Information by U. S. Dept. Agriculture, Bureau Plant Industry, Farmers' Demonstration Work. A winter cover crop is one of the most important factors in Southern farming, especially hill farming. A system of poor farming has so great ly exhausted the humus in the major ity of the fields as to make it well nigh impossible to prevent their further de pletion by the heavy rains of winter and early spring, which carry off much of the valuable elements left, onto the bottoms, and into the streams. Na ture, always resourceful, has furnish ed certain plants which may be used to restore the depleted soils. These winter cover crops will hold our loose soils in place, and where sufficient growth is obtained, can be turned un der to add humus to the soil. The sand hills and other loose soils can largely be prevented from leaching if heavy cover crops are turned under for a few years. This statement may be verified by taking new land whers the plant roots and vegetable mold are still in it, or the same may be found in sod land where run to pasture for a -teries of years and bi --ight back into cultivation. No washing occurs here even after the heaviest rains. A good cover crop will not only prevent wash ing and add humus to the soil, but it clovers or vetches are used there will be nitrogen collected from the air and stored in the soil during winter, as peas and beans do in summer. The plants most suitable for cover crops are rye, vetch, crimson and bur clov er. Conditions of course, must deter mine which to use. Rye. Rye is one of the old standard win ter crops and has been used very ex tensively in some sections. It has the advantage in that it is generally known, is easily planted, will grow al most at any season, will grow on the poorest soils, seed are usually cheap, and it does not require extra care in the way of inoculation as is the case with the legumes. It can be sown in the middle of the corn or cotton at last cultivation or if not convenient to sow at this time it can be done a little lat er in the fall. When sown early it gives a better cover for the soil and also some good grazing for the stock. Where practicable, however, as would be on the corn land, it Is better to turn under stalks and other growth and plant rye on good seed bed. It is also a good plan where the soil will grow it, to mix vetch with the rye, about 1 bushel of rye to one-fourth bushel of vetch, using a bushel of the mixture per acre. It is better to dri'l seed, especially where planted in mid dles. of corn or cotton. It is claimed that the variety known as Abruzzes, which was imported by the agricul tural department, is best suited to South Carolina and adjacent States. There are other good native varieties which can be had at a fair price. Oats. Oats may be used instead of rye in ijaany instances, and the same general rule for preparation, planting, and af ter treatment, may be followed as for rye. One and one-half to two and one half bushels of seed should be used per acre when planted alone; one and one-half bushels and one-fourth bush el of vetch when combined. ~Rust proof oat seed gives the best results In nearly every part of the South. Un less the lands are fairly good it will be necessary to fertilize the rye and oat crop to get sufficient growth for the most valuable cover crop. Stable ma nure applied broadcast at time of planting is good for this, or the fol lowing per acre: Acid phosphate 150 pounds; cotton seed meal, 150 pounds, and muriate of potash, 30 pounds, thoroughly mixed and applied at time of planting. Clovers and Vetch. Until lands become more fertile and adapted to these crops the best satis faction with them can be obtained on ly by making a good preparation and by givng some special care in seed ing 'and inoculating the soil. Preparation. Turn a few inches deeper than it has been previously plowed. If there is no rain, after this, before time of planting,, a roller should be run to firm the seed bed. These crops can be sown in both corn and cotton middles where clean by scattering seed broadcast and run ning sweep or cultivator lightly to cov er. Entire success, however, need not be looked for by this method of seed ing, though some splendid results were reported from it last season. The!. corn lands can be put in fine condition by using a cut-away or disc harrow to cut stalks and turn top soil. Sow seed and cover with tooth harrow. Fertilizers. The clovers and vetch will need fer-' tilizers 10 get satisfactory early growth. For this purpose stable man ure stands first as it not only auds fertility but carries the bacterial ino culation so essential on soils first planted to these crops. An application per cent. acid. 25 pounds muriae Vpo ash, and ~5 pounds couon seed neal or dried blood per acre will be good. The I addition of the small amount of nitro genous fertilizer will aid in giving the young plants a vigorous start. When there happens to be any acidity of the e soil, air-slacked lime at the rate of 1,- r 000 pounds, per acre, should be ap- h plied at time of preparation. I Time for Sowing. I The best time for sowing crimson C clover or bur clover is just as early in t the fall as danger of summer killing ! of young plants is past-not letter than September 1. Vetch can be sown a much later, though the earlier plant- a ing does better. c Amount of Seed. a About 20 pounds of crimson clover seed per acre sbould be used; 30 pounds bur clover in bur, or 18 pounds C cleansed seed; 15 pounds vetch seed when sown with one bushel oats which plan is always best if the soil is good enough to allow it, 30 pounds if sown C aloe. Bur clover will be found to 9 grow better as a rule from the seed I planted without hulling. The inocu- E lating germ appears to be carried with the bur. All clover seed should be r covered lightly; use roller if the soil is t t dry at planting time. . -....t Inoculation. To get a satisfactory crop of crim son clover, bur clover, or vetch the J first year, the soil must be inoculated. Stable manure apparently does this in some localities, but the safest plan is to procure soil from a few inches be- c low the surface, where the bacteria I are more numerous, from a field which t has already grown the crop, scattering a broadcast over the newly planted h area. Two or three bushels per acre will answer, while more would be bet- v ter. l; Thc United States department of ag. s riculture will furnish inoculating ma terial free for any of the: crops, to any who make application, f-fll it, structions as to use oeao %ent.

