CLOSE COTTON SPACING.
Gain In Yield Reported From
Single Stalk Method.

Twenty-Five to 100 per cent in
crease in yield is reported bv cot.
ton growers who have adopted
the new close spacing system of
cotton culture, according to the
United States department of ag-
ricultnre. The reports to the de-
partment show that many farmers
IN the South are turning to the
plan. Increased yield, less labor
and expense for the same crop
and a lessening of boil weevil
damage are among the benefits
recited in hundreds of letters
written by farmers in various sec
tions of the South.
Close spacing, more commonly
known as the single stalk method
OF cotton culture. consists prima
rIly IN spacing the cotton plants
sc, close in the rOw-a hoes width
apart-that the lower branches
do not develop, and the growth
OF the plant goes directly into the
upper or fruiting branches. per-
hitting them to begin the 6cve!.
opment of blossoms and bolls ear
lier and giving them more nour-
ishment and light.
The distance between the plants
is regulated with reference to
local conditions and the habit Of
growth Of different varieties. the
range being between six ard f.
inches. The plants then have n
narrow upright form and can be
left closer together in the rows.
Even with the plants only three
or four inches apart in the rows
there may be less injurious
.crowding than with large many
stalked plants three feet apart in
the rows. The distance between
the rows, usually about three feet.
cen also be varied with reference
to local conditions. but crOwding
the rows together. so that the sun
does not reach the ground. is m.
desirable. especially under boil
weevil conditions.

STILL SERVING HIS MASTER.
Though 90 Years Old Rev. Mr..
Ratchford Occupies Pulpit.

Many of the older citizens of
the Fort Mill community will read
with peculiar interest the follow
ing news item from the Yorkville
Enquirer of Tuesday relative to
the Rev. w. w. Ratchford. aged
Presbyterian minister, who was
pastor Of the Fort Mill Presbyte-
rian church q half century ago,

Coming back to greet his old
congregation after the passa ge of
81 years since he was pastor of
,Bullock's Creek. the Rev. w. w.
Rafchford of Waxhaw. N. c., aged
9O, perhaps the oldest minister in
America. preached in Bullock s
Creek church Sunday to the larg-
est congregation that Bullock s
Creek has known in months. De-
spite the fact that the winds and
suns of 80 summers and 90 win
ters have passed over his brow.
Father Ratchford.' as he is low
ingly known to thousands Of peo-
pic over the Carolinas. is still in
good health. His step is a little
slow. His eye is clear. His hear
ing is good. He still breaches
with that fire and force and de-
termination and earnestness of
purpose that characterized his
efforts when pastor of the church
nearly four decades ago."

PLAN TO MOVE MISSOURI.
Farmers Would Send Big River
West Of Present Course.

The greatest engineering feat of
the times, or what some describe
AS the biggest fool proposition of
a century, is being undertaken by
1000 Western farmers and bust
ness men, headed by a Nebraska
judge named Barlow. The propo-
sition is to move a large part of
the Missouri river from its pres
ent bed on the eastern side of
South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas and empty it into the Ar
kansas river, near Garden City,
Kans., distance of approximate
ily 1000 miles. ......
The proposition is no Joke. The
1000 hackers of the project have
already completed preliminary
survey along the entire 1000
miles. Engineering estimates of
the cost for half the distance
have been secured. The men be-
hind the project are said to be in
earnest and are willing to spend
their own money. Here are some
of the benefits as outlined by the
Nebraska judge;
Irrigate 100000 acres of farm
land which now is worthless.
making the land worth 5000 to
$500 an acre.
Provide 100000 farms of 40
acres each. - irrigated land.
Establish 100 new towns along
the 1000 miles of the new river.
Prevent floods for all time on
the lower Mississippi river in
Tennessee, Arkansas. Mississippi
and Louisiana.
Develop 3,500,0OO hydro-electric
horsepower, which will be used to
operate an electric railroad the
entire 1000 miles of the project,
light the homes on the farms, fur
nish power to all these farms and
pump the new river over a noun
tain range. .2
The State engineer of South
Dakota has estimated the cost of
completing the project across the
two Dakotas to the Nebraska line
at $50, 900, 900, and similar sum
is believed necessary for crossing
Nebraska and Kansas. -

VOTING ON ROAD BONDS.
Small Number Of Citizens Taking
Fart In Fort Mill Election

A very small number of Fort
Mill township citizens are going
to the polls today to cast their
ballots IN the special election or
dered some time ago by the York
county board of commissioners 70
PASS upon a proposed $4,000
township, bond issue for roa,
provements. Whether the bond
issue Will be authorized will not
be known until the polls close at
4 o clock this afternoon. bur so
tar as the expression Of sentiment
heard on the streets today mdi-
Gated the attitude of the cl,,zens
toward the proposition, there was
practically no opposition to it.
Many who ordinarily would
have voted in the election were
disqualified by a decision OF the
State supreme court holding that
no citizen who had failed to pay
his State and county taxes prior
to January l was eligible to vote
IN any special election held dur
ing that tax year. Whether ap-
proved by majority of ! or lOu
'he bonds would be equally legal
so far as that phase of the eiec-
tion IS concerned, but bond buy
ers are said to prefer to put their
money III issues approved by
representative majority of citi-
ZenS,
Should the voters of Fort Mill
township authorize the road bond
issue the next step toward The
Improvement of the roads of the
township will be the appointment
OF road commission of theree
members by the governor upon
the recommendation of the couatv
legislative delegation. In Kings
Mountain township, where road
bonds were voted some time ago,
the commissioners were selected
from three different sections of
the township. 1t is presumed the
delegation would follow the same
policy Ill selecting the commission
for Fort Mill township.
With road bond issue of $15,-
200 by Fort Mill township. there
would become available upon the
sale OF the bonds Approximately
$4,000 for road Improvement in
the township, the county having
agreed to put up $4,000 for the
purpose along with $4,000 fed
.eral aid already approved by the
state highway commission.
