ONLY ENGLISH BORN MAIDS

Lady Rachel Cavendish was always regarded as certain to be one of the chosen. She is one of the five daughters of the Duke of Deconshire, early announcement of her engage ment to the Prince of Wales.
 Her mother has always been the closest and most valued friend of Queen Mary, and it was at Chats worth, the magnificent mansion of the Princess and Lord Lascel1es ripen- ed into an engagement. Lady Ra- chel is also Q typically fair English girl and Is a great sportswoman and keen dancer into the bargain.
 Lady Doris Gordon Lennox who has also been discussed as a possible bride for the Prince of Wales, is the daughter of the Earl of March and one of Princess Mary's closest person a1 friends. She is just twenty-five life in the country rather than in London.
 Lady Mary Thyme was regarded as last years pretiest debutant She is a daughter of the Earl of Bath and a girl of keen individuality as well as being an ardent stud ent. She also is in Princess Mary's complete conf1- dence.
 Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daugh- ter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, is probably the brides maid more likely to make her mark on English society tin the next few years. She is very vivacious, en- terprising girl who does all the enter taining for her mother.

 Washington. Feb. 2o-Until more extensive research work is under taken and the American farmer is given the benefit of frst-hand and immediate information of the rapidly changing European market conditions agricultural ills in the United States cannot hope to be entirely cured.
 Delegates from all over the coun- try, who attended the conference on farm and allied industries, called at were practically in unanimous agree ment on this phase of the many varied discussions of the needs of the farmer
 ''Research work along all agricul- tural lines is a prime necessity of the sentative Sidney Anderson, of Mime sota, chairman of the Congressional Committee on Agricultural Inquiry. who presided as permanent chairman at the farm conference.
 ''To get the best results I believe it will be necessary to centralize all research work, and I don't know of any better agency than the National Agricultural Department. At the standardization is impracticable. Of course there must be experiment stations for research work in va rious parts of the country, but think they should be under control of the Agricultural Department.
 fThe results of research work do not appear, in many instances, for several years and even longer before they can be commercially applied. But eventually some good is derived by the farmer through research eff forts.''
 Much of the depression now ex- perienced in the farming industry is attributable to lack of comprehen- eign markets, farmer agree. Over production and no market to handle

excess crops are held to be charge able to this failure to gauge European food needs.
 "Give us the market in this coun- try, and we will be far on the way to solving our own troubles" is the dirt" farmers of the country.
 J. M. Anderson, of St. Paul. Minn.. president of the Equity Co-Operative Exchange, is responsible for the as- sertion that the main solution of the farmers perpleXities lies in proper financing of foregi countries, so that they may buy American farm products and thereby open up a market to relieve overproduction.
 Urges Export Credit Plan.
 'I believe" he said, that we should extend such credit to foreign coun- tries as will enable them to take the surplus staple products off our hasnds at living prices to our producers and distribute them to the countries of Europe which are starving for want of them.
 "I believe that the United States should extend sufficient credits to foreign countries, say $1,000, 100000, taking as security municipal, Govern ment and approved industries securi- ties of those countries and giving them ten or fifteen years in which to repay. The credit so established should be used in the purchase of our agricu1- tural products and used in such a. way providing it would directly reach our producers-not be consumed in inter- mediate agencies.
 we spent thirty billion dollars to help save democracy-1et us now spend one or two billions to help save agriculture and perhaps civilization itself.''
 The result of this suggestion may be that the Government will be peti- toned by the farmers of the country to embark on the undertaking of financing foreign countries so that American products may be bought.

NEW HOLINESS CHURCH.

Mr.. Watson Sorrow and his fol-
lowers have organized a Holiness
church In Abbeville and the building
Of a house of worship is nearing COM
pletion on South Main street. This
has been accomplished by free will
offerings, members and outsiders
giving money, labor, lumber or any
thing that could be used. The work
the building is being done by the
members and any one choosing to
lend a hand.
For several weeks at night after
the closing of the mill hammers have
been ringing between the hours OF
8 and II o'clock. Electric lights were
installed so that the builders might
see to work. The members of the
Holiness Church are possessed OF an
idea and the church will grow. When
moved by the Spirit they speak in
the unknown tongue" and have
very interesting meetings.

SEVEN BALES
ON 6 ACRES OF GROUND
And Used Only 800 Pounds of Fer
tilizer to the Acre and No
Poison.

Greenwood, Oct. 5.-Seven bales
of cotton on six acres, without the
use of boil poison and with only 800
pounds of fertilizer per acre, is the
record claimed this season by Joel
Townsend, successful farmer Of the
Cokesbury section.
Mr.. Townsend attributes the un-
usual yield to the fact that the cot
ton land has been planted in crimson
clover for about four years. This
season he used an early variety of
cotton, planting it on May 8, and
fertilized with 200 pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda. The tract IS away from
waste land and brush which harbor
boil weevils and this, he believes,
was also partially responsible for the
freedom from weevil infestation.
