Some of tho farmers ha\V; already applied thc soda to their grain. They believe they artf right applying it early, for we read a bulletin from Clemson, on the experimenta and re sults of fertilizing grain. It said, putting it on early caused more stalk? to grow and that made more grain, late applications only made a larger stalk, BO if it makes more grain everyone ought to apply early. The high price of flour won't alarm the farmers in this section much longer, if we are permitted to make Wheat, for almost every framer has some sowed. Good roads seems to be the most important subject to be discussed uow. We ore glad to hear it dis cussed, for discussions always do someone good. They will investigate to be able to discuss. Where Supervisor King worked roads last year, or built and graded them rather, has been almost Impas sable this winter, but if every farm er will uso a drag after each rain this spring and summer, will have the best roads this section of the county ima ever enjoyed, for it is an enjoyment to ride over good roads. No one will deny the fact.

So let un all try to make all aged people wo come in contact with happy by some little deed of kindness, or HUI? word of love. I was away from homo once, pass ed a very old lady' sitting in a roll ing chair, her face was so sweet it charmed mo.
