The Chesterfield Advertiser ' PU BUSHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription, $1.00 a year." Advertising rates furnished on application. Entered as second-class matter at the postofflce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher, J. W. Hanna, authorised representative. About twenty-five South Carolina teachers are attending the Summer School at Knoxyille, Tennesee. If they have to go away from South Carolina, they cannot find a better place than Knoxville. When old man Hard Luck tackles The Cheraw Chronicle he has his hands full, for Mr Stricklin is not easy to defeat. The big press on which the paper is printed, broke down last week at a critical moment, but nothing daunted, the paper came out on -time, slightly abreviated, but till in the ring . Much credit is due to Mr. R. A. Rouse, County Superintendent of Education, for bringing the State Demonstration agents to Chesterfield. It appears to The Advertiser that Mr. Rouse is an excellent official in the right place and deserves the hearty support in his efforts of the entire county. That Cheraw is entitled to her chosen pseudoym, the "Tip-Top Town." we do not care tofirainsav. but she is compelled to admit that she does not occupy the tiptop all alone. If comparisons between Chesterfield and Oheraw are to be made on the basis of the relative merits of the respective base ball teams, Chesterfield is entitled to notch a little higher than "tip-top." Clemson College advises farmers to sow Bermuda grass for pas-turage. It is recognized as the best pasture grass for the South and while Spring is the best time for sowing Bermuda good results can be obtained in this state under favorable conditions by sowing now and it is better for a man to sow Bermuda now than not at all, if he is in need of pasturage. At a recent meeting of the South Carolina Farmers Union, held in Columbia, Gov. Manning indorsed the idea of a state warehouse Bystem but added that the ware house act in this state needed certain amendments, lie expressed the opinion that the outlook in South Carolina is brighter than last year. The governor believes that the farmers are better prepared now than they were last year. When this cruel war is over the South will be called upon to furnish food and clothing for the world. It is a case of good out of eyil. No man knows how the war will end but whatever the result the people will need the products of our farm and to feed and clothe the world is a big contract but a contract that America can fill. With the South diversifying its crops rais jug wheat, corn, tobacco and forage crops, and other things besides cotton, this section will become more prosperous than it has ever been even in the palmy days before the Civil War. Let us all work to that end and we we will reap bountifully where we have sown bountifully. The Chesterfield County Fair ^ ran be made a wonderful success jf all our people strive to make it so. As the money received from various sources during the Fair above expenses is put back into the improvement of the grounds, each year will see a H *_ j i -Ai - - n * h , Digger aim ueuer rair. i.et ull B ?,ur people, farmers and business B men, work for the Fair.

HE Let the boys on the farm take H an interest in this matter. In Georgia the boys'pig clubs and H 4 orn clnbs have taken some fine 1 DM premiums at the County and << B Htate Fairs. Let our boys do B 1 heir best and they will be well ( paid for their efforts. To keep B boys on the farm, make farm ^ life attractive. Give the boys a Bl 4 hance. They will make good I ? very time.

Twenty-five dollars in cash will be paid to the farmer making the best general exhibit at the County Fair this fall. Only two things will count: quality and variety. Now is the time to prepare to win fame and to take :his easy money. Ten dollars will be paid in cash jO the lady making the best exhibit of canned goods in glass, quality and variety being the liain points by which exhibits vill be judged. It is possible i Advises Clemson A Costly Practice?Reduces Yield I And Injures Seed. Other Good Advice* On the harvesting of the corn crop Clemson Oollege gives the 1 following good advise. 1 One of the most costly mis- \ takes of Southern farmers is fod- j der-pulling. Pulling fodder not i only reduces the yeild of corn j but also seriously injures the \ i vitality of the seed for the fol| lowing year. ( Experiments conducted in I South Carolina on the Coker < farm in Darlington County, i proved that when fodder was i puuea wnen the bottom leaves 1 began to turn, there was a loss e of at least 21 per cent, in the f yield of corn. If pulled when 1 three-fourths of the leaves were dry, the decrease in yeild wa3 ( about 10 per cent. 3 But this is not the only loss 1 from fodder-pulling. Pulling fod- I der has a serious effect upon the ( | next year's crop by lowering the i l vitality of the seed produced on < stalks from which fodder was i pulled. By pulling fodder, there- 1 fore, a man not only loses on his 1 current crop, but also damages his chances for producing a good I crop the following year. i A good authority on the sub- < ject advises that if a farmer feels i he must pull fodder, he should i leave at least two or three acres j of his crop unpulled and from 1 this select his seed corn. In this way he can keep up the quality of his seed and not suffer the second loss from pulling-fodder, that which comes through planting inferior seed, MORE UOOD ADVICE FROM CLEMSON ? Study and note the varieties of your own and your neighbors' vegetables this year and you will , be better able to make a good ? selection of varieties for your ? next order of seed. Are you making preparations c for your fall and winter garden? It is now time for planting rutabagas and Purple Top turnips, beets, fall beans, fall beets fall J cabbage and other hardy vege- 1 tables. ( Do not be misled by tree agents who says his trees are superior 1 because of their high price. If you want fruit trees, buy them | through your county demonstra- 1 tion agent, who will get good 1 trees for you at a reasonable price. Oletnson College urges farmers to sow large areas to oats this i fall. To this adyfee is added the warning that farmers should get j their oats in the ground early ( and not wait until late, as so many did last year. The seeding of oata should begin about the ^ end of September. Farmers are advised to sow enough wheat for home consumption. The state has every reason f to feel satisfied with the wheat v experiment ?-f last fall. Today w there are probably more flour ? mills in South Carolina than ever j before and the railroads have r] granted very favorable shipping rates. South Carolina is now in h position to raise enough wheat ^ for her own bread and this is what should be done. j( SUMM KK SCHOOL ^ Specially prepared courses for | farmers, teachers of rural schools n rural ministers and Corn Club boys will be given in the summer a school of Olemson College which ^ opens August 0 and continues until September 4. A largo at ^ tendance seems certain. About ninety Corn Club boys ^ will receive free courses at the n college during the summer school, these scholarships having C been awarded the boys as prizes a in their club work.

The Association announces :hat a contract has been closed with the Young Aeroplane Co., )f Kansas City, Mo., to furnish in aviator during three days of ihe Fair.
