The dry weather of the last
few weeks has greatly lessened
the prospects for an oat crop.
Heads are coming out only a
few inches from the ground, ani
unless rain comes very soon the
oat crop in this section will be
very light. Wheat doesn't seem
to be effected so much
Mr. J. W. Terry has a fine
field of clover between his home
and the road. We suppose he
will plant corn after the clover,
and if he does, we want the fel
lows who think clover doesn't
pay to watch his corn and ask
him how much and what kind
of fertilizer he used and then to
count the cost of his corn and
the cost of theirs.

Many newspapers are printing '
old news items from their files
of ten. twelve, sixteen and twenty
years ago, and the stuff is
usually interesting In some 1
instances this old news is more
interesting than the new.
This paper will not start such a
department until later. Our files
do not date back further than
the birth of the town, and our '
old news would not be so old. 1
This paper hasn't made much J
comment on the Villa chase for .
indeed there has been little j
worth the saying. Just how this .
scamp is to be apprehended by an ,
army of soldiers is more than we I
have been able to see. This
chase is much like the effort a j
few days ago to catch John McIlwain
on Mr. Funderburk's
farm five miles from town* ^^in '
^^kj^^^rhatthg posse of
but no whitS" i
man knew where John was or i
what he was doing. They knew
only where he had been. Our
brave lads would welcome a 1
fight with Villa, even more than 1
these men wanted to meet Mc s
Ilwain, but Villa knows all about !
their movements and desires <
while they know nothing of his i
maneuvers until he is uone. j
Velvet beans ma}- be purchas '
ed in Pageland now for the first !
time. We would like to see a 1
great number of farmers sow at
least a small area to this wonderful
nitrogen-gathering plant. '
Velvet beans make a heavy '
growth of fine hay. and store
perhaps more nitrogen in the
soil than cowpeas. Then there '
is the soy bean, splendid for hay,
but more popular for fattening
hogs. Mr. T. M. Jenkins has
been experimenting with sov
beans for a few years, and
praises them highly. He now
has wheat where there was a
trip of cotton, one of soy beans
and one of cowpeas. lie is
matching this closely, and re
->orts that the wheat is a little
better on the soy bean land than
vhere the peas grew, and better
on the pea land than on the cot !
ton land. lie doesn't believe in
much high priced commercial
fertilizer.
Influences In Germany Making
for Settlement
Washington, April 24.?Indi
cations that powerful influences
in German pclitics are opposed
to any action by the Berlin
government which might lead
to the severance of diplomatic
relations with the United States
understood to be contained in
confidential dispatches received
today by the state department
from Ambassador Gerard. So
cialists and Labor leaders arej
representeJ as being particularly
adverse to any such move.
Other dispatches from Mr. Gerard
were said to contain strong
intimations that the Berlin government
would make some concessions
to the United States in
reply to the note demanding ihe
immediateobandonment of present
methods of submarine warfare.
It still is uncertain, how
ever, whether the concessions
will be sufficiently broad in their
scope to meet the American demands.
Officials allowed it to become
known that Mr. Gerard's dis
i?l. j: ._j .1 . /-<
pmciius muicuieu mai oerinany
woul go to great lengths to preserve
friendly relations with the
United States. Mr. Gerard is
understood to have gained his
views during conversations with
Berlin officials, including Foreign
Minister von Jagow. His
dispatches are said to emphasize
the difficulties by which the
German government is confronted
in endeavoring to find a way
to meet the demands of the
United States without arousing
the element which insists upon a
relentless submarine warfare
against the shipping of the entente
allies.
The state department tonight
was awaiting a dispatch from
M 1 .1 1
ihi< vjciuiu i cjiui uilji Hie results
of a lengthy conference today
with Dr. von Bethmann Moll
weg, imperial German chancellor,
reported in press dispatches
Officials expressed a particular (
interest in that part of the press
repoits which indicated that the
reply to the American note
would not be made until after
the chancellor had another opportunity
to confer with the
emperor, who is at the front.
The fact that the conference
lasted more than an hour was
regarded as being a hopeful sign;
it being pointed out that if the
German government was dis
posed not to meet the American
demands it was improbable
there would have been a discussion
of such length. A report
from Mr. Gerard is expected
tomorro\y.
