In breach of promise case the bar
rister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be well under the observation
OF the jury. He began a most pathetic
appeal by directing their attention TO
her beauty and calling for justice upon
the head of him who could wound the
heart and betray the confidence Of one
so fair. concluding with a peroration
OF such pathos as to melt the court
to tears. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT then rose. and after paying
the lady the compliment of admitting
that ii was impossible not TO assent
to the encomums lavished upon her
face he added that nevertheless he

Selecting an Orchard Site.

Clemson College, Dec. 13.-Unless
the orchard is well located it will not
give satisfactory results. The most
important things to be considered are
soil drainage, soil fertility, and at
mospheric drainage. There is no
fruit that will grow we'll in a wet
poorly drained soil. The sub soil of
poorly drained land is wet and cold.
which does not suit the roots, SO
they feed in the surface soil where
there is warmth and air. When a
drouth occurs the surface soil dries
out, consequently causing the tree to
suffer, for during a prolonged
drouth trees depend upon their
roots in the subsoil for mois-
ture. If the drouth is of an. length
the trees die. Therefore select a we'll
drained sit for the orchard as no 9TH
er will be satisfactory.
BY atmospheric drainage is meant
tH"I VIII Si'e q ClrCuld-
ton of air through the orchard that
reduces the danger from frost. We
know that warm air rises and cold
air settles. Applying these princi-
pies to orchard work we plant our
orchard o the hill top because the
cold air settles in the valleys and
the warm air rises to the hill tops
therefore, frost forms first in the
valleys. Trees planted on the hill
tops are exposed to cold winds and
growth is held in check until later
spring when frost injury is not so
great. The opposite is true Of trees
growing in the bottoms. They are
protected from cold winds and tegin
growth early in the spring. Very
often their fruit is killed before
trees on the hill tops begin to bloom.
To obtain atmospheric drainage on
level land select a site that is en-
posed to the wind. That is plant the
orchard on open ground instead of
having 1t surrounded by trees. This
gives a circulation of air that pre-
vents the formation of frost. /.
A soil of medium fertility is best
suited to Orcharding. Trees will
not give good results on poor land.
The fertility Of the soil can be cor
rected, but a poor spill is a great
handicap. On very rich land the
trees put on too much wood growth
and not enough fruit buds. They
are also too thick for the fruit Ito
color up properly. 4

Note OF Thanks.

In the name Of the Mayesville
presbyterian congregation and other
friends of the community, Mr.. w. $.
chandler presented to us a Ford tour
ing car as a Christmas present, to-
Sether with gasoline, Il license and all
otner accessories. In fact he pre-
sented everything necessary cxcept
the Skill to run the car and the abil-
ity to express appropriately our ap-
probation.
Dear friends, we desire to thank
you for your kind remembrance at
this Christmas season.. We are sure
that nothing you could have selected
could afford us more pleasure and at
the same time be more serviceable
than this gift. 1t will we feel enlarge
our usefulness among you, and af-
ford opportunity for work beyond the
bounds of the congregation.
You have shown us many kind
resses since our coming among you.
but this last splendid gift surpasses
them all. 1t is the generous and
thoughtful spirit which prompted the
giving which we appreciate most of
all; this is invaluable, as it is a tes-
timony of your love and confidence.
We desire, therefore, to express our
heartfelt thanks to all-the Mayes-
vile Presbyterian congregation and
other friends-fOr this grand Christ
mas present.
. A Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to all. Cordially,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Grier.
