tales works with surer hand than MT. Chambers. Here in one breathless story is caught up the black magic of ancient China, together with the mysterious workings of a vast secret society whose tentacles spread westward to the United States. The part played by Tressa Norne, for years a captive temple girl in China, in undoing the plots of this band, is story that even MT. Chambers would have trouble in matching in his long list of exciting tales.
 THE WHITE MOLL"
 By Frank l.. Packard. George H. Doran
 Company, Publishers, New York City
 Whether it is right to do evil that good may come of it is the theme of Frank l.. Packard's story of feminine Jimmie Dale, Rhoda Gray, known to the under world of New York's East Side as ''The White Moll." An only child, she turned for respite from grief, at her fathers death, to charitable work, and at the time of the story, she had come into close and intimate contact with the crim- inal element of the city, with the pohce and the social workers, who had, since she volunteered no further information, come to accept her as "The White Moll' and respect her as such.
 How Rhoda Gray became involved with a band of thieves, and how she worked, apparently with them, and in danger of arrest by the police, but in reality on the side of justice and order, is an cx-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-12

citing story in which episode follows episode, working up to a satisfactory conclusion at which Rhoda Grays heart was stolen by a mysterious young gen. tleman who had more than once helped her out of bad predicament.
 With the discovery of who this young Rhoda Gray to be mixed up with a criminal gang, the story ends. An ex- citing and entertaining yarn as ever came from the pen of the creator of Jimmie Dale and "The Miracle Man.
 With the recent wonderful success Of man is and how he happened, like "The Miracle Man in the movies Frank Packard has stepped into the front rank as creator not only of mystery and adventure tales of the underworld, but also of stories of singular power and originality. MT Packard recently re- turned to Canada after a spring tour of the east, in which he made plans for several new things on which he is at work.
 WILLIAM. AN ENGLISHMAN." By Cicely Hamilton, Frederick A. Stokes
 Company Publishers, New York City.
 To Belgium, in July, 1914, go two happy English lovers on their honeymoon Locked away from all the world in a tiny cottage in the Ardennes Valley, they see no newspapers. receive no let ters, and, speaking only English, hear no rumors of war in the early days of August In their placid little world of love and pleasure, war is as far away as the moon.
 They notice with bewilderment the flight of the natives. and then in short hour they are plunged into the cataclysm of the advance of the Huns through Bel gium. With amazement and terror they witness the execution of the mayor of the village. War surrounds them and engulfs them, literally before the first numbness of their bewilderment has died away.

COUNTY DEMONSTRATORS DEPT.
Conducted At Intervals By GEORGE o. MARSHALL, Farm
Demonstrator For Sumter County

Every farmer in Sumter county
who raises hogs or cattle should have
a permanent pasture. 1t is essential
to successful growth of young animal
and is necessary from an economic
point of view. Summer grazing needs
more attention in this section than
winter grazing, as it is easy to fur
nish winter grazing with rye, oats and
rape. The time of year is here to
prepare for the summer grazing.
The following mixture is good for
south Georgia damp soils and some of
the mixture will prove pest, but may
be destroyed by blowing as any ordin-
airy grass.
Mixture for average conditions:
Lespedeza, 10 pounds per acre; red
top, 3 pounds per acre; carpet grass,
3 pounds per acre; white clover, 2
pounds per acre.
1t will be found that good grazing
can be had from this mixture, and the
plant most adapted to the local condi-
ton will eventually cover the pasture.
The lower damp soils are best suit
ed to pasture and should be used for
this purpose as far as possible. In
case of a large area to go to pasture
small area may be seeded this spring
to the above mixture and by grazing
it will spread over entire pasture.
If any fertilizer is to be used, it
would probably pay to use acid phos-
phate alone.

