A Tragedy Repeats Itself.
A Father Sees His Boy Drown in
The Same Spot where Three
Sens Were Drowned Before.
Special to The Observer.
| Wilmington, May 10. ? A few
years ago Darkless Orron, of
Brunswick county, lost three
children by drowning within a few
yards of Nurassa factory, four
miles from Wilmington at. the
mouth of a creek, which enters the
river at that paint- He was in u
boat with his children at the time
of the accident and miraculously
escaped himself. Today at about
the same spot he and hia son,
Darry, aged about lit years, were
in a boat, which capsized and the
young man was drowned. The
father again barely escaped.
Bolter for Enriching the Soil
Than Pens.
The Augusta Chronicle reports
that Mr. II. M. Dibble, of Aiken,
iS. C., is putting down 75 acres
jthihj'ear to velvet beans. This
! is mostly for the emichmeut of
the soil. Mr. Dibble does not
belico that there is at haud any
moans as productive for soil enrichment
as the velvet btau. Ho
broadcasts the beans, one bushel
to the acre. It may be, however,
that by careful planting, possibly
I as good a result can be had at a
I considerable lessening of seed
cost.
Mr. Dibble, however, likes the
velvet beans fully as well us eurod
hay as a soil en richer. Last year
he made some experiments with
velvet beans and cowpeas. He
planted them contiguously ami intended
to put in oOO pounds in
fertilizers. By mistake 1,000 got
vcr on the cowpoas side and only
500 on the velvat beans, yet notwithstanding
this, he said that the
result showed that his velvet
beans, acre for acre, made twice
as much bay as did his cowpeas.
He cut these in August. Of course
..y allowing mem to remain longer,
bo might have made more hay,
hut probably the hay would not
have been as good.
Mr. Dibble had trouble with
[cutting hie velvet beans, as docs
every one olse. He dually found
the attaching of a cutting blado to
the end of a mowing bar, an easy
Method. His experience, which
1* the experience of others, is that
eattle at first are not fond of the
hay, but they soon leara to eat it
and become greedy over it. Ho
is feeding today, aa hay, hi*# last
year's velvet bean crop.
