Wanther Forecn.t. Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau, Washineton, D. C., for the week be ginning Wednesday, July 14: The week will be one of generally fair and warm weather, except that scattered thundershowers are prob able. The distressing automobile accident at Blackville Saturday night, in which one man lost his life and three others escaped death only by a miracle, brings home to us the absolute need of regulating traffic on the public high' ways. While the collision was probab ly unavoidable under the drcumstanc es, concerted action on the part of the automobile owners and drivers of Barn well County may prevent any further loea of life. Being an automible driver ourself, we know what a temptation it is to “hit It up" on a smooth stretch of road, bat ao driver should be allowed to set himself up aa a king of the road and arrogate to himself the sole right to travel the public highways. He ahouM Without rhyme or reason in facC but relying strictly db “intuition,” Tbe Greenwood Index makes tbe prediction that the European war will end before the year is out Now, if the editor of our esteemed contemporary were a woman we might put some confidence in his intuition, but aa it is we can only hope be is right. Some men are such deyer liars that they can even explain to the satisfaction of their wives where they have been.— Ex. Isn't it possible that the wives have so much regard for the feelings of tneir better halves that they are. clever enough to pretend to believe that they are satisfied with the Explanation? If the United States and Germany go to war, we want to say right now that we are ready to fight to the last English man, Frenchman, Russian, Italian, Bel gian, Servian, Montenegrin, Japanese, and whatever other nationality happens to be mixed up in the scrap at the time of the declaration of war. There’s considerable difference in the meaning of the words “satisfied" and “contented." The United States Government is satisfied that Germany has replied to the President’s last note, but it is not contented with the answer. Be it said to the^credit of all South Carolinians that no matter how out raged they may have felt over some of the official acts of a former governor, they never attempted mob violence against the object of their wrath. 'noTSTanoweiito makeKiaaietf"a men- ace to others by pasting approaching vehides at aa unreasonable speed, nor should be be allowed to make of him- eeif that most contemptible of all thing*—a “road-hog”—forcing others to either put their cars almost in the ditch or mo the risk of a collision. What is needed is an automobile aa- sociation, composed of the owners and drivers of machines who are determined upon making travel on the public roads safe and sane. The object of such an association should be, first, to induce its members to observe the rules of the road, which after all resolve themselves into nothing more than common decency and a due regard for the rights on one’s fellow man; and second, to report all violations of such rules to the proper officers of the law. The People, therefore, calls on all who wish to safeguard their own and other’s lives to band themselves to gether for their mutual protection. Our columns are open for a full and free discussion of this question and we pledge our support to help make such an organization a complete success.

What about a machine to resuscitite the dove of peace? "A pessimist is one who believes that all eggs come from cold storage," observes the Chicago News. And by the same token an optimist is one who believes that all eggs are fresh, yard- laid. South'Carolina politicians no doubt hope for a cessation of hostilities in Europe before next summer, otherwise they will have a fat chance of getting on the front page. The last German note, not having the endorsement of the American people, will probably go to protest. Says a fashion note: “Short dresses and nothing else will be worn this season.” Wow! Is it against the law to “tip" the sca'i in South Carolina? Om b tbst tbs Com YUM is from S to 28 Poromrt. (J. C. Barksdale, County Demonstra- ’ fidi AgenL) You cannot afford to pull fodder. Stop and consider the matter—begin to count the cost—and you'll conclude that the practice does not pay. We do not attempt to deny that fodder Is a good forage, but it is an expensive one when pulled in the usual way. When you begii to count the cost you'H find that pulling fodder doesn’t pay because it decreases the corn yield per acre from 5 tp 25 per cent; it lowers the vi tality of the seed corn for next Spring’s planting; it is a better plan to harvest the entire crop for silage, because you can get more forage and cheaper forage from sorghum, and you can .get better forage from cow peais; and soy beans planted in the stubble lands. If you have not done so, it is not too late to sow cow peas and soy beans to stubble lands. A few days of this work will pay you better than all the fodder pulling you ever will do. These le- gumeS*ays are rich in protein, the best of hay foKwork stock, and the plants are soil bunders. Sorghum (o ange) planted now in the foot rows Apd fertilized with 200 pounds standard fertilizer will yield more forage than anvother plant you can grow. Remember tfrat it is better than cotton seed hulls, and the man not hrving enough cattle to justify a silo should plant from 1-2 to ft-4 of an acre for each cow he expects to winter feed. Begin to count the cost and we be lieve that you will agree with the Pro gressive Farmer that pulling fodder is “a pretty poor sort of business." If you believe you can afford to pull fod der, we suggest leaving a dozen rows unpulled; then at harvest time ac curately measure the corn from an equal number of stripped rows and compare with the yield of the un stripped rows. C*v«r Crop*. The prospects of a large acreage be ing seeded to rye for a winter covering for the soil and for turning under for succeeding crops next Spring are ex ceedingly bright. The Abruzzi rye is the favorite plant for these cover crops. It is best to sow the rye after the first picking in September. Sow from one peek to one-half bushel per acre and plow in with a large sweep. The cover crop can be grazed to advantage, but all stock should be kept off tbe land when it is wet Lands that have here tofore been bare during the winter months, losing much of the nitrogen Tbe University of South Carolina Of fers a Teacher’s Scholairship to one young man from each county.

And so the stuff goes into the waste basket. : —Newberry Observer. The exposition, managements had money to spend with the magazines in advertising, but they dished out the free stuff to the county newspapers. Free plate was furnished but what pay was there for the space occupied? From the appearance of our exchanges, ,however, the management made a good guess that free plate matter would be iaaerted gratuitously. And the editor of the Observer must have overlooked a half page of it in hia own newspaper. _ J —Bamberg Herald. — The People was favored withan offer of some of the free piate in question •ad when we politely suggested that we be paid for our space, we received a. highly impertinent letter ,/rom the "advertising manager” of thfe exposi tion.

It is wrong to lay-by cotton at an early date though many farmers seem to wish to do that very thing. Cotton should be cultivated until many bolls are mature and to lay-by the crop a considerable time before maturity is to take chanches of suffering heavily from drought. Shallow cultivation is one of the farmer’s most effective ways of saving moisture in his soil. It pays a dust blanket over the soil and the mois ture is unable to evaporate through thia dust blanket. The blanket, or mulch, is destroyed when the ground has baked hard or when it rains and it must be renewed by cultivating af ter every ram. There is no wisdom in leaving cot ton to shift for itself during the latter part of its growth. If cultivation stops and the crop is laid-by, the soil may lose its moisture, a drought may follow, and the cotton will suffer. Clemson College is advising shallow cultivation of cotton until maturity, to prevent loss of moisture and to help to prevent the fruit from falling.
