a. uuuv?, w W..V ^ - 7 NEWBERRY PLANS ! BIG CELEBRATION i THE FOURTH TO BE FITTINGLY OBSERVED j Elaborate Program of Entertainments to Meet All Tastes and Inclinations of the People ; Plans for Newberry's observance of the fourth of July ave rapidly taking shape and on Monday the program committee had a one hundred per cent meeting and "doped out" the progiam covering the celebration of the day. They are new ready to go right ahead and perfect all arrangements and the details of every event have been placed in the hands of su0-. committees, each one charged with some specific task. The day's events I look like a mighty line program which is as follows: From nine until ten band concert in the public sauare by the Mollohon .band. Ten to ten-fifteen cars gather in the public square to give every one walking to the morning ball gamp a i "lift.'' Ten-thirty ball game called at the Mollohon park, with West End playing Mollohon. Xoon to two there will be at least four barbecues to take care of the holiday dinner, with Mollohon and Oakland mills honoring their employees with a "cue." From two until four will be the gala hours of the day and these two hours aire chock full of attractions which are planned to please the vast multitudes which will gather here on the '"Fourth" for the attractions offered, every one of which, -save the ball ^ames, will be absolutely free. During these hours there will be a checker tournament in the Legion hall, in which all the crack players of the county will be invited to play and to thc winner a silver loving cup will be awarded, with the request that this cup be held for one year and that on each Fourth it be contended for, making the checker tournament an annual event. During the playing of the tournament these attractions will be offered on the public square, with band concerts all the while by the West End and Oakland bands: Exhibition of the Excelsior Hose com pany, showing many feats of fire .fighting and thrilling racos. There will be a battle royal, in which wouldbe champions will exchange husky blows, and since the details of this are being arranged by the king of all battle royal entertainments, ''Boo" Sfcurry, every orie is assured that his dusty maulers will delight the crow l. Some time after the battle is over a , greasy pig will be released and to the ] " iU Vv , a pCI'SUll WI1U uaiL'UCd illm &kksjl uuv-vccuu in holding the Crisco massaged an'mal can claim him and Chief McCarley has promised not to eause the arrest of the winner for keeping a pig inside the city limits, provided said pig meets an early death and via the butchering route. Races are always popular at such events and for these who like a good race the program committee has scheduled a dash of two blocks, sack races, three legged races, and other athletic events too numerous to detail, but every one is promised two hours brim full of spectacular and amusing entertainment' with tuneful music all the while. At four o'clock the checker tournament and the exhibitions on the public square being at an end will allow thirty minutes in which to journey over to the West End park where the Mollohon and West End teams will play their second game of the day and every indication is that the stands will be packed to capacity at this game for the fame of each team has spread and there are supporters of, each by the hundreds who will gather to see their team play. i After the last ball game of the day there will be an intermission in the program until eie-ht-thirtv, at which time there will be staged a Fiddlers' Convention, followed by an old time square dance. These attractions of the evening: will be witnessed by a great throng- and the winner in the fiddlers contest will receive :i great ovation and a suitable prise. No mention has been made of the prizes which will be awarded but the committee on arrangements have provided to present suitable pr zes for every contest, even to the battle royal champion and all who compete in the various events will contest for valuable prizes. Another matter which will be stressed is the closing cf the stores on the fourth, to allow the clerks and owners a real holiday,; so that they too may enjoy 'he fine attractions which have been arranged. The committee on store closing thought it best not to ask the merchants to close the entire day but they will be asked to close from tenfifteen on. Under this reouest a mer chant can come down and open his mail, perhaps allowing his salespeonle the entire day. and by closing at ten- j fifteen he will have the balance of the day to enjoy the events and will be in time to witness the first ball game I at the Mollohon park at ten-thirty J From the interest manifested by the merchants regarding the closing it' will almost be unanimous.

"" T ! W. M. S. UPPER S. C. CONFER. i ENCE METHODIST CHURCH ! The annual meeting of the Wom-| an':3 Missionary societies of the Up- j per South Carolina conference will j convene in Central church on Wed-j nesday evening-, July 5th, continuing j through Friday. About 200 delegates i and conference officers will be in at- j tendance. The night sessions will be of es- j pecial interest. The public is cordial-! ly invited to these and to the day ses-j sions. although the latter will be | largely routine business. The names of delegates received j so far follow, so that hosts may have] an opportunity to select their friends! from among them. Several members ' r\f rkfVior Hprmminntinns have verv i kindly offered to assist in entertain-; ' ing delegates; and, as this hospitality! committee still lacks a few homes, the . chairman will appreciate like offers from any others who may have; friends among the delegates. If those j who are willing to entertain guests; but have no way of getting them back : and forth, will notify the chairman of the transportation committee she will provide cars. Mrs. R. D.

