LAURENS MAKES
BIG EXPERIMENT
Two Hundred Farmers to Try Crimson
Glover as Cover Crops. Twelve
Tons of Seed Ordered From
France.

Laurens, Sept. 17.-Laurens county
farmers are preparing to plant twelve
hundred acres in crimson clover this
fall. This important announcement
was made Saturday night by Percy
w. Moore, farm demonstrator for
Laurens. The enterprise is not only
thebiggest thing on foot in Laurens,
but it surpasses anything of the kind in
the state, according to authoritative
information. Twenty four thousand
pounds, or twelve tons Of seed have
been ordered through the county agri-
cultural department and the shipment
was made yesterday from large
wholesale seed house, Mr.. Moore being
so advised Saturday The house from
which the seed was purchased says
that the Laurens order was the largest
ever filled by the firm.
These seed will be received by 200
Leurens county farmers, the ship
ments being made individually, and as
stated, 1900 acres of Laurens county
farm land will be sown to this import
ant cover crop, for that is the purpose
of the whole scheme. The seed cost
l2 IL cents per pound and they come
from France.
The "Co-operative Glover Crop
Campaign as it has been rightly
termed, has been in progress for sew
eral weeks under the direction Of Mr..
Moore, and the success of it has been
a great satisfaction to the faithful and
enthusiastic farm demonstrator as
we'll as those who have co-operated
with him in the enterprise. Having
assurances that the scheme was going
to be a success, Mr.. Moore has dlready
been distributing information, obtain
ed through the national department
of agriculture, on the proper method
of preparing the soil and planting the
seed. and each subscriber will be pro-
vided with full directions on this i'm
portant point. las intimated, this first
crop on such a large scale, will be
devoted practically altogether as a
cover crop. the main idea being to
bring about an Improvement in the
productivenes of Laurens county farm
lands. Of course, as Mr.. Moore has
explained, each farmer can first save
the seed crop from the crop before
turning it under next spring. Ger
tainly it will be optional with him as
to whether he desires to save part
or all of it as forage crop. But it
is the understanding that the first
proposition is the aim and import OF
the plan.
Free of cost, the government is go
ing to furnish every clover farmer
with "pure culture with which the
seed will be inoculated before being
sown.
The shipment of the seed is expect
ed by Wednesday of this week and
the sowing will begin at once, for the
recent rains came at propitious
time.

A LARGE CONTRACT.
What Wilfred F. Root Wants Every
Person in Brattleboro to do.


When Wilfred F. Root, the enterpris-
ing druggist, first offered a 50-eent
package of DIR. Howard s specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
at half price, and guaranteed to return
the money if it did not cure, he thought
it probable from his experience with
other medicines for these diseases, that
he would have a good many packages
returned. But although he has sold
hundreds of bottles, not one has been
brought back.
Mr.. Root wants every person in Brat
tleboro who has constipation, dyspepsia
| headaches, or liver trouble to come to
his store or send him % cents by mai
and get 90 doses of the best medicine
ever made at half the regular price
with his personal guarantee to refund
the money if it does not cure.

FAvORS PROHIBITION.
Representative Hapgood Expresses
Views Concerning Proposed Step.

Editor of The Reformer:-
There is such n widespread misappre-
hension in regard to the change which
the proposed statewide prohibition, II
adopted would produce in the towns
which now vote against license that /
cannot refrain from attempting, at
least, to cause the true facts to be
known.
State wide prohibition would produce
no practical change whatever in the
towns which now vote against license.
There would be no license and the
/ same laws and machinery for its en-
/ forccment as now exist. Its main,
wcli-nigh only, object is to abolish the
/ chance fer the about one in twenty
/ towns which now vote for license,
quite all with a very close majority
from continuing to do so. The support
for license is now so extremely weak
that it is not considered advisable to
allow it to longer stir up every year
/ this extremely disagreeable matter,
when there are so many other matters
of high Importance which need cur SUI
preme attention.
1t has come to be considered that
the power of single town adopting IL
cense should no longer be able to reach
out and equally affect with its degrad-
ing influence all of the contiguous
towns, no matter how strongly they
may oppose license.
If the license people would confine
their sales to their own townspeOple, OIL
even attempt to, so far as state resi-
! dents are concerned, the outside places
would not so strongly oppose them, and
it would soon entirely kill license in al

Another way in which she spent her
