Bermuda grass and bur clover mSjk*) the meet desirable permanent pasture for South Carolina and Ber? muda especially is recommended by Clemson College as a pasture grass to all farmers In this Stats who sre raising cattle and hogs or who ex? pect to raise them. One of tho most essential steps In any livestock development Is ths establishment of a good permanent pasture. Experience has shown thst Ber? muda Is ths best pasture grass for ths South. Oae of Its valuable qual? ifies Is that it may be planted In practically any month, the only pre? caution necessary In winter being to cover the roots deeply enough. In planting Bermuda grass, It is beet to use the roots. Run turn plOw furrows two feet apart, drop a few roots every two feet in these furrows and throw one furrow on each planted row. Allow to grow for one summer, with only light grating and turn under or other? wise break in fall. Just at or soon after frost. The long runners thus covered will furnish a new plant the following season from each covered Joint and you will have an excellent sod. If done In this way a good sod can be obtained within two years at email expense. Lieutenant Joseph W. Allison, Jr., of the llth cavalry, U. 8.

There are two Morris banks in this State, one In Charleston and one In Columbia, He showed how his system opened a line of credit to the wage earners and laborers, and encouraged thrift and saving among the people. Gov. Manning, who was among those present, gave his encouragement to the plan, and said he was very much Interested in it, and incidental? ly he mentioned his great interest in rural credits and thought the Morris plan for the city wage earners and the rural credits for the farmers would round out the financial system in South Carolina. Speaker Hoyt and Christie Benet, who are connected with the local Mor? ris institution, gave Instances of where their bank had rescued people from the clutches of the loan sharks. The Morris plan Is said to route the loan sharks. Mr. Morris and Mr. Hoyt have just returned from a visit to Charleston.

Karl Lehmann to Attend Snmter Con? vention in November?Many New Societies. Columbia, April 6.?"You can count on me to be with you at your conven? tion in Sumter next November," writes Karl Lehmann,, Southern sec? retary of the Christian Endeavor, to officers of the South Carolina Chris? tian Endeavor union in Columbia. Mr. Lehmann was the moving; spirit of the Christian Endeavor convention in Laurens last November, and those who know him are sure that this promise to be with the Palmetto En? deavorers again assures them success for their next annual State conven? tion. Mr. Lehmann is now doing field 'work in Texas. Mr. Lehmann is recognized as the best authority in the country on Chris? tian Endeavor principles and methods, and he is one of the best known lead? ers of young people. He has friends In this State by the hundreds, who will be glad to. know that he will be a convention speaker and leader. The South Carolina Endeavorers plan to have 600 delegates at their 1016 convention. There was some question for a while as to limiting the , number of delegates, so as not to tax the hospitality of the Sumter En? deavorers. This matter was taken up with the Sumter people by E. T. White, an officer of the South Caro? lina Christian Endeavor union, and a1 leader in the > Sumter Endeavor work, and he writes to Columbia offi? cers of the union that the young peo? ple of that city will entertain all the delegates attending the convention. "Whoop up for 600; take the lid off,' he writes. The Endeavor convention will prob? ably be held the second week-end in November. This is a tentative date, bet It ie the time preferred by the Sumter societies, and will probably be decided upon by the State executive 'committee. " Since the convention last November there has been 37 new societies or? ganised. ? jln addition to the Sumter conven? tion, South Carolina Endeavorers are looking forward to the all-South con? vention in Atlanta in July, and a large delegation will go from this State.
