SAVING SEED.
Not Considered Profitable After Early
Crop Taken on.

Not Considered Profitable After Early
Crop Taken on.
A writer 10 the Progressive Farmer
asks Prof. Massey whether it is prof
liable to save garden seed after the
early crop has been taken from the
plants. His reply is as follows:
1t is never profitable to save seed
that are simply the remnants Of a
crop. The tendency TO become later
and later would Of itself defeat such
a plan. But climate determines the
best place to produce the seeds need
ed, and a market gardener needs to
market the best and earliest and
hence cannot save the best seed even
if the plant made its best seed in his
climate. Seed growing and market
gardening are distinct lines of work
and cannot be combined proftably.
You can grow melon seed, and late to-
mato seed, and a few other things in
South Carolina. But for snap beans
for seed, you can get better from New
York State and Michigan. Garden
peas we get from England and our
Northwestern states. American
grown cabbage seed are worth a great
deal more for our climate than inn
ported seed. Onion seed are grown
in California, New England, and in the
Canary Islands. Radish seed grown
in France are much better for our
planting than seed grown here. Caul-
flower seed are grown in Denmark for
all the world.

RAILROAD STRIKE CALLED.
100000 Men to Walk Out on July 1st.
Unless Salaries Restored.

Chicago, June 27.-A strike of the
100000 railway shopmen of the coun-
try will be called for July / unless the
railroads agree to stay the 100000
900 wage cut due the shop workers
on that day and to restore certain
working conditions formerly in eff
feet, it was made known night through
a telegram from B. M. Jewell, head
Of the shop crafts, to the Association
of Railway Executives.
Decision to call a strike came late
today after lengthy discussion by the
executive committee of the six shop
crafts unions, based on the strike vote
of the men thus far tabulated.
The committee left but one loophole
to avoid the strike. If the rail heads
arrange an immediate conference, "a
greeing to present wages, restoring
present working conditions modified
by the Railroad Labor Board, and dis
continue farming out railroad work,
a wallout can be halted, the telegram
said. Otherwise "a sanction of with
drawal from employment July 1, 1922,
as voted by the employees will be un-
avoidable."

CHRIST IN BUSINESS.
The World Needs Religion More Than
II Needs Anything Else.

The World Needs Religion More Than
II Needs Anything Else
To no one class Of humanity did
the ministry of Gypsy Smith in Jack
son appeal more strongly than to the
business men. Says the Jackson News:
Slowly but slowly there is a general
awakening in business circles to the
plain truth that the principles Of
Christianity are Of far greater i'm
portance than any subject to which
human consideration can be given;
that if the world is to be regenerated
and made a fit place in which to live,
the Bible must form the foundation
thereon.
Business has come to realize that
without religion, the church and be-
lief in God, society and the state are
threatened, and that the heart Of
the trouble in the world, and the
cause Of the frenzy of crime that
has become manifest, is not found in
high railroad rates, iniquitous tariff
schedules, unjust wages, or profiteer
prices, but in the general irreverence
that has permeated the country and
which has led to them.
The Manufacturers Record, the
hardest headed, coldest hearted, most
business-lile publication in the coun-
try says:
@In the golden rule there will be
found a solution for every business
problem"

THE GRAND JURY.
RumOrs Rife Regarding the Long Ses-
sion Of the Inquisitors.

There have been numerous rumors
regarding the purposes of the grand
jury in delaying adjournment at least
two days after it had ceased to report
bills. These .rumors come from sour
ces apparently posted. The fact that
the jury was in session much longer
than usual and the further fact that
no bills were brought in for two or
three days just prior to adjournment,
caused considerable speculation.
However, the failure Of the jury to
indict, indicates that there apparently
was nothing found to be irregular in
the affairs of the county.
