Harria sends us tho following com munication relative to the purchase of seeds of v.uious kinds for plant ing in our state, in his letter accom panying this information, Mr. Farris takes occasion lo say: "it has bean noled by the department that quite a number of merchants and others buying grain for seed purposes have had considerable trouble In securing grain of good quality and good ger mination. Some of tho merchants in this State have bought grain for seed purposes, but it was tJoL tagged as seed, uoither did thoir Invoices state :'*, and after planting it was fourni thal tho grain was a poor quality. Tho matter was usually taken up with tho shippers, who stated Hie grain was not tagged seed, neither was it sold for seed, and under tho Stato law thoro was no way in which to protect the buyer.'' Mr. Harris's advice and caution i^o seed purchasers aro os follows: '.The Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries of South Carolina wishes lo warn all mer chants, farmers and others that every precaution should be taken In pur chasing oats, wheat, rye and other grains for fall planting. When any grain ls bought for seod purposes, tho buyer should seo that all tags at '.ached to tho seed, as well as tho In voice, should stato plainly that lt ls for seed purposes. An inspector will bo sent to any one upon request to draw an official sample to test for germination, and this should be done when the seed is received and before being plunled. "In the past it has been found that quite a number of merchants and others who bought oats, wheat, rye and other grains tor seed purposes, planted it and later found thc ger mination was poor. Quite a lot of thc grain was bought for seed pur poses, but the shipper failed to brand it as sueh. and when it was found that the germination was not of the best, the matter w;is taken up with the shippers, and their reply was that it was not branded or sold for seed purposes, There is a Stato law re quiring all grain sold for seed pur poses to be taggod as such, and thc germination must bo good." The purchase of seed grain, and oilier seeds as well, ls a very Im portant matter, and too much caro conant bo exercisod in buying, lt ls nothing but right that every buyer of seeds for planting should avail hin self of the protection that tho law gives him. lt is morely exercis ing common sense and availing one's self of tho benefit of tho State's vig ilance in regard to an essential lo successful tanning or growing of any crop.

Tho condition of the whole road is gradually getting worse, and unless something is dono soon-lt will not take a great deal of work the road is going to go really bad rapidly. Remember thc old adage, "A stitch In time saves nine." Let's seo something done p. d, q. to keep this highway in shape. It is a piece of work that deserves the very best possible attention. * * * The work of ditch-digging for tho water mains ls progressing rapidly, and the main street of Walhalla is in a deplorable condition, owing to this work and tho fact that nothing 19 being done on the north side of Main street, where, so far as 'ho construction company is concerned, tho work is finished. Why not give a little attention and work on. that side of tho street, and thus mako at least one side passable boforo .the long rains set In. And .then, too, what about the streets on which no sewer or water pipes will be put j down? A Hule work on these streets which citizens arc being compelled to use. being shut off from tho main i streets, would not be amiss. Let's i think about this matter. Wo realize, j ist a? fully as any one, thal tho streets of Walhalla are going to be I more or less torn up for some timo | to come, but the convenience of tho entire population can bo materially ?added to by just a llttlo work now and then. Our City Council might woll give this matter serious consid eration. * * ? And then we might Jab a pin Into our fi lends down Seneca way. The red. rocky hill leading into that town from the Wnlhalla-SCneca highway, j has long needed attention. Wo judge?, ? that this ls Seneca's business, but we j do not know this to bo a fact. Fact is, however, that it ls somebody's business ?and it isn't being attended to. If you have ever taken the side degree dubbed "The Rocky Road to Joricho" you can take it over again nt any lime you may wish by simply making the trip into Soneca ovor that red hill. It nooda work worso than any place In Oconce county, so far ns we have obsorved. . * ? And while wo aro jabbing pins wo might Just as well stick ono into our friends ovor at Westminster.
