Sehilletter, extension hortfcultti^st; J. T. McAlister, exten-j sion agricultural engineer; and Alfred IvUtken, extension entomologist. Agronomy. ? Votch and Austrian peas are cheap. Use them to grow your next year's fertilizer. Quality in ginned cotton will pay. Hick clean, store dry, gin carefully, and top your market. There is phosphorous and potash left over in your cotton fields; plant oats and make use of it. ' Horticulture. ? Keep strawberry beds free of weeds and grass. Set some selected new plants. Plant spinach seed in late September for! winter and spring use. Sow turnips up to September 20, Japanese foliugo and Seventop for greena, and White! Egg for roots. Keep fall garden, crops well cultivated and fertilized.' Study varieties and arrange for trees for the home orchard for late fall , setting. Sow seed late in September for "frost-proof" cabbage plants. Agricultural Engineering.?It is not too late to build a trench silo. Clean, j oil and^storc cultivating machinery.] September is haying time. Get mow-j or and ruke in good condition. Spe-1 cial mower attachments will help handle heavy growths. Plan to build rat-proof grain storage buildings, [tight enough to fumigate for weevils. Inserts and Diseases!?-Clean out grain bins before harvest and be prepared to fumigate to kill grain insects. Plow under tobacco stalks and other crop refuse t<> destroy food and immature stages of insects. Remove dead and dying orchard trees and limbs and burn them to control insects. Knock olT all diseased fruit* after harvest to aid in disease control. I Prepare to treat small grains for smut control. Kequeen bees. Suggestions to live-stock owners from L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman; C. (I. Cushman. extension dafPyman; and P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman; ^ Animal Husbandry.?Wash out the farrowing pens with boiling water and lye before pigs are farrowed. Thoroughly cleanse the sow's udder with warm water and soap before the sows arc put in the farrowing pen. Try to raise as many if the pigs farrowed as possible, for larger litters are more profitable. Keep sows and young pigs | on territory which is not infested I with worms. ) ! Dairying.?.Sow small grain for 1 winter grazing; it increases the milk (low. Ktwd some grain daily. Dry fall pastures lack nutrients. Dry up I cows due to freshen in October to I allow ?i\ weeks' rest. Cull boarder I cows that won't make money for you this winter. Plan plant one-half to one acre of oats and vetch for-oarh cow. t<> be cut for hay next May. Poultry.? Dispose of early molting hens. Keep laying mash before hens. Select" earliest maturing pullets and put in permanent laying houses. Re sure the birds arc free from worms before moving them from the range. Where Thousands Of SwallowsCongregate J A very interesting sight can be seen every evening after sun-down, | just as darkness approaches, in the southwestern part of the city at the Sumter. Cotton Warehous Company offices. Here thousands upon thousands of swullows gather and just at dark begin to circle a large magnolia tree. As darkness gathers the swallows can be seen gathering, from every direction, increasing the thousands already circling about the tree. ^The circle gets faster and faster and gradually closes in and when good dark comes the swallows dive down in great droves and take their nightly perch, among the uppermost branches of the tree. As it gets later and later the myriad of birds gradually disappears aniQng the dark green leaves and in about 15 minutes from the time the birds begin gathering all have settled for the night. It takes them about two or three minutes to settle down after the first ones dive into the tree top. When the great drovo have come into their roost and are milling around, the sky is black with them. But already those who stay near the warehouse i say the flock has begun to dwindle, for many of tho birds are already leaving for their annual migration to other parts of the world, probably more southerly climes. A peculiar fact about these birds is thtit on clear days they leave their 'roosts shortly after day-break, but [ on rainy days they linger about waiti ing for the sun to come and dry them ' out blefore they sail away on their hunt for bugs, gnats and mosquitoes, j which make up their daily meals. . Thousands of the hard, undigested pnr.ts of the backs of bugs can be found under the roost in the droppings from the birds, indicating what helpful scavengers they are. i When all the thirds settle for the night in the top boughs of the magnolia. the limbs are so laden with the multitude of small specimens of bird j life that they bow far down under the weight. In fact many large branches, two and three inches in diameter, have been broken out dur| ing the night by the weight of the i nestling feathered tribe. ? Sumter | Herald. ( eneral Can't Win Battle Alone ; Hard times are home-made. No | mailer what misfortune or folly may i have caused their beginning the inj lluence that prolongs them is psycho| logical. i When that truth is spoken in the i ! presence of the jobless and the destitute, they answer bitterly: "It 'isn't our state of mind that makes us hungry." But these people do not make times1 hard. They are victims, not causes. The people responsible for tho continuation of hard times are those who practice unnecessary economy, those who hoard their money and those who ! wait for better times to make Mse of j their abilities and their capital. I The.se keep times hard for themj solves and for everybody else, and 1 the sole cause and explanation of j their conduct is their state of mind. They are afraid. They have lost their coiVrage and their initiative. Their one remaining ambition is to save themselves and mark time until the world is normal again. Effects do not change unless causes change. Have you forgotten tho cause of good times? It was the cheerful and universal pursuit of the dollar. The land was full of go-getters. Young men and old, rich and poor, trained and untrained, all alike were full of schemes to make a profit. They did not wait for something to happen. They made things happen. They were full of ambition. They ! i< \.i ...-;r - ^f r.uccc...'. j Everybody was cheerfully and hopefully busy getting ahead. > -Suppose they hnri quit with one a-; mrd in the midst <>f good times ;rd ' in fear and trembling had surrenu red to despair? What would ha e happened ? Ynti know the answer. Mr.-d time- would have come upon t'r.< m ? aver tvitfht. And that is precisely the cause of our present ill fortune. No land can have good tTWs wh.le everybody hibernates to await a miracle. Times don't make themselves They are made by men. The times are dull because the ; people are. I If the whole people will quit dreaming of manna from Heaven and ' each individual will recover his courjage and renew his eager pursuit of a dollar, times will he "normal" within a month. Normal times require normal effort ; to get ahead and be somebody.?
