W WmH mi pm ] i Entered at the Postofficc nt V^wferry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. : E. H. AULL, EDITOR. 1 Friday, November 1, 1912. < Do not forget the election- next Tuesday. Let everybody vote, and be 1 in position to say, "I helped to make Wilson win." >0 WONDER. The Greenville Piedmont says: "We never could understand how Prosperity, S. C., got its name." No wonder you never could understand that or anything else. Xo editor is in a condition to understand the simplest thing, after "exhibiting" the following in the same column from which the above is taken : "William Jennings Bryan says that the t-ane, not the insane, must decide this presidential contest. And yet Mr. Bryan wants to help settle it." Everybody else recognizes Mr. Bry- < an as the sanest of the sane, and a man who thinks otherwise must be t Clearing the insane line. , It will be remembered that at the I i general election next Tuesday the qualified voters of the State will pass on the question of issuing $1,000,000 j of State boards for the purpose of pay- i ing for lands and completi/g the erec- i tion of the buildings of the new State Hospital for the Insane. Considerable work has been done with money bor- ] Towed from the sinking fund commission; but this money has to be replac- ( ed. and it is Dronosed to do this with a , part of the sum realized on the sale of j ? the bonds. The proposed bonds, if j ( they are issued, are to be secured by a . mortgage on the present asylum prop- " erty, and it is expected that long before the bonds become due this prop- , erty will sell for sufficient to retire . them. If the bonds are not voted, the 1 means with which to do the proposed . work will have to be raised through j. increased tax levies.?Torkville En- j ' quirer. The Yorkvi)le Enquire!* states' the proposition clearly and succinctly. If 'j all the newspapers of the State had : eimply presented the facts to the peo- ' pie, then the voie could have been in- , telligently cast on this question. CS% ? > We do not like the proposed asylum ^ bond issue for another reason, which >t snay not be a good one, but it is: worth looking into and that is because it was the only one of the items in the State % election that the people were called on j to vote upon which was not set forth ^ fully before them. They do not know Tvhat it is that they are' voting on, and the text of the resolution ought to have been published with the rest of the questions in the notice of election. We do not think that the people can be too careful in this matter of bond is- ( sues, A million dollars for a new asy- i lum is not needed nearly so much as < many other things are, and the pres- < ent asylum can be relieved of much of < its congestion by proper measures. We would far rather that the general ( assembly come back at us on this ( proposition.?Florence Times. As to the notice of election referred ( to by the Times, we think the point is , well taken, that the commissioners of election, or the Secretary of State, or whoever prepared the notice, did not set forth fully the resolution of the . general assembly authorizing this spe- *, cial election. It occurred to ifs at the i time we received the notice from the 1 I commissioners of election, and we thought at that time of calling attention to it. ] All of the proposed amendments to r] the constitution are set forth fully ex-; cept this one. We are satisfied that J there was no intention on the part of!' ! 1 anyone to withhold the facts from the! i people, hut it would have been better ] if the entire resolution had been set ) forth. However, it seems to us that ^ with all that has been said about this 1 proposed bond issue, the people ought.. to be sufficiently informed to vote in- : telligently. 1 It is the duty of the State to care for tbe unfortunates who are confined ' itf the asylum, and to care for them in i at least a humane way, and with the,, crowded condition now eating at the!' asvliim. and thf> raoid I increase of the population, it is utterly impossible to care for these people ' ns they should be cared for. The editor of the Times will no j< doubt recall the investigation held by ] the legislature a few days ago, looking n into conditions at the State Hospiia for Insane, and no one who ha<s giver the- matter any thought at all wil reach any other conclusion than tha it is absolutely imperative upon th< people of the State to relieve the con flition now existing. Of course, then are other things needed, but there h nothing demanding the attention o the people so strongly as to relieve thii congested condition, and it would b< really a waste of money to spend an: more upon permanent improvement; upon the present property, especiau: in view of the fact that a large trac of land has been purchased and con siderable money already spent upoi the development of a new asylum. Ae we have before remarked, ther< is only one of three things for th< people of the State to do: 1. Vote the bond issue, pledging thi present property in Columbia for it) payment 2. Continue the work of developmen by a direct tax. 3. Discontinue the work at the nev asylum altogether. In considering this, the peopli should remember that over 2,000 acre* of land have been purchased and sev eral buildings already erected am equipment installed for continuing th< work, and that altogether something like $150,000 have been s'pent. Thi State can not afford at this stage t< iiscontinue the work. MJssion Study at Newberry College Lutheran Church Visitor, 24th. Rev. E. C. Croink, general secretar: Df the Lutheran Laymen's Movement conducted an advance mission stud: series at Newberry colleges last week On Monday night he spoke on the sub ject of "Mis'sio-ns." Tuesday night h< gave an illustrated lecture on thi Lutheran educational institutions o ttoej South, emphasizing the fact tha< these colleges were tools with whicJ the church intends to Christianize th< world. On Wednesday evening slide; were shown of many of the foreigi Qelds in which the church has estab [ished missions. Thursday evening the plans for the organization of th< mission classes were completed, and i is the purpose of thei leaders to inter sst every student in the work and tx have the largest enrollment in years rhese classf will be conducted b: sompetftent leai*. , for a period of eigh areeks.

