In the exquisite little frocks worn by Miss Roberta Brennan who plays the rolo "Gertrude Powell" in "St .Elmo" which comes to the Opera House next Saturday night, Feb. 12th this season's debutantes will see duplicates of some very fetching creations which >*111 grace New York drawing rooms this season. For several years the styles for young women have been more elegant than dainty. Satins, which have been the most popular fabrics for dinner apd dancing gowns, were any thing but youthful, and however clinging and supply the weave, it gave dignity rather than girlishness to the figure. This season, however, soft fa brics and simple styles, showing very little garniture^ are back in favor for debutantes. Miss Brennan's first act frock is of palpst gTeen silk mull inset elaborately with German Yal. lace. In design it shows a modification of Moyen Age dress, with the exaggerated wai6t line, softened by a deep Spanish tlbunco. The neck 's square, the sleeves come to the elbow, and with this frock she uses the most popular cembination in foot" wear, white silk stockings and black slippers with leather bows. ] Her second act front is an afternoon ; dress, suitable Tor wear at a tea or reception1 The fabric is white chiffon cloth over softest white messaline. The neck is "V"?shaped, but not very low, the sleeves are elbow length, and the almost severe simplicity of the frock is relieved ; by ahigh girdle of chiffon, encrusted with tiny gold beads, and coming to a decided point in the front. lANSON'S FAREWELL. Popular Pastor Head At First Babtist Church.?Many Went Forward to 1 Shake the Hand of the Departing Missionary. Spartanburg Journal. The night service at the First Babtist church vesterday was in the nature of a farewell to Rev. A. J. Sanson. He preached a sermon of exceding power. At theclose he spoke in a most tender and afTectlonate way or ms love ror Spartanburg and its people. Those present crowded to the platform to shake his hand and many tears were shed because of this going away of a man generally beloved. A substantial offering was handed Mr. Ranson. PRESENTED WITH $100. Rev. A. J. .Ranson. who resigned as pastor of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church to go to India as a missionary, was presented with $100 last Thursday afternoon, following the reception given in his honor at the Y. M. C. A. The donation was from the other churches in the city and was given as a token of the high esteem in which he is held by the several congregations in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Ranson will leave for New York within the next few days from which port they will sail for their far away home in India. The going away of Mr. and Mrs. Ranson is not only regretted by their hundreds of friends in this city, but by many people throughout this state and * North Carolina. LnrHlR.

TKa T>v*r\typiio^ivo Purmoi* oi?/l finnfliarn Farm Gazette.) By Tait Butler. Soils are formed by the weathering of rocks. That is, the effect of the weather ?air, moisture, frost, etc.,?upon rocks is , to break them up and dually pulverize1 them and make them into soil. The I weathering of the soil further tends to I areak up and pulverize the particles, and the smaller the soil particles, the more alant foods set free or made into condition ;'or the plants to use. Winter plowing adds to the weathing ; fleets of the winter freezes and raiu6 on ;he soil. Is this desirable? It is of itself, .vholly so: but there may follow results rVhich are undesirable. These undesirable results should always be kept in mind,but they are not so serious nor so dillicult to jvercome as to prevent the winter plowng of practically all ends not growing sinter crops. : OBJECTIONS TO WINTER PLOWING. In this Southern country probably the nost serious objection to winter plowing s that it increases the tendency to wash >f certain lands?those in the valleys that >verfiow, in which this overflow is accommnied by the formation of currents, and ;hose hill lands which lie in such manner is to cause certain areas to receive large juantities of water from other areas in iddition to that which falls directly upon hem. In many cases?in fact, in most :ases?ditching terracing and proper plow lltf Will I'UHWt tucw: ucicuio. Of course, there is a greater probablity >f finding the land being too wet for plowng in the winter than iu the fall; but vhile lands should never be plowed too vet, it remains a fact that the winter >lowing of lands when too wet does corn- | jaratively little harm because of the reezes and rains which follow and the ab- ( ?ence of a hot sun to cause the baking of >f the soil. Directly stated, the winter I )lowing of lands throws them up into such oose condition that the heavy rains of vinter have more opportunity to wash the >are, loose soil away and, even when this loes not occur, to leach out and waste the soluble and available nitrogen. These are real objections which we ihould strive to overcome because the >ther effects are so beneficial that we can lot afford to neglect winter plowing as an lid to better farming. SOME BENEFITS OF PLOWING EABLY. Some of the beneficial effects of winter jlowing may be brielly stated as follows: U1 