Hon. Augustus Ousley Stanley,
who has received the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor
of Kentucky, had no choice in
the selection of his birth-place.
But it was a mighty good place
all the same. It was the childhood
home of the editor of The
Advertiser, Shelbyville, Kentucky.
The father of Mr- Stan
ley was associate editor of the
Shelbyville Sentinel. nwne<l lw
the father of this editor. So
congratulations of the Advertiser
are extended most heartily to
^ Governor to-be Hon. A. O. Stanley.
LOOKING UP. NOT DOWN
This paper is an optimits and
would be glad to innoculate its
readers with that germ. We
look forward and not backward
and can see in our minds' eye
great prosperity for the South
and for South Carolina in particular.
This State's location on
\the sea coast, with shipping
facilities steadily increasing
with the completion of the Panama
Canal, its productive soil, its
varied agricultural resources all
unite in making a great future
for grand old South Carolina.
The advice to every citizen is
s to be an optimist and be a booster.
Proclaim the advantage,
the opportunities, the resources
of South Carolina in general and
of Chesterfield and Chesterfield
county in particular. Believe in
your own State, your own county
and your own town. There is a
scriptural injunction to the effect
that whatsoever you believe
you have them. There is ,vonderful
power in faith?faith in
yourself, faith in your own local
ity. But to quote scripture
again, ' Faith without work is
dead?" So get right down to
work. Work for the best interest
of your community and you
will be doubly rewarded in the
consciousness of having done
your duty and in the good results
that will follow.
Yes indeed we are an optimist,
?closely related to Mr.Opp, the
Kentucky editor, made immortal
by Mrs. Alice llegan Kice,
*1./% ? 1, 4- ~ "HI? !?' "
tuc uuiiiui ui iurs. w lggs OI
the Cabbage Patch" and several
other very optimistic books.
Mrs. Wiggs, it will be remembered
said she "put'all of her
troubles in a box and sat down
on the lid." That's what.
"Look up not down, look out
not in and lend a hand" and we
will go marching along to prosperity
and South Caroliua homes
will blossom as the rose.

TO BOOST THE FAIR
Chesterfield county has already
held three thoroughly successful
county fairs, the last one better
than the others. Preparation for
the coming Fair in November
are moving along smoothly and
there's 110 doubt but this one
will for eclipse its predecessors.
The committee in charge is
doing everything within its power
to insure success. Put too
i'iuvn uiuBu iiui ue jeit [O iup j
committee. They cannot do
. everything. For this Fair to
achieve the greatest usefulness
possible it must have the hearty
pupport und active co-operation
of the citizens of town and county
And right here is a suggestion
for Chesterfield's liberal, publicspirited
citizens to aid in a t^ery
i ffective way.
What do you say to a Booster
Trip throughout the county? Not
i ecessarily one, but one or more.
This method certainly is effective
in arousing interest and enthusiasm.
Even Oheraw might be effectively
invaded.
Enthusiasm is more contagious
than measles. Booster trips will
tpread contagion over every
rqnare foot in the county.
The expense involved in this
method of advertising is slight
and the prospective returns-enormous.
A little "pep" right now will
help w (inderfully.
Not Poll Fodder
The following excellent letter
was published in the current ipsue
ot the Progressive Farmer:
I will not pull fodder in 1915
for many reasons. 1 quit the
habit about six years ago. It
takes more time to harvest a
crop by pulling fodder, and I
find more fodder damaged by
fall rains where the fodder is
pulled and tops cut than where
the corn is cut at the ground and
properly shocked. Corn does not
mature as well after the fodder
is pulled and tops cut, so the
grain is not as heavy as when
cut at the ground.
Last fall we had continued
rain and some of my neighbors
said we would have to pull fodder
in order co save it, but 1
said the wet weather made it
more necessary to cut and shock
cue corn man u it nau ueen dry
weather. I let my corn stand |
until two-thirds to three-fourths
of the shucks were brown then
cut when the fodder was not wet
and shocked in medium-sized
shocks, and then let it stand for
six weeks or longer to ripen the
stover and [thoroughly dry the
corn. 1 had the best fodder in
the neighborhood, and one neighbor
came and swapped 6ome of
his corn for some of mine, as his
was chaffy and that I raised was
firm and made better meal, yet
we both planted the same kind
of seed.
Then by cutting the stover at
the ground we get the stalks oil'
the land, saving the extra stalk
cutting and also lessening the
temptation to burn stalks. I fed
my stover to cattle in stalls,
where they tramped the coarse
stalks into manure, the stalks
acting as an absorbent for the
liquid manure.
In the spring when I hauled
the manure from the stalls
(a habit I caught from reading
The Progressive Farmer) 1 found
the stalks completely rotten and
broken up so tine as not to be
cumbersome to handle or interfere
with the crops on the land
when applied to crimson clover
and rye.
The above" experience was
here all the harvesting was
done by hand labor. Of course |
whore machinery was used it I
makes it about ilnnhlv nrnfitahle I
tr? cut corn, rather than pull fodder.
I believe that there would be
uiuch less stalk burning if we
could got the farmers to realize
that each ton of stover ontains
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium,
worth not less than $5or.$f>,
And having it at home thus saving
the haul which "accompanies
commercial fertilizer, makes it
much more valuable, in my esti
mation. Besides the actual.plant
food it contains it adds humus
to the soil.
