MPP JnBnMBMBBMr PLOWING BY MACHINE" WILL GOME IN TIME Problems With Tractor Solved! by The Driver of the Machine LAY OUT FIELDS TO SAVE WASTE User of Iron Horse Needs to Lessen Period When Plov/s Are Out of Ground. Plowing with tractors presents seme problems that never bother the man who uses horse-drawn implements. It is necessary 1 to lay out fields so that a high-class job of plow ing can be done over the entire area with the minimum use of a horsedrawn plow in starting and finishing the work, says Farmers' Bulletin 1045, recently published by the Unitcvl States Department of Agriculture, which gives in detail some of the be^t methods for laying out land and plow ing with tractors. * The methods in general use are divided into two classes in the bulletin ?those in which the plows are elevated and no plowing is done across the ends, and those in which the plows are left in the ground continuously. In most cases better plowing can be done when the plows are idle across the ends of the field, and for this reason the methods of this class are more popular, but many farmers prefer the other methods, as they eliminate waste of time and labor. Plowmen using tractors wish to reduce to a minimum the time spent :n running and in turning with plows out of the ground. While it is necessary to do some traveling while the plows are idle, care should be taken not to do too much of it, as it reduces the number of acres which can be plowed in a day, making the tractor that much less efficient. Short turns, however, are awkward for most tra?tors and where such turns are necessary the operator often has more or less difficulty in getting the outfit in the correct position for starting into the new furrow at the right point. Some tractors turn more easily in one direction than others, and this should be taken into consideration in laying out the fields. Advantages Summarized. The advantages of plowing by the methods in which the plows are idle across the ends of the field are that the short, awkward turns are eliminated, except at some cases at the beginning and ends of the lands, and usually less space will be left at the corners to be plowed with hor^e*:. The advantages of the other method* are that little or no time is lost in traveling with the plows out of th? ground, and that ordinarily the numbei of dead furrows and back furrnnro uri 11 K /InvokU. 1~~..

If one end of the field is unfenced the outfit can be pulled out into a road or land or an adjoining field for turning. It may bo preferable to plow up to the fence on the two sides as the body of the field is being plowed, and leave the head-land only across the end of the field which is fenced. The width of the head-land will depend largely on the turning radius of the tractor. With easily handled outfits it is not nofoyNiivu tn m/M-n 1 rc "? >') 't-? ?.

IVAY, S C., AUGUST 7, 1919 unplowed strips between the .land or at the edges, it is essential that care ! be taken to have the headland of the same width clear around the field, to have the distances measured exact y when starting new lauds, ami to have the first furrows as nearly stiaight , as possible. A little extra time taken in measuring off the necessary distances and sotting plenty of stakes for guidance will nearly always be more than returned in saving time at the finish. If the tractor pulls thre" or more plows, cutting a total wid.h of 3 or more feet, some effort should be made to have the width of the J headlands an eract multiple of the to-; tal width of the plow, so that the last strip across the field will exactly cut out the land or finish it to the fence. This will do away with the necessity of making a trip across the field.! piobably over the plowed ground, to ! turn a narrow strip which has been left unplowed. When methods arc used in which the plow is left in the ground continuously the outfit is stnrtnd in tho center of the field. For the fiivt three or four rounds the plows are lifted at the ends of the furrows,,and then they are loft in Ihe giound when the turns are made. The outfit is then run around the field until the entile area has been plowed, and :f the field has been measured correctly before the tractor started .the last round will plow the land next to the fence on all sides.

The campaign looks forward to the future food needs of this country's inceasing population and results from long and careful observation of the live-stock industry in this country, and was planned after extensive consultation with specialists and breeders. The plan is to hasten the replacement of the multitude of scrub domestic animals in the United States with purebred or high-grade stock, and also to improve the quality of pure-bred? or high-grade stock, and also to improve the quality of pure breds themselves. The goal in view is greater effciency in production. The campaign will be the first organized crusade in a large country to improve all live stock simultaneously. Tt. will interfere in no way with any work in live-stock improvement now being conducted, but makes all the work more definite and effective by providing official recognition for progressive breeders.

