Important Ruling by Provost
Marshal.

General Crowder has issued in
structions from Washington to all
local boards to the effect that where
an individual who has been drafted
for military service has dependent
relatives and who realizes less for
his labor than the amount the gov
eminent pays it's soldiers he has no
grounds for filing an application
for a discharge. AS they are paid
not less than $4,000 per month,
with all clothing, subsistence,
medical treatment and housing
furnished soldiers are easily able to
allot $50 monthly for the support
of dependents"

"IT PROLONGS LIFE"

The following statement, coming
from a prominent city official of Salem,

from one whose position demands the
truth at all times. Read what he
says.
II have tried Acid Iron Mineral and

sores, says Mr.. F. G. Weber, Chief
of Police and Supt., Water Works,
Salem, Virginia.
Men prominent in public life do not
make a habit of praising medicines
Rather they condemn them. And in
that Acid Iron M%ineral.has proved so
efficient as to win the praise of Chief
Weber is indeed a triumph for this
wonderful preparation of natures.
Acid Iron Mineral is not a patent
medicine. The chemist has been ina

obtained from the only natural medici-

exceptional'merit. Many doctors pre-

The Colored Fair of Edgefield
and Aiken Counties.

A Colored Fair will be held at
the Belts Academy during the
month of November, 1911. We
Solicit the patronage of all the
colored people of Edgefeld and
adjoining counties, We also ex-
tend an invitation to u white
friends, as many as feel disposed to
come.
The fair of 1916 was the most
successful one in the history of the
Belts Academy Fair. Our pros
poets for a successful Fair this year
arc very bright. Some new officers
have been elected and a handsome
sum of money deposited in the bank
to the credit of the stockholders.
The Fair of 1915 IA the first fair
in which the stockholders cleared a
dividend on their investment.
We have to work to make the
next Fair surpass any previously
held at the Belts Academy.
We have a merry-go.round, owned
and operated by the stockholders,
stationed on the Fair grounds. And
the officers have taken on fresh
courage, and new life and vigor
have been injected into the entire
organization.
The date on which the Fair will
open and other information, will be
published later.

Pasture Problems.

Pastures are the best cover crops
for rolling lands. No one has fail
ed to observe the increased yields
following only one season of graz
ing. This is probably as much due
to the fact that the pasture plants
serve as a cover crop to prevent
washing and teaching as to increase
in nitrogen taken from the air by
such legumes as have grown on the
pasture. When the plants are
growing they take up the plant
foods which are becoming available
in the soil and as these pasture
plants are grazed they continue to
grow and also take up the soluble
olant foods from the droppings of
the livestock.
We of the South have not yet
appreciated the value of one or two
years pasturage in a rotation. Be
cause the best pastures come from
sod-forming crops we are likely to
conclude that temporary pastures
for one or two years in a rotation
are not profitable. If our soils were
now highly productive and there
were no further need for increased
soil fertility this might be true;
but we must reduce Jul cultivated
area to meet labor conditions and
increase the yields from the lands
cultivated.
We know of no more economical
means of increasing our soil fertlll-
ty, while obtaining something from
the soil to live on at the same time,
than through pasturing. Pasture
lands wash and leach but little and
much less than cultivated lands.
A very large part of the crop of
pasture plants grown is given back
to the land by the livestock.
In view of these facts, and our
low average yields of corr and cot
ton, we can very we'll afford to seed
some of our lands, which are not
now highly productive, to lespedeza,
white and bur clover and Craze
them for two or three years.
If this is done the rolling lands,
which are now least productive,
should and will be selected, These
lands are now producing poorly,
largely because of the washing and
teaching they have suffered for
many years. 1t is, therefore, i'm
portant that something be done to
prevent the washing of the hillsides
during the time they are In pas
ture. This can be done quickly
and cheaply by a few burrows, or
hillside bitches or terraces. 10 turn
these lands into pastures, without
making any attempt to prevent the
washing, is simply defeating the
purpose for which they are put in
pastures.
We suggest trying a few acres CT
this sort of land in rye or oats this
fall, with which is sown two to
four pounds of white clover seed
and then sowing a bushel of
lespedeza next spring. In a few
years they will produce double what
you are now getting from them

There was little disorder or infrac-
lions of peace in the big crowds of

from Ladysmith whose enthusiasm
was artificial, was warned by Officer
Culver.
Blake's jumping dogs proved an
immensely popular attraction.

pie bought grand stand tickets Thurs
day.
The public library showing in
charge Of Miss Mcmahon was an in
teresting stopping place.
Hawkins won first prize, Ladysmlth
second and Tony third for cheese.
Frank T. Stare's herd of Ayrshires
was one of the big attractions. There
was no more room in the booth for
ribbons, medals and diplomas.
In the cattle division the judges ran
out of blue ribbons before some of the
entries were reached.

attractive or a credit to the fair.
