a'sood growth of grass. The main
crops of the district are cotton and
corn, and the lamj* produce about
the avermpe yields lor this section
of the State when commercial fer
tilisers are applied.
Colleton county has never been
surveyed by the Bureau of Soils, U.
8. Department of Agriculture, and
no'classlflcation of the soils is to be
■ had. The soil of the greater por
tion of the district, consists of a
very light sandy loam underlain at
varying depths by a reddish sandy
3 clay, aMth a preponderance of sand.
This In general is the soil of the
central and upper parts of the> dis
trict. The soil of the lower portion
' is a sandy loam underlain by a red
" "or yellow clay containing some sand
and gravel. In parts the clay comes
quite near the surface. The soil of
'the branches is in some instances
composed almost entirely of sand
while - Jin others the clay predomi
nates. In general rhe upper part
would be classed as rather sandy,
and the lower part as a heavier soil,
mostly clay.
Rainfall.
The U. S. Weather Bureac main
tains a station af Walterhoro. The
mean annual rainfall there is 51.23
inches, fairly well distributed over
the entire year. The records show
that the heaviest rainfalls occur
during the mid-summer, when grow
ing crops are on the land, vegeta
tion abundant, and when evapora
tion is greatest. All of these far*
tors tend to reduce the rate of run
off from the land. The least rain
fall occur* during the spring and
fall months.
Natural Drainage.
The natural drainage under pres
ent conditions in this district is very
poor. In fact it is the lack of nat
ural drainage channels which keeps
the greater part of the district wet
nearly all of the year, and which
„ s brought about the formation of
the drainage district with a view to
bettering these conditions. It has
already been stated that the greater
part of the district is a Rat table
land into which the natural drain
age channels do not penetrate. They
rise at the edge of the plateau,
leaving the central part without
adequate drainage channels. From
the map it will be seen that Xeyles
Branch. Black Creek, Sandy Dam
Branch, Pringle Creek and Johns
Creek all rise near the ) center of
the district, but they do not extend
up Into the district far enough to
be. Of much benefit. They serve
only as fair outlets to the lands on
the edges of the district, though
eventually'the water from the cen
tral part slowly seeps toward them.
Neyles Branch, {{lack ('reek and
Johns Creek all flow south or west
into Croat Swamp; while Sandy
Dam Branch and Pringle Crook flow
sauthoast to Choosey Creek. AH «f
those watercourses are at their up
per ends but slight depressions in
th* 1 general level of the laud, and
are from 50 to 200 feet wide. They

• ^growth of uoderiitush. These
branches widen out and cut deeper
channels as the outlets are ap
proached. Their fall appears to !>.•
ample to provide good drainage
for all of the lands of the district.
Improvements Required.
This drainage district lies at tip*
headwater of nl| of the natural
drainage streams and no large chan
nel* will be required to carry off
the water. The degree of drain
age required at this time can be
■* most economically and effectively
secured by a system of small Open
ditches. Those ditches should be
^ constructed in al). of the natural
streams and tributaries, and should
be continued ! u them far enough
beyond the edge of the district to
secure adequate drainage for the
lands lying o n the edge of the dis
trict and prevent their flooding dur
Ing times of heavy rainfall. In or
der to reach ^the flat central part of
the district and to provide outlet
for these lands, these same ditches
should be extended up into the flat

WOMENS NERVES
Women, more than men, have excitable nerves, because
tiring work and physical strain tax their more delicate
nervous systems and bring premature age and chronic
weakness—unless treated intelligently.
Drug-laden pills and alcoholic concoctions cannot build up a
woman’s strength, but the concentrated medicinal food properties in
