FAMILY
REUNION PROPOSED

The Raulston and Beene families Of
big reunion here of each family and
their relations some time during this
summer, and the attendance will be
very large as the families are very
numerous in number. Two places
have been proposed for the reunion,
one at the Blue Spring on Battle
Greek, the old historic home Of the
family in It's first settling in this
county, and the other at the Blowing
Spring here. The Blue Spring is en-
closed and hardly available for a
camping site, and the concensus of op-
inion Is that the reunion will be held
here.
1t is proposed to hold session of
several days. possibly, and tents will
be secured and large number will
camp here, and Mr.. Sherman. mana
ger of the property here. has kindly
consented to allow them the use of the
space adjacent to the spring for
camping ground, and cordially invites
them to make Sequachee their head
quarters. That the attendance will
be very large is certain, as the family
is represented In every state Of the
Union, and many would come long
distances to be present. The family
and relatives in this county alone,
would make a very large gathering.
Mr.. J. W. Raulston,, of WhitweIl,
and others are at the head OF the
movement. and meeting will be
called In the near future to perfect
plans for organization and manage
ment of the reunion and encampment.
We invite them to meet at the Town
Hall this place, next month and ar
range date, and managing committees.
and that Sequachee will be glad to
have the visitors goes without qnes-
tion.

County Improvement League Data
By County Agent F. c. WARNER,

picked on, hot days should not be pack Jed until the following day. For this
 purpose shelter should be provided in
 order that the fruit may be packed in
 a cool; Edry condition. Growers who
 have no packing sheds should either
 build them or arrange to use their
 barn floors. The wagons should be
 equipped with springs and cover pro-
 vided for the protection of the fruit
 from the weather. '-
 Culls and cider stock should be eliin-
 mated from the. better grades and as
 far as possible diverted to cider mills,
 canneries, and evaporators. While In short-crop years there is a fair de-
 mand+ for low class apples, still by filling the autumn markets with poor stocks, it is possible to obstruct Seri= ously the disposition of the standard grades. and force into cold <, storage larger quantities than the conditions
 may justify. In general, only long,
 keep standard-pack. apples should be placed in the coolers, though it is fre- quently profitable to store for rela- lively short periods such sorts as Grimes. Wealthy. and Jonathan, for withdrawl during autumn and early winter as the demand justifies. In packing fruit for storage special care 1 should be exercised to pick the fruit in L sound condition, pack it carefully, and | rush 1t into storage without. delay | Such methods add materially to the | life of the product.

ALFALFA.

 A Soil Builder.


 It Is a good plan to cut the alfalfa in the evening. before the dew has failed. or in the morning. after the dew fs off- If the crop is very heavy, a tedder can be used to advantage in the late forenoon or early afternoon after curling With good drying weather, the hay can sometimes be raked and cooked the same day h is cut even though ft appears somewhat green Hr-s-s .es- |.. '.1 .r
 Alfalfa is sometimes put into the cock and stock or mown too green. but out too much. The leaves form the best part of the alfalfa hay. When zl- falfa hay Is cured in the swath, the leaves dry much more rapidly than the stemS and when handled drop ofl somewhat more eesiiy than the clover leaveRF onp account of slender Gttach- ment. .f aa@e--'a. a. -fI-
 When the hay is partly cured in the svath. and cooked quite green, the moisture from the stems keeps the leaves damp. and both dry out togeth- CT. Besides saving more of the leaves. hay of better coior and higher in nutritive value Is secured by this method Akalfa can be put in the stack or the mow at about the same stage of drying as clover. with similar results If put into the stack or m0w too green musty hay will result Red clover ia an excellent soil-fm- | prover and should continue to be used | for this purpose. but a ton of alfalfa contains seven pounds of nitrogen and one pound of phosphortc acid more than | the same amount of clover. The total manure produced as q by-product in feeding a ton of alfalfa hay is rela- | lively more valuable than the total | manure produced in feeding the same amount of clover hay, because richer | in nitrogen.
 Alfalfa has a deeper and heavier root system than clover and Is more efficient fin adding vegetable matter oi a high nitrogen content to the soil The deeper root system makes alfalfa more efficient than, red clover in using the mineral matter contained in tho | subsoil and improving drainage. Look ing toward the future with respec, both to producing higher yield of ( more valuable forage per acre and tC maintaining the productivity of tn. soil. it Is a matter of wisdom to rafs, more acres of clover and alfalfa ant fewer acres of timothy.
