Dor conditions make the task Of keep

cotton will take their turn in every
well planned farm.
The scant oat crop should be hug
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especially
II they are grown in the region where
they are to be planted. The same is
true Of wheat unless in given sec
tion the best variety for that section
has not yet been used.
Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only In full
carload lots 1t is quite probable that
farmers will be disappointed when
seeding time comes. The railroads
will probably have more than they can
do even with full carload shipments
1t is national necessity to see that
no freight car space Is wasted.

Farmers Part to Create.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson. J

(hdlpn WalQO uGmerSOn.)
The glory of the farmer Is that in
the division of labors it is his part to
create. All trade rests at last upon
this primitive activity. He stands
close to nature; he obtains from the
earth the bread and the meat The
food which was not he causes to be.
The first farmer was the first man,
and all historic nobility rests on DOS
session and use Of land. Men do not
like hard work, but every man has
an exceptional respect for tillage and
a feeling that this is the original call
ing Of his race; that he himself is
only excused from it by some circum-
stance which has made him delegate
1t for time to other hands. If he
nave not some skill which recon-
mends him to the farmer, some pro-
duet for which the farmer will give
him corn, he must himself return
unto his due place among the plant
ers. And the profession has in all
eyes it's ancient charm, as standing
nearest to Cod. the first cause.

Government Authorities Backing It
The National Council of Defense has

urging farmers to order their fall fer.
tilizers early SO full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
Of human food produced.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture through the States Re
lations Service and Bureau Of Soils;
and agricultural colleges and coun-
ty agents, are advising the same.
The railroads are very urgent about
the matter. The fertilizer manufac-
turers are Offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible to
overcome the transportation difficult
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half of the cars ordinari-
ly used for hauling fertilizers could
do the business, II only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.
Where full car load can not be
made up for one destination, then it
is to be filed with orders for neigh
boring stations along o railroad.

How can the farms produce more

How can more acres be planted to

past and that is Fertilizer. But this

Fertilizer can increase production

WITH "OUR BOYS" IN FRANCE.
Many Changes Will 10 Necessary
An Immense Undertaking.

Paris, July 12.-Major Gen. VIM.
S. Sibert, who will command the.
American training camp behind the
French front, arrived here to-day.
Major Gen. J. J. Pershing, COM
mander Of the American forces, .vis-
tied the largest ammunition plant In
the Paris district to-day He was
shown about by Albert Thomas, min
lister of war.
1T is announced the American Red
Cross will take over all French in
hrmaries-reliei stations-between
It's base and the portion of the front
where the American troops will be
placed, supplanting the French, who
Will take up other duties elsewhere.
The American troops in France, it
Is made known is a partial report of
investigation by American officers,
Will discard the we'll known poncho
while in service in France and will
adopt the French cavalry slicker in
modified form as best adapted to
trench fighting.
The troops also will be equipped
with sleeveless canvas jenkins lined
with wool as sleeping bags and with
numerous other devices that have
proved elficacious against the intense
cold of the winter.
The familiar puttee will depart in
favor of cloth leggins such as were
used by the expeditionary force in
Mexico. Each soldier will have
folding cloth fatigue cap to wear un-
der the irksome steel helmet.
Some idea may be gained OF the
immensely Of the task Of supplying
the American armies when they
reach full strength by the fact that
each million men must have q 1000
ton refrigeration plant, the steel and
iron for which must be brought from
America. The refrigerators must be
located not only at the base, but
close behind the fighting line. Stor-
age tanks with capacity Of a million
gallons will be needed at the bases
with depots for transferring gasoline
to obviate the necessity of using
trains.
Plans already far advanced include
the construction Of so-called salvage
depots for the repair Of worn-out
clothing and shoes. A pair Of shoes
lasts soldier in the trenches only
three weeks on the average. Each
million men probably will consume
100000 pounds of meat daily.

Ruling by Federal Farm Loan Board.

A ruling by the Federal Farm Loan
Board in regard to when a man may
be considered as personally cultiyat-
ing or operating his farm will be of
particular interest to our readers.
The law provides that mo loan shall
be male to any person who Is not at
the time. Or shortly to become, en-
gagged IN the cultivation Of the farm
mortgaged. In order to Cultivate"
farm, the board has ruled that It
shall be worked (a) by the owner
personally; (b) by hired manager
or by wage hands; or (c) by share
tenants or croppers. In the latter
case the board requires that the con-
tract specify that the landowner Is
to pay the cropper certain part Of
the crop for the work done, rather
than the croper paying the owner a
Iart Of the crop for the use Of the
land. This ruling settles a rather
perpleXing question, and makes it
possible, by working the farm in one
Of the three aforementioned ways,

person in the United States is asked

SENECA NEWS CLIPPED.
one Colored Man Retlrns-Figuring
Oh Embalners' Unit,
(Farm and Factory, 12th.)

tfarm and Factory, 12th.)
Jay NJ. Abbott, of Columbia, for
merly resident of this county, plans
to. organize an embalmers unit for
service abroad. He Is a brother OF
Roy NJ. and S. p. Abbott, Of Seneca,
and his friends here will read with
interest the following article from
the Columbia Record regarding his
plans:
Jay NJ. Abbott, manager of the en-
Daliuing department of the Van Me-
ter establishment, is interesting him
self in the formation of an embalm-
ers' unit to go to France and care for
the bodies of the Americans who are
sl&in In battle. The idea Is to form
unit from the United States at
large in which several South Caro-
tniStns would possibly be included.
The unit would embalm the bodies
of he American soldiers and the
bodies would be shipped to America
for burial.
MIR. Abbott has written to leading
men of the profession in the United
States and there seems to be some
interest created in the idea. D. T.
Wilton, of Brooklyn, Mass, who is
connected with the firm Of J. S. Wa
terman & Co., of Boston, Mass, has
promised to give his assistance to
the formation OF the unit.
Moore Stole Cow.
Ernest Moore, colored, sold a COW
III Seneca Saturday afternoon for
$l5. The gentleman who bought
the COW gave check in payment and
later instructed his bank to refuse
payment, as he believed the negro
had stole the COW. Late in the after
noon Policeman Dalton learned that
Jap Rhodes COW was missing and it
required but short time to identify
the COW sold by the negro as belong
ing to Rhodes. Moore lives near the
rhodes home, and hoping to raise
SIS without honest work, he stole
the COW and brought her to town.
Moore, 1t seems, suspected that he
was being watched and evidently de-
cided to leave the county without
having the check cashed. The COW
has been returned to the owner and
warrant for Moore's arrest is in the
hands Of the officers.
Back in Seneca.
One OF the negroes who left Sen
eca few months ago for Ohio has

back in the South. The north might

race, he says, but he prefers to spend
