This Year For The Land's Sake, Say* County Aucnt. The- South Carolina Farmer has a j wide range <>t" soil building crops from which to choose those best. adap- i ted to his local conditions. Nature has been especially kind to. hint in this respect. In the northern states if one desires to plant a leguminotJH crop to maintain the fertility of hU soil, it means that he has to practi cally .sacrifice a staple money crop. Not so with us. for we can gro\v soil building 'crops throughout tin* year, and in many eases at the same tinje we are growing a staple crop. Are we going to pass up this oppor- I tunity of increasing the producing i power of our soils and thereby' re-' during our fertilizer- bills, by failing I to plant every available acre in some i leguminous erop this year? - Kvery acre of corn should have a companion crop of legumes, -velvet beans ? ? r ' cow peas, as conditions may best war rant. Peas should be sown on all oat : stubble, as well as on those small fields and corners which otherwise < might be left out of cultivation thi* yfj.tr, A great deal <>f land now con sidered tun poor to yield profitable returns, could, by the plowing under of two or three crops of velvet beans or cow pea > or other legumes, be so improved in fertility that other < r<>ps might be raised very profitably. The farmer who plants every acre possible in some leguminous crop for soil improvement thi> year, will most surely have a smaller fertilizer bill in 1021. - 1. \V. Sanders, County Agent. ' \?rcy ( '.

UAKKUKSS HANPMNG OF KfifiHl Causes Tremendous Losses (o Produc ers. I )? .tlcrw and Consumer**. Department iecord| show that an , inmi'. oi > I <H),<H)O,000 lost in ID22 through brokop and spoiled eggs, says a Washington letter, This loss is due almost entirely to caroleais handling. At least half of the loss was sustain ed by the poultrymen, and wholuaa.lo 1 und " .'retail dealers through broken eggs, the other half largely through > their neglecting to candlo eggs be fore delivering them to consumers. Millions ?>f eggs reached customers either broken or decomposed and Usu ally the retailer had to make good. |. Ordinary bags, paper cartons, and the like offer no protection to eggs, it is pointed out. They must be parked in wooden carriers to resist th? thou j sand natur al shocks that eggH are heir to, The j.nside of the carrier must be %o constructed or padded that the eggs can be stood upright instead of Wing laid lengthwise. Four million cases or 120,000,000 dozen more eggs were consumed in 1N22 than in any previous year. This year it is said promises an even greater excess. Figuring an average of. one egg per day per person in the United States, which is it conserva tive estimate, our country ate 36,500, 000,000 eggs last year. The incr?as ing egg consumption is believed to be due *mueh to government propaganda among farmers who were given tho impetus during the war to produce more eggs, and since then they have not ceased in their efforts, especially as they have had an invariably good market. Elforts are now being mad* to reduce the enormous loss suffered through broken and spoiled eggs. Care in handling eggs ;s considered the only remedy. l)ri\crs Must Stop. Before Crossing Raleigh, N. (\, April 1(5. ? Drivers of autoYnobiles and trucks on the pub lie roads of North Carolina must halt before crossing ?railway tracks at grade, under an act of the (Jejieral Assembly which becomes effective July (. 1923. Under flu* terms of the act every person driving a motor vehicle must come 'to a full stop at a distance not exceeding fifty feet from the nearest rail when approaching a railway track. Failure to observe the law will be a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment. Kcporls of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that in the last five yen;; '.',101 persons have been killed and 21. 'JOK injured in grade crossing accidents in the United States and of this frightful figure North Carolina has had more than her full quota. Laws similar to the North Carolina' statute are already in force in Vir ginia and Tennessee.

Arrangements have been complet-f i-d by Managers Brown & Propst of Columbia for the .appearance of the world's greatest soprano, to appear in the Hilly Sunday tabernacle on Fri day, May 1. with her assisting artists. Many citizens of Columbia are con gratulating Messrs. Brown & Propst on securing the tabernacle for this great singer, as it will enable them to present her for about one-half of what it would cost if the Columbia theatre were used. information giving the price and date of seat sale will be found in the advertising columns of this paper. The seat sale will open about two weeks in advance, as the tabernacle will be seated by coupon tickcts, which will necessitate that length of time to handle the sale for the large crowd that is expected. Managers' Brown & Propst. placed ah ordei' with the Globe Ticket com pany of Philadelphia for 5 .OUQjro upon colored tickets, the largest order ever sent from this city for coupon tickets, it is said. It has always been Galli-Curci's greatest ambition tossing "for the people." This probably due to her great love of humanity, to the sym pathetic notes that she strikes in tb? hearts of all those whom she meeti. To be loved by all, to make then happy, through the gift of song that is hers ? this is Galli-Cuivi's greatest desire.. A charming woman-, wearinj her laurels ?gracefully, she steps upon the stage ai\d in an instant estab lishes her magnetic personality. Gallic C-urci radiates happiness. Her simple songs, inimitably sung, bring solace, to the hearts of those who respond to the spell of music. Hail Stones Almost Size of Baseballs. Waynesboro, Ga., April 14.?
