them in a good growing condition and
not allow them to suffer.
cota Frame.-The cold frame
sbould always accompany the hotbed,
tbe plants first being started in the
hotbed and then transplanted to the
cold frame, and from there to the open
ground whenever the weather condi-
tions will permit. The cold frame
differs from the hotbed in only one re-
spect, it does not have the manure al
the bottom of the bed to produce heat,
otherwise the frame is constructed in
exactly the same way as the hotbed.
Cold frames are sometimes covered
with heavy canvas instead OF glass.
This is much cheaper than the glass
and the frames are more easily hary
died when covered by canvas than
when covered with glass. The plants.
however, will not grow of as rapidly
but this, as a rule Is an advantage
in fsver OF the canvas-covered frames.
The chief trouble with the amateur
gardener is that he forces his plants
too rapidly.

SHOULD TREAT SWEET POTATO
HsIRfeet BY Immersins tR a Seiu'
tien Of Corrosive
Subl!mate.

Some Of the most destructive potato
diseases are carried from the field
into storage in the fall, where these
diseases not only live but thrive dur
ing the winter, producing serious
losses. II seed potatoes for bedding
are not carefully selected and bedded
in disease free soil these diseases are
carried bac,:: the field on the roots
of the slips or sprouts.
In the spring carefully select me-
dunn size potatoes, that show no signs
Of rots, and disinfect by immersing
from five to ten minutes in solution
of corrosive sublimate prepared by
dissolving one ounce Of the crystals
In eight gallons of water. The above
solution should be prepared only In
wooden container which should be
thoroughly cleaned after being used,
as corrosive sublimate is deadly
poison, and should be used only with
the greatest care. Seed, after being
disinfected, should be rinsed in pure
water and dried or bedded at once.
Probably the best container for the
above solution is barrel, and enough
of the solution should be put in it to
cover the quantity of potatoes to be
treated each time One solution
should not be used more than three or
four times as It loses its strength and
effectiveness upon repeated use.
AS potato diseases often live ove-
winter in the soil, it Is essential thai
only fresh soil should be used in pre-
pairing the beds. Woods earth, free
from undecayed leaves and twigs,
makes an exceptionally good bedding
soil. Sand is often used and is just
as good provided it is clean and free
from the potato disease organisms.
In case you have a permanent bed
never bed your potatoes in the old
soil. Disinfect the framework by
spraying with solution prepared by
adding one pint of formaltn to thirty
gallons of water. In case you have on
hand some winter strength lime-sul
phur solution it can be used, with
even better results; and some use q
white-wash to good advantage.
Select for your potato patch a field
that has not had potatoes on it, for al
least three years, and you may expect
to harvest crop free from disease.

COTTON SEED FOR PLANTING
There Are Several Varieties FOR
infected Lands But Best
Is the Dixie.

Our cotton crop can be materially
increased during the present emer-
gency by preventing the enormous
losses caused each year by diseases.
Our two most common cotton diseases
are witt and anthracnose; these two
diseases cause a loss Of from $2,OGo,'
900 to 5 100000 year in South Caro-
lima. This loss can be in a largo
measure prevented by the use OF the
right kind Of seed.
There are several varieties OF cot
ton that are resistant to cotton Wilt
and will produce excellent yields when
planted on land infected with this dis
ease The best OF these is the Dixie,
which has been grown and bred for
number Of years in cooperation with
Clemson College and the United States
Department OF Agriculture. This seed
can be had from the breeders and
growers in the counties whore wilt is
causing serious loss. The Botany d.
vision Of Clemson College will be glad
to put any one who needs seed In
touch with these growers.
Cotton anthracnose-(bou rot)-
causes probably a greater loss IN
South Carolina every year than cotton
wilt does. Anthracnose can be con-
trolled by securing seed which are
free from disease and planting these
on land that has not been In cotton
for one year. The best way to secure
seed free from disease Is to get them
from fields where there was no an
thracnose. We have found that the
fungus which causes this disease Will
not remain alive in the seed fer more
than two or three years, 80 that old
seed are much better for planting pur'
poses than seed of previous season.
In order to help in reducing the loss
rom cotton anthracnose, the Botany
Division of the South Carolina Expert
ment Station is making preparation to
test any seed that the farmers OF the
state will send in, in order to dedter'
mine whether or not the seed Is In
fected with this disease. We desire
especially to test seed that are two
and three years old. Any one, who
has old seed, or any one who is buy
ing seed that he is not sure Is free
from disease, can send samples OF
these seed to the Experiment Station
at Clemson College and have them
tested. It will take from two to three
weeks to make a complete test. A
pint Of seed is neeess ~ Tor these
tests.

