\ I GUARD AGAINST GERMS. CROP BULLETIN. Alfalfa Keep Well By Strengthening the Stomach Mi- in Summer With -o-na. In time of war the bility rests upon the is lacking in vigilance, disaster can easily overtake the army. With the individual life, the stomach may well represent the “guard" against sickness. If it is strong and vigilant, any disease germs that may be swallowed will be neutralized by the digestive juices, or else driven from the system. > Everyone with weak digestion should use Mi-o-na at this season and so strengthen the stomach that disease germs can have no effect whatever. This remarkable remedy puts the whole digestive system in so healthy, clean and sweet a state that fermentation of the food cannot most responsi-' exist, that any disease germs which guard. If he I may enter the stomach will be de stroyed, and food will be so readily assimilated that a rapid and healthy increase in flesh will result. Nervousness and sleeplessness come more often from a weak stom ach than from any other cause; head ache. back-ache, and rheumatic pains are directly caused by an acid con dition of the stomach. Mi-o-na cor rects all this, prevents the form ation of acids, and nervousness, kid ney trouble, or rheumatism, is quick ly cured. Ask Gaffney Drug Co. to show yon the guarantee under which they sell Mi-o-na. Price 50 cents. It costs nothing unless it cures. riiK Central Of CTiiiOinnivti. Oliio.

The extremes w< re a maximum of 100 degress at Hlack- ville and Florence on the 20th, and a minimum of 07 degrees at Charles ton on the 10th and at Greenville on the 20th. it was somewhat cooler at the close of the week. The sunshine was normal, or slightly above, and was highly beneficial. There were a few local high winds, but no serious damage was done. There was practically no rain over (lie eastern halt of the State; in the central counties there were numer ous local showers, some of whicu were heavy; there were also scatter ed light showers over the western counties. What rain fell was higly beneficial, as it occurred in localities that needed it. Over the greater por tion of the central and southern coun ties the ground has become very dry and rain is needed. Where the rain fall was heavy last week, crops did exceptionally well, but where it was light last week and none fell ihis weflik, crops suffered and generally deteriorated, cotton by wilting under the high temperature, and rusting, turning yellow and shedding; corn by firing and wilting. Cultivation made fair progress and over a large portion of the State crops have been laid by although this work will not be com pleted for several weeks. Cotton continued to make rapid growth generally and has too a large weed and too little fruit over the greater portion, while a number of reports Indicate that growth has stop ped. and that the nlants are bloom ing to the top. There are fewer re ports of damage from insects, and more of rust and shedding and of plants turning yellow. Cotton is be ginning to open in lower Barnwell county. There is a general improvement in both old and late corn, although the former is too nearly ripe to be greatly benefited by the recent rains. Fodder pulling has begun. Some old corn “fired” to the ears. Bottom lands that were flooded are recover ing slowly. The heat and insects have injured growing tobacco; selecting and curing are active. Peas for for age are promising. Rice is beginning to head iin the Colleton district; June rice being cultivated in the George town district. Pastures excellent. Peaches are fairly plentiful but many are rotting on the trees. LeConte pears are ripening. Sweet potatoes and cane are doing well. THE BLUE RIDGE ROAD.

Walhalla, July 1!).—Trains of the Blue Ridge railway have been draped in mouriug since Sunday In nonor of the memory of the late president li. C. Beattie. Mr. Beattie was exceed ingly popular here and many mourn his death as a personal loss. Very little has been said here in regard to the probable successor of Mr. Beattie, but the view tha: many take of the situation is that it would be a just and merited promotion for the present .su perintendent, Capt. J. R Anderson. Walhalla wants a man who will give us a morning train. Just think of it being 2 P. M. before a train reaches us daily. A number of excursionists left this morning for Asheville.

