CRIMSON AND RED CLOVER
AS WINTER COVER CROPS

Clemson College, Sejtember 90
Crimson clover stands at the head
of all the clovers as winter cover
crop for most states south of the
Mason and Dixon line, according to
G. II. Ceilings, Assistant Professor
Of Agronomy. However, in the ex-
treme northern part of the South
and also in the mountainous regions
the stand may be greatly injured
some years by cold weather.
Crimson clover prefers the sandy
soils Of cur Coastal Plain, but does
we'll also on our clays. The crop is
not expensive to seed and it has the
advantage over most clovers in that
it makes good start before cold
weather sets in. Early planting is
preferable to late planting. The
young plants should bet at least 10
weeks of growth before the first
frost. From IL to 20 pounds of
seed should be planted per acre.
incubation snecessary as is the
case with all the clovers with the
exception of bur clover.
AS green manuring and hay crops
crimson clover is of first Importance.
Because of it's early growth it may
be turned under early in the spring.
A yield of from 1 to 1-2 tons per
acre Of hay may be expected from
the average South Carolina soils.
Red clover makes the best cover
crop when it is planted early and on
good fertile land. Although growth
is made throut the winter, it's rate
of growth increases as spring comes
on. For this reason, if maximum
results are to be secured from red
clover, the planting Of the following
crop must be delayed.
The rate of seeding should be
about the same as that for crimson
clover. Red clover may be used for
the same purpose as crimson clover.
When it is to be useG as green
manuring crop, it may be plowed
under either when the plants are
from 3 to inches in height or after
the blooming period. If the crop
is to be cut for hay, the cutting
must not be delayed longer than the
period of full bloom, for when cut
ting is delayed longer than this, the
plant has a tendency to become
woody and unpalatable.

BIGGEST HOG SHIP
MENT MARK ETED

The largest individual hog ship
ment ever received at the Kansas
City market, consisting Of 949 hogs
which averaged 280 pounds apiece, a
total of 265,720 pounds of pork on the
hoof, recently was received from a
Livingston County, Missouri, farmer.
These porkers had rail service de luzc.
as the l6 cars they occupied were
handled as special livestock train.
The extra attention accorded this
shipment was worth the trouble, as
only three hogs, or about thrce-tentbs
OF l per cent were lost.

AMERICAN CANNING SPREADS

Not only will the French people
profit by the lessons in home canning
and drying which have been given
their agricultural leaders this sum-
mer by canning experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
but Syrians, Egyptians, Armenians,
and 'Algerians, as we'll, are to learn
American food-preservation methods.
The French Government arranged SO
that all it's agricultural leaders and
teachers could attend the demonstra-
Il i>ns which were given at Grgnon by
the Americans. Besides the French
men and women who took the course,
th' woman in charge of large Gov
cri ment school in Algeria, two men
fr'm Syria and two. from Egypt :, -
tended the lectures. The Algerian
teacher in addition to the regular
demonstrations and practice periods,
took extra work outside. She will
teach home canning and drying in AL
geria this year.
One Of the men from Syria who
was student at the canning course
is doctor Of science and a director
of the observatory in Syria. The
other is supervisor Of all the Jesuit
missions in Syria and Armenia They
plan to introduce the work to Syria
and Armenia. The two men from
Egypt had just graduated from COL
lege and were ready to leave for their
home in Cairo when the canning dem
onstrations began. They became so
interested that they postponed their
departure and attended all the lee
lures They also asked for instruc-
ton IN county agent organization.
These Egyptians hope to come to Am
erica in the near future and study
American extension methods
The work in France will not stop
with the return of the American
teachers, for the leaders who took the
course will teach the French people
home canning this fall and the Ameri-
can committee for devastated France
is taking up the work. A bulletin on
canning has been written by the Am
eric N home economic workers for the
use Of the French Government.

