EngIish Are Surprised.


LONDON, Aug. 16.-With
new emphasis, following the
official publication of the
peace proposals of the pope,
the British press answered no
to the proposals looking tow
ard the end of the war. The
conditions outlined by the
pope are considered indicating
a stronger German trend than
the unofficial outline.
England is frankly surpris-
ed that the pope should place
the armies of Germany on an
absolute plane with the allies
there being no censure, no
protection against Belgian hor-
rors, no mention expecting
from Germany some statement
giving the allies guarantees
that such agreements as the
pope suggests might not in the
future be declared scraps of
paper" and thrown aside.

Clemson College, s, C.-The cheap
est way to feed animals is to have
them Craze in pastures. 1t is an easy
and sure way to make money. The
profits per acre may not be large but
comparative large acreage can be
used with small amount of man la.
Dor.
As all kinds Of land may be used for
grazing there need not be any idle
land on the farm. Much land can be
used for grazing that is not suited &c
staple crops. Pastures occupy some
OF the best land in the country and
pay a profit on it.
For the cotton belt, Bermuda, Les
pedcza, White Glover, and Bur Glover
are the best plants to occupy the pas
ture area and for any given quantity
and area of land will carry the largest
number of animals. When well estab-
lished on good land this combination
of plants will carry as many as four
! grown COWS per acre. A pasture that
will carry one grown cow per acre is
good one.
r'or the rest OF tho country, ex.
tend yg as far west as Kansas and Ne
braska Kentucky and Canada Blue
Grasses and White Glover make the
best pastures and these plants are
well adapted to the section indicated.
A blue grass pasture that will carry
one grown COW to the acre is re.
garded as exceptionally good; one
that will carry n grown cow to two
acres is regarded as good.

For the country north OF the cotton
belt the blue grasses and white clover
are so aggressive that they occupy
land not otherwise used so that most
of the good blue grass pastures OF the
country are established by natural
agencies and this is a desirable and
easy way to get a good pasture Most

plants established by natural agencies

grazing, but often it results in very
indifferent grazing.

SAVE THOSE WORTH SAVING

Once upon a time in town about
he size that Chesterfield was then
thrr" lived good woman who was an
ardoat prohibitionist and there also
lived bad man who was opposed to
prohibition.
These two people belonged to op-
posing camps, as it were. Their
thoughts ran in such contrary chan
nc!s That they little imagined thai
thry were in harmony on one very
Important point untiI chance brougha
them together one day and the sub
icct of prohibition just naturally
arose.
"'Taint no use; 'taint no use. You
can't do it," said he, you can't stop
'cm from drinking. They will have
it in spite Of your prohibition"
But If we can only keep it from
he young boys" said she.
"You can do that, maybe" but
you can't keep it from them as al
ready like it,"
80, I'm so glad you thinl; we can
save the boys" said this good lady.
This seems TO US to cpitomise the
whole prohibition movement. There
is not so much concern about the CON
iirmcd booze artist, who spends so
much money and effort to paint his
nose, as there is to save the boys.
But in order to make it hard for
the boys to get the confirmed dcvotee
must also be put TO some trouble.

THESE THREE

ihEoE EtNEc
There are now three important is
sues before the people of Chester
field.
The decision in each case means a
step forward or backward; three steps
must be taken.
First, there is the town election, TO
be held on Tuesday, April 10th.
The election of town officers is the
most important annual event facing
a municipality. We believe every
true son of Chesterfield will do his
best to see that the best men possible
are elected to these Offices. Chester
field has made progress; she must
continue to progress. She must, in
a few days take another step; let it
be a step forward
Second, we are to vote on bonds
for the enlargement of the Chester
field High School on Tuesday, April
18th.
On this question there is only one
sensible view possible; only one ac-
ton is thinkabic. The school is so
crowded that it is unfair to expect
good work, or good results from the
efforts Of the efficient corps Of teach
ers. 1t has been impossible for the
pupils to make .hc NEST of their op-
porttnitics under the present condi-
tions. School regulations have bcrn
violated by this ovcrcrowding, we are
informed, and the school may be pen
allied by the State board, if this con-
dition continues.
We used to hear much about the
objectionable sin, but if we were Il
preacher we would say that we be-
licve the sin against childhood to be
the most objectionable Of all sins,
A theoretical or theological sin can
not be placed in the same class with
a sin like this. Rob n child of it's op-
portunitics and you have marred a
life and destroyed that which you
can never replace. Repentance on
your part can never atone for the
harm done the life of your or your
ncighbors child.
The voting Of bonds for the en-
IGrgcmcnt Of the school facilities will
be good step on the path of prog
rcss. TO refuse these bonds would
be a rctrograde movement of incon-
ccivablc folly.
Third: The question of watcrworks
and sewerage is still before the
people. This question cannot be
brought to an issue under the ac.
recently passed until majority Of
the frcc-holdcrs sign second pcti-
rion, now at the three banks.
1t is estimated that the watcrworhs
system will be sclf-supporting and
! viii pay the interest on the bonds
without an increase in taxes. 1t is
believed that the insurance rate, now
cNorbitant, will be materially lessen
cd. The health and comfort of the
community will be greatly benefited.
1t is said that the lesson of the re-
cent fire has been forgotten. We
! trust not.
! Should another fire start under
slightly less favorable conditions a
large portion Of Chesterfield would
20 up in smoke. In such an event
very heavy responsibility will rest
on the shoulders of those who neg
icctcd to take this step for prepared
ness.
Let it be said Of Chesterfield: There
IS Il wcl!-oficcrcd town, with ade-
GN!ntc school facilities and a OnIerp
Watcrworks ana sewerage system.

