Mallow, Ireland, June 17.?Countess Georgiana Markieviez, Sinn Fein leader and the only woman member! of the British Parliament, was sen-, tenced to four months' imprisonment today on charges growing out of disorders in Cork, May 17.

Branson, professor of rural economics and sociology of the University of North Carolina, in speaking of county government says in part: Th? least creditable institution in.) America today, the least efficient and most wasteful, the thing the avenge citizen knows least about, the matter most neglected by the colleges of the country, the Dark Continent of American politics, the Jungle of American Democracy, are some of the phrases in common use about County Government as commonly found in the 3,200 counties in the United States. County Government is without ideals. County officers serve with no Manuel of Duties, Responsibilities, and Procedures?except in a ban half-dozen states. It is a headless affair, uninformed, unregardless of law. County Government is without in the United States. The year be fore the World war negan re amounted to S85 million dollars, or about a third as much as the total expenses of the Federal Government. And yet the average citizen knows tittle or nothing county finances, kbout the tax list and the amaiang iniquities and delinquenees it discloses everywhere; about what county revenues are spent lor, and whether they are spent wisely or unwisely, effectively or Wastefully. A number of other cows in South Carolina are lenown to be making over 40 pounds of butterfat on official test but they are not in the Pioneer Association, the only one so for organized in this state.

Clemson College, June.?"The i most critical time in a pig's life isj past, says C. L. Morgan, Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry,! | "when he is weaned and is eating well. Feeding from then on is a j matter of making the best ration ' from the available feed." The age of weaning depends uponi whether or not two litters are to be raised per year. In no case should pigs be weaned under 8 weeks of I age; 10 to 12 weeks is better. Atj j weaning time the feed of the sow is; | reduced to slack the milk flow, and the rations of the pigs should be increased so that there will be little in- ' terruption in the growth of the pigs. The weaning should be abruptly and( under no circumstances should the sow be returned to the pigs. For the cheapest gains pigs should be an pasture at all times. Home^ pastures for summer grazing are alfalfa, clover, cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, Bermuda grass, rape and velvet beans. However, pastures should not be relied upon to make pork alone. PLANT SOYBEANS. <JIemson College, June 18.?Soybeans may be planted any time from early spring until mid-summer, says Prof. G. H. Collings, of the Agronomy Division. For a grain crop they should be planted early, but for a . hay, pasture, green-manure, or soil- : ing crop they may be planted as late as August 1st The choice of a variety must be made by the farmer himself. The South Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station found that Mammoth Yellow, Brown, Austin, Tarheel, Black, and HoUybrook gave the best results in the order named in the variety test of soybeans conducted at that station. The Mammoth yellow is considered one of the best varie-: ties for hay: The preparation of* the seed bed is the same as the pre-( paration of the seed bed for cotton.! However, a thoro preparation muat be emphasized, for by giving thei plants a good start a long step has' been made toward the successful pro-j duction of the crop. The plant reacts readily to fertilizers, especially to the application of phosphatic fertilizers. Some potassium can be applied profitably in the Coastal Plain, but nitrogen need not be applied either in the Piedmont Plateau or the Coastal Plain. Soybeans dhould always be planted NOTICE OF MEETING.

The seed should be planted just as cotton or corn. An ordinary corn planter can be used very successfully for this purpose. About 25 to 35 pounds of medium size seed should be planted per acre. In planting, however, the seed should not be planted deeper than two inches and under normal conditions not deeper than one and one-half inches. The cultivation should begin as soon as the young seed are abovei the ground. One deep cultivation is advised, but after that the cultivations; should be shallow.