THE GOOD
DOG LAW"
Tax Payer Takes Issue
With It.
paid ADVERTISEMENT

Quite lot has been put in our
local papers recently eXtolling
the me rits of the present Dog
Law. The columns of these pa.
pers have been thrown wide
open, to those endorsing the bill,
and the punishment melted OFT
to him who fails to comply with
the law, have been pictured in
blood red letters, and no doubt
has served its purpose, as practi.
cally every dog seen, has a new
shining tag, dangling from his
collar. ! doubt if there is a man
IN the state who Is not willing
to pay tax on his dog. a reasoua.
BILE tax, and l dare say there are
just as many. who believe his
dog should be protected after his
license is paid. Further more,
there is not a man in Kentucky,
but that believes the state should
pay for all sheep killed by dogs,
and pay the assessed value, and
pay it when the claim is proven
and presented.
They believe Furthermore, that
the entire dog tax should be ap.
piled to this fund, and the state
make up the deficit But what
IS the use of having an exhorb.
liant tax on the dog and then
pay 40 per cent or nearly half of
it, to have the law drafted aud
placed upon the statutes, and
for collecting the tax. Let's take
for instance, Lincoln County, as
l see she has reported in full
She has collected $2,S6I; S per
cent of this was paid to the Com
missioner of agriculture, which
amounts to SI2S o5. The nun.
Der of license issued by County
Clerk was 2o99, who received for
every license issued IS cen Is.
The assessor received 10 cents
on every license. in this case he
receives S2o9 Now of the total
County live stock fund of S2o38.,
so the sum of 1858 90 or 40 per
cent of this total is used to aug
ment the salary of State ard
County officials instead of being
paid for sheep killed BY dogs.
This iaw also ptovidestirst any
surplus remaining after the
sheep claims have been paid
shall go to the School Fund. To
have believed that the School
fund would ever be benefited
by this law would have required
a stretch CT the imagination al
most to the breaking point.
Now taking Lincoln Caunty as
a basis of the 20 counties in the
state, We find she has paid SI2s..
oS to the Commissioner of Agri.
culture, but for fear Lincoln's
fund should be larger than the
average County fund we take
500 as the basis. Taking this

STOCK PENS
HAVE FINE OPENING

opened last Monday and the first
sale held by this long needed es
tablishment, far surpassed the
expectations of the most optOmis.
tic supporters. The largest
crowd seen in Mt. Vernon since
John Robinson S big circus thirty
years ago, was here Monday
Some came because of the trophy
train and some because it was
opening day for the stock pens
and those who came principally
because of the trophy train, found
themselves equally interested in
the pens, before they left town.
Between 400 and 500 head of cat.
tie. fairly good bunch of hogs
and several good mules were on
the market and nothing failed to
sell, except a few head, where the
parties did not really care to sell,
but want to hold them for the
May sale.
Managers w. A. Mckenzie and
c. A. Davis. who have leased the
pens for this year, were more
than delighted with the opening
A number of good buyers from
Garrari and Lincoln counties
were here and our own dealers
were out in full force and effect.
GOOD PENS.
Many of the buyers from else
where were very complimentary
of the pens and pronounced them
second to none IN any of the adj.
joining counties. There is all
the room needed and every con
venience required. Everything
is being set in motion for still
bigger and better sale on third

hogs aud mules ready and if you
do not have any get out and get
some. The buyers will be here
and those who have been driving
their stock thirty and forty miles

one sale, tell you the difference
in having a market at home and

The difference is money in the

High Type of American

Col RooseveH's career has left such a
vivid impression upon the people of his
time that it is necessary to touch but
briefly upon some OF the more striking
phases of his varied, interesting and
strenuous" life to recall to the public
mind full details of his many exploits
and experiences.
Called to the White House in 1901,
after President Mckinley had been as
sassinated, Col. Roosevelt, AZ years of
age. became the youngest President the
United States has ever had. Three years
largest popular vote P resident has re-
ceived
Thus Roosevelt, sometimes called a
man of destiny, served for seven years
as the nations chief magistrate In a
subsequent decade the fortunes of poll
tics did not favor him, for, again can
didate for President-this time leading
the Progressive party which he himself
had organized when he differed radically
with some of the policies of the Republi-
can party in 1912-he went down to de-
feat, together with the Republican can
didate, William Howard Taft, while
woodrow Wilson, Democrat, was elected
Col. Roosevelt's enemies agreed with
his friends that his life, his character
and his writings represented a high type
of Americanism.
OF Dutch ancestry, born in New York
city on Oct 81, 1858, in a house in East
Twentieth street, the baby Theodore was
a weakllng. He was one of four children
who came to Theodore and Martha Bull
loch Roosevelt The mother was of
