PALMETTO TRAINING CAMPS WILL REMAIN Washington.?On account of reports of a movement to have Camp Gordon, near Atlanta, designated a^ a concentration demobilization camp for all the Georgia and South Carolina territory, practically, absorbing the South Carolina camps. Senator E. D. Smith has had the matter taken up with the War Department to see if there was any foundation of those reports. Assurance was obtain ed from the office of the Secretary of War and from high officials of the general staff, including the assistant chief of staff, Gen. Mclntyre, and Gens. Jervey and1 Anderson, that the department had no plan in contemplation to make Atlanta the concentration camp for Carolina camps; that, on the contrary, all the present South Carolina camps would be used for demobilization purposes, and that the general staff would certainly recommend the permanent retention of Camp Jackson, bcause of the fact that such a camp is needed for training purposes and millions of dollars have been invested in it. The other South Carolina camps will probably not be permanent. Oi course, the final disposition as to camps, like that at Columbia, will rest with Congress. o NOTICE OF SALE.

DON'T BE i BUY YOU EXCELLENT RESULTS : USING STABLE MANURE Farmers who are confronted with the problem of maintaining soil fertility?Important in carrying out increased food production?will find it ' profitable, the United States Department of Agrciulture suggests, to ::tudy the methods of handling barni yard manure, practiced in parts of , eastern Pennsylvania, where excol lent results in adding to crop yields s have been secured. These methods are described in I Farmers' Bulletin 978, recently pub! lished by the department. For over a ] ' century it has been the custom in tlv's i ' region to store stable manure in a . walled manure yard, partly or wholly i covered, in which the stabled animals s arc allowed to exercise during th? day. Manure thrown into such a yard > and thoruoghly tramped by stock, ae; cording to the department's bulletin, loses much less through heating and leaching than does manure piled ir 1 the open. , Proper Fermentation Fa\ored. ; Nearly all manure produced on the farms in the region to which the bul ? ? letin refers accumulates in the ma nure yards. AH cornstalks, straw and other roughage not used as bed? ding are added as needed to take up ; excess liquids. In this way the cov' ered portion of the barnyard not only affords a dry and comfortable shelter r for the live stock during the wint6r months, hut it protects the manure so that no leaching occurs. In sonv instances the coin fodder is run through a cutter, which increases its power of absorption and makes the manure easier to handle. The tramping of the stock packs the manure, so that an even temperature is obtainc!, which seems to favor proper fermentation, as is evidenced partly by the strong odor of ammonia in the vicinity when the manure is being removed, and partly by absence of dry combustion, or "firefang," so common m manure piles exposed to the weather. Occasionally a farmer is found Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the I cause. There is only one "Bromo Quinine." j E. W. GROVE'S signaturo on box. 30c.

Disintegrat ed .feldspar rock, common in the vicinity, has been used with good effect, but as a general thing the manure i-\ not treated with chemical fertilizers. How Manure Is Applied. I The manure is hauled to the fields 1 1 i ~ r * a ^ ai AMI lilt: majui 11^ U| 1UIII1 Many fanners apply it during the winter when the ground is frozen and hauling is easier and when there is more time for this work, hut this should not he done on hillside land or where there is danger of the manure being washed away when the snow melts and before the ground ,'s sufficiently thawed to allow the soluble material to sink in. In general practice the sod is usually manured in the early spring at the rate of S to 10 tons an acre and is immediately plowed aiuf rolled. In the fall manure is applied to oats and corn stubble land. The barnyard is so arranged that the team and spreader can be driven into any part of it, including the covered portion, * where loading can he done directly. The bulletin describes in detail the crop rotation plan and methods of handling manure on 10 Chester County farms, on each of which the yield of corn is maintained at 7b bushels or more an acre and where high yields are being made at no sacrifice ol profit. These farms offer good examples of the way in which manure should be handled and utilized to secuii the greatest possible returns. o A lady told us a true story of a soldier's wit?that a soldier in hospital on recovering consciousness said: "Nurse, what is this on my head?' "Vinegar cloths," she replied. "You have had fever." After a pause: "And what is this on my chest?" "A mustard plaster. Yon have hat pneumonia." "And what is this at my feet?" "Salt bags; you have had frosl I bite." A sohlior from the next bod looked up and said: "Hang the pepper box to his nose nurse, then he will be a cruet."? j Strand Magazine.

SAYS GERMANS ARE WARRING ON ALLIES London.?Sir George Cave, who recently resigned from the position of [Secretary of State for the home department in the Lloyd Gecrge cabi| net, in speaking in the house o.1' , lords, said that although there was a ^ause in hostilities, the eac;?.y's activities have not ceased. "Germany has already begun to try to destroy the unity of the Allies and our unity at home," he said. 1 be; lieve there is a close alliance between j Bolshevism and Germany. 1 have had evidence of this during the last week." I Regarding the press bureau, he ! saw no reason why it should be abolished, He said that he saw only the other day press cables from Russia which were "obviously false and intended for propaganda purposes." "We ouerht not to rplimiiii?V? tlir> ~ - -- - - 1 ~ weapons provided by the defense of Ihe realm act for dealing with Bolshevism," he said, "A bill continuing the aliens act of 1914 should be enacted by the next parliament enabling the government to impose restrictions upon the landing of enemy aliens." o COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Not Served.)

Washington.--The President is not going to make a protracted stay in Europe, despite the idea that some of the Senators who talked to him ; about his trip got from something he said about his remaining in Paris as long as necessary. lie will probably be back by February. There is no chance of his stay ing abroad as late as March, for on March 3 the present Congress dies and with it all bills that have not been presented to him. Important Last Minute Bills. Unless the President# purposes being on the job at Washington by midnight of March 3, Congress might as well not remain in session after the % middle of February. As all the big v Appropriation bills come along dur ing the final week of the session, and . as the revenue bill, if it gets . through at all, will be passed before , that time, it is fairly evident the 1 President will not think he can af! ford to he absent. If he should be j delayed, the only way Government j , .salaries could be paid and money ali lotted the Army and Navy, not to } mention the other branches of the t Government, would be by a special I session of the new Congress, t The picture of these matters being - left to a Republican Congress seems out of line. Mr. Cleveland when he was Prcsi? dent refused to sign a revenue bill 5 because it had not been presented to I him long enough before the death p of a Congress to enable him to study it, and an extra session had to be V called. Once Mr. Taf'c sat in the President's room at the Capitol, sign ing last minute bills. One important measure did not reach him until one minute past midnight and therr* by tailed of signature. S o k? FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL. It usually requires three years for the boll weevil to reach its maxiII mum in new territory, but the rapid spread of the weevil in South Carolina this season indicates that he n will do serious damage to cotton 11 production in this State even in 1919. Farmers and business men can greatly reduce the damage which the weevil may do by the following sugestions: 1. Complete the cotton picking at the earlist possible date. 2. Destroy all green cotton plants as early as possible, before killing frost, cither by plowing under deep or by uprooting while green and burning when dry. 3. After destruction of cotton plants, put in winter cover crops (eats, clover, rye, rape, and barley). If legumes (alfalfa, crimson clover, - bur clover, vetches) can be used as - winter cover crops, they are even i, more valuable than the grain cover crops. 4. Begin now to prepare for next 2 year's crop by careful winter and spring plowing. 3 5. Plant next season early maturt ing varieties at the earliest time to s avoid damage by frost. If wilt oce curs on your land, select Wilt-reeistd ing types. (5.
