How and When to Sow Wheat. Clemson College, Sept 15, 11?00. Mr. Chu* Potty, Spartanburg, S C? Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of ttie 11th in regard to ihe j preparation of the land and sow? ing wheat in the Piedmont section of this State, 1 submit the follow ing suggestions: (at Wheat delighta in a comparatively fitiIT soil, or one containing enough clay to give it the proper consistency. If this soil is tilled with small gravel the drainage will be good. Tins in very important to prevent freezing out in winter. The land should be ploughed, harrowed and rolled until the sur-1 face is thoroughly pulverized before sowing the seed. Not one acre in a thousand is properly prepared for wheat. If there is a clay Rtihsoil it will pay to follow in the turn plough furrow in breaking with a long hull tongue to break the subsoil without turn. ing it up. (t>> Time for deeding: The seed : should be sown just before or just after the first frost. If sown early there is risk of injury from the attack of the He*siao lly in the faM, and of destruction by frost in spring if it joints too early. If sown too late the risk of winter killing is increased, and ripening late increases the risk of rust, hJimt Mint bleaching. Wheat should ripen he fore excessive heat prevail*. (< ) Varieties: An a rule varie* ties which have Keen acclimated in this section in which they are to he planted are more likely to succeed than those grown under entirely different soil and climatic , conditions. Varieties known as Alabama, Red May, Georgia flint, Blue stem or Purple straw. -The i sec I, to prevent the attack of stinking smut, should be either scalded or treated with blue stone. (One pound disolved in wntor will treat five bushels.) Care in the I use of the blue stone is necesstuy i to prevent injury to the <jerm of i the seed. (d"> Depth to Cover Seed: [Experiments have shown that wheat ' does not ve<*itate satisfactorily :f colored more than three inches in ; i depth. If the seed are put in with j a turn plough nmny are covered' deeper than this and consequently! a full stand is not secured. On the contrary, where the wheat J drill is used upon properly prepared land, the seed are covered uniformly at a depth less than two 1 inches, and hence less seed are required to secure a atand. (e? Fertilizing: If a luguminous crop (nitrogen coliecting) precedes the wheat it ia not necessary to apply a fertilizer containing nitro gen or ammonia Upon clay lands upon which the forest growth was of hard wood trees acid phosphate will usually he sufficient. If excessive quantities of nitrnnnnmiD - - ' ... w^vii\'\iq iuivuuiun lu t? tlSPtl i there is danger of too much growth of straw, causing risk of rust and lodging. Caution: If cotton seed meal in one of the component parts of r comp'ete fertilizer applied to wheat, or if it is used as such, , care must he exercised to prevent it from coming in contact with 1 the grain. Stands of grain are < often lost l?v neglecting this pre ( caution. The cotton seed meal ferments very promptly and actively and destroys the germ of the seed. Very truly yours, .1 S Newman.

Two Young Men About to Marry and Two Unde* Taken Away. Mmj Pargan's Funeral. Special to The State. Darlington, Sept 20?The funeral services of the late Muj Robt L Dargan took place at the Presbyterian church this uiornine and the interment was at Grove nill cemetery, both being attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friend* of the departed young lawyer. The untimely death of Maj Dargun is made doubly sad by the fact that death preceded the appointed time for his marriage by just n little leas than ii4 hours. A peculiar coincidence was in the recent death of Mr. .John I) Baird, who, had he lived, would have been married in a ihort time. The death of Maj Dargan is the eventh that has occurred among the young people of Darlington during the past month, all of them being prominent in matters religious and social. Within two months two young brides and two prospective bridegrooms have been removed from earthly scenes ? Mrs K C Lide and Mrs (? C ' Johnson, neither of whom had been married two months at the time of deuth: and the two young janupinfii above mentioned. Dtliur deaths iiinntiir the voun^ 1 people of the town this summer have been: Mrs 10 () Woods, Mr. ? Marten V Lido and Miss Daisy Welling, a!' peculiarly sad.
