AUTUMN GARDENING IN OUR SOUTHLAND Many Sections Suited to Vegetable Growing in The Fall Season MAY PLANT SEEDS TILL IN NOVEMBER .Farmers May Have Fall, Winter and Spring Vegetables For Use. Home gardeners in many sections | <of the South and Southwest where! crops have been gathered or are now j .nearing maturity need not reconcile' themselves to the existence of bare or unproductive land from now until next spring, according to garden specialists of the department. They may plant seeds from now until October or November and should, as a result, have fall, winter, and spring vegetables. The successful fall garden is| a possibility with nearly all vegetables grown in spring and summer, j except in areas of high altitude and' i.i the more northerly portions of the' region. T a.: _ r 1.1 ci 11 i __ in many secmuiis ui uie ouuin, ujniato plants have succumbed to the strain of high temperatures of dryness. In some localities they will live and continue to bear until fall, but in others they will not survive. New crop should be plunted now, and may be profitable to try the experiment of planting both in the open ground where the plants are to re-1 main and in frames for transplanting. The frames or beds should be located in a relatively cool, shady place. The same plan of field and frame planting may be used for cabbage seedings. With this crop, promising results have already been obtained by planting several seeds in a hill and thinning to one plant. If the field planting should not survive, however, in some instances, the grower, it is pointed out, is protected by having on land the frame-grown plants. Ordinarily the seed planted direct to the field will produce the earlier type. Among the vegetables which may bo planted <xL practically any time during the summer, with fair assurance of success, are beans. Bush aquash may also be planted even in the hottest weather if they have not been made a part of the garden at an earlier season. With the beginning of August practicaly the entire list of ordinary vegetables is open to the fall gardener for choice. Beets, parsnips, carrots, celery, sweet corn, . ? rauisnes, lettuce, ami peas may be planted at this time, many of them in succession crops at frequent intervals. Later in the month and during the early part of September kale, spinach, mustard, turnips, col lards, and parsley may also be planted. During September onion sets should be put out, and in October, and even later, onion seeds may be planted for a spring crop. Among the crops of these late plantings which the southern gardener will find available for winter use are beets and the other root crops, such as parsnips and carrots, and kale, collards, spinach, and mustard. Many of the plants, he will find, may be carried by slight protection even into quite cold weather without suffering damage. To the crops which will be carried over for development in the early spring should be added salsify, or oyster plant, which may be planted practically any time during the late summer or early fall. The following specific directions i* _/ _ 1 1 ? 1 A * - - " jor lan pianung or certain seeds in the South have been prepared by the department's plant specialists: Beets.?Beets planted in the South in August and early September will produce a crop of late fall and early winter use. Where hand cultivation is to be given, sow the seed in drills 14 to 18 inches apart and cover to a depth of about 1 inch. For horse cultivation the rows should be 2 1-2 feet apart. As soon as the plants are well established, thin them to a stand 2 to 3 inches apart. Give frequent shallow cultivation. The beets may be left in the ground through the winter, to be pulled when wanted. Varieties recommended: Crosby's Egyptian, Bassano, Early Eclipse and Biood Turnip. Turnips.?Turnip seed may b$ sown during the latter part of August and throughout September and the first half of October. Sow turn?p seed thickly, in rows 15 to 18 injhos apart, and when the plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches begin thinning, using the young plants for greens. For good roots thin the plants to about 1* inches apart in the row. Keep the land well cultivated i to keep down the weeds and to clear . the surface loose and friable. In a I su.ali garden cultivation with a hand ! cultivator is the most practicable. Turnips may be left in the ground until needed for the table, or may be pulled as soon as they are mature and stored in a cellar or buried in banks or pits. The varieties of tur, nips commonly grown in the South are Purple Top Globe, White Globe, Seven top, White Milan and Yellow Aberdeen. C4)llards.?Collards can be grown in the same way as outlined for turnips. Kale.?1<ale can be grown in the open throughout the winter in practically all sections of the South. Sow the seed in September and October in drills 18 inches anart for hand culti vation anil 30 inches apart for horse cultivation. As soon as the plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches they should be thinned. The plants pulled may be used for greens. The cultivation for Kale should be the same as for turnips. Vurieties recommended: Dwarf, Curled, Tall Scotch, and Siberian. I I Spinach.?Spinach is one of the best crops grown for greens and i should be found in eery home garden. It can be grown in the open during j the autumn and winter in all sections i south of Norfolk, Va. Sow the seed in the latter part of August, in September, or October, in drills 15 to 18 ! inches apart, at the rate of I ounce j to 100 feet of row. When the plants begin to crowd in the row, they should be thinned. The larger plants are selected first, and the smaller or 1 _ A i later ones are thus given room to develop. o BLACKLEG IN CATTLE. Clemson College, S. C.?Blackleg is 1 quite prevalent over the State at this I time, so the farmer with cattle on his ( place should keep a sharp lookout for. symptoms of the disease among his | cows and be prepared to act promptly in case it is discovered. Probably the first symptom noticed will be lameness. Upon examination of the animal affected, it wil be found that the quarter is swollen, or perhaps both quarters will be swollen. Rubbing the hand over the affected part, a crackling sound will be heard, ; due to gas which has formed under the skin and in the muscles. Swelling is always above the knees or above the hocks. , Sometimes, without having noticed any symptoms of the disease in his , cattle, the farmer may find a dead {animal in his pasture. If the skin over the swollen parts of the dead I animal feels just as a dried bladder feels to the hand; and, if upon cutj ting into the swollen part it is found that the muscles are black, there is . n0 doubt that the animal died with 'ii . i oiacKieg. V. The thing to do is to wire immediately to the State Veterinarian at Clemson College for blackleg vaccine, and to vaccinate all exposed cattle as soon as possible. The vaccine, with full instructions for its qse, will be sent by first mail after receipt of wire. Blackleg is spread very much as hog cholera is spread, so the same ! precautions should be taken where there is an outbreak in the community. To prevent spread of the disease, and to comply with the state j law, bum, or bury six feet deep, all dead animals. o $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one-dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

