Bale, Acting Chief Afros. vmlnt, Clenuon College It U natural that we should all lika i to reat when the opportunity arrives, and in its place rest Is a wonderful thing. There are many farmers who regard .the period of time between "laylng-by" and the beginning of harveijft as one which should be devoted exclusively to resting. This should not bo, for there Vie many Jobs which ought to bo done at this timo, and which to delay means economic loss to the farmer. This is the best time to carefully study the growing crops und try to determine if the fertilizer and cultural practices have been the best, Possibly an opportunity muy be afforded to compare different treatments to see which has given best results, and serve as a guide for future practices. In case plants on certain fields ,?how evidence of disease presence, plans should be made relative to planting other crops on this land, or securing seed of disease-resistant varieties. ' . , Good small gptin seed should.be secured, from reliable sources, and treated to control the diseases which so frequently attack such crops. Fields for planting large acreages of winter soil-building crops should be selected and arrangements made for pluntiiig within the near future. This is a splendid time to clean off all ditch-banks, terraces, hedge-rows, and others places which have been allowed to grow up in grass and weeds during the spring and early summer. All implements and tools which will not be needed for several months should be carefully stored where they will not be subject to damage from the elements. Benjamins Begin Terms William Benjamin and John Benjamin, father and son, were brought to the South Carolina penitentiary last week to begin their five to ten years' sentences upon conviction of manslaughter in the Manning county court of general sessions last June. Thdir conviction came as an outgrowth of the killing of Tazewell Scarborough, the son of Sheriff Sam Scarborough of Lee county, in a store operated by the Benjamins in Manville, Lee county, last Christmas. A change of venue was granted the Benjamins when the case was called for trial in Uishopvillo last spring.? Sunday's State. PUT COWS ON FULL SCHEDULE If wo were to pick any one thing above all othtera that Is responsible for the lack of satisfactory profits ?or even actual losses?in the dairy Industry, we would blame the average dairyman's failure to run his business according to modern manufacturing methods. The owner of dairy pows is really operating a milk factory. His factory is his barn. His raw materials are feed and water. His cows are machinery and labor. If the average farmer were put at the head of a large automobile factory, ho no doubt wofjld do what other manufacturers rfo?he would produce the most cars at the lowest possible cAst to sell when the demand Is highest. Why should he not adopt a aim- s liar system In operating his dairy? Domand for milk Is at Its highest in late fall and winter, and consequently prices are best at those times. It is a fact that milk production can be definitely planned to reach Its |>enk during late summer and early fall. If cow owners fully realised that what they give their cows to eat now will determine milk yield several months from now, not rann.v of them would rely on late summer pasture for their ration, because cows cannot got enough nourishment from-Hr to bring them into the fall feeding season in good eohdition. Dr. C. H. Eckles, Chief of the Division of Dairy Husbandry at the University of Minnesota, and one of the world s leading authorities, ' says In his book "Dairy Cattle and Milk Production": "In many localities, a dry period, often of several weeks, occurs In the middle or latter part of tho summer, and the pastures become short and Insufficient to maintain a full flow of milk. This season Is often the critical time of tke year for tho dairy cow. It Is probable that as much loss occurs in one year by lack of feed at thistime as occurs from Improper feeding during the winter season. As long as the cattle are on pasture and the field work 1r pressing, the tendency Is to let the cows get along tho best way they can " Practical experience has proved that a grnin ration with pasture throughout the entire summer pays for Itself many times over. Put it in even more Imperative that dairymen put their cows back on r full grain ration earlier In the fall than moat of tbem ore accustomed to dotng. Men who are operating dairy farms at a profit year after Cr have demonstrated this fact tmd doubt. I HI. AND DISAPPEARS Had Long Been on the Map* of (bo South Atlantic d The aurvoy ship Meteor, after a throe month*' voyage of exploration in the South Atlantic, touched at Cape Town a few days ago and her captain reported the disappearance of Thompson island, which had long held a place, in the atlases. It was a neighbor to Bouvet Island and the two have not infrequently appeared in reports as points on the routes of antarctic explorers or of whalers operating in