MAYNARD COMM1UNITY PICNIC SUCCFSS. The l4ynard school picnic which was given on the schoolgrounds by patrons and friends of the school last Frid'ay was an enjoyable and in --spiring occasion. It ist a great idea for the people of a community to lay aide thei every day cares and per sonal interests one day and come to-, gether for the common good of all. The people of the Maynard commun ity are 'interested in education, loyal to their school and they prove it in a practical way by giving of their time and means to improve their school. The school children sang "Amrica" which was followed by a prayer by Rev. D. W. Hiott. Mr. Hiott spoke briefly commending the people for their fine 'spirit of co-operation. Hon. W. E. Findley told in an interesting way of the growth of the school from the time when the pupils gath ered in a log house about thirty five years ago and he said he hoped that the school and teachers would ad vance and improve with the build ing. F. V. Clayton urged the teach ing of agriculture in the school and dompliimented the people for their interest in school affairs. Rev. James Renfro made a happy speech which the people enjoyed. At 1:00 o'clock the - long table u.nder the trees was loaded with good things to eat. Everyone had plenty to eat and there was much left. In the afternoon the boys played base ball. The first game was with Lenha r-+t; score,Maynard 5; Len hardt 2. The new school building at May nard is now in course of construc tion. PLANTING FALL WHEAT. Clemson College, Sept. 1.2.--A great many farmers are preparing to plant a fall crop of wneat this year. We heartily approve this practice of raising wheat for home consumption and believe it should be more gener ally practiced, says Prof. C. P. Black well, agronomist, who believes that our yields are too low here to make it a profitable crop to plant as a money crop but that it does pay a farmer to plant enough for his own use. He suggests that after the wheat is removed in the spring the land may be planted to either cow 'peas, s6y beans, peanuts or a late crop of corn. Most of the wheat crop of this state is planted In cotton or corn Citize middles. This is a very good prac tice, especially if the three tube drill is used to do the planting. If the land is plowed in preparation for wheat, it should be plowed as early as possible and medium deep. But land should not be plowed deep just before planting, for wheat needs a firm seed bed. Varieties. There are several varieties of; about equal value, some being best in some seasons and ithers in other seasons. The varieties generally giving best results are Blue Stem, Leap's Prolific, Red May, and Deitz Mediterranean. Time to Plant. The best time to plant is the earli est (late possible to get the wheat up after frost. In order to avoid Iles sian fly damage, wheat should not be up until after frost, but the sooner it comes up after frost the better the yield can be expected. Rate of Seeding. If seede(I With a drill on ordinary land, five pecks per acre is best. If seeded broadcast, it is hest to us' six pecks per acre.

Boston, Sept. 9'-The collapse of Edward Dixon, of Philadelphia, ap parently from malnutrition just after his services had been sold to the highst bidder, brought the second day of the auction block for unem ployed men on the -common to a close after 12 men had been promised work. Dixon, a world war veteran, had prepared an appeal which Urban Le doux, leader of the unemployed group, read to the thousands of per sons gathered around the bandstand. As Ledoux was reading an account of the death of Dixon's father in the war which left the young man alone Dixon was swayed and collapsed. One meal a day and sometimes not that, had been his portion, be said. Physicians said 'tonight that this ex perience and exposure from sleep :nt on the common had made his conition serious. Bidders were more plentiful today than yesterday and many pledges of food and clothing for the men in ad dition to f'aym'nenit of wages Were forthconting. Won en acted as auc I ioneer5.
