Mete In America WO are blessed with pence, bul we arc- beginning to feel tin effects of the war In Europe. With Ihe struggle lo live already at a potril ?>i high pressure, the recent advance In prices has added hard ships thal must be lolt by all, and mote sharply hy the poorer people, lo whom Hie saving of every penny mellis KO mel hint;. Vet iii?' 'luestion arises, are we to suiTer for Ihe European war or will it he suffering Inflicted at the hands of oui nun people? The latter ls more than apt to be the case. Con ditions in Europe may they natu rally will if the war continues for an indeli'litc period tend to send prices of foo?] ifs higher, but there is no ??i cause for the prose ni rise in prices thal have already begun to be fell on .ill sides. Tho prices that prevail to-day on those articles that !ia\< ?one up" so suddenly are t ho work ol our own people, some of whom are willing, al any coal to I he populare, io add lo their stores of wealth. We are to-day paying flcti tioits prices for several articles, and we will be paying fictitious prices for every article that conos under tile head ol' a necessity to life If we do not as a nation have confidence In ourselves and consideration for those of our fellow men who must buy from day to day those things neces sary to sustain life. High prices are often the result of a "war scar?'." and there is no reason for BU ch a condi tion ii we have confidence In our government and the men at the head of it. We lia ve every reason to have vhis confidence to an unusual degree. The government Is doing ali it can to prevent the abnormal rise of prices, and ? we will but co-operat with the government in its efforts, many If not all ot' the hardships thal will follow ti general Inflation of prices can he avoided. We must stand together In an effort to combat this tendency to high prices. Wo eau lend great aid in this direction by a littl?> self-sacri fice and denial. Where the prices become inflated above a reasonable jtoint. sell-denial and refusal to buy ?mil anieles as aro ii n reasonably priced will do much to bring reac tion i>> putting these articles out of demand. The law of supply and de mand always ?lint rois legitimate [?rices, and where (iel it ions prices eu ler tu the hurl ?>f tho masses, u cur tailment of demand will inevitably restore conditions lo normal. Let us at least consider these things for our own good. We must 'if necessity boar our part of the mis fortunes of the uar in Europe. Every nation under the sun will feel tho ef fect? of it. and, human nature being pretty much the same the world over, every nation will feel the ef fects of tho "grasping" and "grind ing" that always follow in the wak?' of any unusual condition that enters to Interfere in 111<- commerce !><? tween nations. The effects of specu lation in snell times-fictitious causes lor advances In price are always greatei '.lian the really justifiable ad vances thai necessarily follow inter rupted coni'Moree.

Crimson clover Is rapidly Increas ing in popularity in all sections where it has been sown. In the At lantic coast region, and particularly throughout the Southern States, lt's increased use is remarkable, as il lias been found to improve the pro ductivity and mechanical condition of our soils to a wonderful extent. This has been particularly noticeable in the increased yields of corn and cotton following a crop of crimson clover. In addition to its great value as a soil improver, it is used very exten sively for fall, winter and spring grazing, to make the earliest and most nutritious green food, and also a good early bay crop, lt can be very satisfactorily grazed or cut for hay. and then the roots ami stubble turned under with considerable im provement to the land. The majority of our farmers, however, sow it and use it most largely as a soil-improv ing crop, and it is considered that a crop of crimson clover turned under ! is equal io a good application of sta ble manure, and is worth from $20 ; lo $.'50 per acre as a soil-Improver I alone. Crimson clover costs less la seed per acre 'ban any other similar j crop, and the tesults, in furnishing I inuch needed lumms and nitrogen to I the soil, are considered superior even 'lo cow peas, or anv oilier Known I j crop. Desi Methods of Seeding. Crimson clover is quite generally sow,; ..: thc last working ol' corn am', other cultivated crops. lt usually gives excellent results sown at the last working ot' corn throughout the I Piedmont districts and more north erly sections, and also in the late planted corn throughout the South. Tho sowing ol' crimson clover at the last working of cultivated crops gives an ideal preparation. In fact, it is surer to get a stand in this way than if i be land is fleshly plowed ami freshly prepared, as freshly plowed land is usually too porous, causing the seed to be covered too deeply, and not giving the little plant sufficient root-bold after it does start. A good linn seed bed is of prime importance in securing a good stand. When crimson clover is sown by itself, tue best method of preparation is \'. plow the. land thoroughly and then harrow and cross-barrow seve ral times, so as to give a good, Brm seed bed. As soon after a rain as the land is dry enough, a light barrow should \ \ bc run over the soil in order to break the crust, and then sow the clover seed, cove. i x afterwards with a light brus/, or harrow. If this plan is followed out, it will almosL invariably secure a good stand and a good crop of crimson clover, no matter what the weather may be alie rwards. Crimson Clover is usually sown at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds to the i I acre during .Inly, August or Septem ber. Don't Ile Itotfliered With Coughing.
