Shower Thursday

Thursday morning of last week
Mrs. Ferber entertained at a nine
o'clock breakfast in honor Of Miss
Emelie Brown, a bride Of the month.
Despite the copious showers of the

pointed time and did justice to a dain-
ty four-course breakfast, served by
the hostess, who is not a novice in the
art of entertaining pleasingly.
The table was artistically decorated
with japanese honeysuckle and bridal
wreath, and the place cards were in
keeping with these flowers of June.
AS most Of the guests were men,
bers Of the classes of '16 and II, late
ly returned from the arduous school
duties of the year, an hour of pleas
ant conversation and reminiscence
passed all too quickly.
A special fifth course, consisting of
a large platter Of useful and beauti-
full gifts, was then presented to the
guest of honor, who expressed her
surprise and appreciation in her ever
charming and gracious manner.
Those present were Mesdames Cary
and Livingston and the Misses Brown,
Smith, Liddell, Hockenberry, Erick-
son, Kallestad and Sperry.

LOCAL ARTISTS IN CONCERT
Program at M. E. Church Monday
Evening Delights Audience

Those who enjoy a high class con-
cert were accorded a rare treat on
Monday evening when Miss Dorothy
Brown, ably assisted by Mrs. Brown,
Mrs. Cary and Miss Emelie Brown,
with Miss Reva Smith, appeared in
concert at the M. E. church.
The platform decorative scheme Of
banked plants and cut ferns was en-
hanced by soft shaded lights, and its
being Flag day, Old Glory was given
conspicuous place.
The repertoire Of the company was
made up Of orchestra, violin, vocal
and piano solos, whistling, readings
and closing group of popular Choir
uses.
Miss Brown is too we'll known to
need any words of commendation as
to her skill and ability. She appeared
in her usual pleasing manner and
delighted the audience with group
of vocal solos, two violin and two
whistling solos.
Miss Emelie's piano numbers were
given in very artistic manner, show.
ing marked skill, and were we'll re-
ceived.
Miss Smith is a great favorite a.
a reader, being clever in humor and
equally good in pathos. She gave
three delightful readings, calling
forth rounds Of applause.
Mrs. Cary, Mrs. Brown and Miss
Emelie were the accompanies Of the
evening and it is needless to say that
this most important part of the pro.
gram was in keeping with the rest
Mrs. Cary also played the mandolin
Oakes may we'll be proud Of this
most talented and popular group. The
Brown family, while being recognized
leaders in musical circles, are never
too busy to help in any good work
and use their talent freely for any
public good.
The entire proceeds of the evening
go to the Presbyterian church.

The game with the All-American
ladies ball club last Friday was more
or less of joke, the score being IL
to 0 in favor Of Oakes, or something
like that. It may have been more than
IL, but we got tired Of counting at
that point. The All-Americans evil
dently figure that the novelty Of a la
dies ball team is a sufficient drawing
card, for they do not make an effort
to play the game.

BALL TEAM
IS ON TOUR
Local Aggregation of Base Ball Ar
fists Taking Them All. On
This Week
FIRST GAME SPOILED BY RAIN
Will Play Lisbon on Local Diamond
Next Sunday

The Oakes ball tossers are out for
blood this week. They left Monday
by automobile for weeks tour north
and east, having game scheduled
for each day. According to the dope
when they left, they were to play
Montpelier Monday, Jamestown Tues
day, Valley City Wednesday,, Tower
City Thursday, Fargo or Moorhead
Friday, and Lisbon Saturday. They
will return to Oakes after the Lisbon
game, and Lisbon will journey down
here Sunday to try their luck with
Oakes on the local diamond.
A telegram from The Times spec
ial correspondent enroute with the
team, received yesterday morning,
stated that the game at Montpelier
on Monday was stopped by the rain
after one inning had been played.
jamestown carried off the honors in
the game Tuesday by z to score.
Fisher pitched good game, but the
boys played in hard luck.
Our dopester says the boys look
like minor leaguers on this trip, and
they were confident of winning from
Valley City yesterday. No report on
that game had been received at time
of going to press. Valley City is re-
ported to have a strong team, having
recently added several more profess
sionals to their lineup and If the boys
annexed their scalps they will have
cause to feel rather chesty. It not not
certain when they left whether they
would play Fargo or Moorhead on
Friday, but either aggregation will be
hard nut to crack, and Oakes need
not feel ashamed Of team that can
make a good showing against such
clubs as jamestown, Valley City, Far
go or Moorhead. Here's hoping they
cop all the rest, to even up for that
hard luck at Jamestown.

