get one or more head of pure
bred beef cattle this fall. 1t is
necessary to get these men in
touch with this office within the
next few weeks so that we may
find out just what they want,
and SO far as possible fill their
own particular needs. The
registered Hereford bulls which
we have brought in heretofore
have cost between $125 and $3.50,
and the Angus bulls approxi-
mately the same price. Regis
tered heifers have cost on the
average about $500 less.
Please keep this in mind and
communicate with this office in

be interested in this mrtter.

/ July rs, 1915.
l. "A: Bowen. Farm Demonstration Act.
| Pickens county.
| Dear Sir: | want to cal,
your attention. to the fact that
IL IS going to be impossible to Sc
cure vetch seed this wear owing
TO the impossibility of import
ing them from Germany and
Russia. We are fortunate, how
ever, in having saved a great
quantity of bur clover seed in
the state.
| am writing to call attention
to the fact that Colonel Allan
Johnst0ne of Newberry has a
large quantity on hand and if
any OF your people need bur clo-
yer seed 1 would suggest that
you direct them to him.
There is going to be a tremen-
dous demand for bur clover seed
this year and as South Carolina
has the largest quantity on
hand Of any state in the South
many of our neighboring states
will want to secure their supply
from us. 1t will be exceedingly
unfortunate if we permit any
bur clover seed to be shipped out
of this state. So notify the
farmers in your county of this
fact and urge them to buy at
once.
l want you to keep this al
ways before you, that the great
work for the county agent to do
is to build up our poor soil, for
it matters not what may be our
plans for the development of
agriculture in the state unless
we have a fertile soil very little
can be accomplished.

THE HORRIBLE NESS

When the raid on the United States
Treasury was at its height in the re-
cent spendthrift Congress. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald. the Democratic chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, char
acterized the conditions as "a hor-
ribie mess" As indicating the inefn-
cheney OF that Congress. an amusing
situation confronts the Treasury in
the disclosure that the appropriations
are 100000 short OF the necessary
sum to meet the wages OF the janitors.

Federal buildings OF the country.
That Is. this Is amusing to everybody
except the employees who are affected
by this remarkable oversight. And
Isn't IL just too wonderful for any
thing that the profigate Congress
missed this chance OF adding a com
Portable lump sum to it's extravagant
record
IL IL pitiful. because this error works
hardship on those least able TO bear
q loss of wages. for that is what the
treasury Department proposes 10 in
nict on them for the omissionaI sins
OF Congress. 1t will be noticed that
that body took good care to have no
deficiency IN the appropriations for
the big salaried positions. This def
cheney will affect several thousand OF
the humblest employees in the service.
and TO get around the dilemma the
Treasury Department proposes TO lay
on the janitors. watchmen and scrub
women for eight days. four days in
this month and four days in June. and
then everything will 20 along as merry
as usual But is Il possible that no
one is to janitor. no one Is to watch,
end no one is TO scrub during the
hiatus? II there is a finer instance OF
saving at the spigot and wasting at
the bunghole. we should like TO hear
OF it, with accompanying afndavits.
