JAMES BURGESS is
KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
Neck Broken BY Fall From Wagon.
Fatal Injuries Sustained by Far
mer Wednesday Evening.

James Burgess, well-to-do farmer
of the Grassy Pond section of the
county, was killed Wednesday after
noon about 5 o'clock when he fell
from his wagon with his mules run
ming away at the time. According to
the physician who examined the body,
his neck was broken, his left arm
broken in two places, his right jaw
bone broken, and there was confused
wound in his right cheek. The acci-
dent happened within the city limits
Mr.. Burgess was alone on his wagon
and it is presumed that he had started
on his way home, about eight miles
from Gaffney.
Several people saw the accident,
but none knew what caused the mules
to run. An inquest was held Wednes-
day night at the city hall by Coroner
E. R. Parker. The jury found that
the deceased came to his death as a
result of being thrown from his
wagon by runaway team.
From the evidence submitted at the
| inquest, it seems that while attempt
ing to get his mules under control Mr..
Burgess fell from the wagon, which
was without a bed, and was dragged
some Is feet before becoming freed
from an ENHANCEMENT with the lines.
]. S. Graham was the first man to
reach him after the accident. Mr..
Graham said that he was dead when
he got to him.
Mr.. Burgess was about 62 years of
age. He is survived by his wife and
seven children, as follows: Lummie
Burgess and Mrs. Ed. Humphries of
ITexas; Mrs. Shay Wood, Gaffney;
Miss Eda Burgess, at home; Mrs.
Myrtle Horton, of Grassy Pond; N. T.
Burgess, Gaffney; and Howard Bur-
CESS, at home. Mrs. Burgess, before
marriage, was Miss Frances Spencer,
daughter of Mr.. Thomas Spencer, of
the Pondfield section of the county.
Funeral and burial services over the
remains of Mr.. Burgess were held
Sunday at Corinth church.-Gaffney

KELTON

Kelton, Jan. 1O.-All business farm
ers are getting busy now preparing or
beginning plans for the 1916 year
crop.
The weather is very threatening
this evening and we look for rain or
snow by morning.
Mr.. Charles Broom's daughter, of
Lockhart, died last Friday and was
buried at Mt. Joy church Saturday.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Hodges of Spartan
burg, her former pastor.
There was not very large crowd at
the burying, as her death was not gen
orally known in this community. The
bereaved fl1iily have the sympathy of
this community in the death of their
dear loved one.
Mr.. Daniel Garner, one of the old
Confederate soldiers, is very sick at

saw in the Progressive Farmer of
recent date good advice to husbands
how to begin the new year by helping
their wives in many ways. So on
New Years day 1 arose early and
made a fire in the room, then made
one in the cooking stove, put water
in the kettle, ground coffee and after
breakfast went to the we'll and drew
water, then put my arms around my
wife's neck and kissed her and told
her my New Years resolution. She
only made light of me and said II
wouldn't last long. Now, isn't that
poor encouragement.
1 was travelling around the other
good people and as I was getting
ready to leave one of the ladies said
to me, "Hold on, let me pin on your
coat Christmas flower" Sure it was
a beauty. I said to her, "You are
fixing to get me in trouble" She said
"Oh, you tell Cousin Ellen to take
good care of this flower tonight and
in the morning before she starts to
church to pin it on her new dress
That sounded mighty nice, SO as soon
as l got home 1 said, "Look here
what a pretty flower" She looked at
it and said it was beautiful indeed
and asked where I got it. I told her
the above story and all was well. Now
it is a good thing to take women's
advice. We won't get into much trou-
BILE if we do. G. T. G.

In letter to Gov. Manning, Chief
Duncan states that in the past three
days the constables working in Char

SCHOOL CREDIT FOR
FARM TASKS

Washington, D. C.-The idea that
certain practical work done by boys
and girls on the farm should count as
credits in the agricultural courses of
the rural elementary and high schools
is growing rapidly in popularity
among educators. The basis for this
idea is the belief that the farm may
and should become the logical labor
atory for testing out and putting into
practice much that is taught in the
schools, and that the schools by CIV
ing credit for home work can and
should encourage boys and girls to
make profits for themselves or to be-
come more directly helpful to their
families. Educators, however, find
some difficulty in defining just what
work that the boy does on the farm
should receive an educational credit
and how many credits should be al
lotted for the different kinds of
work which really help the boy to
master progressive methods.
To assist the superintendent of
schools and teachers, the specialists
in Agricultural Education in the
States Relations Service have recently
published U. S. Department of Agri-
culture Bulletin 1856, School Credit for
Home Practice in Agriculture. This
bulletin which may be had free by edu-
Gators as long as the Department IS
supply lasts, devotes a number of
pages to tables and examples showing

the nature of school credit projects
and the amount of credit to be grant
ed. 1t is recognized, however, that
real cooperation on the part of the
parent is essential and the author thus
defines the part the parent must play
in any plan for making school and
farm work closer together in the
interests of agricultural education:
The parent should agree: (1) To
permit the pupil to use specified land,
animals, and equipment, either as
temporary owner or a tenant so far
as the needs of the project are con-
cerned: (2) to grant the pupil the
time needed for the work and to YER
ify and vouch for the time record; (3)
to instruct the pupil in the necessary
manipulation so far as practicable; (4)
to allow the pupil the profits derived
from his own labor and management
The last point is not always feasible,
particularly where the pupil takes up
one phase of the main business of the
farm, such as the weighing and test
ing of milk for dairy herd.
The parent must at least give an
unbiased voucher of the time and ex-
pense record, and a statement that
the project work was all done by the
pupil. In the absence of an advisory
committee or an inspector, the parent
is the judge as to when the pupil
has accomplished task successfully
Where the pupils time is much
needed by the parent in regular home
duties it may be well to advise that
the pupil take over some part of that
home work as a project. This will
insure the cooperation of the parents
although the managerial" income
NAV not come to the pupil.
The school should not only give
credit fir work for which the pupil
receives pay, but should consider the
relative income or profit as one i'm.
portant factor in determining the
school rank given on the project.
To insure success, it will be very de,
sirable to have a memorandum OF
agreement signed by all parties befor,
the project begins; report in full
from the pupil. and voucher from
the parent at the end.