Business 0: farmers and experiment stations ri have found that a silo not only in- j m creases the yearly profits of the farm, : but eliminates many uncertainties of! livestock raising. anv rirnrJn r*fc wV?ir?h It *0^ /1-rir ! | have little feed value are converted j | into splendid feed by a silo. Sixty, I per cent of the feeding value of a | good corn crop is in the ears and 40 : j per cent in the stalks and leaves, j I When the crop is a partial failure, j ! a much greater per centage of the j j total nutrients is in the roughage, i ' and in the event of protracted I drought, the roughage often contains. ! practically all the food elements. I Pnff4-v,? I ? UUUllg tliC S^KJlLi III IIIC tliu, LIlCl Ci fore, does not mean that the crop is ' all harvested. Can the farmer af ford to waste 40 cents out of every | i dollar when by putting his corn crop ; in the silo, he can get its full valu?> 100 per cent? No. Silage has no equal as a succulent and economical feed for dairy cattle. ! It keeps up the flow of milk when j- J J * 1.1 pastures are snort, ana auring uie winter months it keeps up milk production at less cost than dry forage ! alone. i The Ohio Experiment Station has j shown that a silage ration produces l j butter fat for 41 per cent less cost! j than doe6 a grain ration. A silo is J ! a very economical storage place, as \ ! x? j. -.c ~:i t-- -j. J xl- _ ' ten ions 01 suage can ue siureu m une ( same spaace as one ton of hay. , The filling of the silo can ibe done j in wet as well as in dry weather, \ | while other crops would be entirely j | lost if harvested under these condi | tions. If enough silage is produced | all the year round, the pasture acre| age can be reduced and thus a larger ! | acreage may be used for cultivation. [ Another great advantage of the' j use of the silo is that the land upon j i which silage is grown is clearefl, J early in the season and ready for fall 1 and winter crops, either rye or oats j for winter pasture or o us and vetch i for hay. The use of silage during the sum- i ! mer is particularly applicable on high priced land. In pasture, it j requires one to three or more acres a season for each cow, while one \ ! acre of corn in the silo will supply i 1 succulent roughage for several cows ' i ..... . i : for a like period. j Soiling crops have been used ex- J i tensively in place of or in addition to pasture. The great disadvantage , in their use is that much labor is required, for they must be cut and j hauled every day. This i-> expensive j j because only small areas are cut at j one time. It is inconvenient also' I because the field work is pressing at: | that season of the year and both man rul horsepower are needed badly 1 the fields. Silage, oil the other and is cut at one operation when le field work is not pressing. Bedes, weather conditions lway interne greatly with a soiling system, hereas with the silo a good supply f succulent feed for the cows is mailable regardless of weather conitions. When it is not necessary to se the silo during "he sum mo.*, it an be sealed up and the silage pre?rved for winter use, thus preventlg any waste in feed. It will not pay to build a silo for ss than ten head of dairy cows, but le farmer with at least the minimum amber should at once plan to build a lo. The dairy farmer who in the ill has a silo or two full of good Drn or sorghum silage, need not wor: about what his cows are going ? eat. Talking recently of the practicality of a silo, a farmer of Dillon >unty said he thought it was too icpensive to buy the material necesiry for filling a silo. But why lould every farmer need to own lis equipment? Let him cooperate ith his neighbors in filling th? siio ; he does in marketing cotton and bacco. As many as a dozen dairyen can own jointly a silage cutter id necessary equipment at very lite cost to each. Now is the time of the year to link about building a silo. , HE SECOND OR FALL CROP OF IRISH POTATOES Better Safe Than Sorry"?Do Not lant Fall Irish Potatoes Too Early ripmsnn College June 29?The ear r movement and individual buying f Lookout Mountain potatoes, toether with the many inquiries consrning this crop, indicate that there danger of too early planting, ezecially of the Lookout Mountain ariety, for maximum yields.
