Six years ago I plowed four acres of level land about eight inches deep and planted it to corn. The land was so much worn that I soon saw tho crop would almost bc a fail ure. Crimson clover seed was broad casted on the Boil just before tho last cultivation, one peck to the acre. A good stand was obtained. Next year clover seed was cut '.rom this crop and si u'hie turned under and cow peas driltiMl into tho soil. This crop' was mow'.d off for t.xy and tho anil thc.ougbly prepared for wheat by us! ig the spring-it.-:.i htrrow. Wheat waa drilled into tito soil in the fail with 200 pounds of phosphate per acre. Thew heat made a good crop-almost twice as good as usual ly had been grown. An excellent stand of grass waa obtalnod with de whoat, the seed of which waa sown in tho fall. The hay cut from this land the following year waa a splendid yield. Now' then it seems to me tho clover seed obtained more than paid tor that originally purchased, and tho cowpe? hay well paid for tho cost of sowing tho cow pea aeod. besides the excellent crop of hay obtained and tho incroasod fertility or the soil, which make an additional asset Clo ver was sown on tba ground in thc spring following the seeding of the wheat ot maintain the fertility. This concrete example ls given to demon strate what can be done. Of course fertility can be largely saved by hauling out all manures as they are made and spreading them on the land, hut thia will not cover all the land quick enough and must he supplemented by the nae of legum inous crops, basic slag and, perhaps, lime. It seems to me, therefore, judging from actual experience, that a safe foundation for Increased soil fertility ia the os? ot (1) leguminous erops, (2) basic slag or a similar fertilizer, and Cl) more Block on tho farm.-It.

I Pres byterian church. Thc choir gave sev eral beautiful selections, thal win greatly enjoyed by those present, n was also a solo by Mr. Hani Orr 'Krib ble. Mr. Dodge in a lew happy, well chosen words introduced the si raker tor the evening, ltev. R. D. Bedingcr or Virginia, a returned missioner; from Africa, who Islncntcd In thc Kauai district in Hie Belgian Congo, Central Africa. Ho BClccted for lils BUbject "The Joys and Sorrows of Missionary Life." Ile said he wanted to spca!; of :? joys and :{ sorrows. The first was the privilege of being a missionary mid in a Tew earnest heartfelt words ho tried to describe tlie unspeakable Joy of such service. He told of :i Helglan soldier whom he met and talked with and of this sol dier's thrilling statement, "what a Joy to die that way for one's country," and BO he compared this to thc Joy of the missionary luart to be willing even if necessary to die for his Lord. Ills second Joy was the fact that lu was a missionary to Africa, the most neglected of all thc fields, and th i ni the Joy of being a missionary to Just his district, tho Kasai, so overwhelm ing in its opportunities a?d possibili ties. He stated that the opportunities of thia great country only limited by the number of missionaries. These wen three of the joys that made life worth living out there. He spoke of the three sorrows. The first was that tho church at home does not appear to be as eager to Bend thc workers as those heatherns are to receive and he gave several pitiful messages from these dying nations begging for the word3 of life. He gave them some very plain facts and figures, showing the failure of tho church at home to do their part. The second so* row is the Inability of the small bod; of mis sionaries to adequately carry on the work to ita best results and achieve ments. He paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Rochester, one of their best and most efficient' nativo workers who dlod some time ago. He made an earnest appeal for more men, moro workers. He told of those waiting to go-ho pictured the need-ho plead for thc help. The third sorrow was tho need for medical men to help in tho work and for trained nursoB. He told of hund red of miles, and no doctor. He told many pathetic Incidents of sickness and distress, want and poverty, with no help, no relief. He thrilled his healers with tho pathos and misery ot it all. Ho told of tho terrible need of hospitals, of doctors and trained nurses, and then ho explained that eight men and women were willing to go and of the movement on foot to send them; of thc effort being made to raise the amount necessary. It was a magniflcflent apeal and touched the very deaths of the hearts of those present. Mr. Bedingcr is a young man of rare consecration and earnestness of purpose and ho put his whole heart and soul in tho message he brought. The program ended with a beauti ful solo by Mra. W. J. Muldrow in which the whole choir joined In the choras. REPORT ON BOILER Inspector Submits Report of Inspec tion Theatre Heating Plant.

BIG EXCAVATING PROJECT Hundreds of Yards of Earth Token Off Ne?jTo School Grounds. An excavating project of consider able dimensions ls.under way just now on tho grounds of the colored graded school on Towers street. Th0 grounds are being dug down for a deptli of 4 or 5 feet in thc rear and somo 3 foct in front. The earth being taken off is being used for filling in on property of tbe Charleston & Western Carolina Ball way nearby. The work has been un .?or way for several weeks aud will continuo fur some time yet. Primary Points tn Pasture Making. For emphasis, we again name what we regard aa Gie essentials In the making of a pasture, in the order of their importance: 1. A fence that will confine the animals, to be grazed and keep ou< those which are rot desired. ' 2. The removal and continued de struction of non 'pasture planta. The grubbing axo and the mower are aa essential to a good pasture tu the South as sunshine and rain are ibnndant. 3. Thc prevention of washing or raroslon. . Grass cannot grow in the nuking of gullies. 4. The sowing of the seeds ot those plants which do. best and fur nish the beat grazing on the soils ard ander the conditions where the pas ture is to be made. Many thousands of dollars have boca wasted in the South by sowing crass and clover seeds ot kinds not adapted to the conditions, or without suitable preparation of tho soil. Tbs baals of a phature tn any eeetton should be tho plant or plana which ic row moat generally ard freely ia that section, or of some plant or plants known to do well under simi lar conditions. In addition to plants that are known to make, good pastures ia the section, or under similar conditions, the aira should be to get such a va riety as will secure the earliest as troll as the latest grazing practicable.
