Treat Seed Oats For Smut.
Oat smut wan generally prevalont
In South Carolina last spring, and
every precaution should be taken to
avoid ita recurrence next year. The
time to effect thiB prevention is before
- the weed are planted. Oat ?mut m#y
reduce the yield of grain as much as
25 per cent, and also greatly reduce
the quality of the grain. %
A simple treatment using formaldehyde
is very effective and economical.
The (treatment in brief is as follows:
Thorougmly fan and screen the seed
to remove the light grainR and all foreign
material.
Mix one pint of formalin (40 per
-cent formaldehyde) with 10 gallons of
water for each 80 bushels to be treated.
Keep this solution- covered to:
prevent the escape of the gns fumes. ]
Sprinkle the solution over the "oats
with a sprinkling can, using one pint
to each bushel of grain, and mix rapidly
and thoroughly.
Pile the oats up and cover with
blankets, canvas or sacks.
After two hours remove the covering.
If the oats have been thoroughly
mixed thuy will have absorbed the
moisture enough to permit immediate
sowing in a broadcast seeder or drill.
If tho oats are not to he planted at
once, they should be spread out in a
thin layer and stirred occasionally to
allow the escape of the formaldehyde
gas.
40 per cent formalin can be pur-.i
chased at any drug store. For further)
information see the County Agent.
Charles P. Dow, former head of
the bankrupt brokerage house of
C. P. Dow & Co., which failed for
$000,000, and who faced trial in the
federal court of Boston this week, on
a charge of using the mails to defraud,
was let off with a fine of
$2,500, after he had entored a plea
of guilty.
Fertilizing Oats.
Clemson College, Sept. 27.?Tests
conducted by the South Carolina Experiment
Station indicate that a low
response to phosphorus and potash is
made by oats where oats follows cotton
that received a liberal application
of these two elements, and that the
yield of oats is almost directly proportional
to the amount of ammonia
applied. Where a constant amount of
nitrogen was applied, the variation in
phosphorufc_?rom 0 to 12 per cent., and
potash from Ofo 6 per cent, produced
no significantyutTerenees in yield.
Apparently, therefore, says J. I).
Warner, assistant agronomist, heavy
j applications of phosphorus and potash
to cotton are sufficient to satisfy the'
cotton crop as well as the following I
crop of oats. Ifowever, if only light
j applications of phosphorus have been
made to soils low in fertility, for best
| results it will be necessary to apply
100 to 200 pounds of phosphoric acid
per acre.i On very sandy soils, a light
application of kainit may be made
at the same time.
The oat plant, being very succulont,
responds readily to*hitrogen, and
enough nitrogen in a readily available
form should be applied at planting
to enable the plants to go into
winter in a vigorous healthy condition.
Large applications at planting
are subjected to leaching loss during
the winter before it is needed by the
plants in the spring, and therefore]
should be avoided. Liberal applications
of reddjily available nitrogen
should be applied just as spring
growth begins. The most common
practice is to apply about 100 pounds
of nitrate-of soda or the equivalent
of sulphate of ammonia per acre as
a top-dresser.
The first municipal public conveyance
was used in Nantes, France, in
182.r>. A few years later the omnibus
was introduced into London.

