Just as peas improye soil in sum mer so will crimson clover and oth er legumes increase the fertility of the soil in winter, besides making hay of superior quality. The fol lowing timely article upon planting crimson clover as a "winter cover <cr#p is from the last issue of the Pnogressive Farmer, of Raleigh: It ?J; generally known that most legumes do better on soils contain ing considerable lime, and some of them positively refuse to make satis factory growth' exeept on what are popularly called lime soils, It has ?ven been suggested that the fre ?q#ept failures with crimson clover ?are Ursel y due to a lack of lime in ^e.soiL This seems to us very i?fiaptrobable, for we hive seen splen did erops"sif it on the Coastal Plain sandy lands of North Carolina, where there is ierjtjwnly little lime, and also/m soils in Mississippi and .?&bama which are de&eiepi, jn par lh.Ofl$?e of lime- lt may be naore| ?easy pbtain the necessary ino?u-j j?tiop .onfene soils, but we believe ?ert?nson .cloyer may be successfully fgrospr? onalmQ&t ?any southern soil (that ? jsaJKoiently ?p$H drained to jgyow tihe .comm on props ;ap??gnot pfwitiyejly sour.

I heard cannons booming and1 small arms rattling over at Parksville. I knew that Gen. Green liad attacked Gen erals John Branson .and Bob Ed munds, commandera of ?that post. This battle lasted some time. Then Gen. Green sent a column down ?the road, crossing Turkey Greek at Keys bridge, and advancing further down attacked General Jopp T. Littlejohn, commander bf Red Hill. Gen. Green soon overran that of ficer and next moved on down the Martin Town road and attacked General Sam /Corley, where a stub born fight took plac. Gen.

Here a hand-to-hand fight took place, these officers being hard pressed. Gen. Gje?]} sent another column over Beaver Dam a^d attacked Gen. John DeLaughter, commande^ f?f Kimball heights.. That ?ld war horss fought valiantly, always with hat off in the thickens of thc fight, telling his men to hold their ground.

Ip sowing crimson clover for the first time it is advisable to obtain from 300 to 500 pounds of soil from a field that has recently grown red clover, white clover or crimson clo ver successfully, and we would pre fer it from the criniHon clover field. Scatter this sjcfll, while moist, even ly over ap acre and harrow it in at once. The objection to this meth od of inoculating the soil is the dan ger of introducing weeds and other Pfi?ta, If ttye gojl i;ap pot be ob tained, reduce the .area to one-half acre and obtain cultures for inocu lating the soil from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., or from some of the commercial houses advertis ing the material. After you have grown even one-half acre success fully, you have right'on your own farm all the soil you need for inoculating the remainder of the fai m.

In structive Address by Government Expert. It is very generally regretted by those who attended the good roads meeting Friday tfiat a greater num ber were not present to hear the most excellent address by Mr. D. H. Winslow, who, with Mr. C. W. Moorman, is making a tour of the state in the interest of good rpads, being sent out in automobiles by tj)e Columbia Repord. This pro gressive newspaper, whqs,e editor and manager is$r. James Ar ?foyt, will send its, representatives into evary county, advocating improve ment of the public highway?. This is a very praiseworthy undertaking, and one that will result in lasting good. The Record's experts are sow ing good roads seed along their route that will in time aid very ma terially in "leavening the whole Superviso? fl. J. Mpnltrje was, caliea to the chair, and he rei}ueste4 Mr. C. W, Moorman to state the purpose of the meeting, after which he introduced Mr.D. H. Winslow, a highway engineer, who is in the employment of the national govern ment. He is not a theorist but an en gineer pf f?f?6 ^!)4 y^r!^4 Practical experience. Mr. Winslow first spoke of the assistance that the government is now giving in, the matter of road im provement throughout ?the entire' country- lluiletins upon pyery phase and form of road building arc freing published ?ind distributed free. A testing department is maintained in which stone and other road build ing material is tested f?ee of cost. The government will furnish men to build a section of road in any county as an object lesson, usia? the eqtjnty rond-M.orking' f .rce. Actual pos.t of the buil'ding of the. piepe of road will be ap?urat?ly r?ept so a? to enable the ?ivUena of a county to estimate oost of road im? proveraent under loyal OPPIIUIOUH, The'speaker stated that tho north ern and ?orne -southern states- have' for sixteeen years been invoking goverri'raepp aid dong thri lin^ sugg??te.d'bVt tjiat Squill karolina h(\? been asleep anj? Jias pot asked, % li In the matter of direct appropria* tiou of money for road building, South Carolina would . be but little benefited. Mr. Winslow showed by actual figures that were national aid distributed on a basis of popip. lation o'rv total mileage this '^tat? would receive from only one to two per cent of a hundred million dollar appropriation. Pie said that a dis tribution of aid on basis of popula tion v;pijld t*e n}ani|?ai|y unjust cause t)ie sparsely settled rural dis tricts stand in greatest need of road improvement. Southern Congress men have been active in their efforts to secure direct appropriation but so far they have been, unsuccessful. During the last session of congress 18 good roads bills were introduced but all wer.e, killey. Mr. Winslow g?id the greatest problem in rpad building ip Edge field poupty is \]\e platter Qf grade, which makes road? expensive to maintain after being constructed. He said that tho velocity of the water that runs over a road, and not the volume, is what injures the road most. Steep grade increases tin* po?,t of tranfjpor'tatiyu tjeoause, it Unite tho hauling capacity, 'liesi'de^the increased cost bf drawing a loai up grade, the wear and tear upon vag ?n, harness and team is greater go.-, ing down hjH than when traveling on level road. In the construction pf bridges, Mr. Winslow advised short spans and broader abutments. T-iie ?atter. can be constructed, of s.tQpe, ?(|uiy ing no repairs, while the former must be repainted and repaired from time to. time. He favors a state high war com mission, whose duty would be the sending of consul ting onginors out in the counties to confer with the supervisors and lay out nev roads, etc. Mr. W?islow ^emphasised the importance of employing a Ugh way' engineer to plan bridges anl survey roads. An ordinary surveyor is hot equipped for this special \\qrk. He cited several instances ii which large sums bael been saye.l in road construction through, the employ ment of experienced road builders. He advised the buildii.g of con crete bridges instead of wood or iron. Railroads throughou; the coun ty have learned the vahe of con cr?te and are using it almost ex clusively. Abbeville coipty is sup planting old structure? with con crete bridges. Ho also 'advises the use of olay or metal pipes instead j of small wooden bridies. When E(Contiued on eighth page.)