THE HORRY HERA HE CONGRESSIONAL SECRET/ K f ^ ^ ^ 1 f I COTTON IS GOOD IN FEW LOCALITIES } Has Shown Some Improvement in the Northern Part of Rolt V I w v/ % Washing-ton. Sept. 6?Cotton showe i some improvement in the northern part of the belt during the week last ended, the national weather and crop bulletin today announced. Weat'n er during the week was generally favorable for picking and ginning in central and Southern districts. "The condition of cotton is quite variable," says the bulletin, "but it is good in only a few localities. Boll weevil damage has prevented further fruiting in a good many places in the southern part of the area, and the weevils are reported as far north as southern Hardeman countv. Tennes sec. Shedding continues also and j rust damage is still reported in places. "The condition of cotton is from 10 to 20 days ahead of the average for this date in Arkansas, much of Mississippi and in Oklahoipa, although in the last named State the top- crop, if any, will be very late. It is at about the usual stage in Louisiana, except ten or fifteen days late in some localities. "In Texas it averages about ten days later than the normal; in Tennessee one week late, although opening prematurely in dry sections. It is opennig prematurely also in the dry parts of the eastern cotton area, but the late crop in most of North Carolina and South Carolina is considered to from 10 to 15 days later than the average. "Picking is about two weeks earlier than usual in most sections in Florida, and it is finished or well advanced in southern and central western portions of Alabama, where there has been little fruiting since the first of T - _ 1 i * ? juiy. in tne nortnern portions ot this State the crop is fair to,good and fiom normal growth to 15 days late. "In southern Georgia three-fourths of the crop is already harvested. The bulk is atyut ten days late, but the early planted is normal, or even in advance of the season in the coast district of this State." ? o REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

Va.?With the announcement that he was a dipsomaniac, a roaring rum hound, and that an enlistment wouldd probably cure him of the drink habit, a well-dressed young man applied for entry into the United States Marine Corps at its local recruiting station. "I read in the newspapers that they broke up or auctioned off all the wine glasses and I believe an en listment in your sober, respectable service would do more for me than a course at an inebriate's school. I was thinking of matriculating1 at Keeley Institutte this fall but?" "Belay the chatter," said Marine!

There's no room in our service for the man who drinks to excess. Sorry- old chap, but we can't take you." The drink afflicted applicant left Jj the recruiting station vowing to enlist in some military organization even though it were the Salvation i Army.

Is Optimistic Over Outiook 3ET7ER PRICES HiS FORECAST Thinks Market Will Rise. Welcome Visitor to Former Home. "It will bo the fault of the South ami the farmers in the South if this year's crop of cotton doesn't average higher prices than ever before." declared Frank L. Hayne, the widely known cotton operator, formerly of Charleston and now of New Orleans, who is home for a few days on pleasure. Mr. Hayne is one of the biggest cotton men in the country and in as close touch with the market as it is possible for anyone to be. He takes an optimistic view of the cotton niarkt t pr.ospects of the present season? from the planter's standpoint and his liiivico to the tanners is that they musn't tumble over one another to sell their cotton this year, but should market their crop as they did last year. "They musn't think 14 cents is a fabulous price, for they can get more," he figures. From 1878 to 1888 Mr. Hayne was piominently identified with local cotton market and was one of the biggest operators. His former associates and contemporaries in the market are all glad to welcome him back to the city and to see him looking so vigorous and prosperous. They are sorry that he cannot spare the time to stay longer here, talking over with them stirring reminiscences of the days when one could walk along Char leston's eastern waterfront for several blocks on a pavement of cotton bales, and when every shed-covered wharf?they were nearly all shed covered then?had two and three uniliim >lnil ' ? ?-j v~.. v unvi uvubi VT ii vessms tied up to load for every port in the world, while drays almost too numerous to count came and went with loads between the wharves and terminals. After spending a days in the city and at the Isle of Palms Mr. Hayne expects to leave. This is his first visit in three years. He left here, making his home at New Orleans. in 1883. He said that in driving around the city yesterday afternoon he was impressed with the "cleanliness" of that part of Charleston that the visitor sees and that he noted a great improvement in sanitary conditions here in the last few years. He was disappointed, he declared, that more had not been done with the opportunities offered by the Boulevard as a residence section. It is the prettiest residence building site in this country for residences that he has seen in any of the many cities he has visited, Mr. Hayne declared. Among other improvements Mr. Hayne noted the new cotton compresses and improved fertilizer and other factories in the city and at North Charleston. "I am not much on an interview,'* ! said Mr. Hayne, "but I want to say this much about Charleston: St. Michael's steeple and the Battery are. I think the .prettiest sights in the whole world."' o Delicate Woman Is Truly Grateful For Stella Vitae | Mfg. Pftpnli>rt PrnTiof C T ^ ? - - -?
