A gentleman told The Adverti-

that Hon. Calbraith Butler has the
finest crop between Edgefeld and
Augusta. He has sixty acres in
corn which will probably average
so bushels to the acre. Mr.. Butler
properly belongs in Edgefeld county
instead o. Aiken and we are hopes
full that the resurvey of the county

PENNSYLVANIA CUTS

Clears Line for Movement Of
Southern Vegetable Crops.

In order to better meet new traffic
conditions resulting from the en-
trance OF the United States into tho
war, the Pennsylvania railroad an
nounces that 1t will discontinue until
further notice the running of special
excursions to. from, and through
Washington.
Three reasons are given for the &C.
ton. First OF these is to "avoid in.
reference OF the unprecedented move
ment of passenger travel on regular
trains that is now being carried TO
and from Washington in connection
with the important public business
being transacted here"
The second is ito clear the way as
far as possible for the movement of
the great vegetable crops OF the
Southern States. a very large portion
of which must come north over this
railroads line between Washington,
Philadelphia, and New York"
Third, ito anticipate and prepare
for heavy movement OF troops and
Government supplies"

To assist bakers to devise more eco
nomicaI methods Of making bread. a
study Of making and marketing bread
has been started by the commercial
economy board Of the National Defense
Council.
Agents Of the board have found bread

ton may be eliminated to the adantage
of all concerned.
Among other things the baker Is asked
concerning returns of unsold bread, the
average number of scent, 10-cent, and
other loaves be delivers daily. and the

If your strawberries rot, blame 1t
ca the Rhizopus fungus.
You may not know what it is, but
in this respect you will find few OF
your neighbors who have anything on
you.
Rhizopus is the black plague OF
strawberry life. 1t attacks the berries
that are bruised or wounded in the
ffeld, or in packing and runs through
a crate or a box like FIRE through
prairie grass.
The disease rarely attacks uninjur-
ed berries. and for this reason, eX-
perts OF the Department Of Agricul-
ture, who discovered IL, are advising
berry men to be careful in handling
and treatment of their product on
the way to market.
