PROPER SOIL FOR CURRANTS
Fruit Needs Rich Land and One That
Is Good Retainer OF Moisture
Keep Well Cultivated.

Currants require rich soil and one
that is a good retainer OF moisture.
The plants should be set three to four
feet apart in the row and rows from
five to six feet.
The patch should be we'll cultivated
and hoed, all weeds being kept down,
as they are very injurious to currants.
Keep we'll trimmed after they have
come into full bearing. as too much OF
the young and old wood will hinder
the growth.
It Is not well to allow any Of the
wood to get very old. as the finest
fruit is usually grown on the two and
three year old growths.

Although Figure Not Given Out Under

For High Class Breeder.

Recognition of the splendid type of
Duroc Jersey hogs that are bred by
j. B. Farmer of the Wilkes Place
Farm at Culleoka comes from a high
source. Mr.. Farmer is just in receipt
of an order from ]. o. Williams, agent
in animal husbandry of the United
States Department of Agriculture of
Clemson College, s. c., ordering four
of the famous bred gifts shipped to A.
H. Chapman, demonstration agent for
Greenville county
These gifts are to be used with the
pig club boys who are demonstrating
the value of the pork raising industry
in that section of the state. The agent
selected the gifts from Mr. Farmers
farm, after having considered those
from a number of other high class
breeding establishments of the coun-
try. In his letter he says that he is
after choice gifts, because it is impor-
tant in the work for which they are to
be used that no mistake be made in
the selection of the original stock.
Mr. Farmer shipped the four gifts
Tuesday and they were pronounced by
all who saw them to be four of as
select Durocs as ever left this section
Of the state, all of them fit for the
show ring. While the price received
for these gifts was not given out, 1t is
understood that it was quite a proflta-
BILE one.

few eighths have been negotiated in

They are swinging into fast gaits and
are taking to the track like a duck

than it has been in years. The turns
are thrown in just the right manner
and it will no doubt be several sec

Pensacola Displays a
Charitable Spirit.

The gathering at the city hall last
might was but another evidence of
the charitableness of the residents of
Pensacola. A few days ago a,call was
issued for a mass meeting and the
announced purpose was to aid over
nine million Jews who are starving in
Russia.
The result was most satisfactory.
The council chamber of the city hall
was packed, over $500 was given in
cash and contributions totalling twice
this amount pledged. It is possible
that $1,000 will be sent these sufferers

under a government of the stars
which presages sensational events
For those who are in supreme au-
thority perplexities, enmities and mis-
judgment are prognosticated. Again
changes in the executive organization
are indicated.
Women have rather a good leading
today, and they should be successful
in shopping, household duties, enter
tanning and charitable work.
Both men and women should guard
against nervous disorders and mental
depressions. The seers declare that
the year will be exceedingly wearing
and exhausting to people of the
United States, who will be disturbed
by the unseen forces that cause war
and bloodshed.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have many ups and downs in the com
ing year. They should avoid business
changes. The young have the augury
Of romance and marriage.
Children born on this day probably
will be high-strung and restless.
These subjects of Aquarius are usual
ly industrious and preserving, but too
impatient to make the most of their
opportunities.

Astrologers read this as unfavor-
able to most pursuits in business. The
Sun, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn are
all adverse, while Venus alone is in
benefc aspect.
It is not lucky time for soliciting
cooperation or aid from any person
or organization welding power. For
politicians the rule is particularly
threatening.
Actors and musicians should be
careful not to seek engagements or
recognition while the stars are as in
imical as they are today. Even though
Venus, their guiding planet, is
friendly, there is such strong opposi-
ton that disappointment is probable.
The planetary direction is unfortu-
nate for commerce and the loss of a
vessel at sea will be exceedingly Sc
rious in it's consequences to Ameri-
cans.
Congress and all other legislative
bodies are subject to influences coun-
ter to sound reasoning and good
judgment. Discussions and party diff
ferences of far-reaching significance
are foreshadowed.
