of Smaller Children. ;
(
Laurens, Sept. 11.?A fatal family i
quarrel occured five miles southwest 1
f Cross Hill, Laurens county, this i
afternoon, when John Boyd, aged 1
twenty-three, was probably mortally <
wounded by his father, William B. <
Boyd, and in turn the son killed his .<
father, shooting him three times with,
a pistol. John Boyd, the son, was .'
shot, in the abdomen ,with a heavy j
?' a.l_ 1
charge of shot, accoruing 10 tae i j
Laurens officers who returned from j
the scene of the tragedy tonight at i
? o'clock. John Boyd is not expected
to live through the night,
according to attending physicians.
The shooting took place in the public
road in front of the Boyd home.
Officers state that John Boyd was still
conscious when they left the
scene at 6 o'clock and was attempting
to reload his gun when he opened
fire on the father. * ,
The officers say that one of the
Boyd boys stated that the father 1
was punishing some of the smaller j
children when John Boyd interferred. (
The elder Boyd then turned his wrath ]
on the son, got his gun and invited j
John into the yard or road for a set- ^
ilement. Within a few minutes the
shooting occurred, it is alleged. The |
Mmnor ic hnlHincr an innuest for Wil- .
liam Boyd tonight.
He was about fifty years old and
had a wife and twelve children, John,
who is fatally shot, being the oldest
child. Boyd was a farmer and lived
at Cane Creek.

WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY 8
NEEDS WINTER COVER CROPS.
v
Winter Cover Crops Reduce Fertilizer *
x Bills, by Retaining Nitrogen in J1
the Soil. i'
r
One bushel of rye or two bushels 8
of oats per acre seeded in a cotton v
field will save 40 to 50 pounds of F
nitrogen from leaching out this next 0
winter. Twenty pounds oi vetcn seeded
per acre mixed with the rye or
oats will add about 50 pounds of
nitrogen to each acre from the God
given air, or the combination of rye fc
and vetch will save and add about ^
90 pounds of valuable nitrogen per r
acre if cut and plowed into the soil 0
next spring for corn, potatoes or c
other crops which may be used in c
rotation with the cotton. A good t
crop of oats and vetch turned under g
is equivalent to 500 pounds of nitrate c
of soda per acre.
# If the dry cotton stalks are cut i
op with a stalk cutter and knocked {
down in the green growing crop the (
boll weevil cannot hibernate there as t
there is too much moisture for him. c
He needs a dry winter hotel where j
he can evaporate moisture from his t
body ar;d loose at least one-third of j
his body weight. He can't do this j
in green growing winter cover crops
if the dry weeds and grass are also ^
destroyed in and around the cotton 5
field. I
The winter cover crop if plowed ?
under or pastured also adds organic t
matter, the corner stone of soil fer- t
tility and the food for the germ life (
of the soil. When this material de- t
cays it gives the dark colored stuff j
we call humus without which we can- 1
not have a fertile soil. We can't ^
buy humus in a fertilizer bag, but 1
it helps us Jo get more profit from i
ivery dollar invested in commercial al
fertilizer. Ninety-five per cent, of fc
?he nitrogen in the soil and large a]
imounts of the mineral plant foods
ire held by the humus in a quickly m
ivailable form to feed a growing ti
:rop. Humus also helps to control
moisture, makes the soil warm up ti
more quickly in the spring and makes ly
it cultivate more easily, helps to con- ei
;rol insects which infest our growing
:rops, helps crops to withstand fungus .
md insect diseases, save horse power, ]
saves gasoline and often save religion, i
The use of one ton of ground lime- ft
stone per acre once every four years s(
along with the organic matter pays ai
landsome profits?about $25.00 profit for
every ton of lime used or for an
investment of about $5.00. in

