ANOTHER LIVE STOCK MIO KT I NO. Sewsion to Ile Held at Seneca Thurs day, April 2J*d (To-morrow). There will be a meeting of the Live Stock Association at Seneca to morrow (Thursday) April 23. at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of In creasing the membership of the asso ciation and waking up additional in tel est. Clemson College and the Depart ment of Agriculture at Washington will have their representatives at this meeting to address the farmers on the Importance of improving the live stock of South Carolina. More and better live stock ls badly needed in our county, and we most earnestly ask every farmer (and any one else Interested in this work) to be pres-, eut. If you have registered hogs, registered cattle, sheep or stock of any kind, or if you are contemplat ing raising mules and horses, yon should be sure to be on hand. We give you some facts and fig ures which are approximately cor rect: In Oconee county for the last twelve months there were 2,000 hoad of beef cattle marketed, averaging four years old, weighing 700 pounds -1,4 00,000 pounds, at 4c. per pound -$50,000. If we had had 2, 000 cattle two years' old, of good beef type, they would have easily av eraged 1,160 pounds, making 2,300, 000 pounds, at 6V?c. per pound $149,500. This would be a saving of $93,500. You will notice that these cattle are only two years old, the others are four years old; there fore, you can double the amount of net gain. While we were selling this one crop we could have sold two crops and had $1X7,000 In circula tion or tn the banks of Oconee county. Especial attention will be given all branches of live stock Interest. Remember the meeting, Thursday, April L'I'.d. at 2 o'clock p. m.. at Seneca. Yours very truly. J. P. Stripling, President. K. \V. Marett, Sec. and Treas. W. T. Watt, Live Stock Dem onstrator, Clemson College. OCONEE LA OY WAS INJURED. Miss Cordelia Reardon, ol Westmin ster Suffered in Due West Accident*.

Insure Now Against Leaching and Shedding It is a wild extravagance to buy fertilizers containing mineral ammoniates for a long- growing crop like cotton and corn if there is the slightest possibility of a wet spring or summer. They are not retained in the soil, so that the rains leach them out and the crop is cheated out of its most essential element of plant food. The safest and best preventive against leaching is the MORRIS BRANDS. They are ammoniated solely and entirely with high grade packing house tankage and blood and are so guaranteed on every bag. As one of our customers says of them: As for shed ding, your gooda prevent it; aa they do their beat work after the nitrogen in other fertilizers has gone, *' The difference in cost is so little, and the difference in yield so g-eat that the rich only can afford NOT to use them. The MORRIS RANDS are conceded by al! who have used them to be the cheap est fertilizers on the market. You can exercise true economy only by insisting on getting them regardless of price.
