I fflljz ^amterg Heralts j KSTAIHJSHKD APKIfj. 1801. _ j Thursday, May 24, 1917. 1 The Herald management began to j get pretty uneasy last Thursday when the mill closed down on account of the strike. The Herald has an electric generator at the cotton mill, operated by the mill's engines, which supplies the day current for the plant. Of course our current stopped with the mill shutting down. The office happened to be flooded with an unusual amount of work, some of which had to be delivered on a certain date. Of course we were mighty glad when the mill started operations again. We are also glad that a settlement , was effected, for. of all times, we - - - - ' - i. MA.. 1 J Kr, . tnmK tms IS Uie worst mat guuiu uc j selected for a strike of any kind. A few days ago this dispatch appeared in the papers from Charleston. W. Va.: Every able-bodied male of West Virginia between the ages of 16 and -60 must work at least 36 hours a week under a law passed yesterday by both houses of the legislature, j The bill was urged by Governor j Cornwell as a war measure. Such a law has much to commend j itself, and it would not be a bad measure for every State to enact during the war. Loafers have no place in a nation that is confronted by a food crisis. Even though a person is financially able to refrain from work, somebody must work to make bread and meat for him, and he takes just that much food without giving anything in return for it except mon\ x ey?and one cannot eat money. And i there are a great many peppie wno manage somehow to live and ifever j give either money or work for the i living. Bamberg has some of both j classes, and the sooner they are put i work the better off everybody will be. ! The present agitation of the so- j called "reformers" is such small pol- j itics that it is hardly worthy of men-! tion, and we are surprised that some i of the leading newspapers are giving! so much free space to advertising it. j The thing is so absurd that it is | laughable. For any man, who boast- j ed on the stump that he would make j his enemies sweat blood and wished for all kinds of disasters to fall on ! him if he ever failed to "stand by his friends," to howl because some of his personal followers failed to be appointed to responsible positions by the man who defeated him, is to display anew a characteristic personality which South Carolina is fortunate to be rid of just at this time. The criticism of the governor for failure to raise a third regiment is another instance of smallness. The following comment by J. M. DesChamps?who is not a fool, whatever else one may think of him?expresses the matter pretty thoroughly: This same element in our State is not only loud in fauit finding with out ^ 'n?ir>n ie anuallv OldlC clUiiiiij.'Mi ai:v/u v vi t ic > ready to find fault with the admin- j iStration of our nation. Such con- j duct,is but little short of treason.! For the leadership of Mr. Wilson is | such as will unite our nation into one j solid citienship as it has never been ; united since its very founding, to say J nothing of the undreamed of bless- I ing he will confer upon the entire j world abroad. The present third regiment agitation going on is the cheapest politics I have yet witnessed in South Carolina. Because, when diligent efforts were being made in the recent sessions of our legislature to increase the State apropriation for military purposes those who are yelling for a third regiment now were strongest in their opposition to the proposed increased and necessary appropriations then. 1 was present and observed this, with keen pain to myself. I never felt so painfully humiliated for this loved State in my life as while observing the shameful lack of appreciation of and for our State military forces, and I expressed my humiliation freely to those about me. For I fully realize that the best of our laws are just so strong and no stronger than the organized, trained, armed forces back of them. The present howl only reveals the unfortunate political condition our State is in. It shows to us that we are still cursed with an undue amount of self-seeking politicians when we might be blest with a larger per cent, of self-sacrificing statesmen, who seek not their own good but the good of our entire State. Ju*t Like a Woman. **I see that a Kansas man has just married a spinster who owned over 1,000 chickens." said .Mrs. Diggs. " That's just like a woman," rejoined the man who was paying the freight for her. "If a woman can't get a mam by fair means she will by foul."?Life. HINTS FOR THK HO.MK (iARDKX. Still Time to Plant Certain Vegetable* in This Section. ft' yon have not already planted a garden, there is still time even in tin's region to grow some food, say specialists of the 1". S. department of agriculture. Not a day should he lost, however, in planting, as the most favorable planting period for most vegetables is past, and as the crops must be given an opportunity to become well established before hot weather sets in. Among the vegetables which still may be planted with good chances of success . are beans, nma Deans iootn uusn ana pole), collards. cucumbers, muskmelons. watermelons, okra. squash, and sweet potatoes. If you have already started a garden. but have not planted the crops named, you should lose no time in getting the seed in. There is. of course, considerable variation within the region for which this advice is given. It may well be that the possibility for planting successfully certain of the crops mentioned has passed in the more southerly