PLANT SOME WHEAT THIS FALL

Clemson College, October H.
1t is very likely that the Livc-a
Home idea will be of great impor-
tancc next year, especially in the boil
wecvil sections of the state, since
farmers who do not make success
ful crop Of wheat may have difficulty
in finding cash crops with which to
buy supplies for tcr families. In
der tcsc circumstances, it seems
wise for eac farmer to plant wheat
enough to supply the needs of his
family and his tenants, suggest,
Prof. c. p. Blackwell, Agronomist.
Wheat is not a very profitable crop
in South Carolina except for home
consumption. But enough should be
raised to supply home needs to
avoid buying high priced flour from
other states. Another good advan-
tage in raising wheat is that it can
be followed by crop of peanuts,
cowpeas, or soy beans, thus occurring
two crops from the land in one year.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-10-13

Then, too, the wheat will serve as a
good cover crop during the winter
and save a great deal Of fertility.
Extensive preparation of the land
is not necessary for planting wheat
1t is generally very satisfactory to
plant in cotton middles or after corn.
If the land is plowcd at all, it should
be plowed very shallow, for wheat
will not grow we'll on a loose seed
bed. From 800 TO 400 pounds of
1922 fertilizer, applied at time of
planting will be satisfactory, with
sevcnty-five to one hundred pounds
OF soda per acre about the first of
March. Wheat may be planted from
the middle of October to the first of
December very satisfactorily, but the
sooner after the first killing of frost,
the better. The seed should be sown
at the rate Of four to six pecks per
acre. The following varieties will
give good results. Red May, Fultz
Fulcaster, Blue Stem, Leaps Pro-
life, and Dietz Mediterranean.

CLUB BOYS AND
THE STATE FAIR
B. O. Williams, Asst. State
Bows Club AGENT.

Cley IN College, October IL
Ever. club boy in South Carolina
who possibly can do so ought to eX-
hibit his pig or his corn at the State
Fair to be held in Columbia October
25-29. Instructions have been sent
out to all club boys as to the details
involved. 1t will take very little
time or money to let the people of
the State know what Club boys are
doing, and, besides, there are good
chances Of winning prizes.
Corn Club boys should select
either ten-ear or one-ear exhibit,
or both, of corn and send it in. The
County Agent will give necessary in
formation for shipping. What we
want to do is have an exhibit at the
State Fair which will be representa-
tive of Boys Club Work, and which
every club boy and others interested
in club work will be proud Of.
Club boys should also make special
effort to attend the State Fair. 1t
is educational and profitable in many
other ways. 1t is great place to
see what the best farmers are doing
the most modern farm machinery,
and the very best Of livestock, poul-
try, farm crops, and other features
Of like value.
Club boys can get tickets to the
Fair at half-prces by applying to
the county agents in advance.

BOIL WEfVIL
QUARANTINE RAISED

Clemson College, Oct. 11.--by action
o fthe South Carolina Crop Pest Com
mission the Boil Weevil Quarantine
has been raised. This regulation is
ncffcct at once, and there will be fur
ther restrictions in the shipment of
materials from one point in the state
TO another so far as the boil wccvil
IS concerned, announces Prof. A. f.
Conrad, Entomologist for the Com
mission.
The wccvil at present is advancing
rapidly and less than 3 per cent of
the area of South Carolina is free.
This remaining 3 per cent will no
doubt be covered before frost. Similar
action has been taken by the North
Carolina State Board of Entomology
as affecting boil wcevil regulations in
North Carolina.
Attention is directed to the caution
that this action by the State Crop
Pest Commission be not construed as
including the Pink Bollworm Regula-
tlo"> interstate shipments from the
west arc entirely under the control of
the Federal horticultural Board, with
its Pink Bollworm Headquarters at

Don't Pick the Low Grades
 at Present Prices

An authority says that it costs ap- proximately 10c a pound, or $50 a bale, to pick, gin and wrap bale of cotton. At the present writing the three lowest grades of cotton-Good Ordinary, Ordinary and Low Ordi- nary-if sold would bring from $1O to $33 bale, less than the cost of picking and ginning and baling. At present quotations it is cheaper for you to leave your low-grade cotton in the field, instead of gathering it to help depress the price of your other grades of cotton.

If you will retire one-quarter of your crop (keeping the higher grades) until May, June and July, 1921, based on 12,0O0, 0,000-bale crop, this leaves available for spinning between now and May only 9,0O0,0OO bales. The one-quarter you retire now will bring you more money next summer than the three-quarters you sell be- tween now and then.

Adolph Klaube-'s rip-roaring farce which created such a sensation at the Princess theatre in New York last sea- son, will be the attraction at the Jef- ferson tonight
 Not in years has play come here so highly recommended. and if the advance reports are to be taken as a criterion the theatregoers have real treat ill store for them. for the first nignt re- viewers in New York fairly raved over this play, which is from the pen of Mrs Martha M.

 One of the novel features of "Nightie Night" is that it shows that at least one dramatic critic can produce a play in perfect manner We defy any com mittee of experts to pick out a single flaws in it. for which the producer can be held responsible.
 Adolph Klaubers "Nightie Night" is the most nearly flawless gem as far as production goes that theatregoers have seen in long time, so naturally the critics that laughed themselves almost into convuSions at the opening per- forinance are all sweled up with pride because MT.

Durant from Hugo, q wandering
preacher BY the name Of McDuffey
His pockets were empty but his heart
was full Of faith in Him who sent the
ravens to feed the hungry prophet ~
recorded in Holy Writ. But it is
very bad year for ravens in this
part of Oklahoma and besides that
the preacher had a wife and two
children to be provided for and maybe
in view of the high cost of living the
ravens didn't have the nerve to tackle
the job.
One night the preacher. held
forth on the corner of Main street and
second avenue, but the crowd was
more interested in the returns from
San Francisco than they were in the
words of the preacher. In the
morning he was broke and announced
that if he could find a job he would 20
to work. Then hard hearted person
got busy and found job for not only
the preacher but for his wife also at
wage of $1,000 a day for the two
