'abbs have done some special work, Sthe former in Aiken and Clgarleston Scounties and the latter in Williams urg county. The result of these 'workers was satisfactory. The report of the secretary-treasur er shows a healthy cash balance in the treasury after meeting 'all obligations -up to the end of the fiscal year end Sing June 30, 1911. U nion is Growing. National Secretary-Treasurer A. C. -ais, in his report to State Secre tary-Treasurer J. Whitner Reid, shows that theire has been a gratifying in crease in the membership in this State. The committee thi'nks this increase is due to the representatives stressing the basic principles of the organiza tion, namely, education, co-operation and genaeral uplift work among the farmers in the State. Texas and Mis sissippi have likewise made an in crease. The committee believes the icrese in these three States is, due to emphasizing warehouse and general cooperation. Wonderful Recovery. A remarkable case is being treated by Dr. J. A. Meldau. Mrs. P. B. Single ton, widow of the late Benjamin Sin gleton, is sick at her home in this city. Se has been very ill. It was thought the she was dying Tuesday, her finger nas were purple and t!?ere were oth r evidences of approaching disso!u .4: eo mared were tha signs that her absent relatives were wired of her approaching death. Herr physician, Dr. Meldau, who says that "while there is I life there is hope," although he thought she was dying, worked hard to save his patient, with the result that she revived and improved and is still im proving. This is truly a remarkable C instance, as Mrs. Singleton is 72 years i old. It is an instance of a physician snatching a patient from the jaws of death. CHANGE DATE FOR RED SHIRTS.

RAPE AS A FORAGE PLANT. * Clemson Extension Work-Arti- * ele 49.. * * * *. * * * * * * * * ** * * * * Dwarf Essex is ,the best variety of ape and is recognized as a staple razing crop for hogs and sheep. Natuve--It is a plant close akin -to urnips and collards. The top consti utes its valuable portion since it nakes no great root development. Planting-The seed are largely im ported and are generally viwry cheap, ive to ten cents per pound. The crop hould, for best success, be planted a August or September on a very rich and tboroughly irepaured soil. The and and its preparation are the same e for a good crop of tur ips. The eed may be sown broad cast, flve to even pounds per acre, or in drills two o two and a half feet apart, four to ive pounds per acre. In the latter ase one or more shallow cultivations nay be given .to save moisture and de -troy weeds and grass. The crop is ilso successfully 'grown by planting k-ith oats, planting the seed broad cast Lfter the oats havie been sowi in the Fertilizing-If the soil is not rich md well supplied with vegetable mat er, ten to fifteen tons of good stable nnanre should be thoroughly 4orked nto the surfea~ In addition to this i0 pounds acid phospate and 500 younds kalniit should be applied per ere. A top dressing of 100 pounds >f n@trate of soda should be added in e spring. The fertilization will nec isarily vary with the quality of soil. Grazing-When planted e,rly in the 'all or 'with oats t'\e crop should be a 'oot or more in height and ready to raze by November. Pigs should be urned on and allowed to stay until ~verything is eaten except the stubs Td then taken off. Anot~eer crop will ome and be ready to graze in the spring. After the last grazing the and should as rlanted in soy be~ans or .wpas for '. summer er, i . In case ~he weather in the fall is such as to revent planting, and such is Aten he case, the seed may be sown in 'ebruary or March with good res':ts, .hough fall planting 'is to b-- prefer ed. ' Pigs ~grazing on impe or other imilar crops should have a smnall imount of corn or oth i r'.i- feed ach day. For best resuts one per sent. of . the weight of the animals hould be fed each day. This has been sound the best -way 'to secure maximum 'esul,te from the a-ape crop. Prof. W. R. Perkins, Di-retor Agricultural Department. SOUTHERN~ OFFICIALS NAM~ED.
