V Flax Palp for Fine Paper Mills.
One of the most interesting new de?
velopments in the paper industry is
the manufacture in Canada of flax
pulp. The bureau of plant industry of
the United States department of ag?
riculture has been investigating the
matter for some time.
Arthur D. Little. Ltd.. has under?
taken the production of flax pulp In a
sxrge commercial way. The flax pulp
Is not a substitute for wood pulp, but
Is used. Ir. finer grades of paper. It Is
expected to be used Instead of rags as
It (a believed It can be sold more
cheaply than rags can be bought.
Ia Canada alone some (100,000 tons
of flax straw goee to waste each year,
la the United States fully three times
that mucA is wssted, so the Industry
may spread to this country. Tho Ut?
ile company has experimented with
the flax pulp In their Boston plant
and It has been tried by many mills
both In the United States and Canada
and found satisfactory In every way.
afoot of the flax grown in the United
States and Canada is for the oil. Some
of It In for Abre, but very little. The
straw from the seed flax does not fur
a flbrv suitable for textile pur
and so formerly has been
wasted. The lew vise for it will be a
great aid to llax termers. An official
of Arthur D. Little. Ltd.. is credited in
the Well Street Journal with the
statement that if they could get all
the waste straw It would mean $2..

Dwarf Essex Rape,
Clemson College, S. C, March 3.
?Draft Essex rape has not been
grown to the extent It should, in
South Carolina, for the simple rea?
son that many farmers have never
seen or heard of it, and only in
recent years has it been growTn in
the State. Rape requires very fer?
tile soil, and it is out of the question
to attempt its growth on any but very
rich soils, unless the soil can be very
highly manured. It is a vigorous
grower, furnishing an immense
amount of excellent grazing during
practically every month of the year,
it will pay to make heavy applica?
tions of manure or fertilizer before
seeding, and get ready returns by so
doing. Seed at the rate of about
three pounds per acre in the drill
or from five to six pounds per acre
broadcast. Seeded in rows, it can be
cut and fed in the lot, and will per?
haps last longer than if grazed, but
it may be best to sow broadcast, di?
viding the lot and grazing one while
tho other is making a rew growth.
Rape may be safely grazed in fifty
days or less on good lands, but care
must be taken that the plants are
not grazed too closely. Allow the
rape to become well rooted before
turning the stock on, or the young
plants will be pulled up by the roots.
Rape, besides being" excellent Dor
grazing makes a splendid table
salad, and should find a placo in
every farmer's garden.
Sow some rape as soon as the
land can be prepared.
Marketing Strawberries.
Clemson College, S. C., March 22.?
The Couty Demonstrator of Horry
county and the State Market Agent
of Clemson College have been busily
engaged for the past three weeks, in
establishing an efficient marketing
plan for the marketing of strawberries
in that county. This couity as well
as Columbus county of North Caro?
lina, grow some of the finest straw?
berries in the country. This vicinity
is particularly well adap.ed to the
growing of this crop but the great?
est problem was that of marketing.
The first step towards better mar?
keting was brought about by or?
ganizing the growers into unions or
cooperative associations. When the
growers are organized into such as-'
soclatlons, they can improve their
grades and besides, attract the pro?
duce trade on account of their in?
creased volume. As the volume of
shipping increases, so in proportion
will the associations attract big
marketing agencies.
The State Market Agent succeeded
in Interesting one of the largest mar?
keting agencies in the United States
in coming to Horry county and make
a proposition to the strawberry grow?
ers of that county. As a result, the
associations have signed up with this
marketing agency and have employed
this exchange to market the straw?
berry crop. This marketing agency has
salesmen in every one of the import?
ant markets and can reach markets in
a manner that would bo prohibitive
to the association working alone. This
exchange does no buying or consign?
ing but operates strictly to sell. It
makes a specialty of selling for co?
operative associations.
Heretofore, the strawberry grow?
ers wero either bound hand and foot
to the local buyers or brokers, or the
strawberries had to be consigned and
shipped to markets where they were
disposed of just as the commission
merchant found to his best interest.
Under the new arrangement, the
growers will be kept in daily touch
with all of the markets and if tho bids
from the local buyers or brokers arci
not in line with the markets, the cars
will be ordered to roll to the market
where they will be sold direct to the
trace by the association representa?
tives or salesmen. I
This is the most logical and the
most practical marketing schema yet
employed and the strawberry grow?
ers are to bo congratulated for usln^
such good judgment.

superintendent of the city schools will
be glad to confer with them.
As was announced last year, in ad?
dition to tho regular work done in
the high school, It has oeen deter?
mined to have for all graduates of
the high school certain minimum re?
quirements in arithmetic, geography,
and spelling. Special drill has been
given in arithmetic during the year
for accuracy and speed in dealing
with members. A list of 160 words
j hay been selected which every gradu
ate of the high school is expected to
I know. During their course the stu?
dents spell several thousand words;
but this is a minimum requirement of
a carefully selected list of words.
The minimum requirements in
geography will be published from
time to time and the students will do
well to cut these out and paste them
In the back of some book for ready
reference. It will save having to copy
them at school.

Health Hints Girls Won't Follow.
Every woman wishes to be beauti?
ful, and beauty and health are
synonymous. So in order to maintain
health and beauty the Life Extension
Institute advises girls and young wo?
men to go to bed early every night,
to shun cake, and under no circum?
stances to eat ice cream or candy.
The Institute might have suggested
with the same degree of being obeyed
for girls to quit using face powder,
or wearing corsets, or talking about
clothes.?Southern Underwriter.
A Man and His Town.
It is not often that one hears a man
using the hammer on his home town
or city, but occassionally one runs
across his species. He is the fellow
who imagines that he has outgrown
his community, he longs for a larger
and broader field wherin his brains
and remarkable ability can find more
play. He is sorry for his fellow citi?
zens who are compelled by fate to
live in a town that has no excuse for
existence. He never stops to reflect
on the fact that a town or city is
Just what its people make it; its
standards are the standards of its
people. "Nearly every town," says an
exchange, "has its home detractors
who think it 'smart* to call it a 'jay'
town. Of course, if a man's town is
not sport> enough for him he ought
to move; whether that would help
him or not. it would help the town.
It is not the sport or the sportiness
that makes a town. Most towns are
made by the 'jays' who attend strict?
ly to business. Edison who gave the
bright lights to the Great White way
was a jay and is yet. Come to think
of it and examine the list ,it will be
seen that nearly every man in art.
science, literature, production and
commerce in all America today either
is, or has been a jay. It is a safe rule
that the jay who runs his own busi?
ness gets further alon~ and is worth
more to any town titan the 'sport'
who tries to run other people's busi?
ness.?Ashevllle Citizen.

The Inventor of the Circular 8aw.
Some discussion appeared recently
In several British technical publica*
tiona as to who :nvented the circular
saw, and the claim is mado that It
was invented and used by a wood turn?
er named Murray at Mansfield, Eng?
land, about tho year 1820. The first
saw is described as having been about
six inches in diameter, and was un?
doubtedly used on a wood turning
lathe operated by water power. James
Murray, the inventor, Is eald to have
been the son of "Old Joe Murray," the
favorite servant of Lord Byron.

Dizziness is never a disease of itself

These poisons attack the nerves and

to dizziness, there is good reason to
suspect your kidneys, and if you suffer
