Passed Away at Hospital in Green ville Last ?ivdnosday. There are many in Oconee who will learn with regrot ot tho death of Palm E.

Mr. Blnnchett had been in bad health si nco he returned from France,whore he offered his noble young life for his country. . Mr. Blanchott was born in Oconeo county, noar Walhalla, on Oct. 12th, 1890, and was a son of tho late W. 'A. Blanchott and Mrs. idanchott, ot Walhalla, .who survives him. Mr. Blanchott enlisted for sorvlco in tho World War in Juno, 1917, and went overseas on Sept. 1, 1918, and was in sorvlco in Franco for eleven months. Tho body was shipped from Green ville to Seneca on tho evening of tho 30th of August and was brought to Walhalla late in tho evening, and on tho 31st the remains were taken to tho Hooky Knoll Baptist cemetery and interred al 4 o'clock p. m., the services being conducted lu tho Church by Hov.

Townvlllo-Lee Caines form, on Thursday, Sept. 7th, nt ? p. m. Anderson-Wado Drake's farm, on Friday, Sept. 8th, at 3 p. nu Oconco farmers arc invited to bO present on a tour of inspection of theso two farms, under tho leader ship of N. E. Winters, soil fortuity specialist, and S. M. 'Byars, Ander son County Agent. ACTUAL' RESULTS of plowing under vetch and velvot bean crops for sevoral years will bo seen, and tho results explained by N. E. Win tors, ''tho Willy Sunday of Agricul ture." ; Mr. Gaines, of Townvillo, is one r f tho pioneer vetch growors of this part of the country, and ho has achieved marvolous results with tho hairy vetch, "the klug of win tor leg umes."" In gathering freo nitrogon from the air, Muscle Shoals looks small beside Mr. dalnes* votch crops. Every farmer within forty miles should bo on hand to soo the won derful results obtained With hairy votch mixed with oats and rye. At Wade Drake's farm tho results of vdch and crimson clover cover crops will bo seen, and for tho third consecutive time those prosont will witness tho hold of corn whore large applications of nitrate of soda failed lo show any results, duo to the soil having abundant supplies of nitro gen brought: down from tho air through summer and winter log umos, liming and. proper fertiliza tion, chiefly with acid phosphate. At Mr. Drako's the party will also seo tho results of his boll weevil poi soning experiments of this season. Mr. Drake used one largo duster and several small dusters in his poison ing, and ls reported to havo achieved very good results. This experiment will be equally as interesting as the soil building, which lattor work has made'Wade Drake famous through out 'this part or tii? South. Mr. Drako is also director from this district in tho Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association, and those members who. wish to ash some "MU estions ..bout tho handling of their cotton should take ibis opportunity lo.see Mr. IV.-?kc. Oconco Coming; lo the Front. Oconco has sevoral men, who aro demonstrating tho use of winter cover crops and summer legumes iii tho economical building of a fertile s'oil who aro hoing visited to-day (Wednesday) by parties of farmers. Within a few years wo should have several farmers wlio havo practically tho same outstanding success in soil building that Mr. Drako has made. "Poor Soil, Door Farmer; Rich Soil, Rich Farmer." A farmer's time could bo spout In no bettor way than by taking ono or both of theso trips. Orders will be booked for a co-oporatlvo order of votch seed at these meetings. Those seed can probably bo bought for 15 cents, delivered, in a largo lot. A chock must accompany each order. Without check NO ORDER WILL BE SENT IN, as theso seed will bo bought AT COST. Any difference in price will be pro-rated back. Crimson clover can probably be bought cheapest now from farmers' stock in tho chaff, advertised iij farm papers, tho Market Bulletin and in local newspapers. ? Clotho tho Earth Green. Two-thirds of the faco of tho earth in Oconoe county should bo sown down this fall - oats, ryo, wheat, oats and vetch, rye and vetch, bur clover, crimson clover, red clover and alfalfa. The fellow who thinks ho "can't grow nothiii' but cotton" had hotter stop fanning. If ho hasn't alroady stopped bc soon Will. While cotton will continuo to bo grown in Oconco county, IT WILL NEVER BE SAFE to grow, nor cnn it bo grown as cheaply as it was before thc advent of the weevil. Thus tho farmer must bo an "all-lho-year-round" farmer. At this limo great attention should bo given tho preparation for sowing down tho farm in grains, clovers and vetch. Sowing the clovers, grains and vetch requires very Httlo prepara tion, as they aro usually sown In, tho cotton and corn middles With grain drills and tho clover broad casted and lightly covered with a cultivator or wldo, shallow sweep. They respond to good preparation, however, but require a firm seed bed. Inoculation Is a necessity whero clo ver or vetch ls sown for tho first time. Get tho soil from a field that has grown tho same or a similar crop, Legumes that tako the same Inoculation are: Vetch and garden poas (English) ; crimson clovor ar.d red clovor; bur cloveir and alfalfa.
