What is the matter with Walterboro? The town is not exactly dead, but it hes enough life in it to keep ol the vnltuns when compared with the?® other pro gretsive towns. We are afraid the citi zens lack tint concert of action that remits from union. We attempt to achieve alone what can only ba accom plished by all working together. * Let us see acme of the things Walter boro needs end ho\v_ we could obtain them: 1. Better railroad facilities. Remedy: Orgaszied effort on the part of all the 1 business men. 2. Better roads leading from and into town. Remedy: Bonding the oonnty I* the for 9109,000 at bast for bettor roads Spartanburg oonnty has Just bonded herself for $100,000 for the same parr poos. This oould be dons by concerted action oiall the business man. S. Better school facilities. Remedy: Bond the school district for 915,000 to erect a modern building. This can be accomplished by concerted action oa the part of the baalnaos men or by the board of trustees. 4 Waterworks, electric lights sad batter stoats. • Remedy: Bead the town for $50,000 or $75,000 and pat them la Thte could be accomplished by all the badness men working together. 5 ▲ Badness League or Commercial Club.

The Burly Amber u>rghutn aud Its other forms, as Im proved Amber and Barlieet Black, still remain tbe earliest varieties known in this country, where they have been cul tivated for nearly forty years. They require 70 to 100 days to reach maturi ty. the time varying according to the latitude, season and soil. | Many different methods of preparing the soil for sorghum are practiced In various parts of the country. In gen eral. It may be said that tbe laud should receive essentially tbs same treatment as If It were to be planted to corn or cotton. Tbe time and depth of plowing will necessarily 4sry, accord ing to the climate, season and char acter of the soiL As a general rule, sorghum should be sown later than corn. It should not be sown until the soil has become quite warm. Otherwise there Is danger of losing much of tbe seed. Even If tbs seed remains uninjured, germination takes place only slowly nod unevenly, and growth Is very slow when the weather Is cold. Weeds are likely to overtake tbe young sorghum, and where It cannot be cultivated they make replanting necessary. Uneven germ Inst Ion and growth mean uneven maturing, which makes It impossible to harvest the crop to the best advan tags from the standpoint either of the labor required or of the quality and quantity of the resulting forage.— Carleton R.

At thl* point tbe distribution of these nut trees should take a northward turn on tbe west aide of the Alleghany mountains, where they should not be used south of Ken tucky or farther west then Colorado. The hickory will not thrive in northern Iowa, northern Wisconsin, Minnesota or in tbs Dakotas. The black walnut, however, may be planted over the southern part of Mln- ueeota, eastern South Dakota, eastern Nebraska tnd Kansas. Personally 1 believe that as a rule It would be better to select long lined shade trees then to attempt to com bine fruit production with shade airi beauty. The following list of shade trees would, in my Judgment fulfill the re quirements better than tbe fruit end nut list: Elms are desirable, but do not give as dense e canopy as do the maples. __ ^Jn New England and tbs middle states the sugar maple is one of tbe most de sirable and extensively used shade trees. If a shade more dense than that given by tbe sugar maple Is de sired, tbe Norway maple may be plant ed Instead. It has long been considered one of tbe finest shade trees we hare about Washington. From Washing ton southward to the Carolines a vari ety of shads trees may be employed, such as tbe sliver maple, which Is per haps the least desirable of the maple family. The sycamore has a natural distribution throughout this whole ter ritory aad ia hardy and beautiful. The oaks offer a number of good shade trees, although some grow slowly. In this family the red oak, the willow oak and the pin oak are all desirable for roadside use outside tbe territory fn which the lire oak thrives. In my Judgment, there la no tree which comperes with tbe lire oak for shade and ernacnent tn regions south of tbe northern latitude of Carolina. This tree might be used to tbe exclu sion of every other throughout the southern part of tbs United fitates, be cause It Is typical of that region. For Califoruls the pepper tree will perhaps supersede everything else as 3 roadside tree, while In Florida the camphor tree might well be used as a substitute for the popper tree of Call fornta.