while he was at home and was taken
to the Baptist Hospital in Columbia
came back to the Comapny last week
and now he is quarantined for
mumps. We have one hundred and
ten men quarantined and in Hos
pital and the Company is torn all to
pieces. We haven't but one hund-
red and seventeen men in company
Street.
We have the best non-Commis-
stoned officers in the thirteenth Di-
vision they are all the time jolly and
love the privates. We have three
men in the Jug (that is the guard
house, for going home without leave.
Up until Christmas we didn't have a
man on the list marked A. W. o. L..
(that means absent without leave).
We are drilling eight hours day
getting ready to go to France and
you all can see and know how
tired I am every evening but am up
again every morning on the Drill
field. l tell you if I ever do get
back home and hear bugle blow |
am going to beat the fellow or get
beat, I don't like to hear but three
calls, that is mess, recall and pay
day. Pay day is the best one of
them all I think we will have pay
day about Saturday. Nearly all the
boys from Lexington county are in
the Hospital. One Of them went to
France in February. I suppose that
he is now in France. He was me.
chanic and that is what they want.
The General said the other day
that we would leave here inside of
sixty days. When we leave here
don't know where they will take US:
but hope that it will be to guard
some sea port or on the border. They
have been talking of sending us to
the border, to guard it. Hope they
will take US down there.
They sent about four thousand
men away from here Wednesday.
They were the 102nd Engineers and
some avaitors. 1t is one hundred
and twenty pullman cars over at
Paris now that isn't Paris in France
it is little town up here by that
name
Say Editor what do you think the
girls will do down there in Lexington
if they take all the boys to the camps
it will be more old maids than you
ever saw if they take all the boys
away, but I hope that it will be one
for me when I get back, for I am
sure coming back. I don't believe that
there is any German ever born that
can kill me and if I do have to 60 to
France I am going like man and
with the intention Of coming back.
I think that this big Spring drive
will bring this awful struggle to a
close for Germany is getting tired of
this war. She now sees where she is
wrong and has her hands full, and
when these millions Of "Sammies'
get over there and start on them we
will go on to Berlin and plant the
Stars and Stripes there. We will show
the old Kaiser Bill that we are in this
war to win and will fight until we DO
win this war.
Well I will close for this time give
all the Lexington people my best re-

Says Sale Is Treason to God.
Mrs. Cora Megrail, who addressed
about 100 people Sunday afternoon at
the Trinity Methodist church, at
joint meeting Of the Asbury Metho-
dist and First Presbyterian congrega-
tions. said:
The sale and manufacture Of liquor
is no more than treason to God The
men who make 1t and the men who
sell IL are traitors to the kingdom Of
Heaven. Desolate homes, naked chill
dren and prematurely old wives bear
mute testimony to the treason
There is no excuse under the shin
ing canopy Of heaven for the traffic
in the stuff Not one of the thread
bare reasons given by the liquor peo-
pie for the existence of their filthy
business is tenable. The claim that
alcoholic beverages contain nourish-
ment is sufficiently contradicted by
skilled scientific testimony. In a test
conducted in the east recently, an IN
biased tribunal OF chemists declared
that seven gallons of beer contained
as much nourishment as the flour that
could be contained on the end of
knife.
Alcohol Useless in Medicine.
That alcohol is useful as medicine
is equally absurd. Highest medical
testimony says that alcohol has no
use in medicine which cannot be
supplanted by other agencies, with
less harm, and fewer deleterious ef-
fects. This view is endorsed by the
National Medical association.
'On the contrary II is known that
there are % diseases caused either
directly or indirectly by alcohol used
as a beverage This Is sufticient
reason to demand the abolition OF the
traffic IN IT. A second reason may
be found in the court records. and
