Successful Library Week.

In nearly every city in the state,
December to 9, was Library Week.
Its purpose was to make every person
in the community fully conscious of the
fact there is library in its midst, and
that its usefulness ought to be realized
and utilized by both old and young.
| In our city the library board sought
to suggest this by sending invitations,
both oral and written, to people urg-
ing them to visit our beautiful library
and find out for themselves its possi-
bilities.
They salso tried to interest and at
tract the attention of patrons of the
moving picture theatre by slides adver-
tising the aim, purpose and scope of
the library.
To the children of the different grades
in our public schools an invitation to
visit the public library was extended,
and they delightfully."- responded by en-
tertaining those present with songs,
recitations and concert readings.
Thursday evening Supt, w. r. Rood
gave very interesting and instructive
talk on Good Books"
The success of Library Week is
mainly due to the teachers and pupils
of our schools, to whom we acknow-
ledge our Indebtedness.
1t is worth while to mention the fact
that the children, both big and little,
appreciate and utilize the library and
in time to come win be its most willing
suppoi ters.

Beware of Auto Gas.

Darlington Democrat
AS District Attorney C. f. Mcdaniel
was making Nome slight adjustments
on his auto engine last Sunday evening,
it is evident n)w that ne escaped as
phyxiation by very narrow margin.
In order not to disturb his neighbors on
| the quiet Sabbath eve. he had closed
the garage doors and was letting the
engine go full blast while he oiled and
adjusted it. Ii was not long before
| auto gas, which is deadly poison and
absolutely odorless, we understand,
had gotten in some of its work and
'Mack" fell unconscious to the floor.
How long he was there he does not
know, but as be rallied little. too
weak to stand. he dragged himself to
the door, which he easily forced open.
The fresh air revived his physical
strength, but heavy. fanciful mind
now played him trick. and he entered
the building a second time to shut
down his engine He staggered around
and without remembering any of the
particulars, succeeded in turning the
right levers to cut off the power.
Through his falling and floundering he
had received several bad gashes about
the face and head, and when he APP
peared in his home was scarcely recog-
nized by his family. A doctor was
summoned at once. and aside from
medley Of imaginary sounds, MIR. Nc
Daniel was practically normal the next
morning, This is the first case of the
kind that has ever happened here at
home, though we have read of similar
cases number of times. 1t is an OBJ
ject lesson that should not soon be for
gotten by everyone who handles car,
and shows clearly that auto gas can be
inhaled to the very point of asphyxia-
ton without being detected by the vic
tim.

Sale of the Red Cross Christmas Seals

The purpose of the sale of these seals
is TOO well known to need explanation.
Every penny which buys seal helps
IN the fight against tuberculosis in Wis
consin. The mail order plan which is
peing used this year makes it conven-
lent for everyone to help as much as
possible. The seals are sent from
headquarters and the unused seals and
money are returned to w. r. Rood,
who will act as campaign manager for
Mineral Point. The results Will be
published after the campaign is over.
The seals are also on sale at the lead
ing business places. Without doubt
Mineral Point will do its share in the
great fight being waged against tuber-
culosis.

OUR AGRICULTURAL DEPAR TMENT
Winter Covers Save Plant Food.

WINTER lovers Save Plant Food.
Every acre of the farm should no
occupied by cover crop this winter.
Unless the land is coy.reo large
amount of plant food will be lost
through bleaching. The winters are 60
warm that the soil organisms which
liperate plant food are active practi-
caily all the time The material

