K. Thomp! ^Hson. Mr. Thompso 1 is a very progres- j ^Hsive farmer and i ; practicing princi- j ^Hples that every 1~ rry farmer sliou . j p act ice.

Marly this Spring he bedded this land and turned the rye under. In the drill ho is applying good rich stable manure. Just as soon as the manure is applied he has a plow behind turning ione furrow. This will enable the j manure to remain moist and there iwll be ftttry little evaporation of the amount in the air, but v hat will be [given c-ff will be takm up by the soil. |0L.r'i'lcS the l'VP .wtiin>- -*i Kidmwlidl ' 01*0p he has had enough gl azing m h'?i live stock all the winter.

OtWARE OF THOSE FRUIT TREE AGENTS It has come to my attention that there arc several fruit tree agents travelling over* Horry County 'it this t/jlm. It is my honest advice to beware of these men. They might be a1, right, but in all probability their tre : arc not what they rcpies nfc. It was jrst recently that a farmer paid $28 for 200 Armoor River Brivei Hedge cuttings. You can buy all you want for $2.00 per 100. J use as goo d as tfhoso ho v as selling for 81).22 per hundred. Thoy usually change I'mm 21fc to 50c for peach trees, when you tjpn get the same for 10.-.

PRODUCERS WARNED AGAINST SHORT FIBRE Washington, D. C.?The Depart ment of Agriculture, on April 9, 1914, and again on March -2, 1915, issued j warnings to farmers of the South-j west against planting varieties el cotton that usually produce a staple of less than seven-eights inch in length, especially such varieties as are said to produce half seed and half lint. In view of the approaching planting season, the Department wish es to reiterate these warnings for the benefit of the entire cotton belt. The producers of cotton, for their own welfare, should heed this advice, and should exercise judicious care in the I selection of planting seed. The following reasons are given for 1 warning cotton growers against plan* ^ ing any variety that usually produces ! a staple of less than seven-eights inch in length: 1. Cotton of less than seven-eights inch staple is of approximately the j same spinning valve* .vs tlie hulk <?r I ho cotton of India. On eeonorr.ic j principles, the American product 1 should be maintained on a higher level <;t' intrinsic worth than that of Ir.~ j hia in order that the American c rop ; may not he forced to compete in the 'markets of the world with the cotton cf 1 ndia. j 2. Cotton of less than seven-eights inch staple is inferior to the avenge j amcrican quality, and localities that i produce such cotton in appreciable i quant'lien soon establish reputations for an inferior product. The price of I a!, cotton in, such markets will suffer l en accoun.. of the poor reputation of ' the market. I 2.* Competent cotton buyers discriminate against extremely short 1 stunk* whenever such cotton is discovered. They should be equally careful to discriminate in favor of I ! cotton of good staple. The farmer who produces inferior cotton is likely to find fh?it lii'j .... v iiii^ i / i i 11 ^ K) (i | J i i' r materially lower than quotations would indicate as its true value. The s< der commonly looks upon such disJ criminating r.s a penalty, while the buyer considers that lv? is pay in;.? the full value for an inferior commodity. 4. Under the common practice of the cot'on trade, the price of sput cotton is governed largely by future j quotation-3:. pi order that future quotation.: n ir?ht more accurately 1*": fleet 1 he value of .spot cotton, Congress, in the United States Cotton futures AC, provided a forjn of eonj tract, exomp from the tax imposed i hy the Act, on which cotton of cxM'Yuneh low erode or which is less than seven-eights inch in length of staple is not deliverable. This action by Congress was intended primarily for the benefit of producers. One of its results was the adoption by the New York and New Orleans Exchang es of the exempted form of future j contract, so that cotton of less than j seven-eights inch in length of staple I cannot be delivered thereon. This legislation in no way affects any sale of spot cotton. 5. As Die variety of seed planted is j the primary factor in determining length of staple, and as there are early maturing prolific varieties which produce a staple of at least an inch in length, no farmer or community is justified in planting an inferior variety, or in expecting the full market price for a debased article oi commerce. o Important gains of the Germans in the Verdun fighting west of the Meuse were announced bv the Gor I nmn war oflico; 1 HORRY COUNTY | g TRUST COMPANY ?

