Sow Oats And Wheat" Will
Again Be Advice.

Clemson College, August g.
Sow oats and wheat" will once
more be the advice urged upon
the farmers of South Carolina
for their fall practice. On the
theory that general conditions
this fall will be very similar TO
those of last fall, especially inso
far as need for eConomizing and
for diversification is concerned,
the extension forces of Clemson
College will devote themselves,
as last year, to urging the sowing
OF the winter grain crops.
The Extension Division is
issuing two posters which will
be distributed about the state.
One poster gives advice for the
seeding of oats and wheat. The
other urges farmers to take
The Second Step-Livestock." "
These posters will be placed
COnSpICuouSly. This will be the
first act of the fall campaign.
Clemson College urges farm
erS TO sow large areas to oats
this fall. To this advice is
added the warning that farmers
should get their oats in the
ground early and not wait until
late, as SO many did last year.
The seeding of oats should begin
about the end of September.
Farmers are advised to sow
enough wheat for home con.
sumption. The state has every
reason TO feel satisfied with the
experiment of last fall. Today
there are probably more flour
mills in South Carolina than
ever before and the railroads
have granted very favorable
shipping rates. South Carolina
is now in a position TO raise
enough wheat tor her own
bread and this is what should be
done.

Do Not Pull Fodder.

Clemson College, August g.
One of the most costly mistakes
of Southern farmers is fodder
pulling. Pulling fodder not only
reduces the yield of corn but
also seriously injuries the
vitality of the seed for the fol-
lowing year.
Experiments conducted in
South Carolina on the Coker
farm IN Darlington County,
proved that when fodder was
pulled when the bottom leaves
began to turn, there was loss
of at least "a per cent in the
yield of corn. 1t pulled when
three fourths of the leaves were
dry, the decrease in yield was
about 10 per cent.
But this is not the only loss
from fodder-pulling. Pulling
fodder has a serious effect upon
the next years crop by lowering
the vitality of the seed produced
on stalks from which fodder is
pulled. By pulling fodder, there
fore, a man not only loses on
his current crop, but also dam
ages his chances of producing a
good crop the following year.
A good authority on the sub
ject advises that if farmer feels
he must pull fodder, he should
leave at least two or three acres
of his crop unpulled and from
this select his seed corn. In
this way he can keep up the
quality of his seed and not
suffer the second loss from fod-
der-pulling, that which comes
through planting inferior seed.

The outer line of forts to

to confirm that the main army

phone message to the Pee Dee
Advocate on Tuesday told of the
capture of fine deer in the up
per part of Dillon county by A.
H., w. D., G. M. and E. G. Web
ster, Sons of Robert Webster. Mr..
Webster has river pasture on
the Little Pee Dee, and the young
man found the deer herding with
the cows Tuesday. They drove
the deer and cows into the lot,
where they now have the deer
IN confinement. Numbers of
people have been to see IT and
they invite all their friends to
come and see the deer.
Last week deer tracks were
seen crossing the new Cheraw
road which was being built
across the plantation of f. D.
Graham, in Smithville township.
1t seems that deer are increasing
in this section, and if the game
laws are enforced, there may
soon be many of them in the

of September, 1915. You say
that you find that some of the
voters are under the impression
that registration certificates of
1915 are necessary. Others think
that if they have registered since
1903 they can vote, and still
others think that any registra-
ton certificate of whatever date,
will qualify them to vote.
In reply thereto. l will say
that in order to vote in this
election a registration certificate
| will be required that has been
issued during the year 1908 or
some year thereafter.
Bv Section 200 of the Code of
1912, a re-enrollment of all the
electors is provided to be made
in the year 1908, and the same
general enrolment of electors is
to be made every tenth year
thereafter.
If a voter has been registered
in the year 1908, or since that
time, a registration certificate

city will have far-reaching
effects on the Eastern and West
ern war teaters.
The first determined drive
against Warsaw from the West
occurred last October. ' ith
in a short time the German
advance guards penetrated to
within 19 miles of the city.
Russian reinforcements from
Galicia, were brought up and
the Germans were swept back OF
their borders.
Shortly afterward a second
attempt was launched from the
same direction and a great
battle developed along the
Rivers Warta and Vistula which
turned in favor of the Russians.
Later pitched battles were
fought around Lodz which the
Germans captured on December
6.
Another attempt at Warsaw
occurred in February after the
Russians had for the second
time been driven out of East
Prussia. This time the attack
came from the north and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's
forces reached and captured
Przasnysz with 10000 prisoners
February 25. Three days later,
however, the Russians re cap
tured it and put the Germans on
the defensive.
The fall of Warsaw marks
the elimination of the greatest
sustained offensive movement
