While many have ceased to use fire and instead call to their aid the stalk cotter, too large a number are still burning them. This year we have seen hundreds who have cut their cornstalks and have used the hay-rake to gather them into wind-rows that they might bum them. These farmers, no doubt, congratulate themselves that they have dis covered a Cheap and easy method of getting rid of' their stalks. We think, however, that in the case of the hay-rake, it is putting this useful tool to a most un worthy purpose. Now let us get two facts in our minds:. 1. The Southern soil, from the very nature of our cropping system, is very deficient in hu mus, aiid hence needs all we can incorporate into it We want to fix in our minds— 2. The actual money. loss. The fanners who bum stalks as a rule are those least able to bum money, and this is what they annually do. Here are the figures: 2.000 lbs. cornstalks are worth in actual fertilizing material $3.00 The vegetable matter or humus given to the soil is worth 2.00 To evenly distribute 2,000 lbs. over an acre or more will cost 1.00 $6.00 yield lACIEI lANUFACTlIEINI COHFANY, 8lKX;Eii*ORS TO GEO.

We know full well how naturally our people have drifted into this habit of burning, which has re sulted from opening up a new country. But, burning stumps and brush is one thing and grass and stalks another. We should know when the time cumes to halt in an evil and wasteful practice. A great many think the first thing in the spring is to sally forth with torch in hand aniHuirn every vestige of vege table rrilru^r they can Hnd. They think this is"tke first thing to do in beginning their preparation for a crop. If this apjiHes to you burn vegetation on your place, you are burning up mbney. If you must rake the stalks up. haul them into your horse-lot and allow them to be transformed into manure and then go into the comi^ost heap. They will not only ret and make manure, but absorb many a dollar’s worth of liquid manure that would otherwise be leached away. In burning up a ton of stalks $2.00 worth of nitrogen alone is set free, the very element of plant- food we pay so dear for in our fertilizers and nitrate of soda. Peabody Board of Wkrthrop College it to hold a sboMBer School for Teachers at Wiathrop College during the four weeks be ginning June 21.1911. The faculty is now being engaged 'and the courses arranged. In a few weeks a complete circular of information may be obtained by request directed to i Pres. D. B. Johnson, Rock Hill, S. C. Before the rural schools dose, however. 1 wish to direct the specie! attention of the rural teachers and trustees to the advantages of the Summer School. Many of the rural teachers of South Carolina have been denied the privilege of college courses and professional training for teaching. In n peculiar sense the Summer school for Teachers is the Normal College of the country teacher. It is Here only that we have opportun ity to come into living touch with educational principles and methods, to exchange ideas, and to form the friendships which break the prof sional isolation of the rural teacher. In addition to the usual courses in the elementary and secondary sab- jects, the Summer school has ar ranged to offer certain courses designed especially to aid the rural teachers. Among these will be inclut’ \ ed the following: 1. Special Problems of the Rural School. 2. Special Methods and Devices tor the Rural Schools. 3. Rural School Agricultural and School Gardening. 4. Domestic Science tor Rural Schools. 5. Practical Manual Training for Rural Schools. During the aeaaion there will be held a Conferece on Rural Life and a Conference on County Superinten dents of Education. The coat of board, including room and light, will be $18.00 for the whole term (four weeks;) $5.00 a week for time less than the whole semion: and $1.00 a day for less than a week. A matriculation fee of $5.00 to cover the four weeks work will he* charged. Teachers should engage rooms at once. In my opinion a school district could make no better imnstment than to encourage in sdustantial way the attendance of teachers on the summer school. An increase in salary for next year conditioned on attendance at the school would enable the teacher to take the course without expense and would yield large returns to the district in in creased efficiency.
