Olemson College, July J?0 weeds should be allowed to produce seed around the ends of rows, en ditch banks, terraces, and fas dut-bl-Um-way places unless the farmer desk?a a big yield of these .plants along with his cultivated crop tthe next year, advises T. S. Buie, head Uf the agronomy department, Clemson College. "The best plan is to keep the weeds out and allow none t? produce seed," advises Dr. Buie. Among the most interesting facts of nature are the provisions made for the (distribution of seeds of all kinds. Many Of the worst grass and Weed pests have very ingenious devices to insure that the seed will be well distributed for the next crop. To the seed of some plants Mother "Nature has attached barbs "or hooks which catch on passing animals or the clothes of workers. The seed of other plants arc so light that they are borne by the wind or water to new fields. In these, and many other ways, seed are widely scattered fifcm the place where they are produced. The result is that some fields are Infested with weed and erase, even though the plants. were fiot allowed to mature ><*"i the-previous year. However, by cMtaVy ^etroyin, ? plant* before they produce seed wlu greatly eRxatnate these moisture and plant food robbing poets. - , - ? ---???-?

The principal address of the occasion was then made by former Governor D. C. Ileyward, who spoke foJ a little over half an hour, outlining his remarks, to some extent, because of the heat.

The former governor paid a trfbut* to the late Senator Butler, who 'JfriOv Hampton so intimately, and express ed regret that IButler was not living today :to make the address at the unveiling, instead Of himself. Mr. Heyward described the virtues and leadership of Gen. Hamptcm as planter soldier and statesman, and declared him worthy of 'being placed beside Calhoun in Statuary hall to represent the ;greatest :df Carolinians. Captured Large Tarantula.
