Some Editorial Farming. The remunerative power o J lani is simply wonderful. By s process of alternating crops and taking care of the weak places evcn the most worn out lands may be rapidly brought up. For instance in the northern part of town about four years ago there was a field of 12 acres almost too poor to sprout peas and so bady washed that there were many places in the field where y o u could not drive a wagon across. By small amount of terracing and filling up some of the worst wash ed places and then sowing i n grain and peas and later allowing it to lay out for a year, that same field for years known as the old red field, has just recently been put in grain, and, though .&ways heretofore greatly dreaded' be cause the ground was so bard on stcek, there was so much vegeta ble matter on the land that it greatly interfered w i t h t hrie ploughing, and the soil was good mellow. 'That whole field now has scarcely a wash in it and presents the appearance for the most pai t of being a piece of land that has been well cared for. Unless you really knew its con dition a few years ago, you would never think of it as having been so nearly gone at any time.. From an agricultural standpoint, this laud is worth at least d~ouble what it was when it changed hands four years ago. The im provement in the land along woild have made it a good in vesAment. Just. through t h i s gradual process of improvement this.- hitherto washed field has been put in such shape as t-o rake it a vailable for town 'lots. It is a part of Fortune P a r k Eleights and some of fthe most desirable lots in the 'aineIs right where were some of the worst of these wa.hes. Editorial farming, has prev.. such i good thing for this old red field Jht we do not know bdt- iwo7l&- be- a right good thing for it to be tried, on soine other fields that are now going so rapidly to waste and" that with a little attention could soon be reclaim.,d. Really we are not very much ashamed of this little experiment that'has been carried on under very great disadvantages. We are rather proud of having made such a change that washouts and gullies are now available for agricultural purposes or for town lots. But even now ths field lacks a good deal of beifg whit. it was less than'a quarter of 'a century ago, when it is said that it made the finest yield. of wheat ever Smade "in the~. coud?ty. yIt took conly a'fewlyears hof-'renting to let it go so completely to pieces as Lit was. f,our years ago. It will take s mi time yet to fully restore itLto'i - former productivity. The 51m'rihis first not to let land be v slje.airray, which is one of the' *ecessaiy attendant evils of'rent ing. Second, if you have a piece of land that: has been .permitted to be washed, go about it at once to reclaim it. The f.est dividends 'to a farmer are those that, come from the improvement of h i s lands. New Cure of Epilepsy. JB.

Here is *one that has the merit of help * fulness, as provem by actual ex *peri.ence in other towns. For many years Winnsboro has been run on the yearly basis. It is time to get it down to the monthly * basis. The mnerch int who holds 'his bill back till t ie end of the *year does his customer a gross injustice. The custome.r who *does not arrange his accounts at *the end of the month is' taking *from his merchant a part of the g profits that belong to him. It would be better for the merchant if he would send his customer at *the end of the month a statement *of his account. It would be bet. *ter for the customer too, as it *would help him to know where * he is at. All the larger houses *practice. this rule strictly o I sending~ all 'customers statements Uof what is-due at thet end of the *month. The merchants in small er town can well follow t h i Sexample of the wholesale a na 1larger business houses. It is *matter of fact that there a r merchants in Winnsboro, wh< *Erarely ever render a statemen till the end of the year and there is no wonder that. they have rather a tight time of makingl their collections. While they might not always collect all that is due them, the chances a r e ninety-nine to one that t h e y would collect more by making monthly collections. It is no reflections upon a man't credit to make him a statement of what is due. It his credit is good, he will in all probabilty take it as a kindness, as he can better maintain his credit by keeping up with his expenses. A few years ago one of Winns boro's most successful busines :men adopted the practice of ren dering a statement at the end of each month to every person on his books, whether their accounts were secured or whether they were just open accounts. This was good and there should be others to follow his good example. It may require just a little larger force to. do business on t h i s strictly business basis, but the gains that will accrue will more than justify the additional cost. It will be a decided step in get ting the business of the town on a .cash basis. N) merchat has anything to lose by doing busi ness on a business basis. N o customer will suffer from knowing swhom he owes and how much. It will prove a blesing to the whole community to change from the yearly to the monthly basis. Begin with.1907.