If this is not done his work is a failure. The population of the colony is reduced during the winter, especially where winterI ing conditions are not the best, ami ' this must be corrected if the colony j is to get the full honey crop. It is J poor beekeeping to have weak colonies at the beginning of the honey flow from which the surplus crop is obtained. I After brood rearing gets undo: way, bees need three things: Room for heavy brood rearing;, an abun dance ci' stores, and prptcetion. / j common, error is to crump the colon; i l?v failing1 to provide empty cells f i the reception of eggs. llach colon;! .should ultimately have the equivalent o1' at leas; eight I.angstroth frame: entirely full of brood, so that oven single 10-frame hive is scarcely largt era .ugh. at this season. Some bcckcep! ? j s "practice gv.ing a second hive bod.y ! dtu'irg t! is period of heavy breeding This is especially necessary for coi <?: ics thai have abundant stores. If in early spring the weather is suitable and if nectar is available, the bi o:> will add considerably to thci: hoards of honey, but they use it s< rapidly that it is seldom that an\ I gain in the stores occurs even duiinp I fruit bloom. However, since the j weather is uncertain at tnis season I the beekeeper should not depend to< much on incoming nectar to supph the needs of his bees. If they art short of slovr?K of-U *? ?' ?? ? > (lii/.l si'up made of granulated sugar am feed lavishly. This will ho stored b; the bees in tbo brood combs and used as needed. The sirup may be ha I water and half sugar, or thicker i: preferred. There is no better invest mcnt in beekeeping than to give abun dent supplies in the spring. ! Ilcos generate considerable heat it l rearing brood rapidly, for the temperature of the brood must he main j tainnd nearly at human brood heat .The better they are protected fronti I winds and the more insulation ti;e\ have, the easier it is for them to kee; the proper temperature and the faste; ! the build up. On some warm day the hives shoult 1 he opened and given a spring house j cleaning. At this time one wing of i the queen should be clipped so that I when swarming time corner, she cat not fly to the woods with the swarm. If any queen loss colonies arc discovered (having no brood) they should be united with colonies having queens This can be done simply by setting the qucenless colony on top. The stimulation to heavy brood rearing should occupy six to eight j weeks previous to the surplus honey 1 flow, and every beekeeper should know when that comes in his locality. If ho is a beginner, any beckeepci who is elder in the work can give that ; information. If a colony has a good, queen and plenty of empty celis for egg laying, is well supplied with stores, and is protected from cold and wind, one may expect a colony which is capable of storing the maximum crop. Having gone to all this trouble to get plenty of bees in the hive the beekeeper will readily see that hp should do everything in his power to prevent swarming. Swarming just before or during the honey flow is the greatest .1 ?? i . ] r. raw wick 10 a good crop. Experienc-1 c l beekeepers have worked out moth-1 od8 by which this can largely be prevented and every beekeeper should study these methods. E. K.

This Mr. McHaurin said appear ed to be the sentiment evcrywh re. Mr. McBauri.i said in par* ; "1 have just returned from Mev York, Washington a .id Uichmom where in company with Senator Banks I was discussing the mattrr < the further crd a reenter.

"Mr. Harding will make a speed Friday in Montgomery, Ala., in whicl he will discuss at length the statistical position of cotton, and also g'iv< some valuable information rro.m I'm British ambassador as to the .situatun abroad and the effect of the vnriow; orders promulgated by the British government relative to cotton. Mr Harding considers the statistical po siticn of cotton very strong, but o? every side I was urged to advise tin farmers in the present situation no: to plant cotton except as a surpie; crop, to make their fur.ns self-sus taining. Another thing that. 1 arn satisfied of is that the necessity of potash lias been very greatly exaggerated, and that much cf the land i South Carolina, by deep plowing ar.d 1 h? use of legumes, will continue U make cotton without potash. The i!..\ lands are the ones to which 1 refer.

The Germans have evidently ir.ade up theii minds not to fight a war of attrition, hut arc making the issue at Verdun, and from all that I coul I gather the fight along the Mouse now in progress occupies very much tlie positio . that the battle of Gettysburg did in the War Ketween the Sections. If the Germans lose this battle their oul\ hope is to make the most faavcrahk terms of peace that they can get, and, the reverse is true as to the French and the English, because this breach I in the linen will put the German army! between the French and the English j and open the road to Paris. Cotton and the War. "I find sentiment in the Nor<h prae i vicaly unanimous for the allies, except where you strike those of Gcr-j man descent. There is not nearlv so much division of sentiment north of the Potomac as there is in tho South.! There is a lingering fueling here that' England's contraband orders have been a great blow to cotton, and yet a careful study of the situation does! not bear this out, because the advance' last August which put cotton above 12 cents so as to give us a ^10 cents borrowing basis was strictly duo to the purchase of cotton by the British government, offsetting as far as possib'e declaring cotton contraband. These purchases were the result of j the negotiations between officials in Washington and the British ambassador. "With the federal reserve board discounting warehouse receipts at 80 per cent, of the value of cotton and the British government purchasing j heavily, cotton was bound to advance' WAR ON PORTl'OAL Thirteen Countries Now Engaged in tho War.
