CRIMSON CLOVER.
Timely Article Upon Planting
Crimson Clover as Winter
Cover Crop. Lay Your
'." Plans.
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

where there is ierjtjwnly little lime,

One of the chief obstacles to jtfce
extensive growth of crimson clover
ji*?be uncertainty of getting a stand

grapftog jth? soil is inoculated, is
proi>a$y^c^4ff? to the dry weath

GEN. GREEN'S CAMPAIGN.
"Uncle Tad" Vividly Describes

Mr, Editor: On July 1st. I heard
cannons booming and1 small arms
rattling over at Parksville. I knew
that Gen. Green liad attacked Gen

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

down pnc^up/iired Generals Charles

took place, these officers being hard

Gen. Gje?]} sent another column
over Beaver Dam a^d attacked Gen.

land.
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.
Crimson clover as a winter covet
for cottoi] lands and as a gatherei
of nitrogen ffl? enriching the soil,
at a time of tl)c year wheji our sta

Make the conditions right on s

GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Conducted by Columbia Rec
ord's Good Roads Party. 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
