Which variety is best for me to lant?" is a question that will be in he minds of many farmers from now ntil spring and it is a very importnt question, because in the answer lay often lie a difference of several ushels to the acre in yield. It is : ard to say which varieties will give tie best yields in different regions in ; iouth Carolina, but each farmer can nd this out for himself this year, i ays the extension corn breeding ex- 1 ert of Clemson College, with very ; ttle extra expense. To make a variety test this year, a i armer should purchase a small quanity of seed of three or four of the ] i-called best varieties. He should 1 lant these seed side by side, under i niform conditions, and give each va- ] iety the same treatment. He can in lis manner determine for himself < rhich variety to plant to get the best : lelds. He sttbuld not, however, dis- < ard the variety now being grown ntil one is found to be better. A < ood local variety should always be 1 lcluded in the test, as it will act as check against seed brought in from ther regions. Seed brought from great distance will have to become cclimatized before it will give good esults, and for this reason seed ] lould bo bought from growers as ( ear home as possible. I /ORLD'S BIGGEST MAN 1 RESIDES IN ATLANTA Atlanta. Jan. 21.?The largest man le world has ever known, measuring feet tall and weighing in the neighorhood of 1,000 pounds, is walking le streets of Atlanta practically unoticed. and at times apparently out f a job. It is the big negro who was farm- 1 rly with one of the biggest circuses i the country, but who came here 3me months ago, dressed in a red niform in the employ of some local oncern. He attracted a great deal f attention at first, but since then as become a part of the landscape nd nobody ever notices him. It is aid, however, that he is the largest lan now living, and the largest one n record. The next largest, it is said, was !' liles Darden. a native of North Carlina, who died in Tennessee in 1K.">7. 1 le measured seven and a half feet all and weighed nearly 1,000 pounds One of the remarkable things about he giant here is that his body is in j ormal proportion. His hands are bout the size of hams, and his feet, re nearlv thirtv inches loner. NEW CHIEF CLERK. Columbia, Jan. 21.? J.

Bethea, lieutenant governor of South Carolina, returned from Europe today on the American liner New York. He was a member of the Ford peace party. "The time for neutral nations to move for peace has not yet arrived," Lieut. Gov. Bethea said on his arrival. i "In Germany the cry is for con- I servation of resources," he said. 1 "They say they have sufficient men < and means for military equipment. 1 [n England I found the cry was for ( men and proper equipment." The South Carolinian left the Ford ' party in Copenhagen and made his ( way into Germany, from there going , to Switzerland and thence to England. The ship docked, Mr. Bethea was 1 surrounded by reporters but he was ; somewhat reluctant to talk of his . experiences on the other side. Mr. Bethea was accompanied by ' ine other member of the peace con- j Lingent. ( He will leave for home tomorrow. ^ NOTICE. 1 ( The undersigned Receivers of Cal-i" loun Falls Company will entertain i offers for the purchase of farm lands i jf said Company, at or near Calhoun ', Falls in Abbeville County, in suchu parcels as may be suitable for farms.

Absolutely millions of dollars were saved and countless families lived better I than ever before in the face of the cotton crisis and gei.jral business depression. How were these burdensome store bills cut down? By the real money-saving power of good home gardens, rightly planted and kept planted and tended ! through the season. Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how to cut store bills down; tells about garden and farm seeds of kinds and a qual- ' ty that cannot be bought from your mer- j rhant or druggist.
