Terracing Important.

Clemson College, Dec. 13.-Soil
erosion or the washing away of the
soil from the fields costs the farmers
of South Carelina millions of dollars
every year. Proper terracing Riss the
first fairst aysnsiing this foiss This
lis the season of the year to give at
tention to terrace making.
There are two general types of ter
races that may be used, the bench or
narrow terrace and the broad-base
terrace. The broad base terrace may
be of two kinds, level or on a grade.
The broad-base graded terrace is
known as the Mangum terrace.
While the bench terrace is the type
that has been generally used in this
state, it is rapidly being replaced by
the broad-base terrace except on very
steep slopes. The bench terrace is
essentially steep land terrace and
should not be used where it is posi-
BILE to build broad-base terrace, ad-
vises R. w. Hammond, of the Agro-
nomy Division. The objections to the
bench terrace are that it is expensive
to keep up, it cannot be cultivated,
it is usually allowed to grow up in
weeds and grass that draw the plant
food away from the adjoining crops,
it prevents the ready passage of farm
machinery from one field to another,
and it furnishes excellent winter
quarters for the boil weevil.
The broad-base terrace does not
have any Of these objections and
therefore should be used where the
slope permits. The broad-base level
terrace should be used where the soil
is porous enough to absorb the rain
fall before it can injure the growing
crop or collect in sufficient amount to
flow over the top of the terrace. This
type of terrace in preventing the rap
id run off of rain furnishes moisture
to the crop for longer period in dry
weather and allows practically none
of the soil or fertilizer to escape.
The Mangum or broad-base grad
ed terrace is exactly the same as the
ibroad-base level terrace with the ex.
ception of the indicated difference, il
is built with a fall This type is used
on soil that does not absorb rain rap.
idly and where there is danger Of the
water collecting and overfowing a
level terrace. Some soil and fertility
is lost in drawing off the water by
the gradual slope, but this loss is in.
significant compared with what the
loss would be without terracing.
Detailed instructions as to building
terraces may be had from the coun.
| ty agents or the Extension Service

Treat your mother as kind and po-tt

l.1The Red Lion. :" It was .'The Copper
Kettle Tea, Room" that our little par
Ity took place and all the gathering
lacked was a colored nanny to serve
us. I am sure that we all talked at
once, and all answered at once, and
|isince it was mostly Of South Caro-
lima that we spoke, it was love feast
I.of good cheer. !;
Soon after my return to Boston I
went up to the public library and saw
again the massive memorial to
"Shernaan's March to the Sea" and it
rufied me much more than ever. I
was with the same Massachusetts girl
who had been to tea with the South
Carolinians, and / said look at. that
memorial to Sherman" It was like
referring to some trivial incident in
the history Of Afghanistan, for in
stance. 1t meant nothing to me one
way or the other. T
There is very great difference in
the consciousness Of the Northernef
and that Of the Southerner. The
North has money to spend on splen-
did memorials, but / wonder some
times how much the average one
knows or cares about the events they
commemorate. The South on the 9TH
er hand, has had little chance to en-.
grave its heroes names on tablets OF
stone, so it has engraved them On the
hearts Of its people, and conequently
we feel more reverence, more real
respect for past greatness. Their at
titude is partly accounted for by the
fact that SO many Fasteners are
foreign born.
To return to the subject of tea,
the Bostonian has reduced the serving.
Of it down to a positive art. The 9TH
er day / was calling in Boston, and
here tea is served on, the slightest
provocation. Leaning against: the
wall was quaint table that folded
and unfolded itself quite convenient
ly. When in use it was tea table,.
and at other times is disappeared
quite out Of the way. On this table
ny hostess la;ld aass
tea, else IL Should have siib 81 bstithtsd ss 7s u
T-bone steak for it long ago. Then
the tea pot is attached to an electric
appliance in the wall near at hand,
and the drink was served like magic.
"The Copper Kettle" was a very
cosy place, and the tea was fragrant
of cotton blooms. We talked till the
candles burned low, and in the Copper
Kettle we buried a treasure, new
allegiance to the state in the union
that is a little bit better than any of
the other forty-seven.
Perhaps shall never have the priv
ilege of returning to Northampton
again and to "The Copper Kettle Tea
Room" but the others certainly will
and they may find each time some of
the buried treasure, a memory of all
the happy things we said Of the old
Palmetto State.

On Moving Bees.

Clemson College, Dec. 18--If bees
are to be moved, this is a good time
of the year to move them. In moving
bees there are some important
things to be rendered, suggests E. S.
Provost, Extension Bee Specialist.
1. Close the entrance of the hive
with screen wire to prevent the bees
from getting out. The wire will also
give sufficient ventilation.
2. Be sure that the hive is fasten-
ed together so that the bees can not
get out. This is done by mailing the
bottom and the top to the brood
chamber with hive staples or Stats OF
wood.
8. Be very careful not to give the
bees any unnecessary jarring, as the
jarring may break the comb. If the
comb is broken at this season of the
year it may fall over and kill the
queen, which means destruction to
the hive.
a. In moving young swarms, use
great care as their combs are more
easily broken than those of older
swarms.
5. When you get your bees to their
new location, remove the screen wire
so that the bees can get out. The
Stats may be removed at any time.

Of the Raritan Township Board of

to school house No. 6 at Oak Tree,
and the floating of a bond issue for
the financing of the project, subse-
quent to approval of people of the
township al a special election called
for that purpose, was upheld in an
opinion made public today by Assis-
tant State Commissioner Of Educa-
ton Charles Strahan.
The validity of the local Board of
Education in adopting such resolu-
lions was contested by Mr.. and Mrs.
George W. Ainscow, of Raritan
township. They claimed that at the
special election fifty ballots in the
Affirmative cast by persons lacking
proper qualifications were counted,
thus carrying the election. The ap-
peal was heard before Assistant
Commissioner Strahan at New
Brunswick Monday. August %.
According to testimony taken"
read the report of Mr. Strahan, "the
number of ballots actually found to
be illegal cast for and against the
proposition did not prove altogether
to exceed eleven, and the total num-
Der Of ballots cast in the affirmative
and negative by unregistered voters
failed to exceed twelve" This would
not affect the result.
