WOULD IMPEACH SHERIFF

Winston-Salem, N. c., Oct. 27.-
Steps have been taken to impeach
Sheriff E. O. Shelton, of Stokes coun-
ty one of the charges being driving
an automobile while intoxicated. The
indictment was brought by John F.
Kurfee, leading citizen. Shelton
was convicted in the city court here
two weeks ago on the charge of
drunkenness, resisting an officer AID
carrying concealed weapons, his ar
rest being made at the Forshyths
Fair grounds.

Clinton High school lost Friday al
ternoon to Abbeville High school by
the score of % to 1.-THE visitors at
tempted several rallies, but with the
exception of a few gains by Clinton's
Quarterback, Copeland, only one
touchdown was possib ble. This lone
score was made in the first period
when Abbeville suffered a 15-yard
penalty putting the ball on the Z
yard lihe. Clinton managed to pierce
the Abbeville line in two downs for
the needed distance. Blakely was the
Clinton lad who carried the ball
across and Copeland kicked goal.
Earlier in the period Allen Long
had gone eight yards for the first
touchdown for Abbeville and Gallo
way, as usual, kicked goal. In the
second period Abbeville made two
touchdowns, both Harris and A.
Long scoring. Galloway again kicked
In the third period the last touch
down of the game was made by.Pink
Bradley, who had replaced Foster
Barnwell at end, and who was called
back to carry the pigskin. Galloway
kicked again, this goal making 15
successful attempts out of II tries
for the season.
Jack and his little brother, Hugh
Bradley, were the two outstanding
stars for Abbeville on the offensive
while Gambrell, Smith and Galloway
come in for considerable praise for
making gains while carrying the ball.
Playing in less conspicuous posi-
ton it must be recorded that the old
reliable Buster Howie is due public
ity for he has played very consist
ent center throughout the season,
las not made a single bad pass, and
at times has done splendid tackling.
In Fridays game he threw his oppo-
rents twice for heavy loss of dis
lance.
Abbeville's line is still not up to
the standard. Copeland, the Clinton
quarter is light weight and had the
'Abbeville line been on the job he
should have never made an inch over
tackle or through any part of the
locals line. The line must put up a
better fight in the Greenwood game
Of next Friday if the team expects
20 win another game. Greenwood
comes here with all the pep neces-
sary to win a football game from any
team that has not more pep or does
not play harder ball than the "city''
boys expect to do. The coming oppo'
nents have lost their chance fol
state championship, having been de-
feated by Greenville and Honea Path
and it is very probable that their
sole ambition for the remainder Of
the season is to beat Abbeville.
1'They shall not pass" must be the
slogan of Abbeville's line Friday if
they expect to continue in the cham
pionship cass.
The Greenwood game Friday will
be called at $3.50 o'clock and the ad-
mission charges remain the same,
25 and so cents. Every citizen of
Abbeville must see this, which will be
one of the hardest games of the sea-
son, and half of Greenwood will be
here. Root for the home team and
root loud and long.
Abbeville's state record so far is
Belton 0, Abbeville 40; Laurens H.
Abbeville 16; Anderson 20, Able.

CIGARETTE


Gently given out by the State Agr:-
cultural Extension Division in CO.
operation with the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Drainage is the key because it
puts the agencies at work which
build up the soil. THE defective
ventilation, shallow roofing of crops,
poor physical condition and low tenn
perature that prevail in wet soil all
render the plant food-and especial
ly that in the subsidies avail
able to crops than in well-drained,
merely moist soils; and this condi-
ton interferes with the activities of
many forms of bacteria and fungi in
the soil with resulting injury to crop
growth By drainage ''the activi
ty Of beneficial organisms in the
soil Is increased. The organisms
that cause decay and those that
change and fix nitrogen require good
peraure, both of which result from
drainage. The supply of avilable
plant food is increased by the higher
temperature, better moisture condi-
lions, deeper root penetration and
greater activity of the soil organ
isms" which come from drainage.
And the. author Of the quoted
sentences in the preceding para
craps, Prof. Fippin in Farm Knowl-
edge" draws this important conclu-
sion: The better drainage of the
wet lands already in farms and I'M
der tillage is an even more import
ant economic problem for the farm
er and for the country than the pres
ent development of swamp land.
This is land being farmed at low
efficiency because of it's Wetness; no
assurance of better crops and regu-
lar returns can be given, whatever
the treatment, until that develop
ment is made. 1t is a very conserv-
alive estimate that one-half of the
cultivated land in the country needs
additional drainage" And the one
half which does not need drainage is
either artifcially drained or is IN

