Liquor Came High.

Easley, Nov. 30.---PrObably the
largest yield off of any one gallon Of
whiskey ever recorded in a city trea-
sury was made here yesterday when
the sum Of $130 was collected from
four negroes, all being partners in
tho liquor business.
Two policemen Of the city peeped
through. the window Of a cabin and
saw q negro woman measuring out a
pint Of whiskey for another negro.
Upon being arrested she told that she
was selling the whiskey for two ne
groes who had ordered 1t together,
but had ordered it in another per-
sons name. The two owners Of the
liquor were each fined $25, the wo-
man salesman $50, and the negro boy
who allowed 1t to be ordered in his
name and took it to tho house and
left It, was fined $50.

A TREE OF DOUBLE Value
South Carolina Farmers Uraed to

I have before me pecan nuts of the
1916 crop that were grown In the

some others that were produced in
the extreme northwestern corner Of
the state at an elevation Of 900 feet.
These nuts, representing one OF our
best varieties, the Stuart, are suffi-

and Of no economic value. We pay

more, there are large possibilities in

pound. yet there is a profit in growing
pecans at 10 cents pound. A pecan

farm or suburban home permanent

The most important point in the

good varieties. Variet 80 recommend.
ed for South Carolina are Stuart,
Schley, Success, Van Deman, Frot-

the trees carefully In large deep holes
about 60 feet apart each way. Give
them as much care and attention as is
given your most profitable farm crop
and you will not be disappointed in
the results. A neglected pecan tree
will yield no more profitable returns
than will any other neglected crop or
fruit tree.
1t is we'll to plant the orchards to
garden or field crops, driving stakes
beside the trees to prevent them from
being bruised in cultivating. Intensive
cultivation and fertilizing OF the crops
between the rows OF trees will usually
be sufficient to keep the pecans grow.

A few nuts may be expected from

South Carolina farmers, and espe+
cially those in the hilly Piedmont sec.
ton, need to terrace their lands to
keep the soil from being washed away
by erosion, which is a wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The ero.
sion caused by rain water washes
thousands Of tons Of soil annually
from the lands Of this state, with a
consequent loss OF fertility. Natures
method of preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
leaves, and grass. Mans method is
to terrace and grow winter cover
crops.
A terrace is q ridge Of soil thrown
up In such a manner as to prevent
water from flowing rapidly down a
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing.
Use a leveling instrument In run.
ming lines for terraces. One can be
had for from $12 to $25 and can be
used for many other kinds Of work on
the farp'. 1t is necessary also to have
a "hillsid," plow, 80 that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line Of tho
terrace, by the use Of the leveling In
strument, begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
It, using hillside plow. throw the
next furrow down hill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until tho
proper distance has been covered to
got an elevation Of about three feet.
This system. having the terraces about
three feet high and vertical, will give
what is known as the level bench
terrace, the land between any two
terraces becoming a level bench with
no fall in any direction after few
years cultivation. The level bench
terrace Is best suited to most Of the
farms in Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as rule. near the
uprer edge Of the hillside field, be-
cause II the top terrace breaks 1t Is
we'll nigh impossible to prevent the
terraces below from being swept
| away.
Run terrace or ditch at the upper
edge Of the field to care for the sur
plus water which may come from an
adjoining field. pasture or woodland.
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system Of terraces to
| control.
Crossing terraces with teams, plows
or wagons will form depressions that
| will allow water to break over and
start gullies, which weaken and de-
stroy terrace. Avoid this by leav.
ing at the end Of the field sodded
slope to be used as road to get from
one terrace bench to another.