I USECREOSOTED FENCE POSTS Treat Your Own Posts od The Farm.?Last From 15 to 20 Years. Clemson College. ?With the development of our livestock industry and the resulting increased need for pastures, fencing becomes an important problem. A troublesome phase otj this problem is lasting fence posts. Long-lived fence posts can easily be made from most of the common infer | ior woods by a simple preservative j j treatment on the farm. Properly j i creosoted, these non-lasting woods make posts Rood for 15 to 20 years, says W R. Mattoon, Extension Specialists in Forestry. Kinds of Wood to Use. Most of gur common woods readily tako in creosote, a prodhct of the distillation of coal which makes wood | fiber very resistant to fungi, or rot, and to practically all f(*'ms of animal life which injure wood. Sap pine, soft or red maple, black gum, sweet gum, beech, red and black oaks, cottonwood, willow, the pqplars, we good examples of non-lasting woods which are easily treated, the weod becoming the container for the preservative fluid. Recause of cross bands of tissue of the various white oaks, they are unsuitable for treating. Tke nioro lasting woods (black locust, red cedar, mulberry, chestnut, bhH'k walnut, osage orange) do not justify the expense of treating for the slightly increased lasting qualities. Woods differ in checking or splitting when in ordinary use as fence posts. This is important, since *uich openings allow the entrance of woodrotting fungi to the inner portions of the untreated wood. For example, black gum, due to its interlocked, twisted fiber, proved an exceedingly satisfactory wood for treatment. The bay of the- southern swamps "checks" badly, giving poor results even in the first 5 to 8 years following treatment. Method of Treating. Posts 3 to 4 inches in 4iam??er are diffidently strong for line posts. Small posts require less creosote, and last practically as long as large ones. Round posts are better for treating than split posts. It is very important to have the wood thoroughly seasoned. The posts should be cut, completely peeled, and open piled in a dry situation well exposed to sun and wind. Peeling is most easily done in the spring season, always immediately after the tree is felled, before cutting it up into post lengths. Patches of the thin innor hark, if left, retard or prevent locally the desired impregnation of the wood with the preservative liquid. A spade fprms one of the best tools for peeling. In lats fall and early winter, especially in dry situations, it may be necessary to use an ordinary dr*iw knife. Tops of t?he posts should be beveled to shed rain water. Posts should bo cut to allow only about 3 inches above the top wire. Posts with lflng tops are unsightly and more costly in wood used and treatment. A light crosscut saw avoids waste in chopping. and makes smoother ends. A satisfactory treating equipment for farm use consists of one cylindrical galvanized stepl tank 3 feet in diameter by 4 feet high, and one horizontal rectangular steel tank 3 by X feet. The treatment consists of soaking the butts in hot creosote (about 200 to 215 degrees F.) for one to two hours, depending upon the density of the wood and time required to get a deep penetration of the creosote, and then immersing the whole post in a "cold" bath, at a temperature of 90 to 110 degrees F. The butts should be treated for a height of one foot ah*ve tho crAmd line. The tops thus Ret only a shallow treatment but sufficient to make them last as long as the butts. Coat af Treatment. A pa 11 on of creosote will treat 3 posts, 3 to 4 inches across the top, or 2 posts 4 to 5 inches. In ordinary times a high grade of creosote can be purchased for 15 to 20 cents per gallon tn barrel lots delivered. War time made it cost from 30 to 35 cents. Depending upon the sise of the post and price of creosote, this is a cost for creosote of from 5 to 15 cents per post, or average of 10 cents. Other Hems of cost for the peeled post should not be over 5 cents apiece, and for overhead charge on equipment about 2 cents, or H labor for treating the post is included about 3 cents, bringing the total cost to an average ef shout 20 cents. This would fall to about 15 cents under ordinary pre-war prices for material and labor. True Cost. But the true cost of fence posts on the farm should be reckoned in terms of cost of the post plus cost of labor 111 replacement. If treated posts are good for 15 years, at least two sets of ordinary untreated posts and two renewal operations are eliminated. Three complete settings of untreated posts would certainly be very considerably more expensive than one operation with treated posts. The treating of fence posts jointly by severr.i farmers in a community affords ono of the best forma of cooperative work possible. \ - - - . - ? 1 ? HOLDS EX-KAISER AS RESPONSIBLE Ludendorff Declares Wilhehi's Decisions Binding on Generals CONDEMNS BAUER AND DR. MUELLER General Is Indignant Over Criticism of Crown Council Actions. 1 i Berlin. Tuesday. ? Responsibility for the crown council's decision in 1017 that Belegian territory must be held was placed upon the former German emperor by Gen. Ludendorff in a communication published by the Deutsch Tages Zeitung. General Ludendorff's letter said that great headquarters merely sketched the. military situation and stated what measures they believed necessary to protect Germany's west frontier in an economic way. The former German emperor, Gen. Ludendorff said, decided the question and his decision was binding upon military headquarters. -"* Premier Bauer and Dr. Herrman Mueller, foreign minister were condemned by Gen. Ludendorff for their statements in the German Nniir?r?oi Assembly at Weimar on Monday criticizing the crown council actions and making public reports of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and General Ludendorff advising the retention and military occupation of the Liege district. General Ludendorff inquired where Dr. Mueller obtained the military information concerning great headquarters. Outline of "Economic Unity." An outline of what military authorities were said to have considered the necessary "economic unity" with Belgium, also was published by the National Zeitung. This outline, according to the news papers, contemplated the extension of the German customs system to Belgium, the levying of imperial taxes on monopolies there, obligating Belgium to accept German control of Bel glum taxation, trade representation and the division of income tax. It suggested also an agreement for the equality of citizens of Germany and Belgium, and various regulations re guruing snipment, legal and industrial questions. t German shipping, according to the published economic outline, would be given rights in the harbor of Antwerp; Belgium would adopt the German monetary system; all damage claims against Germany would be annulled; Germany would take over the Belgian railroads, and the German workmen's protection insurance law would be introduced in Belgium. habitual Constipation Cured in 14 to 21 Days "LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN" is a speciallyprepared Syrup Tonic-Laxative for Habitual Constipation.

It's Important to Iveam the Cause, As Many Conway People Have. Dizziness is never a disease of itself?it's only a symptom of some deeper-seated trouble. Much dizziness is caused by disordered kidneys failing to filter all the poisons from the blood. These poisons attack the nerves and dizziness results. If you are subject to dizziness, there is good reason to suspect your kidneys, and if you suffer backache, headache, and irregularity of the kidney ?ecietionst you have further proof. Many Conway people have learned the value of Doan's Kidney Pills in just such cases. Read this Conway resident's statement: - f Mrs. I). W. Harrison, Conway, says: "About a year ago I had a terrible backache and didn't know what was the matter. I was awfully nervous and I couldn't do my housework. Dizzy spells bothered me and I would have to hold on to something for fear of falling. My kidneys acted irregularly and bothered me a great deal. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills and after 1 had taken one box I was cured of all the misery." Price 60c, at all dealers.