Our experiment* with this crop will not warrant ou: recommending it as a safe one for thij State. Our soils can be made to gro^ it, and it is being done in several sections of the State, with fairly gooc results, but the large number of fail ures and the cost of producting it ar< drawbacks to success with this crop rne rarmer can reiy wiui more cer tainty on cowpeas, sorghum and peas and oats and vetch. With these cropi lie can secure better results, and witl less cost. For those who are contemplating the growing of alfalfa, one of the best way* af getting results is to start preparing the land at least one year previous tc che tima of sowing the seed. Unless the land is rich, well drained, and frefrom weed and grass seed, it will no be profitable to sow alfalfa. In the fall, break the land deep, and apply < :on of lime per acre, harrowing thi< in well, in aoout one weK appiy siauie manure at the rate of from five to ter tons per acre, and harrow this in Then, during some moist period ii September, or October, the earlier th< better, sow bur clover, crimson clove: or vetch, inoculating the seed whei sown or use soil from the field when the crop has been grown successfully I'se a liberal amount of complete fer tilizer at this time. In the spring ai soon as the ci.m is taken from th< land, plow it deep and thoroughly again, and apply 1000 pounds of lime Sow cowpeas broadcast, ami give c liberal application of a complete fertilizer. Do not apply stable manure r 1 at this time, as it will serve to spread ! weed a;:d grass sesd. The stand of peas j should be thick in order that the weeds and grass will not get started. In the fall cut the peas for hay and plow - the land shallow, or it is a light sandy - loam, discing is all that is necessary. 3 Apply lime again at the rate of 1,000 ; pounds per acre, and harrow it in. . Alfalfa should not be sown on a loose 1 and dry seed bed. Sow the seed dur3 ing so?ne moist period between the - last of September and the middle of y October, at the. rate of 25 pounds per 3 acre broadcast, and harrow them in lightly. Inoculating will be necessary and can be done either by inoculating t thp with Farmofferm before sow - ing, or by applying two hundred i pounds of soil from an old alfalfa field broadcast per acre. Farmogerm will give good results is used properly. Use as fertilizer at the time of planting e about 200 pounds of complete fertilizer. harrowing it in with the seed. 5 If one wishes to plant alfalfa withs out going to the trouble of starting one year early and getting the land in good condition, we would suggest that land which has been in cowpeas, or : some clean cultivated crop, be used. 7 [ Break the land deep and thoroughly, and apply lime at the rate of 200 2 pounds or more per acre. Do not ap? ply any stable manure unless it is thoroughly decomposed and free from weed and grass seed. Otherwise the 1 'sowing of the seed should be done in 2 the fall, the same as in the above dey 'scribed method. 3 In the spring, if weed and grass get ^ started irr the fie<ld, it should be mowed as often as necessary in order that | they do not get ahead of the alfalfa. Under no circumstances should weeds * "and grass be allowed to maturre seed in the field. Where there are no weeds f y and grass to give trouble, cuttings > should be made as often as the plants y i are in full bloom or little before. " j F. G.
