Hail Damages Crops.

Gaffney, May 31.--On Sunday af-
ternoon a destructive hail storm Wis
tied the Wood section Of Cherokee
county, doing much damage to grow
ing crops as well as to dwellings in
the neighborhood. The stricken
area is about two miles wide and
extends from Cowpens to the bravo
dam, a distance Of about 12 miles.
The crops in the path Of the storm
were damaged by the heavy hail,
and many Of the farmers have plant
ed and others are planting over their
entire cotton crop. Many buildings
were damaged by the window glasses
being shattered and the roofs batter
ed up. This Is the second storm
which has visited this section this
season.

Fall Tomatoes from Cuttings.

tomatoes grow readily from cut
tings, and an early fall crop may
be had by making cuttings from the
spring crop. Seedlings are hard to
raise during summer unless they are
given special care. But plants from
cuttings are comparatively easy to
obtain. Then when roots have
formed the plants are two or three
weeks ahead of plants from seed
bed made at the same time.
Probably the easiest way to OBJ
tain plants, according to G. X. Nc
Quarrie. State agent for the Univer-
sitys OF Florida Extension Division, is
ITO BEND the old vine over and cover
portion of 1t with earth so that the
top protrudes. In few days roots
will have formed and teh top may
be cut Off, with the roots, and set. A
more diftcult way is to make cut
tings several inches long and to set
them in sand until they are rooted.
They should be watered frequently
and protected from the hot sun.
Where the old plants are not dis
eased they may be pruned back to
eight or ten inches and allowed to
form new tops. This will perhaps
give the earliest tomatoes. In the
home garden this pruning may be
extended over several weeks so that
succession Of tomatoes may be had.
The cuttings may be made with the
same view.

man.
Already there has boon q wide re-.
sponse from many directions. Thou
sands Of people have made applica-
tton through state and national banks
for bonds In denominations ranging
from $50 to $1,000. But since the al.
lotmont for South Carolina IL $780,

bs disposed OF before the state will
have done It's duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale OF the bonds have been appoint.
cd In each county Of the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward helping the govern
ment float this loan; knowing we'll
that the fate Of the country, and per.
haps OF the war. is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also put
their shoulders to the wheel. Practi-
cally every bank Is In o position to
accept applications for bonds. and
every man who wishes 70 subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
is making to the farmers. merchants
and business mon is not only patri-
otto; though tho committee feels that
every man should want to support his
government to the extent Of buying q
bond. It Is also a business proposi-
ton: and Liberty bond is right now
ono Of tho best and surest investments
that man can mako.
The government has got to buy corn
and cotton in quantities never before
hoard Of. These supplies have got to
South Carolina along with the rest of
the country. Therefore, the money
that farmer puts In the loan, comes
back to him as actual cash in immense Q
purchases Of the things which he
raises. In this way he not only gets
Ia per cent return on his bonds,
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products Of his farm.

And 0conee Some Great Farmers and
Delightful Rural Homes.
Editor Keowee Courier: attended
the singing convention at Return last
Sunday. There was a large gather
ing. suppose not less than 1900
people We're there, and the decorum
was good, the singing was inspiring.
| hardly think I ever heard better
singing. You can look at mans soul
through the eye, and you can hear his
soul by means OF the voice. The soul
of music Is the music Of the soul; it
is the sound Of victory. Instrumental
music is fine at all times, but the
human voice Is supreme when prop
erly trained. The human voice Is the
real echo of heavenly notes: it is
medicine for a sin-sick soul and "a
balm for wounded spirits; it is
the baby's cradle, the old mans in
spiration. In the bright morning of
creation the angels sang a sweet
psalm Of praise to the great Creator;
Miriam and Moses chanted a song of
victory; at the incarnation the an
gelic host came singing to the earth
with good will to men, The sweet
voices Of home talent still linger with
MS all. Vocal music Is the rose-lipped
shell that murmurs on the sea of
eternity; bird singing the sweet
songs of another shore; and there is
no music like the music of the soul.
congratulate Oconee county on
having so many 'well-trained voices
and so many fine leaders. AS have
stated, there Is no music like the hu-
man voice. Paul's theology was nut
sic, and David's music was theology.

Scarcity of Farm Hands.

War brings to this country SOM
grave problems demanding immediate
solution. OF all of them none is more
perplexing than that which confront:
the farmer. Where is he to obtair
the help necessary for the operation
O.. his farm. A call to arms summons
lalf a million men to the colors. In
d. stries throughout the country will
a. feel the effects of taking these
y en- from the factories and shops. But
tie blow will fall the hardest on the
f; rmer
Il am a farmers wife," writes a
woman to the New York World, and
should like to have my say about the
high cost of living. Last year work
men were so scarce that ten farmers
oct here lin New Jersey) gave u2
farming altogether; the rest of US
only planted half of our farms. This
year will be worse than ever"
This is, perhaps, an aggravated case
but it sets forth in vivid manner
the problem which confronts the farm
els of Imperial county and the rest
of the West to a more or less extent
and in common with the agricultur-
lists throughout the United States. But
this correspondent, in looking no fur
ther ahead than the current year, did
rot take into consideration, what eff
feet the calling out of volunteers or
the draft law would have in the mat
ter of farm labor. She had in mind
only the scarcity of help brought about
by the unusual industrial demand in
the country's great manufacturing
centers.
The farmer must feed not only the
United States, but to great extent
tnc Entente Allies as well. 1t has
even been suggested by the British
ministry that farmers from this coun-
by be sent to England to show the
English farmer how to render his
labor more effective through the use
Of modern American farm machinery.
That, of course, is chimerical. We can
rot spare our farmers. No can we
spare our farm laborers.
There is every reason to believe
tnat war between this country and
Germany will stimulate rather than
diminish the demand for factory en-
alcyes. Labor available for the farms.
therefore, even without considering
the effect that the raising of an army
will have on the labor market, will be
scarcer than ever. Yet we shall need
larger crops than ever. Already th2
csll for farm labor has gone forth ana
the response is far from ready one.
