It is time for this farmers of Sumter I county to begin to plan for their next year's fertiliser. We cannot see any I definite time when the conflict in Eu? rope will end and it is up- to us to make our farms self-supporting, from every standpoint. Owing to the great I abundance of cheap* peas, every acre that is idle and In small grain should be broadcasted, and two or three rows of pteae shtAild-be planted in thev corn? field*. This is a good time for all of the farmers' who have' not already chinged to growing iron and Brab? ham peas to do so. These peas have* always sold" from two to two1 dollars had" fifty cents per bushel and they may) be had In any qutntlty this year j at from one twenty-five to one'dollarj and- a-half per bushel. I believe-that 1 nearly all of the farmers in BomterS county know about the nematode* re* laistant properties of these pens and*] about* the irOuHohs- effect of the ontt-i nary cow peas on land that has a ten* |deney to cotton Wilt' By another year WsJ shOOrd be- growing the Irorr am*-, Brabham-to therekctusiorrt)i' att oth? ers and- we- should- exert ourselves to get the pnre$t*-of these varieties for .planting where we expect ' to gather ! our seed8 this year: It does nofrrtahwj any difference whether or not we har* vest the peas for hay and feed1 It and] fetkfrn tht^mannre toJthwso1t.1 m ettfr .?* case the fin* win be1 befreftted un iesk'w* sen the hay.

But the ninety day bean matures from 20 to* so bueh lettt oT beans* and can be planted as late at thV first' of 'Jane. It Is Letter I to plant them lnr May. A common method of plahtiru? tffe beans is to plant 'two he'atis b< ween each hlfr of j com about the middle of May for ceafly planted corn. Trfey should be planted somewhat deeper than it Is necessary to plant peas as It requires more'moisture f or them to germinate:' These4 bean's make two or three times as much growth as the peas and are valuable in adding nitrogen'to the soil Odmpared with peas In the same pro? portion as thb amount of vines each produce. The velvet beans like Brab? ham' and iron' peat; do not hate' root knot. The oat crop is already cut very short and wheat will not be as good as It would have been, if we had had more rain In February and the ftnst part of March . I should' like to call the attention of the farmers who1 are offering peas for sale at a dollar a bushel or less, to their feeding value. There are sixty pounds of peas and only 56'pounds of corn, to the bushel, and the peas are much higher In protein, one of the costliest elements in feeds. It seems to me that it would pay well to feed at least a half ration of peas to all of our hogs and nearly a half ration to our work stock, especially those who are In a position to have these feeds cracked and mixed together.

Washington, May 6.?The Navy League has hied a libel suit against Henry Ford In the District/ Supreme Court. False* statements- are charged concerning the League's backers. Admiral Wlnslow, commanding the Pacific fleet, reports that a British cruiser seized the schooner Leanor, i flying the Mexican flag, but belonging to* the German vice consul at Quay mas. The schooner was enroute from Mnnzanlllo to San Bias. Many telegrams received today urge President Wilson to accept the Ger? man pledge. It Is believed if the new ordere are followed there will be no further cause for a break. Another violation would call for an Immediate break without notice. Strike at Schenectady.

This filthy insect is the chief disseminator of disease and the most active agent In causing preventable Illness and deaths. The economic loss amounts yearly to millions. "Live and let live" Is a fine old say? ing; but It Is evil If It leads to sparing the fly. Somewhat the same effect Is had from Ruskin's humorous account of the importurtable fly lighting on the back ot the hand that tears itself locke like an acre of ground and slaps at him. The smile gives pardon; but the fly's life has become-forfeit with the deaths of babies There may still be a few Uncle Tobys who will take a tormenting fly to the window and say: "Why should I hurt thee? This world is surely wide enough to hold both thee and me." Science, how? ever, has written the death warrant of the fly as an unmitigated evil, yet late as a decade or two a*;o the fly was regarded as a scavenger. These tol? erant views came in an age of ignor? ance or of sentimentality. Uncle Toby's ereator Is the author of the "Sentimental Journey," which wee written in an age when "sensibility" was sought after and sobbed over. A mote common sense age knows that the fly means death. To destroy the fly Is a necessary health measure. Wllh him. go most of the typhoid, scarlet' fever, and much of the tuber? culosis. Cleanliness is the surest pre? ventive of the fly and, oonsequently, of diseasei The time to enforce one's purpose Is now?with a swift, sure nwat.?The State. \ Those who have signed pledges lor Ohkutaaqua tickets are asked to get thorn at once, or just as soon as pos? sible, as already . there have been nearly a hundred and fifty requests ifon tickets over the one thousand j which were pledged last year, and ithose In charge wish to know whether lull of thousand are wanted by thoso I who have pledged* to take them, as It Will be Impossible to sell more than the thousand at tho $2.60 price.