terminates in one to four weeks. Long
leaf pine produces large seed full of
rich food, SO that it is eagerly sought
by insects, birds, and hogs.
In view Of the fact that many thou
sand acres will probably be carpeted
with long-leaf seedlings next spring,
Forest Service officials urge owners
OF long-leaf pine lands to take special
care in protecting the seedlings from
fire. They point out that it would cost
So to $40 per acre 60 do artifically
what nature has done gratis. Most of
the tender seedlings are killed during
the first year or two Of their existence.
Many of the remaining small ltrces sue
ceed in surviving fires, though with
more or less injury. Hogs in regions
where these trees grow destroy prac-
tIeally all the seedlings they can get
at by eating the soft, succulent bark
around the tap root. 1t is urged that,
if possible, they be excluded entirely
from land growing seedlings.
On lands burned over in the cold
season and not oftener than every two
OF three years the majority of the
long-leaf seedlings may be expected to
survive. Annual burnings by very
hot fires kill practically all this young
growth in the course Of a few years.
The common belief that gres do not
injure long-leaf pines or that they arc
even necessary foI natural reproduc-
ton is without foundation, though the
tree does offer remarkable resistance
to injury from fire. Tender young
seedlings, however, are easily killed
and there is every reason for begin
ming this yea- to provide permanent
protection for these valuable trees.

THE ARMY WORM SITUATION

Clemson College, Sept. 9-The
third generation Of the army worm
is now working full force, and these
worms will be active for a period of
ten days, says A. F. Conradi, State
Entomologist. According to the an.
pearance of the situation at this time
there will be a recurrence of this out
break next spring unless unexpected
winter weather should occur At this
time the principal damage is to forage
crops, and farmers are advised to keen
on hand for ready reference informa-
tion card No. 2, because the use of the
bran mixture on forage crops is en-.
tirely practical. Farmers are eau

port, and our importations arc insight,
ficant compared with the total con-.
sumption in this country.
The geratcst importation of butter
on record in the United States was
for the calendar year 1919, when it
reached only 9,519,368 pounds; the cx
ports for the same year were 1885,
485 pounds; which gives a net export
OF 25,O37,117 pounds.
The exports of butter have never
been high, but they have exceeded the
imports except in few years. In
1871 there was an import of 4,8OO,OO0
pounds of butter and an export of only
100000 pounds. The next time the
imports exceeded the exports was il,
1914, when the imports were 7,S42,O0O
pounds and the exports were 1903
ooO pounds. During and since the
European war the exports have been
much larger than normally The i'm
portations of butter from 1884 to
800 were from few thousand pounds
to little less than million pounds,
while the exports ranged from five
million to twenty and even thirty mil
hon per year.

Every young farmer in South Caro-

bility Of going to Clemson on Oc-
tober 1st to take the eight months
course in agriculture. This course
is intensely practical in its nature,
and will give to the yung farmer a
knowledge OF his profession which
he could not obtain otherwise.
Not only VIII he obtain this edu-
cation in agriculture, but he will be

PROTECT LONG-LEAF
PINE SEEDLINGS

Officials of the Forest Service Unit

returning from the South report that
the year 1920 is an unusual seed year
for long-leaf pine. The range of this
tree is roughly from North Carolina
through the Atlantic and Gulf Coas-
tai Plain States to eastern Texas
The occurance of a good seed yoar is
noteworthy, because this species ma

TO other crops at this time, because
sooner or later they may want to
grow it again as a predominatinp
crop. So far as the fall practice of

VII conditions, it is evident to every
farmer that it is the same as the
BEST practice in any section regard
less of whether it is yeevil infested
or not.
The weeyils in 1921 will come
from the number of weevils that pass
this winter successfully. The greater
the amount of rubbish on farms this
winter the better are the winter ac-
comodatlons to take care of the boil
Weevil and the greater the number
OF weevils in the spring of 1921.
Weevils do not hibernate in cover
crops. Among their splendid hotels
are cotton and corn fields on which
the stalks were allowed to remain;
grass on ditch banks and terraces;
underbrush along ditch banks and
woods; neglected orchards; waste
fields and roadsides.