sections. The advice is based on the latest frost dates for the section, and the variations in weather conditions from year to year also may influence planting periods. The following cultural suggestions are made for the crops* which may yet be planted with fair chances of success throughout most of this region : Beans. Plant in rows two and onehalf feet apart for either horse or hand cultivation, and three to four inches apart in the rows. A pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Lima beans, pole. Plant in hills three to four feet apart for horse or hand cultivation. A half pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Bush limas should be planted in rows two and one-half feet apart for hand cultivation, or three feet apart for horse cultivation. Space the s^eds six to ten inches apart in the rows. Cucumber. Plant S to 10 seeds in a hill, spacing the hills 5 feet apart each way, and thin to 2 or 3 plant's; or sow-the seed in rows four to five feet apart. When planted in rows, the plants should be about fifteen inches apart, but the seed should be sowed much thicker, the plants being thinned later. A haif ounce of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. 1. TViQ K110H Cities should oqudail. l J.IC uuo** f?tiw>vw be planted in hills four feet apart each way, and the running varieties eight to ten feet apart each way. One-half ounce of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row of either the bush or running varieties. Muskmelons. The culture of the muskmelon is the same as the cucumber except that the plants are usually given more space. Plant eight to ten seeds in a hill spacing the hills six feet apart each way. Another method is to sow in drills six feet apart and thin to single plants eighteen to twenty-four inches apart. Watermelons. The culture of the watermelon is the same as the muskmelon except that the plants require more space. Plant watermelons in rows eight to ten feet apart and thin to single plants three feet apart in the rows, or plant in hills eight to ten feet apart each for a hundred-foot row or for a dozen hills. Okra. The rows should be three to tour teet apart for the dwarf varieties and four to five feet apart for the tall kinds. Sow the seed a few inches apart and thin the plants to 18 inches to two feet apart. Seven ounces of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Sweet potatoes. It is desirable to have a row or two of sweet potatoes in the home garden. Set the plants in ridges 3 to 4 feet apart. Space the plants fourteen to eighteen inches apart. About seventy-five plants will be required for a hundred-foot row. Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts may be planted in the garden where they are to grow or in a seed bed for transplanting. They should be grown in rows at least two feet apart and about an equal distance apart in *T<X"?^v f. >1*411 Y\e\t Q n. tiie row. i iic s^iiuuis nm IIUI. pear until late fall. Leeks. Leek seed are planted like onion seed, in drills from fifteen inches to two feet apart for hand cultivation. or two and a half feet apart for horse cultivation. The plants should be thinned to about four inches apart in the rows. Parsley. Parsley is sown iD drills. A single drill a few feet in length will be sufficient for a family. Collards. Sow in drills eighteen inches apart for hand cultivation and thirty inches apart for horse cultivation. Thin to stand fourteen to eighteen inches apart in the row.

This is the answer of America to France's plea that the Stars and Stripes be carried to the fighting; front without delay to hearten the soldiers battling there with concrete evidence that a powerful ally has come to their support against German aggression. Announcement of the order followed signing of the selective draft war army bill by the president and the issuance of a statement that under ad-1 vice of military experts on both sides j of the water the president could not employ volunteers or avail himself of the "tine vigor and enthusiasm" of i former President Roosevelt for the expedition. The army lav provides for an ultimate force of approximately 2,000,-! 000 men to back up the first troops to go to the front. When the bill had been signed the president affixed his name to a proclamation calling upon all men in the country between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, to register themselves for military service on June 5 next. l>enionslvation in Drying Vegetables. i Dr. Frantz Lund, of the department of agriculture, lectured in drangeburg on .May 18, and gave demonstrations of the European method of dehydrating vegitables. Miss Parrott, head of the home demonstration work, secured Dr. Lund for a series of lessons to the county agents of the State. Eight women agents from adjoining counties were in attendance, and Mrs. D. D. Walker, w.ho has been traveling with Dr. Lund, assisted in the demonstrations. The scarcity and high price of tin cans, as well as flace mnfainprs makes this instruc ?? - ? tion very opportune just now, and I the county agents will be prepared to give these lessons to all club members. .Mrs. Faust, the Bamberg county agent, expects to have a canning institute in Bamberg June 14 and 15. As instructors she will have besides the State agents. .Misses Barratt, papier, and Yarborough, of Barnwell, Columbia, and Chester, respectively. The course will include simple canning, preserves, pickles, bread-making, and the new method of dehydrating given by the department specialists. Adjutant Gen. W.
