FOR MORE AND
BETTER LIVESTOCK

Clemson College, Sept. 20.-As an
opening gun in campaign for more
and better livestock in South Caro-
lima, the Extension Service is hold
ing at Fairfax on Friday, September
IL, meeting Of specialists, district
agents. and county agents of The
lower part Of the state. This meeting
was suggested as result of three
day campaign in Barnwell County in
which the need for fences was en-
phasized. In that campaign .meetinsa
at Blackvil1e, BarnWell, Williston,
Dunbarton, Hilda, and Hercules were
well attended by leading farmers who
showed so much interest that the
county agent feels that or 10 cars
of wire would be needed to supply
the immediate demand.
At the Fairfax meeting plans will
be made for a drive for more fences
as first step in, the movement, for
it is realized that without ample
fencing no real progress an be made
in our livestock development.
As part Of the campaign a bull
letin on cresoting fence posts, and a
circular on the best types of fencing,
the Importance of forage crops, etc.,
will be issued as soon as possible.
These publications will furnish the
general information needed, and the
county agents will help in a distri-
button of this to best advantage and
in supplying other information and
help locally.
Arrangements are being made also
for the purchase of wire fencing at
lowest possible rates. Institutions
concerning special prices will be
given through county agents when
the arrangements have been COM
pleted with manufacturers and deal
ers.
The campaign will be pushed in
the lower part of the state first in
order to help the farmers Of the boil
weevil territory declare their indie
pendence of the weevil, but the work
will laso be carried into every part
of the state.

MAKING PLANS FOR
~ THE 1920 CENSUS

Extensive plans are being made
throughout the country now for tax
iin1gg ing the United States census next
year, supervisors being named and
corps of enumerators will be want
ing to know all there is to know.
Scope of Census.
The scope Of this census includes
population, agriculture, manufac-
ture, forestry and forestry products
and mines and quarries. The sched-
ules relative to population include
for each inhabitnat the name, con-
dition, place Of abode, relationship
to. head Of family, color, sex, age,

VETCH AS A WINTER

COVER CROP
Clemson College, Sept. 20.-Vetch
is one of the best. if not the best,
winter legumes for South Carolina
conditions. 1t can be grown on any
well drained land in the State, al
though it does best when planted on
the clay types of soils.
Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) has
been found to give the best results
in this state, although there are scv-
eral other good varieties commonly
grown. Because Of the recument
growth of vetch, the best results can
be secured only when it is planted
with some small grain. Appler or
Fulghum oats, Red May or Boggs
wheat, Abruzzi or Florida rye, and
Beardless barley are recommended
for this purpose.
The seed bed must be thoroughly
prepared before planting. The land
can be prepared with either disk
harraw or turn plow and after
wards thoroughly narrowed with a
smoothing harrow. When vetch is
to be planted in cotton, all the prep
aration that is necessary before
planting, if the cotton has been we'll
cultivated, is to run a 15-tooth cul-
tivator over the land. If vetch has
never been grown on the land be-
fore, the seed will have to be inocu-
lated. Failure to do this Win -
suit in a failure to grow the crou.
Two hundred to four hundred
pounds of acid phospate and oo
pounds of muriate are advised. Is
to so pounds of sodium nitrate ap-
piled early in the fall will give the
plants good start and result in a
higher yield.

eleventh month, which gets its name
from Novem, nine, and was, before
the change of the Roman calendar,

dian Summer" when delightful
weather prevails throughout the
United States, when for days, and
sometimes weeks the sun pours its
genial rays through haze. and the
.balmy air invites people out of doors,
during this second edition of summer,
before real winter closes in.
November brings Thanksgiving, the
time of family reunions and the Civ
ing of thanks to God for all the bless
ings and mercies of. the year This
year Thanksgiving will have double
significance, since it has brought a
years peace 1t falls on the last
Thursday in November. and is pro-
claimed by the President, and in turn
by the Governor of the state as day
set apart for giving thanks.
In Annapolis November always is
of more than usual interest as ii
brings the Army-Navy football game.
