"Take heart ngaln," "Don't give up
the ship," -'.Never say die," "If at flrat
you don’t succeed trr, try again."
That's the best comfort and advice
that wo or history can offer to olir
farmer friend* whose corn crop* have
been more or less damaged by the l,»ng
lasting drought. Much misfortunes
have happened In the past, for history
repeats Itself, and pf&pln survived and
prosparpy eat»e again The books are
full of description* of such occurrences
from the tliys of Joseph and Pharaoh
Very much nearer to u* are the un-
prlnjvd yet real experiences of some
people well remembered and others
still living and in the fore front of
agricultural activity.
The tncu i f today and nett year
should be equal at least to those that
went through and won out over worse
situations. Contrast the seamed fscr
i f that part < f Month Carolina over
which rtbertnan’s vandals passed in the
Wit.ter of IV'il and earlv 3prlng of Isfift
—-tjtillp, gin*, habitations, fence* In

lended dollars, no merchants to make
advances, yet the farmers of !!*&» se
cured fair crop* by feeniug their work
• tuck on ne and oats lhat had escaped
the ruin of war. With all the depriva
tion* of that year they were aa hardy
a• pioneer* and as happy as a defeated,
dl-trcaseil people could possibly be.
We remember very distinctly the ex
perience of a trooper of the Third
South Carolina t’avslry who In l*(>.i
pastured his charger in his rye Vld
gave him a bundle of rye for the din-
ner meal apd in the fall tCled the barn

We have heard rt hably of how will

occasional dry vear* of peace. Lot ns
tell you a couple of these all true stories
this morning :
There were two beginners in farm
ing, not ?t ry near neighbors but both
men of sterling qualities, levi 1 headed
ludgment and the courage to face dif
ficulties, who bad In the commence
ment of their careers, in different years,
quite similar experiences: The late
( apt. W J. Sander* of hot.ored mem
ory lacked a sufficiency of corn to car
ry his stock safely through a scarce
year So he sowed rich patches in rye
ami when it was tall enough for nac
would have it cut anti fed to stock,
sparingly until they became accus

keeping unusually sleek and efficient
all through the work season.

C tonties ami the adjacent edges of Ai
ken, Oraage&org. Colleton and Haiup-
ton Capt. J. A. .Tehklus of Kline is
known by his life long reputation as
man af the strictest reliability, with a
heart full of sympathy for his fellow
men and ever ready to give them the
benefit of his-well bsl meed and method

failure from dlsaptMdntlng aeasona in
the early yorra of his 1 fe as a farmer
he choaa a 65 acre cotton leld for this
experiment, in the fall be sowed oat*
In strips three cotton row* wide

three row strips two rows in whloh be
planted corn the following Mpring. He
in trie a splendid oat crop and after it
was cut sowed peas which produced a
yield that astonished and delighted a
Urge neighborhood and all passer* by.
The corn crop wa* a full one. Had all
the field been planted In that grain it
would not have produced a larger nutn-
her of bushel*. In the fall be allowed
the ^jand* to pull up and thresh out the
pea vine*. These vines were left ou
the jknd with the idea of having them
burrled In the Spring, but the Winter
ralna had *0 fille j them with moUture

bad the vines hauled into hi* lot where
they were tratuped down by stock and

TO OUR BOY KKADKRM.

Ofie must go away from home to
hegr the newt. Last week we learned
m^re through a report of a fourth of
Jilly speeoh In Chicago by Vice Presi
dent W . L. Park of a big Illinois rail
toad of the raising of ’223 bushels of
com on an acre by Jerry Moore, the \y
year old North Carolina immigrant
boy to South Carolina than w* had
found out through the eight months
reading of South Caeolliia newspaper*.

or we don’t know what the term gen-

Hare is the account aa the fact* were
told by Park : It too* Jerry two y-ara
to make that crop. The fir**. Winter
he hauled out of the swamp* two him

spread it over the acre Aa an acre

load of I hi* rich earth on each (d it of
the acre containing 21 1-fi square yard*
Measure off a apace on the ground six
yard* long and four yard* broad and
you have very nearly (he «!jte of eaiVi
plat lhat received a wagon load of rich

The second Winter Jerry decided to
try for the corn prizo. Mo he dived in
to the swamp again and hauled out
three hundred w agon I >ad* more of
rich earth and spread that on the acre
—a wtgnn load on each 10 2-15 square
yard*, or to every plat t small fiartion
longer than four yard* on each of iti
four sides. Then he top dressed the
acre with forty-live hnd’slifff manure,
making a total help of ulo wagon load*
of rich earth and manure on the acre,
a load to less than each plat of 9 square
yard*. Then the land w*« broken II
inches deep, corn planted and with
abundant rain a top notch crop made.

hays been only H deaths there from that
