As the South generally Knows, the Sons of Confederate Vet erans is a separate organization from their talliers, the Veterans. Tho Sons meet this year, as usual, oil the] kinnie date .lune I to 7 as the Veterans. While the citizens of Washington plan tl great reception to the Veterans, the local Sons plan an even greater reception to members and friends ot the Sons' organisa tion. Tho Sons' organization is a splen did body of representative descend ants of the Confederacy, now hun dreds of thousands strong. Histo rians, ^talesmen, Congressmen, load ing scientists, educators, many men ivho served til?' United States in inc war with Spain, and men of affairs generally, are behind the Sons' or ganization. Much valuable work ls being done in tho interest of the South's story of tho causes of seces sion and tho war which followed. Due to its location ai tile Capital, where ii draws front thc whole South, the local Washington c.?inp ol' Sons has a very largo number ol' tho most representative men. Th eso men have perfected plans to give the sons a deserved prominence at the reunion, without detracting from tho Veterans, nover before reached by the Sons' organization. These men .have opened headquarters at room 110, the Raleigh Motel, Washington, I). C.,. under the management of Major E. W. lt. Ewing, chairman of the Sons' reunion committee. All inquiries by the Sons or their friends and the Sons' official women, to avoid confusion with the work being done by the Veterans' organization, .should he sent to Chairman Ewing, at the Haleigh Hotel, Washington. \A?t all Sons and their friends re member that during the reunion tho Veterans' headquarters will be at a hotel different from the Sons.

This article i? hy Cl. M. Harnett. County Agoni of Oconce County.) No farm is completo without a home orchard and garden. Nothing adds more to the financial returns of Ibo tann than a well kept home Di ehard, while a neg lee. ted one general ly isn't worth standing room. There is more value derived from tho or chard and garden than can be shown on the farm lodger, especially v'hon we consider tho health and happi ness of the family. The adage, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," I believe is equally true with other fruits and vegetables. An Ideal Home Orchard and garden is ono t li ri t will furnish fresh fruits and vegetables for as long a season as possible, and a surplus io can for winier use. By planting summer fruits and winter varieties of apples you can have fresh apples nour twelve months in tho year. By proper selection of varieties you can gather peaches ?>IT thu trees from May to September, liven the small est farm can well afford one acre for orchard, consisting of 12 apple trees, 25 peach, ti pear, 12 plum, ti cherries, I scuppornong, and 2."> bunch grapes. In planting au orchard, the loca tion, proper distance lo plant, age of trees, and varieties, should be care fully considered. Tito age of a tree when planted determines, to a great extent, the future growth and proper shape Of Un' tree. An old tree that has been allowed to stay in the nur sery row and become stunted is a very poor.tree to plant, although it is the opinion of some men that the older the tree the more they are get ting for tiller money. Old Trees. The attention the old trees get in the next lew w>mks (now February 6th) will determine to" a groat ex lent their capacity to produce fruit this year. Too many failures are credited to the season and n ee, when tho real faull is willi the man in car inn for his trees. One horticulturist .-ays. "When it comes to home or c ha rds, I know ol' nothing else grow ing on the old earth that is left to soho its own problems and care for itself as lt is. When 1 see the old, faithful, neglected fruit tree lighting hard against starvation, fungus and insect enemies, top denso with water sprouts, broken and cankered limbs, I wonder what criticism the farmer has for the tree." The efficiency of such trees can, by the use of sharp saw, pruning shears,, sp ri y pump and a little manure, be increased a hun dred per cent. A good barrel spray purni? costing from $8 to $20 seems to be the big gest thing in tho path of the home orchard, hut without it, 1 believe, it is useless to plain an orchard. Thc use of one is absolutely necessary in controlling scale on trees and fruit, coddling moth (apple worm), curcu lio (peach worm) scab, and rot, and may be used to advantage in control ling pola bugs and rod spider on cot ton. Where farmers live close to gether it is sometimes practical foi two or three to use the same pump, Why Every Farmer Should Have n Home Garden. Every farmer and family must have food, and it is up to him to supply it; and of all the helpers, a good home garden is the best belper. Although tho South is naturally a vegetable growing section it seems to be a toe common opinion, especially among reuters and cotton farmers in debt that they have no timo to devote lc the garden- HOI realizing that finan dal success depends on what ls loft after debts are paid.

