Corn for silage i- ,,f.( . ut loo
K'een. As the giam .< ri??r the
feeding value of trie pjatst i tie reuses
rapidly. It is not wel., however,
to permit the corn to tipen fully
because as the moisture content of
the .plant decreases it beeotmes
more difficult to pack the silage
thoroughly. Therefore, where corn
is ensiled to ripe, there is likely
to be spoiled silage in spots where all
the air has not been excluded. The
best time to cut for siluge is when
the kernels have glazed and the husks
and a few of the lower leaves have
turned yellow.
In ensiling sorghum the plant
should be nearly ripe before cutting
for silage made from immature sorghum
is unpalatable and keeps poorly.
If the. crop being ensiled is too dry,
water should be added to obtain the
proper moisture- content and to
make the silage pack well in the silo.
Dry silage cannot be packed so as to
exclude air, and it will mold. The
water should be mixed thoroughly
with the silage, and may be applied by
running a steady stream into the
blower or by forcing it up into the
silo through a pipe or hose while the
silo is being filled.
It is essentia! that the silage be
well tramped to exclude the air, especially
along the walls of the silo.
It is best to keep i? high around the
wall and low in the middle until the
silo is nearly full and then keep it
higher in the middle. To pack the
silage properly two men are needed
in the silo. A distributor pipe should
always be used in the silo to secure
even distribution and settling of the
silage.
Caught Enormous Carp.
A Fort Lawn citizen in Lancaster
a few days ago reported the capture
of a><53-j}ftjwid carp near the Pettus
farm on Catawba river a few days
before. The great fish had been left
in an inlet on the Chester county side
by high waters and was discovered
by two fishermen, who, unable to capture
it went for help, and with the
assistance of three others landed the
obstreperous monster. ^It was not
learned what disposition was made of
the big fish, but it is natural to presume
that under the circumstances,
a fish market was established forthwith.?Lancaster

below Klgm, near the Gugory farm
a two-horse wagon, said to have been
occupied by Walter Mackey, and Bud
Duncan, colored man, was suddenly
seen approaching. Botii car and wug
on appear to have been occupying the
center of the road and although each
made a desperate last-moment effoit
to pas- safely, the two came
together in such a way that the tongue
of the wagon was thrust through
the wind-shield on the right side,
striking Mrs. Bowers in the chest.
Mr. Mowers, who was driving, sustained
a severe cut on the face and
other minor injuries. Some tourists
from Florida, passing just after the
accident, assisted in taking care of
the injured lady. She was put into
their car and brought to the residence
of one of the physicians in
Lancaster, but it was found that sho
was dead. It is said that Mrs.
Bowers never spoke after being hit
and it is thought by those who were
on the scene that death ensued a
shoi*t time following the accident, as
the right chest was crushed and a
deep cut was found on the throat,
made apparently by the broken
windshield. Mrs. Bowers was the
daughter of H. .P. Jlallman of
Pleasant Hill and Mr. Bowers is
a son of Walter Bowers, all residents
of the Pleasant Hill section.
Mrs. Bowers' untimely and tragic
death is greatly deplored, as she was
a very popular and useful young woman,
having taught in the schools of
the community and had been active
in the religious and social life of
Pleasant Hill. ??he was a member
of.. Pleasant Hill A. R. P. church.
The funeral services were held from
the late residence Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, Rev. A. K. Whitesides,
pastor of Pleasant Hill A. R. P.
church, officiating, and interment
was in Old Salem cemetery. Mrs.
Bowers is survived by her husband,
her father and step-mother, Mr. and
Mrs. H. P. Hall man. The Hollmans
were originally from Springfield,. S.

Pleasant Hill the past several years,
during which time the deceased had

Hovis, Jr., seven, son of T. F. Hovis,

the balloon they placed him in a car
and drove to a physician's office in

his life probably could have been
saved. It is supposed the balloon

-A buy's love of adventure lured'
J< c \S'illiitnisi, 15-year-old farm boy
if ( lift en No. 2, to his death by
ideet foiution yesterday afternoon.
Jesse grew weary of hoeing cot
Ion. Ihs eyes wandered frequently
from the monotonous rows of cotton
to a white tower which stood, a
few teet distant, an iinsistible challenge
to adventurous youth Suspend
i?d from the to wen were several high
Lens oi wires, carrying power for cotton
mills whose roofs glistened in
the distance.
Jc- e left his Id-year-old sister to
hoe cotton and set out on his last
great adventure.
The t??>y climbed the tower. One
of tie high tension wires, swaying
in th. breeze, swung against the
boy body. Smoke began curling up
from the- clothing with which the
death dealing wire hud come in'contact.
flesse's sister, watching him climb
the tower, saw that the boy no longer
moved nimbly about on his lofty
perch. She went closer and saw that
Jesse's face was strangely contorted.
Then she realized that something was
wrong with her brother. She summoned
assistance.
It was more than an hour later
that an electrician arrived and released
Jesse's seared and scorched
body. Jesse had died instantly, but
the pitiless current had continued to
race through the corpse that hung
from the tower. j
A.- sympathetic hands grasped the
lifeless body to release it from its
contact with the wire, Jesse's charred
clothing fell from his body. Elec-j
tricians said 3,200 volts had coursed
through Jesse's body.
Coroner John S. Turner investi-1
gated the tragedy. He. said an inquest
was unnecessary; that Jesse |
evidently wished to climb the tower
to learn something about the mysterious
things. that traversed the
wires stretching like tiny ribbons
across the field toward Spartanburg.
The field in which Jesse was
hoeing when he yielded to the impulse
to climb the white tower was
one wMch had been turned over to
the boy. lie was to have for his
own all the proceeds from the crop
he expected to raise on the field.
All spring and summer Jesse had
hoed and ploughed it industriously,
and lie planned to have money
enough in the full to enable him to
learn more about the unexplored legions
into which the mysterious wires
extended. Friday's Sf>artanburg

Tho girl's father stated, it was

about the dog's biting his child until
she began to show symptoms of
the disease. The girl had intervals
of saneness between the spells of the
disease, and said she knew that she
