Farmers' Union Bureau of information. -Condueted by the South Carolina Farmers' Eduoa tional and Co-Operation Union. .SCommunications intended for this department should be addressed to J. C. Stribling, Pendleton, S. C. To the Press. Owing to making a change in the printing establishment that has been setting up our Farmers' Union Bureau column -for us, our proofs have not gone out to our papers in a satisfac tory way recently . But under our new arrangements our column will go out to the press promptly on Tuesday mornings, released to the press Wed nesday, which we trust will be satis factory to all parties. W9hilst we are on this subject of the press we take this opportunity to thank all our papers that have been publishing our Bureau column for us. Oar committee of eight prominent farmers, whose duty it is to look after the good of our organization have done a wise thing in their efforts to educate our farmers on the business side of their farming through the es tablished press of the country in pre ference to accepting any one of seier al selfish propositions made to the Union to patronize only one paper as an organ for the Union. From the beginning it has been our opinion that in order to protect the interest of our farming populationu through an organized effort that was not necessary to uproot, teardown, or undermine any of our necessary indus - tries or legitimate business or subsi dise any part of the press of the coun try or split off any cohice pieces of politics to aid us in upbuilding our farming interest, which all sane peo ple, regardless of their occupation, will admit that the farming interest is the basis of the prosperity of our whole country. While the farmers' movements is educating the farmer in his business, we note.that the business fraternity is also learning that his prosperity de pends upon the prosperity of the far .mier, too. Putting in Fall Oats.. SNow is the time to begin to prepare yourselves to battle against the cotton bears that are sure to come after you next fall.. QBegin now to put in a large crop of winter oats. We nevey fail making a getod erop of winter oats.when.we can Plow the land deep, harrow smooth andl( drill the seed in open furrows. I use a common cotton planter with a fertilizer attachment and put in Y~from 150 lbs to 200 lbs of 10-4 acid phosphate to the acre. It is a waste of money to use small grain sown in the .fall. We use a shovel plow about six or eight inches wide on the planter foot '~to open the furrow and make the rows ~ ust close enough to not allow any & loose dirt to roll back in the open S trench just planted. Be careful and > don't allow any dirt to fill in the open trench, and run the rows nearly on-*a level but should empty out gradually' at each end. Never on any occasion sow seed oats in the fall that has not been grown from fall sowing at least three years; at which this seed may be considered as having the established habit of win t;er growing. . We would also give the preference to seed already grown by .the open -trench system over that seed grown from broadcast sowing, though we have no positive proof that the open trench grown seed are the safest. We eaution all. new beginndrs about -seeuring first-class pure elean seed. Most any up-to-date farmer would tell you that seed oats or wheat plant .ed with cheat,. cockle or smutty stuff would not only fill your lands with these foul seeds, but they reduce the 'yield to an extent that would make it profitable to pay five or mor.e prices . fr pure seed tha.n to tako foul seed at 'no cost. ) Besides Assets of t : Mutual Life" is the rivate fortunes is, by the State Lav i Company.

ROB] We are now'preparing to mow down a crop of about two tons of pea. vine to the acre on land that was aband oned three years back by an improvi dent renter that failed to get more than five bushels of corn or 150 lbs. of seed cotton to the acre. Deep ploughing, cow peas and from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs. of acid phosphate to acre on each crop is all the secret there is in this. This simple application of a little common horse sense, a good deal of horse sweat in a co-operation way, with nature, has made this land that was barren bloom again with profi table crops that average over thirty bushels of oats and from one to two tons of pea hay to the acre all in one year. This land next year would grow a good profitable crop of corn without any fertiliser, or with the applica tion of about 150 lbs. of acid phos phate we believe it easy to grow 1,000 lbs. of seed cotton to the acre. After a good crop of peas we don't need to udd any more nitrogeneous manure. Ordinarily we have plenty of this costly fertilizing ingredient stored in the soil by the cow pea crop. Raising Stock or Raising Negroes. On one side of the creek we can show you a large farm that was once considered one of the finest farms in the country, but for the last 18 years it has been run in cotton and niggers, until a larger part of the once fertile soil is now, in the lower places and in the streams, until these small streams are all filled with the washing froni the lands above. These once rich bot ton lands on the filled up streams are worthless now for crops. This whole farm now has a skinned desolate and barren look about it. Stock raising here-excepting little niggers -is at its wolest ebb. Not far away from the above farm is a farm that is farmed like the man who was after taking care of himself and his land, too. On every side, on the hills as well as on the lowlands, he has fine crops of grain and grass and pastures, roaming with cows and cal ves, hogs and pigs, mares and colts and poultry. The gaulded and naked places are nearly all covered over with grasses. The lowing of the cows and calves, the squealing of the pigs, the neighiing of romping colts and cack 1ing of the lhens, all chime in one grand chorus of farm music that make the heart of the true farmer leap with joy, and his city cousin wants to swap places with him. Compare these two farms' products One is covered over, almost with grass and live stock and the land and the man is growing richer. The cotton plantation is growing poor~er wvhile this man is raising little niggers. Take,your choice. As for our part we can manage the stock better than we can the little niggers, who generar ly go awvay to town or other places just about as soon as they get big enough. Temper. If a man has a quarrelsome tem per, let him alone. The world will soon find him employment. He will soon meet with some one stronger than himself who will repay him better than you can. A man may fight duels all his life if he is disposed to quarrel -Cecil. She Merely Wanted Bill. Dundee Advertiser. A dear old lady who had never left her native village before decided last summer to pay a flying visit to Ports mouth to see her son, a sailor. The exeursion train landed her at the har bor station. Wandering down to the pontoon in a dazed fashion, she was 'hustled into a boat by an entertaining boatman, and before she had recov ored from her astonishment found kerself by the sid, of the Victory. Looking up in awe at the imposing old hulk, she spied a sailor's fae beaming at her from a porthole. T'om mediately li' t dawned on her puzded braflinl, and snet yde~td out: ''Is this the ''Yes, mum,'' was the apologetic re ply he Company.

He Wanted To Know. The steamer Morning Star, co manded by Capt. Brown, in the as mer of 1904, while on a trip up I Maine coast with a party of exei sionists, was caught in a severe stor and the waves washed the decks peatedly. The captain assured I passengers that there was no i mediate danger. Most of the passq gers were satisfied with his answ but a little gentleman with an exe ed face stopped forward and ask the captain, time and time again, I same question: ''Do you think shall be wreeked?'' After the captain answered ma times, he at last became tired of I persistent passenger and said, "Doi you hear what I say? Look at I other ptassengers, they do not seem all disturbed. If there should be di ger, I will inform you in time.'' The passenger in reply, said: want to know in time, if we are ing to be lost, because there is a frie of mine on board.'' "Do you want to say good-by him'' inquired the captain. ''No, not exactly that,'' answet the frightened mail. "You see, 1 thing of it is, he has sh'amefully ceived me, and if we are going to t bottom I just want to tell hiim'wha think of him.'' Too Much Curiosity. A dangerous operation was bei performed upon a woman. Old D< tor A , a quaint German, full kindly wit and professional enthu asm, had several younger doctors w' him. One of them was administeri the other. He became so interested the old doctor's work that he wil drew the cone from the patient's ni trils, and she half-roused and r( to a sitting posture, looking with wi eyed amazement over the surromi ings. It was a critical period, ai Doctor A- did not want to be terrupted. ''Lay down, dere, men,'' he commanded gruffly. ''Y haf more curiosity as a medical si dent.'' Some First Occasions.