the Southern seas,. Captain Spies of the survey ship said that he found Bouvet, but after cruising for duys around the spot whore navigators had oflbaerved Thompson Island and , finding no | "break in the face of the ocean" he was convinced that the island no longer exists. It hud sunk without leaving a trace, says the Nerw York Sun. Captain Spies' experience i? not unprecedented; many other skippers have come to port to tell of islands that dropped out of sight or of islands tfj^'suddenly appeared. Possibly it waiytiot a tradition, but ait historic fact, that a sailor of ancient Phoenicia brought the news to Egypt that "fair Atlantis," the, Utopian region that lay just outside the Pillars of Hercules and stretched far away to the west, had been swallowed up by the sea. That there was once such a land in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and America, Plato says he was informed by Egyptian priests, and he says that according to their statements it was a land greater in extent than Asia Minor and peopled by a powerful race that overran the North African coast. At the time of the Japanese earthquakes in 192.3 twenty islands along the coast of Japan disappeared and almost as many rose from the water. In that year two islands appeared off the coast of Cichin China, another rose overnight in the Azof Sea. At the same time the China coast lost its most picturesque small island, an island that had come up out of the sea a few years before and had fallen into the possession of Mala , Dahlak, the ? ML? .. I I most notorious brigand of tb? region. He turned it into * ><%? for hie band and raided eoaat town* to keep it in supplies and to furnish wives end slaves for his men. The natives prayed tftiat the sea would swallow up the accursed island. Captain Kenneth Lowry of an American ship.records the end of the story; as told by a Chinese captain. "This captain/' says the American skipper, "was passing the island and was trying to get u look at ^he brigand outfit when it seemed to hipi somebody pulled the rollers fronj under the island; it careened to starboard, straightened up again and dropped into the sea." Some of America's islands along the Alaskan coast arc shaky and uncertain. Bogoslof, one of the Aleutian group, in Bering Sea, when first seen by white merA waB a low, rocky point. . Then without a warping a volcanic peak shot up from its surface to the height of 3,000 feet and for years it continued to smoke in orthodox fashion. Just about the time the geographers had marked it in their charts the volcano blew its tops off and Bogoslof again became a mere pile of rock, washed by, the sea. There is another Berin Sea is-? land that would have a name if it would stay put long enough/ The Burteyoyis plotted this group and described- the island years ago. In 1908 a government cutter skirted the group and Jfound that the island had taken on an entirely new appearance; a peak had ^isen in its center and the land had doubled in area, When another party of geographers went to map the neny island the peak had disappeared and with it had sunk most of the island. When the American cutter Tanager came back to San Francisco two years ago from a voyage of research and investigation in the Pacific it reported that islands on the ship's charts could not be found and that there wore many islands the existence of i which was unrecorded. The Tana- < ger's people had searched for evidence of the fate of the Levant, which disappeared in one of the mystery disasters of the navy. It was on the Levant that Edward Everett Hale sent Philip Nolan in "The Man Without a Country" on hiu last. voyage. For forty years after tlye wreck leaTned men argued that the Levant struck the Roca Coral. But the Tanager did not solve the mystery of the Levant or of the treacherous coral islands. The islands may, too, have been engulfed in the sea. Now and then we lose an island of the Philippine group. Two-years ago one of the most beautiful of the Basilan group floated away. A party pf Americans on a 'round the world tour will always believe they sr.w that island adrift in thev{3outh sea. Captain Jonas Pendlebury describes that through his glasses he could discern no Human beings, but he could Bee that the trees were full of monkeys which threw cocoanuts at the whistling and yelling passengers. Captain Pendlelbury hailed from New Bedford and his word was never questioned. It! "Buffalo Bill's" Sinter millions of people ?11 over the -world knew William F. Cody as "Buffalo Bill," tout to his sister he was alvtays "WiHie." She survives at the age of eighty~three. She has made the journey from California, where she now lives to Cleveland, where there has been a -gathering of the Co^y family connection, numbering 100, from all over the country. It is their plan to build a' Cody' museum near Cody, Wyo./ dedicated to the memory of "Buffalo Bill," and preserving relics of pioneer frontier life, in which he had?so conspicuous a! part.?Philadelphia Record.