Tho Disappearing- Fines. Clemson College, March 20.-As | each day goes by our supply of pine timber grows less. Throughout the i fall and winter months farmers and ! td hers are busy cutting the small ! trees and selling (bein for wood. Al ready there is more land cleared than,is handled properly, and to cul off the young growth of pines means that (hero ls just that much more land exposed and allowed to heroine badly washed, and soon unfit for cul tivation. Th is is especially true of our steep hillisdes, which ought to be kept timbered in order to check the washing and formation of gul lies. One does not have to look far lo see many hillsides of timber, and small and large gullies growing each day larger and larger. These steep hillsides should never be cleared. Our timber should by all means he preserved, and our work put on (denred lauris to improve them, and not on new land, which after a few years will likely be abandoned and I allowed to become so badly washed as to be very poor farm land. There, is very little thought given as to how the barns and other build ings arc to be repaired In the future. Our small pines should be guarded with Jealous care, and everything possible done to preserve^ them. I There ls a constant, demand on the I farm for material for repairs, and to cut off all our timber means that we shall have to purchase lumber for the necessary repairs. Every far mer, who -has a grove of pines on bis farm should be careful to take good care of them, cutting them onlv as needed on the farm, and usine; only the dead trees and Inferior ones for wood. A farm with some timber on it is more valuable than one which has been stripped of every thing in the way of woods. Ketti rn lioeol News.

COU rUHDKTS LOAN TUN MILLIONS. That Total Will lie lleachcd in Year by Columbia I/and Hank. I Columbia, March 27.-F. J. II. von Kngelken, president of the Columbia Federal Land Hank, has returned from Washington, where he attended a conference of the presidents of the twelve Federal land hanks, with Secretary of the Treasury MoAdoo and the members of the Federal Farm Loan Hoard. Mr. von Fm gel ken expressed grati fication over the tact that this con ference had lixed a Hat rate of f? per cent, applying to all parts of the United Stales. He declared that this interest would prove a great hoon to the farmers of the Southeastern States, and predicted that within a year the Columbia Federal Hand Hank will have made loans aggregat : lng $10,000.000. Mr. von hhigelken also announced that the conference of bank presi dents passed a resolution requesting - Congress to increase the limit of tho f loans permitted to an andlvldual bor 1 rower from $10,000 to $2f>,000. He expressed thc hope that the special [ session of Congress, soon to convene, 'would make this change for the large borrowers of tho Columbia bank 'dis trict. In order that more funds may bc available for investment in farm loan bonds and in turn made avail aide to lend to farmers of this dls . trlct, Mr. von Fngolken urged the Legislatures of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida immediately to pass laws making farm loan bonds approved Invest ments for trust funds, insurance . companies and savings banks. Mr. von Kngelkon announced that the bonds issued by the twelve Fed i eral land banks 'would be placed on ? the market at 4 V4 per cent, but would probably be sold at a pre I tulum. He expressed gratification I over tho fact that the Federal Farm i Loan Hoard baa anticipated that at ' least $100,000,000 of these bonds i will be issued during the coming . year, and is making arrangements 1 which will assure a ready market for - thom. All of this money will he I made available to the farmers of the ? United States at 5 per cent. I To borrow from these Federal land banks farmers are required to or ganize themselves into groups con taining ?it. least ton farmer borrowers and each group asking for at least $20,000 of loans. The Columbia Federal Land Hank Ls now prepared to furnish a blank form of articles of association to make the organization of these groups simple and easy. Other necessary blanks will also he 1 furnished on application. Farmers are permitted to borrow up td r>0 per cent of the appraised value ol' their land, plus 20 per cent of the value of tho permanent in sured improvements. Loans are to be made at G per cent and must be red ired on the amortization plan, , which means repayment hy fixed an nual 'payments throughout the period of the loan. The loans may run ?rom five to forty years at tho option ? of the borrower. The object ol' these long time loans is to enable the far mer to meet these small annual pay ments out of the increased earnings of the land, made possible by the in vestment of the borrowed money. This new banking system is purely ' co-operative, lt is for tho solo use ol' farmers and prospective farmers. Farmers will eventually own all of the stock of the Federal land hanks . and they will elect the Officers ol' . these banks. There ls no opportu nity for individual profit in the en tire system. I The preliminary organization of . national farm loan associations has I progressed to a degree far beyond i the expectations of thc Federal Farm Loan Hoard at Washington, and everything points to tho unqualified ! success of this now enterprise. 1 Prospecting for petroleum In Ven ezuela is being carried on with on ' couraglng success by ono American ' and two English companies.
