a pilk handkerchief to Miss Pound.
After the bean shelling all the young

number of games were played. After
the games were played, peanuts were
served by Miss Gladys Hutto, assisted

a delightful evening.
PLENTY TOBACCO.
Close to one million pounds oi tobacco
were delivered to the cooperative
markets of Eastern North
Carolina last week, at their opening
according to latest returns which describe
heavy deliveries at Washington,
New Eern, Richlands. Kingston and
other big receiving centers where the
/
sign up of the Cooperative is particularly
heavy. %
Rejoicing, prayer and-Chanksgiving
featured the day in a score of markets
when the long cherished hope of
the farmer to control the marketing
of his own product in a fair, orderly '
and profitable way, became at last a
reality, following years of struggle
and organization.
Visiting Goldsboro, Smithfield,
JCebulon, Wendell, Bailey and Kiv

warehouses for the Association and
i . fi. Cheatham, ass stant genera

with tobacco from Cumberland county
weer invited to visit the Cooperative
warehouse at Smithfield. So pleased
were they wkh the table of advances
and the system of Cooperative sades,
*hat they drove their loads of tobacco
into the Association warehouse,
signed the contract and have returned
to Cumberland county. enthusiastic
members of the Assoc-aition, with
their first advancevS in cash, their participation
receipts and the knowledge
that they will receive further payments
and the highest dollar for ^ it h
pound of tobacco which they left with
the Association.
Members of the Association are
being urged to save their fodder to deliver
at their convenience and in an
orderly manner, and satisfaction is
being expressed on all sides by those
who do not feel obliged to rush their
tobacco to market and do not find it
necessary to drive long distances to
secure the higl> est price.
The cooperative markets will be
open for deliveries on Mondays, Tuesdays.
Thursdays and Fridays until the
machinery is sped up at a later date
to meet the increasing deliveries
which are expected as the farmers'
crop is prepared for market.
The fact that present payments are
based on a conservative cash value
was made clear to members delivering
tobacco on the opening day. Finn:
payments, according to Aaron Sapiro
Attorney for our Assocaition, will
amount to over 3 times the first cash
advance, ii' the first successful sales
of the Association are an indication
of the prices which its leaf department
Vill continue to secure.
LIVESTOCK AND GOOD PASTURE.
Georgetown, Aug. 25.?Fewi larmersx)f
the cotton belt realize the
benefti ol' good pasture for the little
livestock which they possess. It is
the usual practice to fence in that
part 01" the farm for pasture which is
unfit for anything else. This is a
mistake, say the livestock specialists,
as only that portion of the farm which
will produce other crops successfully,
will make the best pasture. It is true
that a perfectly ekan piece Oi land is
not necessary, but it must not be extremely
wet at all times, nor must it
be too poor in plant food. The pasture
crops respond to treatment as
readily as do other crops.
Some of the farmers of Georgetown
County are establishing good pastures
of carpet grass and lespedeza through
the help of County Agent M. M. Mc
'Cord. Except in one or two instances,
only small areas have been
seeded on 'each farm, but results are
so encouraging that much more will
be planted in the next few years.
Fine Example from Georgetown
Connt jr.
On the farm of W. L. Newton a
small natch of aout one and threequarter
acres was sown rather late in
the spring. For the last two months
there have been pastured on this- one
and three-quarter acres, two milk
.ows. and twenty-eight hogs, six of
which weer large mature animals
while twenty-two were March pigs.
Xo grain was fed the cows, an*l the
hogs were fed less than a half ushej
per day. Today after th-s heavy pasturing
the lespedeza is four to five inches
high, and Mr. Newton is going to
turn more stock on the pasture so tint
the carpet grass will have a better

rchance. It is true that the lespedeza
'chiefly makes up the pasture, as th<
carpet grass is still small, though
there(is a good stand of it.
' Farmers of the coast counties, aftei
seeing such pastures, must realize
that they are missing a golden opportunity
in their livestock program 11
they are proceeding without lespedezt
I and carpet grass.

