first step in securing large yield.
Flowing in July almost invariably
produces greater yields than blowing
later in the summer according to the
farm crops department Of Iowa State
College. ..,-.
The ideal seed bed for wheat is a
deeply plowed, we'll pulverized, well
compacted soil, supplied with plenty
Of moisture and available plant food.
Such seedbed cannot be prepared
in q week ar 1 tYo, Il takes time to
store moisture, get tie soil in the
right physical Condition and liberate
plant food. There must also be time
for, the soil to settle after blowing. In
a test carried through eight years
early blowing as compared with shall
low blowing increased the yield APP
proximately Is per cent ~
Deep blowing in July or August with
horses is slow, hard work. The many
farm tractors which are coming into
use should prove of considerable value
in this operation.

We note from the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat that steps are
to be taken to secure the federal road
aid in Orangeburg county. This will
be good news to the people of Bam-
berg. AS has already been stated in
The Herald, the contract has been
awarded for the building of Bamberg
county's link of the Columbia-Sa-
vannah highway, from Edisto river
to Salkehatchie river. If the plans
of Orangeburg county mature, Or
angeburg will take up the highway
at the Edisto river and carry it to
the county line between Orangeburg
and Calhoun. 1t is understood that
plans are being made in Allendale
county for that county to take up it's
link of the road at the Salkehatchie
river. If these three links of the
highway are built, the read will be
very nearly completed. We do not
know if Calhoun has arranged to
build its link, but no doubt such ar
rangements will be made, if not al
ready under way. The opportunity
to secure dollar-for-dollar in high
way construction is certainly too
good to pass up, and any county that
does not secure such road aid is not
on the job. There is also a fund
which can be drawn upon, on the
same terms, for bridge construction,
and it is to be hoped that perma-
nent bridge will be built over the
Edisto.

Real Literature.

He was very black, and in his
khaki he looked like coffee and choc-
olate ice-cream. After eating a
hearty meal in the American Red
Cross canteen at - he sat down
with book, near the counter. The
kind-hearted directress looked once
or twice in his direction, and was
surprised to see big tears rolling
down his. cheeks.
"Why, now, this will never do!"
she said kindly. ''Is there anything I
can do to help you?"
He dug his knuckles into his eyes
and replied:
II sholy am ashamed to make a
baby outen myself, ma'am. This yer
book done made me so homesick!"
She picked up the book he had
been reading. 1t was the canteen-
cookbook, and it was open at the
section of how to fry chicken.-Sat-

Governor Cooper has issued a
proclamation calling on the people OF
South Carolina to support the victory
loan. The campaign is now on. Bam-
berg county has responded to the
various calls for war purposes with a
liberality that has made the county
famous not only in this State but in
other States. This is tho final drive
for liberty bonds, and is perhaps the
last time Bamberg will ever be called
upon to subscribe to loans to the gov
ernment. The last loan should be
taken in appreciation of the great
victory that has been won. Only on
two occasions did Bamberg \fail to
meet it's quota for war funds, and on
those occasions there was no organ
lied effort to raise the quotas. The
present loan is decidedly the most at
tractive that has yet been offered by
the government; the bonds bear 4 3-4
per cent. interest, and mature in four
years, with the government retaining
the option of retiring the bonds in
three years.

BARNWELL SECURES LOAN.

Barnwell county, through County
Treasurer J. B. Armstrong, has just
secured loan for S45. 900. to be
used for current expenses during the
year 1919.
Bids we're asked from the various
banks of the county to make the low
est rate of interest on the loan and
the sealed bids we're opened up Mon-
dav. and it was found that the Home
Bank had made the lowest rate on
the money, that rate being less than
a.per cent. per annum and the coun-
ty and Mr.. Armstrong are to be con-
eratulated on getting such low rate
Of interest for the taxpayers
we'll Sentinel.
We understood from statement
of the ,Barnwell county treasurer
pubGshed a few weeks ago in the
Barnwell papers, that Barnwell was
practically out of debt. The state
ment was made that the county owed
only a matter of some S1,6OO. 1t
will. therefore, doubtless be matter
of information to the people OF that
comfy to learn that loan of S45,-
600 has been secured. What does
Barnwell want with the money?

Rather Damp Job.

While in London on holiday a
visitor went to have a look at the
Thames. There was a steam shovel
at work out in the river and he was
standing watching it. Suddenly he
felt tap on mis- shoulder and turn
ed around to find a son Of Erin
standing there.
"Say," said he, isn't London a
wonderful place? By gorry, now
just look at thing goin' down there;
now, look at it, isn't it wonderful?

What "Dutch Prophet" Says.

| Easter Sunday will be fair and
mild. The present low temperature
will pass away and nice weather will
succeed it within a few days. No
danger from frost may be apprehend-
ed in the meantime.
1t was Easter Sunday in 1S49 that
the phenomenal snowstorm occurred
70 years ago as. referred to by the
Anderson correspondent of The State
today (Thursday) Besides the ac-
count of the snowstorm which the
correspondent quotes from the fly
leaf of an old notebook, the Ander-
son Intelligencer of that week con-
tains an account of the phenomenon.
In this section the snow fall began
just as the people were leaving the
churches at the close of the services,
as the account of it was related to
the Dutch Prophet by an eyewitness
many years ago.
The trees were in full leaf, wheat
in the boot stage of it's growth and
other grain crops in the same -four
ishing condition. Corn was well ad-
vanced also. The wheat crop was
killed, making it a total failure, and
the entire corn crop had to be re-
planted. AS corn was always planted
in that period on March 10, it worked
a great hardship on the farmers.
AS indicated already in these fore
casts such disaster is not probable
this year, but unfavorable precipita-
tion will continue to be excessive as
already appears in the western cot
ton belt. Of course big crop of cot
ton cannot be produced in wet year.
The Dutch Prophets advice to the
farmers is to plant corn and other
food crops in abundance.