WINTER FORAGE CROPS. N

Feed Hogs and Soils with Cover 2<

tJ
! y>
Ciemson College.?The extent to ni
ivhich forage crops and pastures ai
supply feed for hogs will determine ^
:he amocnt of profit made in the,
log business, says D. T. Herrman, j S
jxtension swine specialist, basing' n
stdtoment on the exnerience of I _
:he most successful hog raisers in p
;his state.
Since there are no permanent pas- ti
Lures that supply feed for the winter ?'
ind spring months, we must turn to
forage crops for this part of the year. I
The crops to be used are determined '
argely by soil types, and for this jr
reason we find Piedmont farmers1 j)
jsing crops different from those used 1 ^
n the Coastal Plains section. Sep- i
Lember is the time for planting all aj
Lrops for winter forage, and imme-1 q
iiate attention should be given to ^
;hem.
In the Coastal Plains section rye, n.
>r oats, in a mixture with hairy p.
.etch and rape is about the best wi-n n(
:er pasture we have. Rye is pre- Cl
'erred to oats by most men because 1 (jj
t gives more growth during the win:er
months. A good mixture of g
tViioo /.an Kb mMrlp nf 4 nppks D
>f rye, 1 peck of vetch, and 8 pounds : r{
>f rape. Rye will grow on almost ]T]
mv kind of soil and vetch will be
ill right if it is properly inoculated*' fc
jut rape requires a good rich soil. c,
For this season it is best to pick a
food fertile plot, work up a good s?
-eed bed, and inoculate for hairy j
retch before planting this mixture, j c;
Best results are obtained by planting j ai
>etween September 15 and October
15, although eailier and later plant-:
ngs are often satisfactory. I q
In the Piedmont section bur clover supply
such excellent pasturage for
he winter months that it is unnecessary
to plant anything else for these 0
nonths. Both of these, however, be:ome
too coarse for hogs by the
niddle of March and it is necessary J
x) have some other crop for the ~~
spring months. Five pecks of oats, J
>ne peck of vetch, and 8 pounds of T
ape fill this place admirably. On
elvet beans or soy beans followed i
>y oats or vetch. ;;
Second Year.?Oats for grain, or < ?
?ats and vetch hay followed by les- <,
>edeza, which is seeded in February | J
ir March in the oats. Lespedeza <?
nakes summer pasture and reseeds ( !
n the fall. If let go to seed every J J
ther summer following the small 1
;rain, it will not need reseeding. ?.
With the present high prices of ] ^
etch and clover seeds, we can use _
he Oregon spring vetch instead of
airy vetch'in South Carolina. Plantng
vetch or clover in a part of the
ye or oats following cotton is sug. ested
also to see if it can be told
rtiere they were planted, in the comlarative
effect on the corn, potatoes,
r whatever crop follows next spring,

War on Rats and Weevils.
Clemson College, Sept. Septem>er
is the month to start the great
tnnual fall cleaning of farm buildngs.
This every farmer should get
>nce a year as he winds his watch
me a year as he winds his watch
nee a day. First attention should
?e given to the bams, stables and
granaries, so that they may not beome
great rat winter resorts.
Clean the cribs and bins thoroughly
oml mat a th*>m as nearlv rat
>roof as possible, advises Prof. A. F.
Tonradi, entomologist. The:, space
>elo\v the floor possibly is full of
haff and other rubbish, making it
i most delightful place for the rats
;o spend the winter. Make it a
joint to abolish as many hiding
daces of this kind as possible.
The corn weevil, another pest
vhich should be fought vigorously,
;tarts in the corn field. He thrives
>est on corn that has loose-fitting
shucks, and besides offering protec:ion
the shucks also enable these pests
;o ride to the crib with the greatest
possible comfort. Do not sweep
;he empty wagon at the crib when
t is covered with weevils unless you
>urn the sweepings. To kill these
veevils that are carried to the crib
equires fumigation. Before fumigat- Z
ng the crib it must be made reason
jly tight, and complete directions
>r fumigating will be furnished by
pplying to the Extension Service.
Small amounts of valuable seed
iay be treated by heat, and suggesons
will be given upon request.
In selecting seed com notice parcularly
whether the shuck thoroughr
covers the ear and whether the
ir hangs tip downwar.
