A manure pit is desirable for the temporary storage of manure if it is fitted with a tent trap or tone trap to catch flies that may breed before the pit is' emptied. To re tain the fertilizing value of man ure, it should be protected from rain and the air excluded as much as possible. There is no need to cover a large part of the top of the pit with a trap, but merely to leave holes large enough to attract flies to the light. Cover the holes with ordinary conical fly traps with the legs cut off so the bottom of the trap will fit closely to the box. In large bins two or more holes cov ered with traps should be provid ed. x We spend about half of our lives balking to people about other peo ple. AUSTIN, Texas, May 24.—Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, the only wo man who ever served as governor of Texas, today formally announc ed her candidacy for the Demo cratic nomination for governor, for the second time seeking an office denied her husband by a Texas Supreme court ruling. Mrs. Ferguson was elected gov ernor in 1924 after James E. Fer guson, removed from the gover nor’s chair in 1917 by impeach ment, was refused a place on the ballot. | Her announcement followed a ruling by the Texas Supreme court that Ferguson was ineligible to hold office. The court also de clared an amnesty act enacted by the state legislature during Mrs. Ferguson’s administration and de signed to restore Ferguson’s po litical rights was invalid. The bill had been repealed by a subsequent legislature. Mrs. Ferguson announced she would accept the husband’s plat form “with only one change.” “Instead of promising to veto all liquor legislation as he prom ised, I want to strengthen our liquor laws and see if some im provement cannot be made in en forcement,” she said. “We prohi bitionists have suffered much dis couragement recently and I want to see one honest effort to outlaw the liquor traffic before we give up the struggle.” Mrs. Ferguson was defeated for re-election by Governor Dan Moody, attorney general during her tenure. She gave notice that in event of her election she would “receive the aid and advice of my good husband.” “If consulting with one’s hus band be treason, then make the most of it,” she said. “It appears that one of the things wrong with this country now is that we do not have enough of the ©Id fashioned fireside^ talks our fathers and mo thers * xi to have.” Mrs. Ferguson said she favored enactment of laws ‘barring from office all persons who used “in toxicating liquor unlawfully ob tained,” and would require from all persons elected to office an affidavit that they had not had a drink of any “bootleg intoxicating liquor” within six months before the date of the affidavit. Ferguson, meanwhile, filed his motion for a rehearing on yester day’s ruling by the Supreme court. X Close Spacing Best By Test CLEMSON COLLEGE May, 27.— To further stress the importanse of close spacing of cotton, atten tion of farmers is called by R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, to the following timely statements taken from the 1929 Annual Re port of the South Carolina Exper iment station: “No set of experiments conduct ed by this station in recent years has been of more direct benefit to our farmers than the spacing tests conducted at Clemson Col lege and at the sub-stations since 1920. These experiments have proven conclusively that for dif ferent varieties and for different fertility conditions, closely spaced plants produce larger yields under toll weevil conditions, than where the plants are given abundant space. The partial crowding of the plants serves to suppress vegeta tive grewth and promote the pro duction of fruit early in the sea son. “The adoption of close spacing by the great majority of the cot ton contestants in the five-acre cotton contest sponsored by the Extension Service is proof that the efficiency of this practice is now appreciated by many of the lead ing farmers of the state. The bene fits of this practice were clearly shown by experimental evidence extending over the entire period since this state has been infested with the boll weevil.” 78 Communities Share Fire Tax KING ANNOUNCES DISTRIBU TION OF FUND THINGS WORTH KNOWING The first federal air fire patrol for the national forests was es tablished in California in 1919.

One of the lessons which we all must learn, if we are to make pro gress, is the great value of pat ience. It is one of the essentials of thrift. We must learn that we cannot always accomplish our purposes, no matter how laudable they may be, as quickly as we might desire.

A steel tower 110 feet high with a glass-inclosed cabin at its top lose sight of the fact that safe in vestments and spectacular profits seldom if ever go hand in hand. Placing our funds where we know i they are safe even though the re turn may be considered small is far better than risking their loss in order to gain exorbitant profits. I In all matters of personal ad vancement we will do better in the long run Jf we exercise patience. Many a promising career has been i ruined because of efforts to rise too j rapidly.

We all want to get to the top quicklky; we all want to get rich overnight; we all want to compress a week’s accomplishment into a day’s time. This is the spirit of the age and is not to be condemned because it explains the tremendous strides now being made in every field of endeavor. However, it places the individual in a position of strong and con stant temptation. It is increasing ly difficult to be patient and pur sue sound and cautious policies of personal administration when stories are being told all about us of the meteoric advancement in wealth, position or influence of j others. The point often lost sight j of is that very much is made of every spectacular success but we seldom hear of the failures. Notwithstanding the spirit of the age, patience has a high place in the scheme of success and ad vancement. Sound policies will al ways accomplish more in the long run than spectacular ones. The man who arrives at his goal through patient effort can rest as sured that his success is of the ! substantial type which will last.

Then feed a gradually increasing grain allowance. Feed hay and silage later in the summer. If intended for baby beef, the calves should go into dry lot for finishing at the end of the pasture season. Calves not intended for baby beef need not get grain so early or in such large quantities.
