A BRILLIANT SOCIAL AFFAIR. Popular Young Couple United In Marriage June 5. (Written for the County Record). The prettiest home wedding that has taken place in the town of Manning for some time was that of Miss Kathrine Porcher Gaillard of Manning to Mr J A Blackwell of Sardinia. They are very popular in social circles and will be much missed by their numerous friends in and around Manning, as their home for the present will be at Sardinia. The marriage ceremony was rendered after the solemn and impressive form of the Episcopal church, by Rev H H Covington, rector of the Church of the Holy Comforter,Sumter,and immediately after, the large number of guests were ushered into the tastefully decorated dining room and served with the most delicious refreshments. The punch bowl was presided over by Mrs Thomas and Mrs Harlee of Manning. * The talented young artist,Mr Wylie Hodge of Alcolu, decorated the rooms with much taste in a green background and white carnations and roses. The low and sweet wedding march was played by Miss Gussie Appelt, and as the lovely strains commenced, little Miss Eleanoi Crawford, niece of the bride, like s little white fairy, and with a basket rof white roses on her arm, came in with little Master Robert Black well, hrnthpr nf the crroom. also in white, bearing in his hand a silver waiter, an heirloom of the Gaillard family for over a century, on which was placed the wedding ring. Next came Miss Lou Gaillard, maid of honor, carrying a lovely bouquet of white roses and ferns and looking very sweet in pink satin and gold trimmings. The groom and his best man, Mr Henry Blackwell, next came in, and then the bride on the Pv? arm of Mr Sam Barron. The bride looked charming ir white satin and pearls and carried on her arm an exquisite bouquet ot white bride's roses and maidenhair x ferns. The company enjoyed themselves in interesting conversation until time > for the 7 p. m. train, when they accompanied the young couple to the depot and gave them a liberal supit 5>ly of rice and good wishes. I f Among the large number of outI, of-town guests were: Mrs M L Mc[ Beth and Miss E P Gaillard of Pir nopolis, Mrs Rachel Gaillard of Dalrzell, Mr and Mrs Ben Crawford of Ourants, Mrs M C Mouzon of Kingstrw Miss M S RnvH nf Salters. Mr and Mrs Blackwell of Upper Salem, parents of the groom, Miss Lucius of Columbia, Mrs John Cowser and the Misses McFaddin and Wheeler of Sardinia,Mr and Mrs Garland,Mr and Mrs Daniel,Mr and Mrs Thompson and Mrs Evans of Midway, Mr and Mrs Nettles and Mr and Mrs Hinson of AJcolu and Miss Marie Price of Charleston. The presents were too many to enumerate, and among the beautiful array of cut glass, silver and other useful articles were many valuable checks. Why Fertilizers are Used. The good farmer will always use "Commercial fertilizers, and as his land gets better he is likely to use them more rather than less, and to find them increasingly profitable. Let us see if we can't put the matter in the simplest form and see why this is true: A fertile soil, as one of our correspondents says, is one which will produce good crops. .Crops grow in the soil and are made rap of different substances, some of which they get from the air and aoroe from the soil. These substances we term plant foods. The size of the crop is limited by the amount of ihese substances which it is enabled to get?or rather, by the amount of the least plentiful of them. This Jimiting food is nearly always pnosi phorus (phosphoric acid), potassium (potash) or nitrogen. All tnese are i derived from the soil. The mere amount of any of these substances in the soil, however, does not of itself determine the growth the crop can make. They must all be taken up by the very small roothairs of the plants after they have | been dissolved in the soil-water. If I ?ny of them be in such combinations I that they will not dissolve in the 1 soil-water, they cannot be used. If the soil be hard, so that the roots , cannot penetrate it; if it be dry, so j that there is not sufficient soil-water , to dissolve the substances upon | , which the plant feeds; if it be soggy, so that air cannot circulate and , the bacteria which change the unavailable foods to available forms | cannot thrive, the crop will be cut , short. If there be lack of potash, no matter how much of the other ^ plant foods may be present or how , good the soil condition may be, the 1 , crop will be limited by that scarcity rvf nnfock Art tho nthpr hand, if Ui [A/VOOII. Vil VIIV vvtiv* ? , , there be waiting: to be dissolved , enough of all the plant foods to make a record yield, and the soil be , dry and dead so that it does not re, tain moisture, there will be only a . small crop made. , All these things help to fix the , ' J [ size of the crop. On most Southern soils most crops are limited by the ( . poor texture of the soil?by its be- , , ing too wet, which shows the need , ( of underdrainage, or by a lack of ( . vegetable matter, or humus?rather . than by a lack of plant foods. This , does not mean, however, that it will , not pay to apply plant foods?which . is exactly what is done when fertill izers are applied. Better methods of tillage, better drainage, more , humus in the soil would undoutedly enable most land to make larger crops than it now does with much less fertilizer than is now used, or . with none at all. OAtlo Qt*n wnf rinK in I DUl OUUlllClll ouno OiC. nui/ 1IVII Hi , plant foods. Some are poor in potash, most in nitrogen, practically , all in phosphoric acid. Even after . tillage, drainage and the addition of humus have enabled the land to make much better crops, these crops will still be limited by the scarcity , of one plant food as compared with the others. Will it not pay, then, t to supply this needed substance and [ thus still further increase the crop? ? Of course, it will. The men with the richest soils?the truckers and intensive farmers are today the ones , who can use commercial fertilizers most liberally and get the most profit from them, and it will always be so. Let no one talk about getting to | the point where he will not have to use fertilizers. Let him fill his soil with vegetable matter, cultivate it well, give it good drainage and, if he studies fertilizers and his soil, he will use more fertilizers than ever? not because he has to, but because it will pay him.?The Progressive Farmer.