II ouseh old HintC..
Unexpectedly the British scouts have

a sheet of asbestos, the kind plumbers
use in covering pipes. If this is not
to be had, put into the oven shallow
pans containing about two inches of
boiling water.
Sterilize the jars and cans. Make
sirup of sugar and water. Wash
and otherwise prepare the fruit. Pack
the hot jars with fruit and fill with
sirup. Run blade of knife around the
inside of jar.
Stewing Process.
Place jars in oven, either on the
asbestos sheet or in the pan of water.
Have the oven moderately hot. Cook
the fruit from 10 to Is minutes. Re-
move from the oven and fill with boil
ing sirup.
Wipe jar and seal. Set jars upside
tdown on clean shelf out of draft.
The next day tighten covers and seal
edge with melted paraffin.
If fruits are to be canned by the
stewing process, use a porcelain or
aluminium preserving kettle and ster-
ilize all utensils. Drop the prepared
fruit into the sirup and boil gently
until tender.
Heat 1t Gradually.
Fill sterilized cans, screw covers
into place, invert cans over night,
tighten covers, and seal edges with
melted paraffn.
Fruit canned by any process is bet
ter if heated gradually to the boil
ing point.
No other canned fruit is quite so
popular as the cherry and there is
none which can be put to so many
PRACTICAL and decorative uses.
AS cherries cook quickly it is often
wise to can them by the stewing
process.
To every pound of washed and STEM
med cherries allow one-half pound of
sugar. Put the sugar into a porcelain
preserving kettle and add just enough
water to dissolve.

been captured in Soap Lake, near
Gilroy, this county, by Leland B. Hol'

aroused the thing emits sound which
is declared to be a cross between a
bark and grunt. Holloway will take
the freak to the University of Califor-
mia, where he will ask that an attempt
be made to classify it. 1t is thought
10 be hybrid originating in cross

Canning Time Is Here.
All In Sterilization

There are several good ways to can
fruit. Many freak ways are invent
ed annually.
Housekeepers who have once con-
fused novel and scientific processes
and paid the price in moldy or fer
mented fruit or bursted cans, gener-
ally stop experimenting and return
to mothers safe way on stewing the
fruit in sugar and water and sealing
it up in sterlized cans. Any good
cook can put up fruit successfully
after any method if she will study
the first principles of cannig.
The success of all canning proc
esses depends upon perfect steriliza-
ton.

REBUILDING SANDY
LAND FARMS
Soy Beans or Cowpeas Furnish Prac-
teal Foundation for Building Up
Soil in Ind, Mich. and Ohio.

Washington, D. ca definite plan
for building up the sandy-land farm
of northern Indiana, southern Michi-
gan, or northwestern Ohio is outlined
in Farmers Bulletin No. Tic just is
sued by the Department. The Depart
ment specialists have found way by
which the sandy-land farms of that
section can be built up, at the same
time returning a profit. The remedy
proposed for existing difficulties may
be summarized very breief1y:
"Grow soy beans or cowpeas-first
for seed and later to feed live stock"
The production of one or the other
of these legumes for seed is offered as
the first stage in development that
ultimately leads to profitable general
farming. The sale of seeds from one
of these crops serves to finance the
farm development while the founda-
tion of soil improvement is laid by the
legume crop itself.
"Soy beans and cowpeas," says the
bulletin "are profitable cash crops on
the poorest of these sandy lands, the
yields ranging from 5 to 20 bushels
per acre, and the present range of
prices being from $3.50 to $500 per
bushel. Aside from being a source
of immediate income, the crops furnish
the most practical foundation for
building up the SOIL"
Briefly, this is the system of farm
ing proposed:
First stage-Continuous cropping
with soy beans or cowpeas. One of
these crops is grown for seed on the
available farm area not needed for
growing necessary hay and corn. A
catch-crop of rye is used between
crops or soy beans or cOwpeas and
plowed under in the Spring before the
new crop is planted. This program
may sometimes be modified with profit
by following a two-year rotation OF
corn, soy beans or cowpeas. In this
event a catch-crop of rye and vetch is
sown in the standing corn, or rye after
the corn is cut. After year or two
as to the condition of the soil begins
to improve, ground limestone is ap.
piled to at least one of the fields in or.
der to prepare the way for clover.
Second stage.-After the first stage
has been passed and clover can bt
grown with reasonable certainty, the

system may be gradually changed to
a four-year rotation S follows:
First year. ....... ........c corn
Second year soy beans or cowpeas.
Third year. rye
Fourth year. Glover
This rotation presupposes that or 3
tons of ground limestone or mari per
acre has been applied to at least one
field of the farm, and that new field
will be thus treated each year be-
fore an attempt is made to seed it to
clover. The catch crop of rye OF rye
and vetch is sown each year in the
corn as before. This is a transition
stage in which live stock is being in
troduced as rapidly as fences can be
purchased and built, and as the farm
can be made to produce the necessary
feed and pasture.
From this point the way is open
in several directions for the free de-
velopment of general farming
through gradual shift from the cash
crop to a livestock basis, or a proper
balance of both. In some sections OF
the sandy-land cuntry the system out
lined has been found to serve as q
foundation for developing profitable
hog-raising enterprise, while in other
sections, where markets are conven,
lent, it leads more logically to the
development of dairying.