FERTILITY OF SOIL AND
PLANT FOOD-Every plant that
grows has life that must be sustain
ed and developed by proper feeding
To get best results there must be
balanced rations of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash for the main
courses.
Many gardeners fail to get best re-
suits from their work because con
tinued use of the ground has exhaust
ed one or more of these ingredients.
or perhaps the soil is naturally def
cient in this valuable element. No
where is this so conspicuously shown
as when tomatoes fail to set fruit
where other conditions have been
complied with.
HUMUS-This is one of the most
important elements to be maintained
and it is the matter formed by the
decaying vegetation, such as grass
weeds, leaves, vines, stalks, manures,
etc. No dry vegetable matter should
be burned up, but should all be
buried, or spaded under to produce
this valuable element. There is nc
danger of getting too much of this
into your soil.
NITROGEN-This is one of the
most valuable elements to promote
strong and healthy stalk and foliage
growth, and for that reason should
be supplied early in the life of the

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
There are on the market a number of
standard brands of balanced fertil-
lZers that give fairly satisfactory re-

to open furrow where the row of
plants is to be and thiniy scatter the
fertilizer in the bottom and cover
lightly and leave for two or three
weeks before the planting is done

are obtainable they should be scat

IMMUNITY TO HOG CHOLERA
LASTING.

A series of recent experiments on
duration of immunity to hog cholera
following simultaneous innoculatioh
of young pigs supports the conclu-
sion that the protertios is lasting. The
Investigations were conducted at
Ames, Iowa, by specialists of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Altogether I'll pigs, inoculated
when week to six weeks old and eX-
posed to hog cholera at times vary
ing from months to 9 months and
26 days later, were found without eX-
ception to be immune to that dis
ease.
Three of +he pigs, however, died
during the period Of exposure from
causes other than hog cholera.
There was no apparent ill-effect
from the simultaneous incubation in
anv of the pigs.
There was no difference in the i'm
munity of pigs from immune and non
immune sows.
Pigs that were approximately one
week old received 10 cubic centimeters
of anti-hog cholera serum and 1-2 C.
c. of virus. Pigs that were three
weeks old or more received Is to 20
c. c. of serum .and from 1-2 to "a
c. C. of virus.
Immunity was tested by injecting
5 c. c. of virus into the animals when
they had attained weights exceeding,
in many cases, 200 pounds. None
of the hogs contracted cholera. The
experiments appear to disprove as
ertions bv some observers that stimuli
taneous incubation of young pigs is
not lasting and that immunity Gigap-

COTTONSEED MEAL FOR WORK
STOCK

One pound of cottonseed meal per
day for each 1000 pounds live weight
is the most satisfactory quantity TO
feed work animals, according to re-
cent experiments conducted by the
department of agriculture. A test in
feeding cottonseed meal to WORK
horses and mules at the governme~ t
farm, Beltsville, Md. was begun in
1918 and continued last year. When
the meal was fed in large quantities
harmful effects were apparent, how
over, indicati~g that cottonseed meal
like any other high-protein feed, must
be fed with care to horses and mules.

EVERY MINISTER
0NCHAMBERLIST
Women's Group Also In
creased By Assign
ments of Plurals

Membership in the reorganized
Chamber of Commerce had been in
creased today to 4S6 without any sys-
tematic work since the close of the
drive last week, several voluntary
subscriptions having come in, but a
committee headed by S. R. Heys was
at work in the 18th district today,
giving the residents of that section
of Sumter county an opportunity TO
join the expanded chamoer, which is
meant to coordinate the forces of
the county and city. 1t was expect
ed a considerable addition to the
membership roll would be reported by
these workers tonight. Chamber Off
GERS were confident the total would
pass the 500 mark before the end of
the week without serious effort.
The newest memberships received
are as follows: Lawson and Frank
d. Stapleton and W. W. Cranberry,
of Americus, G. C. Thomas, of Cobb,
ana rIoyd I. Jones, OF Leslie.
1t was announced today at the
Chamber of Commerce that through
the assignment of plural memberships
to individuals under the reorganlza-
ton rule, a number of women had
been added to the chamber, enlarg-
ing by considerable the female group
formed by the dozen women who be-
came members in their own right dur
ing the drive. The womens group
is expected to be a vital force IN the
affairs of the new body and the for
nation of its policies.
1t was also announced today that
every minister in Sumter county
would be a member of the chamber
through the assignment of plural
memberships, practically every sub
scriber to or more memberships
having delegated one membership to
a clergyman. This is also counted
upon to provide an important force
in the organization.
Herbert F. Sherwood, who conduct
ed the publicity for the campaign as
a member of the American City Bu-
reau, and who is temporarily in
charge of the reorganiza ion work,
was busy today having mailed out
statements for initial payments of
dues to provide the finances for put
ting the work of the new chamber or
