JOHN WILKKS BOOTH
Official Records Prove That He Wan
Shot to Death By Soldier
There have been many persona who
claimed to know Booth escaped and
lived in various parts of the United
States, and there have been men who
have claimed they were Booth. All
these tales have been discredited. According
to authoritative information,
Booth was shot and mortally wounded
by Sergeant Boston Corbett, of the
I6t)h New York Oavarly, at 3:15 a. in.,
Wednesday, April lid, 18<i5, when he
tried to escajie from a burning barn
on a farm of a family named (iarratt,
near Bowling (ireen and Fort Royal,
Va., where he had hidden after his escape
from Ford's Theatre, Washing.
ton, where he had mortally woqjided
President- Lincoln at 10:20 p. m., April
14, 1H05. Booth died two and a quarter
hours after lieing shot, The bullet
from the heavy pistol in the hands
of Corbett entered Booth's head just
i below the right ear and came out
about an inch above the left ear. The I
body was secretly buried in a grave
under t'he stone floor of a cell in the |
arsenal side of Washington penitentiary.
After four years the body was
disinterred and reburied in the Booth
family plot in Cireenmount cemetery,)
Baltimore, Md.
The records of CJreenmount come1
tery show that John Wilkes Booth
was buried in the Booth family plot!
there on June (?,
According to t'he records of the;
Maryland Historical Society, Booth's
body was taken to Baltimore from
Washington on February I* of the!
same year and was kept in a vault at |
(ireenmount until final interment.
"The family fully identified the
body as that of John Wilkes Booth,
all statements to the contrary notwithstanding,"
a statement from the
records of the historical society declares.

Fertilizer Tests
I Are Suggested
U-I'b find out which fertilize we
| need most ami which we need least on
| various kind* of soils and crops. It
is suggested that in fertilizing and
planting our crops this year, we make
.some teats with each crop. For instance
in planting cotton it is suggested
that a farmer set off rows,
short rows preferred, and usq three
rows as a "check plow" which receives
no fertilizer; next three rows
receive only acid in the customary
amount; next three rows receive only
potash; next three only ammonia.
Then try various combinations of two
fertilizers, such as acid and potash
with no ammonia, also potash and
ammonia with no acid and so on.
Be absolutely sure, however, to
stake off each set of rows and keep
a definite record on paper. Then
when the crop is harvested, the yields
should be. carefully weighed ami the
weights carefully entered on your record
sheet.
The same should be done in case of
corn small 'grains and other crops.
This will 'be very valuable information
when you go to fertilize the
next year.
Your county agent will be glad to
cooperate with any farmer on this
matter. (let your copy of Extension
Bulletin on "Home-Mixing of Fertilizers."
It is not reasonable that 8-3-3
would be the best for corn and cotton
and legumes and grains and garden,
whether on sandy soil, red clay soil,
or rich bottom soil. loot's find out
just what is really and truly needed
and save the money we have been
spending for that part which is not
needed.
After running these tests 1 think
we'll find that we've been using too
much acid and too little potash on
sandy type soils, and too much pot-,
ash and maybe too little acid on red
clay soils, etc.
Let's study the business side of
farming in 1U33 as we've never
studied before, suggests Henry P.
Green, the county agent.

Sericea Lespedeza.
This is a new perennial legume
plant introduced in the United States
from Asia in 1924. It has succeeded
ieyond all expectations. It will make
uxuriant growths on poor or medium
soils and even on acid soils. Experiments
show that it makes greater
hay yields than alfalfa, red clover or
the other Les<pedeza&. It makes very
heavy yields of seed.
Serica Lespedeza has been, tried in
Kershaw county and has succeeded
sufficiently that I now recommend
our farmers making limited' plantings
this year. Farmers planting now will
probably be able to sell to their
neighbors or others at a nice profit.
Seed sold last year at $20.00 per
pound, but good, high quality seed
may be' purchased this year at $1.50
per pound.
Serica should be planted in rows
about 30 inches wide, seed covered
about 1^8 inch deep, using from 3 to
4 pounds of seed per acre.
Fertilizer, lime and: inoculation are
not necessary.
Serica is a very prolific seeder,
yielding from 200 to 400 pounds of
seed per acre the first year from row
plarvtings and more heavily the following
years. Seed yields up to 900
pounds per acre by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture at Arlington
farm. The seeds mature late in October
and apparently are not injured by
early frosts before harvesting seed.
Serica will probably have its greatest
value as a hay crop. The seed
are very valuable now and will probably
continue to be valuable for some
years.'
Birds have been found to thrive on
Serea seed in winter and sportsmen
have found them valuable and desirable
as partridge feed. Owners of
estates are using Serica extensively
in, connection with bird development,
the seeds and pfiants being left stand-,
ingin the fields and the birds feedinf
at will during winter.