I don’t think that I’ve seen better in fifty-three years. In 1852 I went to Alabama by wagon travel, and they were fine, but on the 27th .of August the bottom corn was destroyed by a freshet. The crops this year remind me of 1852, but. farmers, don’t, count the chickens before they are hatched, for there is a lot of slips between the cup and lips. Elbow grease is telling this year on crops where farmers are trying to raise corn and cotton all mixed up with crab grass and weeds. W. R. L. and the Agricultural Society. (Columbia State.) The Agricultural Society of South Carolina, with headquarters in Char- leston, at 2<i Broad street, has de cided to offer two premiums in 1900 ' an Incentive to the cultivation of alfalfa in this State. For ‘he largest yields from a single acre and from tivr acres, the society will pay prizes of $50 and $100, respectively. The conditions upon which these awards will lie made are embodied In a circu lar which has been sent out by the agricultural committee of the society: Premiums for the best crops of al falfa hay made in South Carolina dur ing 190G, offered by tin* Agricultural Society of South Carolina. (1) Those who desire to compe’e for these prizes must send their names to J. Bachman Chisolm, secre tary of Agricultural Society of South Carolina, No. 2G Broad street. Char leston, S. C.. giving the location and postoflice address and stating whether they have entered for the five-acre or one-acre prize, on or before the 1st of August, 1905.> (2) The same party cannot enter for both the five and one-acre prizes. (2) The hay must be cut, cured and baled, from the five-acre plo* in one tract, all in one five-acre body. The results are not io be made up by taking any portions of one or more acres from various sections of any tract. (4) This hay should be cut as soon as the bloom appears, after the 1st of May, 1906. and as frequently as ‘he crops will warrant until the 1st of November, 190G. <5) An examination of the qualify of fhe hay, and the weighing of same, vii! be made bv a committee of judges composed of three responsible resi- dents of the neighborhood, who shall give certificates of same. (6) On receipt of the certificates giving the aggregate of ‘he total cut tings between May 1st and November 1st of those who have entered this competition, the agricultural commit tee of the society will at once pay over to the successful contestan* the award of $100, for the best results of alfalfa hay from the five acres, and $50 for the best results from one acre, these certificates must be sent to the secretary of the sociotv before the 21st of Deember. 190G. The secretary of the society wilj be pleased to furnish those who desire to enter the contest with information as to where they can procure the al falfa seed, and information as to the preparation of land, fertilization, planting and cutting of the crop, as given in the IT. S. Agricultural Bulle tins, No. 31 and 215, on “Alfalfa." This is a commendable movement on the part of the Agricultural society and is in thorough accord with the policy of diversification which has preached more or less unavail- ingly to the farmers of the State for 'he last several years. Each year the farmers of South Carolina send thous ands of dollars out of the State for the purchase of hay and other forage crops which could be grown as well at home. During 1903 the importa tion of hay for the first seven months of the year through Charleston alone was valued ar over $10,000 per month. This means simply that during each month of this period the farmers of South Carolina paid out $10,000 to ea tern and western hay growers which might have been kept at home and gone to enrich our own people. And. of course, the total hay impor tation in 1905 is much greater. The adaptability of the South Caro lina soil and climate to the successful growth of alfalfa has been given a thorough test at the experiment sta-j tion near Charleston conducted by j Hemson college. The plot there i planted in this forage crop yielded an | average of 10.400 pounds of cured hay ! per acre, or a little more than eight | tons. When this large yield is taken, | together with the consideration that; alfalfa once established produces crop | after crop without further cost of cul- j tivation, it is seen at a glance how profitable the cultivation of it might he made. Estimating the nvesei^ price of hay, roughly. a‘ $15 per ton,, the income from the acre of alfalfa j at the Charleston experiment station: was $120. The Agricultural Society of South I Carolina is doing excellent work in introduce this valuable t< ir nit: consideration of our planters. It is a progressive move ment worthy of this society, which was once the official organization of as progressive a body of planters as were to he found in this country.! Until the war planters of the coast | sec'ion of this Stare were extraordi ! narily -active in their efforts for the agricultural advancement of the south. By them the introduction of the cul ture of silk was first made in the United States. Indigo, too, was an other crop which for several years they cultivated with profit. It would WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