CHEAPEST WAY TO FEED FARM ANIMALS.
is TO HAVE THEM CRAZE IN PASTURES

1 labor cost is much less where more
time is used. Time is often a valua-
] BILE aid in farm operations and it u
very inexpensive. This is particular
ly true I'm establishing good pastures.
A grown cow should gain two hun,
dred and fifty pounds during the pas
ture season. With fairly good pas.
| lures and good management the gains
per acre should be worth four to FIVE
dollars and may be more. This ap-
pears small when compared to cotton
at 800 per acre and this difference
| Is Just as great as 1t seems and yet
the pasture farmer may make the
most money. Unless land is scarce
and limited 1t usually does not matter
about the acre profits. What should
be OF interest is how much does the
man make. The man labor on one
acre OF cotton may be greater than 1t
Is on one hundred acres of pasture
where beef cattle are bought in the
spring at the beginning of the season
and sold at the close Of the season In
the fall. One man may do the requir-
ed work on five thousand acres OF pas
ture. Cotton is a much more inten-
sive crop than pasture grass but ex-
| tensive crops may be just as profita.
Bile as intensive crops. 1t is really
better for one to think of, how much
money he is going to make during the
| year rather than how much crop ha
| is going to make on one acre.
Near the middle of the cotton belt
there is an area OF country that ap-
BY pasturing that land man made
eight TO ten thousand dollars a year.
There was plenty OF land, such as 1t
was. and he used it. The fact that
| hn was using large areas Of land did
not worry him.
| Pasture farming ia very sure way
to make money but you must use
comparatively large areas.
! With some pastures 1t pays to ro-
tate the animals. Let them Craze
| one area for a while then change to
a different area and In this way the
! grass in each field is given good
chance to grow while the animals are
grazing elsewhere. But this is not
the way to manage Bermuda pas
ture. Keep plenty Of animals on a
Bermuda sod to keep It grazed close
to the ground.
BY eating the best grasses animals
encourage worthless weeds to grow In
pastures and for this reason 1t is often
advisable to run a moving machine
over them once or twice a year. Pas
lures need some shade but 1t takes
i open land to grow good grass. The
cattle Craze on the open areas
The cotton farmer may have some
excellent temporary pastures. A corn
field where good crop of peas or vel
vet beans have been grown as com.
panion crops makes a valuable pas
ture for the fall season. The gains
made in such pasture may be worth
as much as ten dollars an acre.
Other temporary pastures may be
had with peanuts and soy beans and
still others with rape and sorghum.
Temporary pasture In the cotton belt
may be made to supplement the per-
manent grazing areas to very great
advantage.
Nitrate Of soda. as a top dressing on
Bermuda sod, can be made to pay good
profits. Il should be applied the first
Of May.
Cotton is a very reliable crop but
even cotton is not as sure as pastures.

necessarily have to provide this bank
withSa title to his property. 1t Will
be to the advantage of farm loan as

office does not propose to say to the

if in its judgment and ours the trans
actions of the farm loan association
are sufficiently conservative and are
legitimate. At the present time the

not appointed any particular apprais-
crs, and once these appraisers are ap-
pointed, in the very nature Of things
they must reach some associations be.

serve all at the same time, neither
can all associations be the first on

no unnecessary delay will be allowed
by this office and that all will be
