Miss McLees came to , i organize a Rural School Improve- , ment association and home keepers' club. Miss Edwards visited the toI mato club which she organized here this spring. Earle's has the banner tomato club of the State. There are seventeen members of this club. Earle's baseball team went to An- ; drews last Friday afternoon to play < against the team there, but they got whipped by a score of 2 to 12. They i will play again on the Earle's diamond Saturday afternoon, when they hope to beat Andrews as badly as Andrews "licked" them. About thirty-five of the children of the Earle's school attended the Sunday-school convention which was held at Andrews last Tuesday. The j - ' trustees gave iuesaay as ? huhuo. and furnished wagons and buggies to take children to Andrews. Mrs Sara Camlin is spending a few weeks with her nephew, Mr G W Camlin. Misses Floride McCelvey and Lorraine Lathan and Mr Charlton Camlin visited Andrews Saturday. Mr G W Camlin spent Thursday in Kingstree on business. Mr H A Camlin, of this place, visited Georgetown Monday. Mr Pearl Camlin, who has employment in the store of Mr A A May of Andrews, visited his father, Mr W R Camlin, at this place, Sunday. Mr W R Camlin was a delegate from Harmony Sunday-school to the Sunday-school convention, which <?nnvpnpd at Andrews last Tuesday. Messrs W A Moore, Henry Wheeler and Vance Wheeler were in Kingstree yesterday on business. Farmers of this section are busy setting out tobacco plants, but they are very anxious for rain, as there has not been a good rain here in over a month. This has caused the farmers to fall behind with their work. Very few of them have any cotton at all, and some are beginning to look worried. Mr Lorice Boyd went to Kingstree one day last week for the purpose of having his eyes tested and glasses fitted. Mr G W Camlin visited his broth- , er, Mr W 0 Camlin at Bloomingvale. last week. Mrs Ellen Thompson, who has ? ? ? ~i~ J I been very sick, is, we are kiou uj say, improving^very fast now. A school improvement association j was organized at Earle's school last ( Wednesday.

Mr Camlin had been appoint- * ed for Anderson and Suttons town- \ ships, but he resigned and another 1 was secured for Suttons.

Coker College being anxious to promote the home demonstration vvork, offers, during its approaching Summer school, tuition, part board and lodging, for one prize winning girl from each organized canning club in Williamsburg county, and as many other counties as may apply for such privileges. The expenses of the girls while at the college will be borne partly by the college and partly by the publicspirited citizens of the different counties. The course of study will embrace cooking, poultry raising, gardening, sewing, canning and preserving. The scholarships will be awarded to one girl in each canning club making the highest score on her work, the final examination to be made not later than June 14, 1915. The following score card will be used in judging: General condition of plot 25 points Cultural methods 25 points Preparation of soil Subsequent cultivations Freedom from weeds and grass Condition of plants 25 points Pruning, staking,freedom from insects and disease damage Daily record of work 25 points Good Advice to Our Farmers. Editor County Record:? The agricultural status of South Carolina hangs in the balance this year. The heavy winter rain3 caused great leaching of plant foods from our soils. The wet condition of the soil made careful and proper preparation well-nigh impossible. If the devastating European war is prolonged another year or even ten months, next year our farmers will be unable to obtain their customary supplies of German Potash. Recently, I sent you a copy of Bulletin 53 on Soil and Seed Inoculation with nitro-culture, the legume inoculation material wisely authorized by the General Assembly at its last ses sion. Legumes planted in the most extensive way possible and inoculated with nitro-culture will give our farmers all the nitrates they require for their next crop. If inoculated cowpeas, or soy beans planted on grain stubble, in corn when the crop is "laid by," or be "hogged off" or, still better, cut all to pieces with a disc and turned under and rolled down, a great amount of humus,? the life of the soil?will result. If the farmer will then use one ton per acre of finely ground limestone, the decaying vegetable matter in the presence of the lime, will make the potash in the soil as an insoluble ! compound a ready available form of potash that the next crop can reach. I rhis is the way out for our people. South Carolina needs the co-operation of its editors and their papers as much in this campaign as it did in the great "Hampton Campaign" of 1876. With your assistance, driving home by plain and hard facts the money value of soil inoculation through nitro-culture, the imperative necessity for best results of inoculating cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans and peanuts, even where these crops can be grown without artificial inoculation, this period of stress and trial can be changed from a terrible calamity to an unfeigned blessing, and our soils be made rich?r, and our farmers taught the simple truths of permanent soil fertility as never before. "Plenty of lumus" is only another way of saying "feed the soil," and as unfortunately we have no general live in/Jnof*?tt rrrck non rvn]vf rlrw fHu )Iuliv iuu uoii j j ry c voii v/uij uv wmu by growing and turning under green manure crops, and then using limestone to rot them down properly, ind we will go a long way toward working out our agricultural salvation this year.
