One Kind of Strike Passing.

In an address at the Pressman's
home, Mr.. Gompers said that all this
talk about abolition of the strike is
"absolute rot" But is it? The Unit
ed States government has proved that,
acting under the Constitution, it is
strong enough to carry the country
away from the character Of strike
that has disrupted its business in re-
cent years and has set up machinery
by which all strikes, other than those
of a lawful kind and conducted under
lawful measures, may be suppressed.
Industrial peace can be established
in the United States on basis ac-
ceptable alike to labor and capital
and we are making headway in that
direction, though yet a little behind
Canada, which government, so Mr..
Floyd Parsons claims in the current
edition of The Worlds Work, has
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1922-10-05

gone long way toward the estab-
lishment of industrial peace in its
country. The law there provides that
where a strike or lockout is threat
ened in the industries conducting
Transportation, communication by teler
graph and telephone, and mining, be-
fore such lockout or strike can leg
ally take place, the parties must re-
fer their differences to a board Of
arbitration for settlement. Each par
ty to the dispute appoints member
of the board of arbitration, and if
these two can agree upon a chairman,
they appoint him; if not, he is ap-
pointed by the Minister of Labor.
Mr.. Parsons says that during pc
riod of nine years, 1872 disputes were
brought before a board Of arbitra-
ton, and in only two instances was
there failure to settle the dispute.
Here in the United States, in recent
years, we have from 1000 to $500
strikes annually. Perhaps the Cana
dian scheme is not altogether perfect,
but who can say, Mr.. Parsons asks,
"that is it not better plan than
the hands-off policy this country has
followed with such futility for so
long ?"-Charlotte Observer.

Cover Crops Make Live Soils.

Cover crops plowed under in the
spring, make live soils, and it is al
ways live soils that give the best
crops, no matter what is planted on
them.
A live soil is fertile soil. 1t
breathes, eats, drinks, and teens with
bacterial life. By chemical reaction
and physical forces, the plant food Of
the soil is made available for plant
use. A live soil is mellow, friable
and porous. 1t warns and drains
easily. It consists Of granules, which
in turn are composed of particles Of
rock held together by humus. This
granular, porous structure gives space
in which air, with its life giving oxy-
gen may circulate, and allows plant
roots to penetrate. It also increases
the moisture holding capacity Of the
soil. A soil in good condition has
about so percent Of air space. Not
only must a soil have sufficient plant
food, but it must be in good physi-
cal condition before it can produce
good crops.
With continued cropping, the fer
tiity and humus of the soil is ex-
hausted. The granulation, and thus
the pore space, is destroyed. The
soil is left an inert mass unable to
support life. Much humus is lost
by flashing, at it is the lightest and
finest part of the soil and is the first
to be carried away where the surface
drainage is poor. When exposed to
air, humus also deteriorates in value.
Therefore it is most important that
the supply of humus in tn soil be
maintained and increased.
Don't forget that planting cover
corps is the best way to keep up this
all important part of the soil.

other crate. Fill the crates full, and
haul direct to storage house. Don't
nail the tops on the crates as the
potatoes will have to be gone over
again before shipping to take out any
rotten ones.
5. What should No. potato be ?
A No. / sweet potato should be not
less than l Sd inches nor more than
8 1-2 inches in diameter.--Not less
than 4 inches long nor over 10 inches
long. They must be of the best quail
ity and true to type. They must be
free from cuts, bruises, scars, dis
ease and blemishes. This can be ac-
complished by using big plows in
harvesting.

TAKE CARE OF THE CALF
IF YOU'D HAVE A GOOD cow
If Mothers Milk is Taken Away, Care
Must be Given to Youngsters Diet
Good Sanitation Highly Essential.

If we are ready to admit that a
cows milk is too good for a cows
calf and that it is economically prof
liable to rob the future sow for the
sake of present gains, then it is quite
necessary to know how to raise calves
on separator milk or other artificial
and unnatural foods.
The usual practice is to pour sep
arator milk, sometimes cold, into a
large trough which is never cleaned,
and allow the calves to drink until
they are satisfied. This method
means pot-bellied, runty calves that
never make the growth that they
should, even though they fortunately
escape the ravages of indigestion.
Calves should not be given quite
enough milk to satisfy their appetites.
Each calf should be fed separately,
carefully regulating the amount of
milk by the size of the calf. The fat
CldC lldS Detu IcIlONCu VIC SSPc
rator may in way be supplied by
adding a handful of corn meal, or
flaxseed meal to each bucket of milk.
After drinking the milk, the calf will.
be kept busy eating the meal instead
of sucking another calf's ears. The
milk should always be warm but nev-
er given to the calf directly from the
separator, when it is frothy.
The milk buckets should be taken
to the milkhouse or kitchen and ster-
ilized at least once a day. Calves
will soon begin to eat little hay,
and grain, like ground oats, should
thereafter constitute part of the food
ration.
If it pays to raise calves at all it
pays to feed and care for them from
the day they are born. Farm santa
ton is the all important thing in the
care of livestock on the farm.

