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.
Fertilizers.
)u ring ordinary times it. is not;
profitable to make heavy applications

12 JOBLESS MEN SOLD TO HIGH.
EST BIDDER.
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.

Physicians said 'tonight that this ex