the dry-farming area. All OF SOUTH
eastern United States requires artl-s
fetal drainage for most profitable
farming.
The sweet potato crop is often
saved from total loss where there
is proper drainage. 1t is deslraple
that the soil should be comparatively
dry at the time of harvesting sweet
potatoes, and bright, drying weather
is essential to the proper hanallng
Of the crop.
Sweet potatoes should not be dug
when the soil is very wet, or on
damp days
The benefit of drainage to the
sweet potato crop may thus oe
summed up: CD it facilitates the
preparation of the seed or planting
bed because it removes surplus
water, enabling the farmer to ploW
and till the soil more quickly and
more easily; (2) it eliminates water
sogged soils, so that the minerals
which may be used by the plant Tor
food are put in proper solution to be
taken up by the plant roots, Vege-
table matter in the soil is more
rapidly decayed for fertilizer, and
commercial fertilizers applied are
more thoroughly and economically
consumed by the plant; CD it warns
the soil. "a moist, warm soil and
warm nights are essential for
quick start" (4) Under-drain tiles
would lessen the cost of raising for
it would largely do away with the
necessity for ridges. 80 Drainage
makes better potatoes, which COM
mand a higher market price. co
Drainage provides proper conditions
for harvesting the crop, so that there
is no loss from potatoes rotting IN
the ground, the crop may be har-
vested at the time most convenient
for the farmer, and the potatoes will
be dug dry which insures long keep
ing quality when properly stored.
Does drainage pay? One crop of
sweet potatoes saved will pay the
entire cost of drainage to the farm
err, to say nothing Of the annual In
crease in profits from richer soil
and better crops through drainage.

his own place and save his own po.a-
toes. AS rule we do not recon-
mend that farmers go into expensive
potato growing with the expectation
Of making money out of the sale or
sweet potatoes as a market crop, be-
cause at present there is not very
wide market for them. We do rec
ommend that they consider it from
the viewpoint of the food and feed
crop. Have potatoes for home con-
sumption the year. round, fatten the
hogs on them in the fall, sell them
from time to time during the year II
suitable market presents itself,
and feed any surplus or culls to hogs,
cows or other livestock. We be-
lieve you will find this one OF the
best crops that can be grown any
where is this state"
Value of the Sweet Potato as Feed.
'The most successful hog growers
are finding it highly profitable to
plant one or more acres exclusively
for 'hogging' off. BY themselves,
sweet potatoes make too bulky a
feed for finishing hogs, but as
supplement to other more fattening
feeds they serve a useful purpose in
adding variety to the ration and
stimulating the appetite. They have
a decided tendency to harden the
soft pork produced by peanuts, ana
for that purpose they may be used
to excellent advantage, especially
when fed in conjunction with sucn
crops as velvet beans or corn, or
both.
Some growers are at first 1nclin-
ed to consider sweet potatoes plant
ed exclusively for grazing to be an
expensive feed. But it should be re-
membered that the crop is heavy
yielder, and will carry more hogs per
acre than any other crop grown for
grazing An average acre of 1t will
feed more than twelve hogs for two
and one-third months. In reality 1t
is an economical source OF feed.
Furthermore, the cost of growing
and hogging off an acre Of sweet
potatoes amounts to less than two
thirds (65 per cent? as much, and
requires but a little more than half
the amount Of man and horse labor,
as does the same acre harvested for
home use or for marketing
And this suggestion for the use
Of surplus on hand Of potatoes dug
Is a good one: "When removed from
the ground the sweet potato con-
tains about II per cent OF water,
is per cent of protein, rs per cent
Of nitrogent-free extract, and 80 per
cent Of fat 1t will be noted that
both the protein and fat content of
the sweet potato are comparatively
low. The analysis Of peanuts shows
that the protein and fat are both
quite high, and by combining them
with sweet potatoes at the rate OF
one bushel Of peanuts, ground in the
shells, to three bushels of sweet po-
tatoes a splendid stockfood is pro
duced. Three bushels Of sweet pO-
tatoes are nearly equal to one bushel
Of corn in feeding value, but in order
to make them satisfactory as stock
food it Is necessary to add peanuts,
cotton seed meal, or grain"
DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, Of the Ex-
pertinent Station, says: "Sweet po-
tatoes make an excellent feed for
dairy cows. They should be mixed
with other feeds richer in the pro-
TEN element. It Is all right to feed
them in the raw state, but it is bet
ter to cut them up or slice them as
the whole potato may sometime pro-
duce choking"
