Visited brakes Farm.

Approximately five hundred farm
ers from over the entire upper Sec
ton OF South Carolina were on hand
last Friday at Wade brakes farm
to see for themselves his soil-build-
ing methods. The long line Of men
stretched across Mr.. brakes cotton
field for quarter Of a mile, follow
Ing N. e. Winters, who led the way
and used a large megaphone to ex-
plain to the crowd what was being
shown. Quite few leading farmers
OF Oconee were on hand, much inter-
ested in what was being shown.
All Of Mr.. brakes seventy acres
Of cotton had been busted four times
with calcium arsenate dust accord
ing to the government schedule. Mr..
Drake figures that this cost him $3.50
an acre. Ho busted four times in
July and quit ri August on account
Of the dry, windy and almost dewless
nights. Squares were picked up un-
til dusting started the first Of July.
Neighbors stated that Mr.. Drake had
the weevil as thickly in the begin
ming as anybody. The busting was
done properly BY MIR. DRAKE HIM
SELF and his son. He did not trust
others to do the work. Mr.. Drake Is
well pleased with the results, and his
fields show q good crop Of bolls which
will come very near averaging a balo
per acre. A difference in crops fol-
lowing crimson clover or velvet
beans plowed under was very clearly
shown as compared to land on which
no lcgumcs were plowed under.
The 17lh big gully was just begin
ming to bo filled up by Mr.. Drake. A
large bank Of soil was pulled across
tho lower end OF the 12-foot gully
and ditch arranged at ono side for
tho escape OF excess water noar the
top Of tho fill. Corn with VELVET
BEANS In a row down the middlos
between tho corn rows was in every

Prices secured from large dealers
In farm seeds during the past few
days show that vetch prices are
strengthening. 1t is, therefore, ad-
visab to order seed without delay.
Crimson clover seed are somewhat
cheaper than vetch, especially when
bought in the chaff direct from the
growers, and these seed can be used
to advantage on good sandy loan
soils when thoroughly inoculated
with soil from crimson or red clO-

bought for $1.S5 to $500 and should
be used to large extent this fall.
