1t is determined that the best day for
planting cotton seed is the day on

to have any relation to cotton plant

upon the period between the time
when the tall late golden rod is in full
boom and the time when the common
white Japanese clematis flowers are
nearly all gone or the leaves are dis

of DR.. Hopkins.
And that is what the application Of
the science of phenology to agricul-
ture will be when it is worked out-a

indicate the right time for doing a

Hopkins has worked out forms for
gathering index material on practical

the course of years, qualified agricul-
tural experts will gather and system

Laughing Gas" for Soldlers.-Tne

Oddly enough, Sir Humphry Davy'

His suggestion attracted little atten-

dentist of Hartford, Conn.,, proposed
the use of nitrous oxide for the pain

cessful experiment in Poston. con-

Nowadays the dentists have rel'gat-

a. In the fight Of October II, the

displayed those soldierly qualities Of
fortitude. courage and skill which de-

A ROCK HILL DITTY

Today we'll sing about Rock Hill,
Where busy people live.
Where II we through misfortune fall
A helping hand will give.
Rock Hill Is a good old town,
Where neighbors congregate-
With some excuse when they go home
Because they stayed so late.
They gather up and down the street,
= They go from store to store;
They greet each other when they meet
Just like they have before.
They always talk about the crops,
= The-weAther too. you know; -
About the war and politics-
Then down the street they 60.
All roads that lead into the town
Where people 60 and come.
We can hear the wagons rattle
And autos passing hum.
Some driving horses, stepping high
With finest robes and rugs,
They pass the jades along the way
And class them down as plugs.
These farmers coming into town,
Their clothes don't fit 30 neat;
But as they peddle all around,
They sell good things to eat
Chickens, eggs, and butter, too,
Are scarcer there than silk.
Sometimes the city folks are glad
To get a jug Of milk.
These country folks and folks in town.
In fellowship they stand.
And when they find neighbor down.
They lend helping hand.
Such friendship. woven through and throus
We surely must confess
Il always does each other good,
And brings Us all success.
These business men are growing Old
Their heads are turning gray;
They soon must answer to the call
That takes US all away.
We watch our young folks rs they grow
With bright and glowing face.
They soon will lift the burden up
And take these old folks place.