His signed statement was ad- I: clressed to "the Democracy of Tennes'. t: see," which follows: k "Owing to the insidious and persist- a ent attempt of certain newspapers who are incapable of dealing with public e men and questions with fairness or de- fa cency, it becomes necessary to state ti that there is.not a particle of truth in . the rumor that I withdraw from the contest for governor.

S ROOSEVELT A PLAGIARIST? v London Paper Says Peace League I Suggestion Came From Eing of Italy. '] London, August 26.-The Daily News, today publishes a communication stat ing that the origin of Col. Theodore j Roosevelt's famous suggestion for a European peace lague, made at Chris- 1 tiania during his re' ut tour of Eu rope, was a memoranuum prepared on j the subject by the king of Italy, which~ the king asked Col. Roosevelt to con vey to Emperor William of Germany. It was before the Nobel prize com mittee at Christiania, in his address on "International Peace," that Col. Roosevelt made his plea for a league ' of peace. C "It would be a masterstroke," he stated, "if those great powers honestly bent on peace would form a league of peace, not only to keep the peace among themselves, but to prevent, by' force if necessary, it being broken by others."

Crews the veteran edito: f the Laurensville Herald, tells ood story of the late Col. James H rby, of Laurens, who ilas one of th ost noted lawyers in Upper Carolin 1 ante-bellum days. The times wer ed hot just prior to the meeting o ie Secession Convention in Charles )n in December, 1860. Local agita on was at fever heat throughout th tate and old Laurens in those days ist like at the present times, was , ot bed of politics. The overwhelm ig sentiment was for secession i aurens, but there were some feV onservatives, Col. James H. Irby be ig their leader. On a certain day, ai ie story goes, it was advertised tha me ting would be held at the cour ouse, to which all citizens favorinj tate's rights and secession were in ited. Not to be outdone, Col. Irby ,rote out a notice to the effect tha 11 citizens not in favor of the Stati eceding from the Union would hol separate meeting on the same day 'his notice the colonel carried to thi ostoffice and pasted on the wall. Hi tood off from it a distance, and, ad isting his spectacles with deliberat ase, scanned it carefully and with ai [r of satisfaction and complacency ast at this moment some precocioui Duth, just out oti college, entered thi ostoffice and noticed the colonel read ig his sign. As the notice bore the signature o0 o. Irby, the smart youth turned t< im and said: "Col. Irby, did you write at notice?" "Yes, sir," wds the reply. "Why n't it all right?" "No; sir; you've got the word 'sep rate,' spelled wrong." Col. Irby again adjusted his spec tles and looked over the notice wit] reat care and scrutiny, and turn tg to the young fel-low, said: "Why, that reads all right-what': rong with it?" "Separate is spelled s e p a r a t< aid not s e p e r a t e," came the brigh ick answer of the highly educatei >ung man. "Well," reluctantly admitted Col by, "you are right; but say, you art ie first d-n fool I ever saw wh< new thow to spell and didn't knov nything else." Col. Irby was once lieutenant gov rnor of South Carolina and was th< ther of the late United States Sena >r, J. L. M. Irby.
