Since thc writer's boyhood days he I has heard much of ibis fancied or j real danger of "souring" land by ( plowing under legumes; but he ha* never seen much of it lt seems to be one of ?hose things about which we hear much ind see little. We slticerelj wish every farmer In the South might have to run the risk of "souring" his land bj plowing under legumes at all seasons of the year, We fancy there is little "sour" land , in the South from this cause and vcr. little "sour" or otherwise that has over been injured by this sort of t real men 1. We have "sour" soils In the South, bul much more of this land is "sour" because of Insufficient drainage, long, ( lean cultivation and a low lime con- ; tent than because of the plowing un- j der of legume crops, ll is also true that peaty soils are frequently "sou: '' from the decay, or partial decay, of ! an excess of vegetable matter: but j the fear of makin-; our worn soils I "sour" by turning under legumes should be banished as one of the pop ular errors which sometimes prevent tin" land receiving that which it needs j most to increase Its fertility. ll ls possible that the plowing un der of a heavy crop of legumes, when ' the weather is hoi and moist, might cause such rapid decay of tho vege table matter as tn "sour" the soil. , but even this ls much more likely to 1 he heard about than actually seen. On most of eur depleted soils there ; is only om- time we would hesitate to plow under 11 crop of legumes, how ever heavy the crop might be. In dry weather, when the plowing under of the legumes is to be immediately followed bj > ' .. il i 11 L; to another crop, the large amount of vegetable matter plowed hu der may cause the soil to become too open and to dry out so Hinch that the proper supply of mois ture might not remain to supply the needs of the growing crop. Since most of our soils are defi cient in calcium carbonate (limo), it is possible, If we ever plow under enough legumes to supply the needed humus md nitrogen, we may need to apply lim" to "sweeten" our soils, but sim-e this is needed already in order to grow legumes to the best advant age, we advise our reader to plow under .ill the legumes practicable without fear of "souring" the land. As to when this should he done, we are of the opinion that it makes lit tle d'f^rcr'-e, except ill the case noted above; bul it is perhaps always best to allow the legume crop to reach maturity that more vegetable mailer may be plowed under Spring I Mood and System Cleanser.

Secretary McAdoo himself said it would he indelicate for him to com ment on the subject one way or the other. Nevertheless, offleial Wash ington is taking it as a definite fact that another wedding at the White House will be solemnized in lune af ter the adjournment of Congress. Many persons who know secretary McAdoo were not surprised at Hie re port because he has been a frequent social visitor at the White House du ring the last year.

Hartsville, March ll.-A large el ephant which escaped from a circus train, said to "have been wrecked to day on tho Seaboard, near Patrick, was killed to-night in the Hall's Mill neighborhood, six miles out, by a large party of men. lt ls said to have been a very large elephant by those present at tho killing. It was shot Into repeatedly and chopped into with axes and finally weakened and killed. lt caused quito a stir in the sparsely settled portion of Chesterlleld and , Darlington counties through which it . traveled. Many wild reports wore circulated in Hartsville to-night about damage it bad done. Tho military company was asked for, and while it did not go, ol' course, many men went from here and some wore ?it the killing. lt is a great pity that it was not watched and followed until a koopet . could arrive on the scene, for from all reports lt does not appear to have , attempted any violence to the party in pursuit.

Director Wm. .1. Harris, of the Bu reau of thc Census, Department of Commerce, announces a (dianne In the method of publishing the statis tics of cotton. The annual reports on the quantity of colton ginned have heretofore in cluded the quantity of linters ob tained by the oil mills. Formerly there was only a comparatively small quantity of linters obtained, and they ..v-cro of such a grade as could be used to some extent, for the same pun.oses as were the lower grades of colton. Many of the oil mills have now Installed machinery for the closer dellnting of the cotton seed. This has resulted in a large increase in the total quantity of linters pro duced each year, at the same time lowering the average quality of the fiber, so that now only a small part, -THE= Most Profitable Fertilizer to Be Used Is : for red lands, 8-3-3-9-3-3-10-3-3; for gray lands, 8-4-4?-IO-4-4. Yon get more for your money in these analyses than in the lower grades. The freight incoming and outgoing, labor account and general expenses, is just as much on a ton of10-2-2 as it is on a ton of 10-4-4- The difference in the cost of the goods is the difference in the cost of the extra material in the 10-4-4 and then you get Fish in these high grade goods, and tish lasts longer in the soil than any other ammoniate going into Fertilizer. The longer your fertilizer lasts the longer your crops will Keep growing. The longer you Keep your crop green and growing the better crops you will make. The difference in cost per acre is very little, say One Dollar an Acre; the difference in the yield of cotton is much more than that. The high grade goods are the economical goods to buy The Anderson Phosphate (EL Oil Company goods are the goods to buy. They use the very best of material and use plenty of it. Buy Goods Made by Anderson Phosphate & Oil Co., Anderson, S. C. The Price is the Same and the Goods are Better ! if any, is used ns a substitute for lint cotton. It, therefore, appears advisable not to include the quantity of linters in the total production of cotton for the crop, and accordingly, the totals March 20th will relate only to lint cotton and will not .include linters. Information as to the production of linters, however, will be given in a footnote so that comparative figures may be computed on the basis of tho in the annual report to be issued on reports issued in previous years.
