PRUNE WELL DURING
THE WINTER SEASON
S3
Clemson College, Feb. 8.?Many ft
letters are coming to the horticul- \'Z
tural workers at Clemson College !;j;
from people who ask whether it is
better to prune peach trees to thin !;j!
the fruit, or to give the trees but a l|j!
light pruning at this season and thin I j;j!
the fruit by hand-picking next sum- , ?
mer. They are advised that in every
instance it will be found better to
give the trees a good pruning each $
winter. This will not only do away ;j>
with the necessity for hand-picking j!j;
during the summer, but it will also j||;
stimulate the trees and cause them to
put on a better crop of fruit buds J;i;
for the next season. j;J;
UooifViv npaph trees alwavs nut on R
more fruit buds than they can sup- ft
port, provided they all set fruit. ',2
There is no better way of thinning ',Z
these trees than by correct winter
pruning. Moreover, there is no little !;<
labor attached to hand-pruning in
summer and a man saves much by !;?
avoiding the necessity of it except
in the few cases where it is absolutely
necessary. j!;j
WHAT IMPLEMENTS g
COST THE FARMER V
Clemson College, Feb. 6.? Many v
facts which will be interesting to >1;
South Carolina farmers were deter- >!;
mined by the federal department of ?
agriculture in a recent study of farm ?
machinery costs. Among the more
striking facts are the following: |j
"Machines make money for you {?j
when they are in use; they cost ycu | ^
money when they stand idle. v>
"A machine makes the greatest
possible profit for its owner when it
is used contiuously in profitable
work till it is worn out. Then it is v
really worn out?it does not rot or v
rust out. v
"The average farm implement is ?z
only about half worn out by use ft
alone. The rest of the wear is due $
to rust and decay.
"Acres count in the life of a machine?not
years."
It was found that the cost per acre
covered is the real measure of the ?
value of the service given by an im- gg
plement and that, on the average, the
more acres covered per year, the I
""' o to thp owner. H
FROM MR. HOLLINGSWORTH.
Abbeville, S. C., Feby. 10, 1916.
Editor Press and Banner:?
Dear Sir:?Please publish the following
information for which I am
indebted to Mr. J. W. Martin of Donalds,
S. C., and oblige.
"In my recollections of fifty years
ago, in last weeks issue of the Press
and Banner, I mentioned the Connor
slaves as being the only instance in
which I ever heard of a person having
the death sentence imposed by
a Magistrate. In July 1854 three
slaves, the property of Larkin Barmore,
were tried before Mr. G. M.
Mattison, with . a jury of six freeholders,
then a trial justice at Donaldsville,
S. C., for the murder of
one Jessie Maddox, an overseer for I
Mr. Barmore. One of the trio was
sentenced to receive five hundred
lashes, fifty each week for ten
weeks, in addition to being banished I
from the State ,and his owner was n
reauested to dispose of him upon the |
condition imposed. The other two ~=were
given a sentence of death, and ?
later executed one and a half miles ?
east of Donalds, Sept. 1854, near
where the body of Mr. Maddox was a
found. Mr. Martin, together with x
Major Nance, were among the num- f
ber witnessing the execution. f
Thanks to Mr. Martin for this in- ^
formation. 5
The general impression that the J
last meeting of the Confederate Cabi- f
net took place at the residence of '
Mr. J. S. Stark must be an error, i
as stated by Mr. Benet in his coirmu- i
nication in your last issue. In a re- \
cent conversation upon the subject J
with Capt. J. L. Perrin, he stated r
that his grandfather, the Hon. T. C. r
Pen-in, once told him the meeting $
was held at his residence, thereby J
??Mr Rnrfc's statement \
t'Ul i uucic;uii5 *?*?. ? ?
to Mr. Benet. This error can eas- '
ily be understood when it is known ^
that President Davis spent that event- ^
ful uijrht with Mr. Burt, while other 4
members of his Cabinet domiciled ^
with Mr. Perrin. We hope to hear A
more from Mr. Benet. X
