in the county see to it that teachers
are employed in the schools who
can teach this very imiH>rtant
branch.
Whatever has become of that
series of good resolutions -adopted
at the last County meeting so en
thusiastically to write something for
this Department. We have not yet
received a single article. Perhaps
they have gone astray.
There are yet farmers in Colleton
connty who plant corn and other
crops ‘‘in the moon.” A study of a
good book on agriculture, and the
reading of good agricultural papers
will banish the delusion that the
o
moon has anything to do with it.
The earth Is the place crops are
grown, not the moon.
The anniversary meeting at Horse
Pen Friday afternoon was well at
tended, but unfortunately all the
speakers invited failed to show up
and the speech making feature of
the meeting had to be adandoned.
There was a good meeting held,
however, despite this fact. This is
one of the livest Union sections in
the county. Let other sections
emulate this example.
WALTERBORO LOCAL MEETS.
The Walterboro local held a very
interesting meeting at the court
house Saturday afternoon. There
was a good attendance at the meet-1
ing. Two new members were
initiated, besides the regular routine
of work.
On account of the busy season
being here, it was decided to hold

Fishburne what excuse have you to
make? Don’t you know if you were

anywhere in the county but what
you would have been there, and
made the welkins ring, but when the
members of a local Farmers Union
with their wives, daughters and
sons, to the number of almost 200
meet in a little social gathering not
a blasted one of you showed up.
Why, we would not invite you to a

we had a jolly good time, and feel it
was good to be there notwithstand

[“589” is a little bard on one of

regret that we could not be there,
but with our little boy very ill of
typhoid fever and our foreman laid
up with neuralgia, it was impossible
to leave home. We are sure our
friends will know <> it was not our
choice that we kept away. Now’,
Peurifoy and Fishburne should be
ashamed of themselves. We do not
see how they can face any of these
good people again.—Editor.]

POSTAL BILL PROHIBITS PRINTING
NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF
3 BUSINESS HOUSES.
The House Committee on Post-
offices and Post Boads, Washington,
^ has decided to include in the appro-
# I pnation bill about to be reported a
meetings only once a month from I M , u
no. U„ S^be^the ti™ ^
the 4th Saturday afternoon in each
month at 4 o’clock.
A resolution was adopted that an
effort be made at the next county
meeting to have a central picnic for
the union and invite some distin
guished speakers to be present sad
stir up the farmers as to their
duties.
The following delegates were
elected to represent the local at the
next county meeting: Bros. D. C.
L. Hiers, R. E. Jones, Jaa. E. Peuri

THE FOLLY OF COMPOSTING.
A great many farmers write to
me, evidently poor farmers, asking
about composting rich dirt and ma
nure and cottonseed for the purpose
of putting a Httle in the furrow for
ttttton. I know just what sort of
fanning those men are doing. What
cattle they have are feeding on poor
roughage all winter so that the
manure is little better than the
earth they uae to compost it with,
and they imagine that mixing it up
and wasting their cottonseed will
make it a mixture that will pay for
the labor. I say wasting their seed,
not because the seed will not add
more value to the compost than any-
Sibig else used in it, but because
they should exchange their seed for
meal and feed it judiciously with
good forage to cattle and make
manure of real value; and then in
stead of wasting time and labor on
it, get it out (m the land as fast as
made, and if they have time to haul
woods earth, spread that too.
You will never get your land up to
a more productive state by dribbling j
Department from furnishing
stamped envelopes containing the
names and addresses of the business
houses to which they are supplied.
Heretofore, for a alight additional
cost, it has been possible for business
firms to obtain stamped envelopes
from the Department which bore in
the left hand corner the printed name
and address of the firm. These en
velopes were especially in favor with
KanHng firms. For a number of
years various printers and publishers
throughout the country have been
protesting against the Postoffice De
partment’s invasion of the printing
field. At the expiration of the Gov
ernment’s present contract with a
Dayton. 0., printing firm, the Post-
office Committee would have the
practice discontinued. Hereafter the
Department will be allowed to sup
ply only the words “Return in
days to.”
The Department has made little or
no profit on the printing of envelope*,
the practice having been employed
mainly for the convenience of the
larger houses who purchase envelopes
in thousand lota.
DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL
Round. Mar. 28—Little Grace
Dodd, the three year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Dodd, died at
her home Sunday night and., waa
buried Monday afternoon at the Fox
burying ground.
Little Grace had been ill with
measles, which developed into pneu
monia, and the sad news of this lit
tle ones’ death caused aching hearts
in this community. She leaves a
little twin sister, who will perhaps
miss her more than anyone else.
