INFLUENZA SITUATION.
There appears to be an improvement
in the flu situation locally as to
rases now developing. By the end
of last week it was reported that
more patients were recovering and
getting out in Conway than were going
down wtih the disease. No very
serious eases occurred in the town.
Those who have the disease complain
of great weakness when they come
out and this condition usually >last?s
them for several weeks. In the county
some deaths have been reported
during the last vreqk or 10 days.

By order _ofv the Government
Agency, the Hert^d discontinued all
subscribers who had not paid in advance
on October 1st,' 1918. The
change had to be made at the cost of
much work and considerable money.
Now that this change has been made
in a way that we could not avoid..
>ur subscribers must watch the dates

subscriptions paid in advance and in
that way they will not miss a single

of good roads. Owing to the epidemic
of influenza plans for advertising

thus giving more time for taking

good roads question. Hut the Legislature
decided to go on now with it-,

DAYS IN CONWAY DULL. (
' i
Most of the davs of last week were ,
% i
vei y dull in Conway as compared tv> (
the times before the last outbreak of
influenza came about. People in
some sections seemed to be unduly |
afraid of contracting- the disease by ,
coming into the town. Some who (
were on their way hero It is said ,
heard about there being a number of j
cases of the disease here and turned
back to their homes.
While we believe in being careful,
this is carrying the matter farther
than common sense shows there is
any use in. There is just as much
danger in the country now as there
is in tlie towns. Persons coming to
Oomwiy can avoid a crowd ar.d bo as j
safe as anywhere in the world so far
as influenza is concerned.

f
Clemson College.?A strong committee
of extension workers, appointed
to stuly the fertilizer situation,
worked diligently during the
week's session of the extension service

made the following suggestions
to farmers. The report is based
on careful analysis of 1018 experiments
and on conferences with the
director ot the experiment station,
the agronomists, the chemists and
others:
1. Cottonseed meal and acid phosphate
seem to be best and cheapest
fertilizers.
2. Use for cotton _ and tobacco on
sandy or gray soils an' 8-8-3 fertifize-i.
I o ** i "
? >. use no potash on red clay
lands.
4. Meal and phosphate in eqUnl
proportions, or a 9-3 1-2-1, is suggested
as best for cotton.
5. Use nitrate for side Application:
of cottonseed meal by applying earlier.
(>. Use no potash under corn this
year.
7. Ground rock-phosphate at present
high prices is not economical and
is not advised.