Edited by T. NJ. Cathcart.

a producer of large ears, since it
might have had a better chance than
some others in the field, the stalk
might have been too tall and slender,
and the ear mught have been too high
on the stalk. 1t is, therefore, neces-
sary to know the stalk from which
an ear comes.
Select from stalks which are strong
and stocky, and gently tapering from
the ground up. The ear should not
be growing higher than ones shoul-
der, as this has an important bearing
on the labor of gathering. The shank
should be just long enough to per-
NIT the ear to turn down at maturity.
If earliness is desired, such stalks
can be kept separate. Do not gather
the corn until it is well matured.
Mark each desirable stalk with tag
or by some other method and leave
it standing in the field. If the corn
is to be cut and shocked, the marked
corn can be left and shocked sepa-
rately.
Field selection is of large import
ance, but there is work still to be done
after the corn has been shocked and
taken to the barn. Experiments have
shown that an ear which Is cylindri-
cal, gently tapering, and has straight
rows of deep, plump kernels will pro-
duce the highest percentage Of grain.
The cob should be medium to small,
rather than large. Large cobs mean
a smaller percentage of grain, as well
as a possibility of causing the grain
to mold on account of the cob's not
drying out. The grains should be
long and full. A gently wedge-shap-
ed and plump kernel will leave very
little space between the rows. Sharp
ly pointed grains are usually loose
on the cob.
The spacing and shape of the ker-
nels will vary with the variety, but
care should always be taken to select
only those ears that have well develop
ed kernels that are not loose on the
cob. The careful study and selection
of the individual ears must be done
after the corn has been brought to
the barn and the farmer can do it
in his spare time. AS soon as the
corn has been carefully selected it
should be stored in well ventilated
room out of reach of rats and mice.
1t should be inspected at intervals
throughout winter to see that it is
in good condition.

Orchard Work for Early Fall.


Have you supply of fruit on your
farm? If not, why not begin now,
to make arrangements for it? On
almost every farm of the state there
are a few trees, producing small
quantity of fruit. In most cases all
the fruit ripens at once and Is soon
gone, giving a supply for only a short
time and leaving none to put away
for winter use. No southern state
is better adapted then South Caro-,
lima TO producing fruit for home use'
vet millions of dollars leave the state
every year for canned fruit.
At this season of the year orchards
are usually neglected. Farmers seem
to think that there is nothing to be
done then that will be of any mate
rial help. Nevertheless, now is the
time to begin to prepare soil for the
trees that are set out this fall and
winter. Select the orchard site, break
the soil as deeply as possible and
harruw thoroughly. This work will
greatly reduce the later labor Of set
ting the orchard.
II you already have an orchard,
why not begin to improve it now!
A cover crop sown now and turned
next spring will help wonderfully.
Twenty pounds Of crimson clover seed
per acre, sown and disced, will make
a good cover, provided the seed are
inoculated. Three pecks Of rye and
20 pounds of hairy vetch to the acre
will also make a good cover for the
orchard. If these are turned next
spring at the first cultivation they
will add a lot of fertility to the soil
and will also help to hold moisture.
There are a good many mummy
fruits hanging to the trees. These
are full of spores and if left in the
orchard will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now is a good time
to get these out of the way. Pull
and burn them.
Borers may have been giving you
trouble. You were advised to paint
and mound the trees early in summer.
The mounds should be pulled down
on October Is and the trees examined
Tor borers. The young borers are
just entering the trees the middle OF
October and will be found going in
Just above the level of the hill Of
dirt you pull down. If you find any
of them. scrape the bark off with a
knife and the little borers will be
destroyed.
The work at this season consists
largely in cleaning up and preparing
for winter and spring. If done prop
erly, the trees receive much benefit.

Sweet Potatoes Must be Properly
Handled.

|
l. When are potatoes ripe and
ready to harvest?-
The sweet potato natures or ripenS
just as does a peach or apple. There
is but one accurate method of tell
ing when ripe. Dig about a dozen
hills around over the field, and break
the potatoes in half. Don't cut. with
knife! The knife will leave dark
stain and it will be impossible to de-
termine if ripe. Break the potatoes
and allow to stay in the sun for halt
hour or longer. If very little water
runs out and the break heals over
white, the potatoes are ripe. If the
break heals over dark color the po-
tatoes are not ripe, and should not
be dug.
2. Is it necessary to harvest be-
fore frost kills the vines?
The food taken up by plants is di-
gested in the leaves and then passes
back into the plant to form new cells
and fruit. If frost kills the leaves
this frozen plant food goes back in
to the potatoes and causes them to
rot. Never let frost kill the vines
before harvesting. If it does, cut the
vines off at top of ground with hoe.
Potatoes dug after frost kills the vines
can not be kept satisfactorily, no
matter how well handled or how good
the storage house.
8. What method should be used in
harvesting sweet potatoes?
Potatoes should be harvested as
soon as ripe. Use rolling coulter
and cut the vines on each side of the
row, leaving ridge of about 10 inch
es. By cutting the vines and barring
off this way you cover most OF the
vines in the middle of the row. Take
a two horse-plow and plow the po-
tatoes out. Plow deep to avoid cut
ting and bruising the potatoes. Let
lie in row until soil dries on the po-
tatoes, then pick up and lay across
in the next row. Don't throw pota-
toes into piles or two or three rows
distant, for you will bruise them, and
No. potatoes must not be bruised
Handle like eggs.
4. What methods be used in ham
ling sweet potatoes?
A lug crate that will hold about
two bushels is a good thing to bring
the potatoes to the grading table in.
This should be lined with sacks to
prevent bruising the potatoes. Make
a grading table of the following dl-
mensions:
a legs 2"x4"x34"
2 sides 1"x3"X5
2 ends 1"x3"x2'8"
Fasten together and then stretch a
cotton sheet across the top and fasten
securely. Pour the potatoes on this
table and grade the potatoes putting
nothing but No. l potatoes in one
crate and all other potatoes in an