it is sandy.
crop should be grown to use the
pant 1000 liberated The following
crops are suitable for winter covers:
oats barley, rape, rye (preferably
Abruzzi or Florida grown,) crimson
clover and hairy vetch. the last two
are best to grow, wherever they can
De grown, because they will not only
conserve soil fertility but they viii
add nitrogen to the soil. Crimson
clover will do best on the heavier
types Of well drained neutral. or aka
line soils. 1T is not advisable to sow
rape on poor land.
The oats and rye may be used for
gram or pasture and at the same
time protect the land against bleach
ing. Where ever possible one of the
lsEumes should be planted, because
the soil will need the nitrogen which
it will add.
Test Oats Seed Before Planting.
Oats seed shold be tested before
ky are planted. There is no way
OF accurately determining the germi-
nation powers of seeds without run
nlng the test. 1t is expensive to
make the test in the field. There is
no chance of rejecting the seed after
they are planted and no way of
knowing whether the poor stand was
caused by poor seed. It will proba-
bly, be too late to reseed if a poor
stand is obtained.
These Acres Carry Double.
You have heard about the man
who kills two birds with the same
stone? Well, the Florida farmer can
turn the trick every year.
M. Crews, manager of Kokomo
Farms, in Alachua county, figures
his companion crops separately. He
has about 800 acres of corn. He es-
timated that it will average 20 bush
e4ssto the acre. That is fair aver
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-10-01

age for so many acres and 1t is
about five bushels higher than the
state average last yea.. Aside from
that Mr.. Crews expects to fatten five
hogs on each acre of peanuts which
he has growing, with the corn. In
other words he considers each acre
on which corn and peanuts are
growing as two acres.
Packers Discriminate Against Pea
nut-Fed Hogs.
Meat packers have always objected
to peanut-fed hogs, because the meat
and lard are too soft and oily. This
objection is more frequently met in
hogs that were in poor condition
when they were turned on the peanuts.
If they have been fed well all sum-
mer before pasturing the peanuts
their meat and lard will not be so
oily.
Packers require that the animals
be finished on corn or sweet potatoes
during the last few weeks before they
are placed on the market. 1t is best
to give some of these feeds along
with the peanuts, and the final
change to the finishing feeds should
be made gradually over sixty or more
days.
Destruction of Cotton Stalks Cur
tails WeeviIs.
The first weevils which attack the
cotton crop in spring are those which
have wintered in the ADULT stage.
These adults depend on the late cot
ton for existence until time to go into
winter quarters. Enough weevils
will live through this winter to infest
the crop next year and insure the
spread of the pest to new areas.
The stalk should be plowed under
four or more nches with a two
horse pillow. A spike tooth or disk
harrow should be run anead of the
pillow so that the stalks can be turn
ed under readily. 1t is advisable to
pillow the stalks under and thus con-
serve the organic matter for the soil
If the farmer is not equipped for
blowing the stalks under, he may cut
and windrow them. As soon as the
leaves and lighter parts have brown
ed enough to burn, fire should be run
through them. This will save the
heavier parts of the stalks for turn
ing under.

General Lung Chi-kuang, who was
military governor of Canton before
Ii Yuan-hung became president. was
renamed by LII Yuan-hung to hold the
same office. However, the OPPOSE

General Lung Chi Kuang was so
strong that President Lii Yuan-haug
was compelled to name General Lu

eral Lu is in Kwangsi, and has not
yet gone to Kwangtung province. He
is reported to be on his way there.
but there are many rumors as to
what his intentions are The hold
of the Picking government on Canton
and kwangtung province is so very
slender that it is doubtful whether
its new appointee will be able to
restore harmony when he reaches
Canton.
In the meantime General Tsen

place General Lung Chi-kuang, whom
they denounce as a monarchist and a
man thoroughly out of sympathy

In fact il can be said that the man died q living death, for. standing enveloped to his middle in the falling debris of the first slab, he could see the second, which eventually crushed out his life, falling from the roof of tne drift In the meantime he called TOT help, which reached him just as the second slab fell on him. Work was started immediately removing the dirt, but when the laborers reached the body, about 45 minutes later. life was extinct. -,n examination revealed the fact that the chest of the man was cay ed in while his neck and one of his legs were broken. It is therefore sup posed that he was unable to help him. self after the first slab came down, on account of the broken leg the second slab beng held accountable for the fur ther mutilation of the body.