I !
Western City Goen Wild When Ball
Team Wins Panoant.
St. Louis, Sept. 24.-?With one great
roar of whl#tje?, bombs, horns and
other noise makers, including the human
voice, St. Louie late today burst
into its most joyoua-and whole-hearted
celebration aince. Armistice day
eight years ago.
Ihe Cardinals' pennant clinching
victory at New York had barely been
annouced by the radio than it was
broadcast by the ensuing uproar.
h aster than telephone or telegraph
could transmit, the L news apread
through the downtown diatrict and
most disinterested passersby?if there
were any?knew what it was all
about. They realised the Cardinals
had brought to St. Louis its first major
league pennant in 88 years and u
world series would be played here October
5, 6 and 7, probably against the
New York Yankees.
Passing motorists pounded their
horns and heads bobbed from the high
windows of office buildings. Sirens began
to blow, ten bombs were aet off at
the city hall and hundreds of pigeons
nesting there swooped out over the
streets.
From the doora of downtown build- j
ings crowd* poured forth. , From offices
came shirt-sleeved workers who
had not time to think of hats' or coats
or bother about the thunderstorm that'
began Just prior to the celebration. ~~
From the windows floated masses of
torn paper, confetti and ticker tape.
From everywhere appeared noise
makers?instruments which fans had
been slyly buying for the hour when
the victory would be known .
The downpour made no difference.
Bareheaded men and women, young
and old, behaved as if the sun were
shining brightly. . An hour later, when
the rain abated, hundreds of other
celebruters appeared and the showers
of paper were redoubled.
traffic at the principal corners was
in a hopeless Jam.-Policemen) trying
vainly .for semblance of order, ' were
unable to kep the automobiles and
street cars moving.
As the excitement grew, clerks
abandoned store counter^ and ran into
the street, to work no more this day
of days for starved fans.
Automobiles moving through the
business district were plastered like
crazy quilts with wet paper which
floated down through the rain. Some
audacious motor fans, disregarding
the law, opened their cut-outs and
back-fired their engines to add to the
I din. .
| In the outlying district the nqsvs
was picked up in a few minutes. At
1 the Greater-St. Ivouis exposition, in
Forest Park, where thousands of
school children were guests, there was
;-a roar of ehikiish voices when the
nqws came in.
Three hours after-the gaipt? the celebration
appeared to be just beginning
and it was predicted the fans
would continue to hold carnival until
the small hours of the morning, rain
or no rain.
In the midst of the excitement a
robber held up the downtown office of
the Pressmen's association and escaped
with $2,000.
Nothing could posibly have made
me happier than the winning oT XRo
pennant," said Sam Bradon, Cardinal
"president, as he attempted to acknowledge
congratulations . "When I
took charge of the club seven years
ago, I did it with the sole hope of winning
a championship for St. Louis. It
has been a long, hard fight, but that
ambition has finally been realized."
Breadon announced world series
tickets would be mailed to' purchasers
Monday. Tl#ro were 28,000 reservations
for each of the three days. It
was necessary to reject applications
for 50,0000 more tickets. Twelve thousand
unreserved bleacher and pavilion
seat tickets will be placed on sale each
day.
Eire Near Kershaw.
The. residence of B. I). Gardner, in
the vicinity of Sand Hill church, \v$s

defective flue. It was reported to u*
that very little of the contents of the i
(building were saved and the loss was!
covered with only partial insurance.

are enrolled in the National Educational
Association, according to a
report received today by J. W. Crabtree,

from J. C, Foster, the superintendent
of schools. ' In a letter to Mr. Foster,
acknowledging the report, Mr. Crabtr#e

National Education Association. It
means that your teachers realize the
necessity of solidifying the profession.
You and your associates are to
be Congratulated on this record. You
will soon receive the certificates
granted by tht Executive -Committee."
The National Education Association
was organized in 1857.. Through its
efforts the United States Bureau of
Education was established. It has
more than 100,000 members. It is the
largest professional teachers association
in the world and - the greatest
publisher of literature on education.
Among the planks in its platform of
service are: A competent teacher in
every public school position in the
United States; such inducements :.to
enter the profession as will attract
the most talented men and women;
the establishment of a Department of
Education with a Secretary in the
President's Cabinet; and ratification
of the Constitutional Amendment authorizing
Congress to regulate child
labor. '
Killed in Te Great Storm
Walter S. Cauthen of Dry Creek
was in Lancaster Tuesday atid stated
that he had received a telegram that
morning from John W. Ingram at
Hollywood, Fin., conveying the news
that his son-in-law, H. G. Luther, was
killed in the great storm a day or tfvo
before, but that other members of the
family were safe and well. Mr. Luther
married Miss Mary Ingram, sister
to Mrs. Cauthen, and1 was an extensive

Jones Gets Phomoted.
A Punta Gorda paper of recent date
carries the following news note about
J. E. Jones, formerly a clerk in the
Carmden postoffice:
"A changp in the clorical force of
the local postoffice that will go into
effect Monday involves the transfer
of J. E. Jones to the Sarasota post
office and the substitution in his place
of C. S. Brown of Tampa, who, with
Lee Rhode, will be in charge of the
stamp and delivery windows. The
transfer of Mr. Jones is in the nature
of a promotion, whereby he gets an
increase of salary; othferwise> the patrons
of this office would make a vigorous
complaint, for -his very courteous
and efficient service has made him
enviably popular. Mr. Brown brings
high testimonials, and will, no doubt, .*
soon win his way to public favor.
The present force of clerics,* however,
will be totally inadequate to the de-^
mands of the tourist season."
The total number of deaths so far
accounted -for due to a hurricane that
swept El Carnacion, Paraguay, ' last
week,'is 198. ,

DON'T STARVE
/ THEM TO DEATH?
tg||HE only reason a dairy cow does not
HUl starve to death on pasture is because the
summer is not long enough!
Hie practice of turning the herd out on pasture
to shift for themselves is neither profitable nor
economical.
To furnish the necessary protein for the
greatest flow of milk during the grass period,
the entire herd should be fed a regular amount
of Alfocorn Milk Maker.
One pound of Alfocorn Milk Maker to every 5
pounds of milk a cow gives a day should be
fed to cows on pasture.
It is the best way to double your income.
