meet and last to leave the enemy.
The value of his service was first
heard upon the outpost and with
speed it was taken up by
the skirmish line and ceased only
when victory took his place.
His breast bore the shock of battle
while his strong arm planted the col
ors upon parapets shot-raked, she'll
sown and reached only by hearts of
gold and nerves of steel.
1t was the private soldier, the man
behind the gun that carried the gen.
erals plans to success, from which
was woven an additional star to
adorn his uniform, and thus brighten
his history. 1t was the private that
kept watch while his commander
slept and it is he who occupies the
mounds that mark the spot where
contending armies met in battle ar
ray. He rests where he fell, his face
to the foe, and was wrapped in the
winding sheet of the nations love in
an unknown grave on the field his
valor had won.
Love and patriotism have embalm-
ed him.
From the general commanding,
down to the company commanders,
the private soldier was looked to and
relied upon for information regard
ing the location, number and move
ment of the enemy. His alertness,
endurance and nerve were put to the
test. The forced march, sleepless
hours, scant rations, the summers
heat and winters cold, the roar of
guns, the shrek of shells, the rattle
of musketry and the groans of the
dying were his constant companions.
To be continued.

Vetch as a Winter Cover Crop.

Clemson College, Sept. L9-Hetcn
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 soil.
Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) has
been found to give the best results
in this state, although there are sew
eral other good varieties commonly
grown. Because the reeumbent
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
harrow or a 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 well
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 will result
lin a failure to grow the crop.
Two hundred to four hundred
pounds of acid phosphate and SO
pounds of muriate are advised. 25
to so pounds of sodium nitrate ap-
piled early in the fall will give the
plants a good start and result in q
higher yield.
Fifteen to twenty-five pounds OF

with a grain crop. Vetch should be
planted in South Carolina between
October 1st and November 11th.. The
grain crop and the vetch should be
sown separately since the vetch seec
and the grain seed cannot be mixec
evenly.
Vetch makes its principle growth
in the early spring At that time il
may be pastured, but care must be
taken that the ground is not too wet
as the physical condition of the sol
will be greatly injured if pastured il
such a state. 1t should be kept il
mind that vetch is legume ant
that when the crop is turned unde'
it increases the nitrogen of the sol
as we'll as the organic matter. If th'
crop is grown with oats and cut fo:
hay, as much as three to three ant
one-half tons can be secured from
good land in South Carolina.

NOTHING has caused such a
~ furry among local auto men and
car owners since the beginning OF
the war as the toboggan In tires
started this week. Following the
announcement OF reductions ranging
from 10 to IS per cent on car tires
and even greater reductions IN truck
tires. retailers all over the country
have been hurrietly taking obser-
vations TO find out where they are
at"
For the most part branch houses

duction is a heavy blow. possibly
financial ruin.
While crude rubber Is plentiful
and dealers might have anticipated
a drop were rubber alone concerned
the fact that labor is still high, that
cotton and fabrics, together with other
materials used in tire manufacture,
have seen no reduction whatever,
led most auto men TO believe that
no drop in tires was possible for at
least several months.
The sudden drop IN face Of
these conditions has given rise

The population Of Texas Is 2S-43
people per mile OF road. according to
the 1918 census, or 1879 people per

which amounts to an average OF $3.50

OF 80 cents per capita per mile per
year that the road has cost. This cost
may also be expressed at SIS per year
on all motor vehicles or , cents per

'sThe authorities agree that a nine
foot gravel road is a satisfactory and
economical highway for traffic not to
exceed geo vehicles per day and that
a I6-foot gravel road Is a satisfactory
and economical highway for use OF
vehicles not to exceed 500 per day.
Authorities differ concerning the
automobile highway for traffic Of
from 500 TO 1000 vehicles per day, but
the general opinion is that for this
traffic some form OF 5ituminous sur
face is most satisfactory. II Is suE-
gested that far traffic exceeding 1000

be used. Traffic exceeding 1000

This Model 90 record is of value ouIy in explaining