DEMONSTRATION OF SOIL
| BUILDING AND WEEVIL COXTKOI
r
I Olemson College, Aug. 25.?Or
I.
Friday, September S. there will be c
field demonstration of soil buildinj
and weevil control on the farm of Mr
'Wade Drake, Anderson. S. C. A1
county agents and farmers that possily
can should come to Anderson or
1 that day, says X, E. Winters, Specialist
in Soil Fertility, who is planning
the demonstration. The patty wii
meet at the county agent's office ir
the Chamber of Commerce building ii
Anderson and leave Anderson uudei
the direction of S. M. Byars. County
Agent, at 2 P. M.f for t_he purpose cu
studying the effects of summer leJ
gume catch crops and winter lejruim
j'cover crops, on corn and cotton.
I For the third year in successior
Mr. Drake is conducting experiment
in which nitrate of soda is applied t(
! corn following a good legume covei
j crop turned under. For the past twc
years he has tailed to get any result
from nitrate of soda where his soil i?
properly* filled with organic mattei
and the nitrogen supplied by legumes
One of Mr. Drake's strongest points
('as a farmer is that he knows how u
! produce and does produce eoonomlrally
large yields of corn, cotton ant
other crops by using the five important
factors in soil management
namely, soil moisture controi, through
terracing and the use of cover crops
the incorporation of organic mattei
y means oi green .manuring, the us<
of good plowing and tillage methods
the systematic use of a ton re- mur<
of lime per acre every four or fiv<
. years in rotation, and the in eliigeii
j.
. use of commercial fertilizers.
! Mr. Drake is also sysreman ally us
*ng calcium arsenate dust in the con
! trol of the boll weevil on his cottoi
'this year, and it will be wli wort!
the time of anyr man who is imerestet
in producing cotton under boll weevi

l The hay crop was enormous?all
; barns packed to the limit. Corn and
t tobacco suffered from a recent dry
spell, but now we are having rains.
: 'The wheat yield was not so good, only
> an average of 25 bushels pe racre.
' One week of our vacation was spent
f at Lakeside on Lake Erie. Here we
t attended a Summer school for Lutheran
church workers. While theer we
took a oat trip over to the island of
'Put-In-Bay, and visited The Perry's
Victory Memorial. This is a manument
erected in commemoration of (
1 'the victory of Commodore Oliver Haz1
'ard Perry and his men over the Brit'
'ish fleet under Commodore Barclay in
' the battle of Lake Erie, commonly
^ 'called Perry's Victory, fought and
won September 10. 1813; and in coml j
1 memoration of the Northwestern j
Campaign of General William Henry I
Harrison in the War of 1812 and of j
the hundred years of peace ensuing
1 between Great Britian and the Vnited j
States. The foundations of the column
anu the plaza rest directly on |
soiid rock. The Morial stands on the
isthmus of South Bass Island, overlooking
the waters of Lake Erie and
the scene, of Perry's Victory off West
'Sister Island. The great column
rises 352 feet above the Lake level.
L l It is said to be the highest monument
| in the world, excepting the WashingI
ton .Monument; the greatest battle
manument in the world and the most
massive ever attempted by the ancients
or moderns.
The scene from the lookout near
th^ too is one of unrivaled beauty.
'The viistor has the choice of two j
5 ways to reach the top?the elevator]
or the stairway which is composed o* i
4U7 steps.
Operations to clear the site, originally
an unbroken forest, were begun
in June. 1911'; round broken for the
construction of the monument October,
1912; cornerstone laid, July
4th, 1913; the Memorial opened to the
. |
public, J pile 13, 1915. Including all
items of expense, the cost of the Memorial
was approximately $70i),oo(u.
Historically, one knows about these
events and the markers but it certainly
adds interest to visit and see with
your own eyes.

j 1 Recently, in company
] 'family, two other places of int-.vrst
] 'were visited. The one was the Crows
ell Publishing Company located at
y Springfield, O. I think this is the
second largest publication house in
this country. They are the publishers
of four leading magazines?The
American, The Woman's Home Com
panion, The Mentor, and The Farm
* and Fireside. These magazines have

page at the same time. They tell up
there are some 23 different operations
on each page.
The building is immense, occupying
'six floors. The- magazines are mailed
from the publication house. Mail
bags received by the carload lots?we
saw a pile of <10,000 bags. Five mail
I clerks are kept right in the building.
| Large quantities of paper and ink are
| kept in stock. A? much as J50.000
worth of ink in stock all the time.
The other place visited was .the
National Cash Register riant located
I at. Dayton, O. Every modern place of
busine.-s now lias a cash register
where all cash received and paid out
j is registered. The plant a tDayton
I is one of the largest of its kind in the
country. The company also maintains
plants in many other countries.
The Dayton plant consists of 23 buildings,
.".000 persons employed. Necessarily
some very intricate parts in
a machine of this type. They told us
that there were over G.000 parts in
I ea<^h machine. The out-put is around
! 350 machines each day. Nine tons of
| coal consumed daily. Indeed, a very
I interesting plant to visit. One is
j struck with the large number 01
ladies operating the delicate pieces cf
machinery.
j The company is known all over the
world for the interest shown to its
employees. The factory is a model