grass, weeds, stalks, etc., which are on ;he land may be plowed under, where they ivill at least partially decay and improve ;he texture of the soil and help to feed the lext crop grown 011 the land. If not plowed under until spring, it may become necjssary to burn them in order to get the and in condition to plant. If the quantifies of these materials on the land be large ;hey can not be turned under late in the spring and the land gotten into satisfactory condition for planting. This leads to ;he burning of this much-needed humusforming material, or there results an improperly prepared seed bed. We have ihought we had to burn these materials because our small plows would not turn ;heru under but if we had plowed them mder as best we could in the fall ind winter, even with our small plows, hat part remaining uncovered could easiy have been managed by a spring plowing. Larger plows and winter turning are both leeded to handle the large quantites of jrass and weeds now 011 our fields, but .vinter plowiug alone will Jihelp us to save nost of them and do away with the need >f burning the very stuff our lands need nost. because of our small plows it may equire two breakings to work all this ma;erial into the soil, and to do this, the first >reaking should be done as soon as possKIa 0/\ oe f n rrfif fKo Q/l\'onfn rru nf thn nn' n ^ UIV OV ??3 W HIV VI ui?V lim;er weathering in pulverizing the soil and starting the decay of this trash. Another advantage derived from winter lowing is that the labor and teams are sjiven something to do in slack time, and setter still, this something done in the winter will aid in putting the land in coniition for seeding earlier next spring when ;here is a rush of work to be done. We frequently give as an excuse for insufficient preparation of the seed bed that the rush of work will not permit of giving the necessary time to more thoroughly jrepare the land. If more fall and winter plowing were done, the land could be easi5r prepared for the seed and the work would oe more easily and thoroughly done. Winter plowing also causes the lands to iry out and warm up earlier in the spring, ;hereby making earlier planting practi:able. WHEN DEEP PLOWING SHOULD BE DONE. Much is heard these days of the necessity for deeper plowing. There is no ques;ion but deeper and better plowing is need>'1 ' orti lis n**A 4-r\ V?a mofAviolUr J m nr/\tr_ JU 11 VUl OUUO aic IV uiui/Oiiaiij luijyiv*" ;d in fertility, but deep plowing is an expensive operation and unless done at the right time, may fail to yield results which tvill pay for the greater expense. The ;ime to do deep plowing is unquestionably in the fall and winter. There is more time ind other matters are not so pressing; lenee a better opportunity to do the work. \gain, when the plowing is to be done leeper than usual, it is of the greatest importance that the subsoil be dry. In the fall and early winter the subsoil is usually n ideal condition for breaking. Moreover f new soil is to be turned up, it should be done in the fall or early winter so that the 'rost and rain may break it up and give it weathering necessary to make live soil out sf it. There is still another reason why all deep plowing should be done in the fall ind winter: If done in the spring the land may not have had time to settle sufficiently before planting time and the dry weather which sometines comes in the spring may so dry out the loose soil that there is not sufficient moisture left to sprout the seeds. Winter plowing also destroys many of those insect pests which prey on the young plants, by exposing them to the winter weather. Probably the most important reason for winter plowing has purposely been left to the last. It is simply the "weathering effect of the winter frosts and rains on the soil particles. "Tillage is manure" when it causes locked up plant foods to be broken down and made soluble in the soil water. The air, the freezing and expansion of the moi6ture in the soil, and the rains are our greatest natural aids to the setting free of the plant foods in the soils. The finer the soil particles, the more readily these agencies can act on all parts of the soil, hence the advantage of winter plowing -which turns up to the weather the deep, dead soils that they may by nature's agencies be made to yield up their plant foods for the growing of crops. Let's get the "cover crop habit." Many negligent farmers still persist in erod ng these ancient Southern sandy loams that o all soils can least stand the winter rains wiuiuut imiuio? uuvui.?n. 1^. runt.

Buy Seed Corn in the Ear , There is only one way that the purchasei can be certain of getting good seed corn and that is to purchase from some one oi reliability as to the purity of the variety, and then require that the corn be sent him on the ear. Until the farmers of our territory learn this one simple lesson of requiring" the seed corn which they buy sent tc them on the ear, there will all ways becomnlaints of failure to obtain satisfactory com ho matter how careful the advertising managers of agriculturial papers may be In guarding them against fraudulent vendors. Most of the inferior seed corn is sent out through ignorance of what seed corn should be.
