IIEARN Editor and Publisher, r. W. ITanna, authorized representative. Hon. Augustus Ousley Stanley, who has received the Demo cratic nomination for Governor of Kentucky, had no choice in the selection of his birth-place. But it was a mighty good place all the same. It was the childhood home of the editor of The Advertiser, Shelbyville, Kentucky. The father of Mr- Stan ley was associate editor of the Shelbyville Sentinel. nwne<l lw the father of this editor. So congratulations of the Advertiser are extended most heartily to ^ Governor to-be Hon. A. O. Stanley. LOOKING UP. NOT DOWN This paper is an optimits and would be glad to innoculate its readers with that germ. We look forward and not backward and can see in our minds' eye great prosperity for the South and for South Carolina in particular. This State's location on \the sea coast, with shipping facilities steadily increasing with the completion of the Panama Canal, its productive soil, its varied agricultural resources all unite in making a great future for grand old South Carolina. The advice to every citizen is s to be an optimist and be a booster. Proclaim the advantage, the opportunities, the resources of South Carolina in general and of Chesterfield and Chesterfield county in particular. Believe in your own State, your own county and your own town. There is a scriptural injunction to the effect that whatsoever you believe you have them. There is ,vonderful power in faith?faith in yourself, faith in your own local ity. But to quote scripture again, ' Faith without work is dead?" So get right down to work. Work for the best interest of your community and you will be doubly rewarded in the consciousness of having done your duty and in the good results that will follow. Yes indeed we are an optimist, ?closely related to Mr.Opp, the Kentucky editor, made immortal by Mrs. Alice llegan Kice, *1./% ? 1, 4- ~ "HI? !?' " tuc uuiiiui ui iurs. w lggs OI the Cabbage Patch" and several other very optimistic books. Mrs. Wiggs, it will be remembered said she "put'all of her troubles in a box and sat down on the lid." That's what. "Look up not down, look out not in and lend a hand" and we will go marching along to prosperity and South Caroliua homes will blossom as the rose. - TO BOOST THE FAIR Chesterfield county has already held three thoroughly successful county fairs, the last one better than the others. Preparation for the coming Fair in November are moving along smoothly and there's 110 doubt but this one will for eclipse its predecessors. The committee in charge is doing everything within its power to insure success. Put too i'iuvn uiuBu iiui ue jeit [O iup j committee. They cannot do . everything. For this Fair to achieve the greatest usefulness possible it must have the hearty pupport und active co-operation of the citizens of town and county And right here is a suggestion for Chesterfield's liberal, publicspirited citizens to aid in a t^ery i ffective way. What do you say to a Booster Trip throughout the county? Not i ecessarily one, but one or more. This method certainly is effective in arousing interest and enthusiasm. Even Oheraw might be effectively invaded. Enthusiasm is more contagious than measles. Booster trips will tpread contagion over every rqnare foot in the county. The expense involved in this method of advertising is slight and the prospective returns-enormous. A little "pep" right now will help w (inderfully. Not Poll Fodder The following excellent letter was published in the current ipsue ot the Progressive Farmer: I will not pull fodder in 1915 for many reasons. 1 quit the habit about six years ago. It takes more time to harvest a crop by pulling fodder, and I find more fodder damaged by fall rains where the fodder is pulled and tops cut than where the corn is cut at the ground and properly shocked. Corn does not mature as well after the fodder is pulled and tops cut, so the grain is not as heavy as when cut at the ground. Last fall we had continued rain and some of my neighbors said we would have to pull fodder in order co save it, but 1 said the wet weather made it more necessary to cut and shock cue corn man u it nau ueen dry weather. I let my corn stand | until two-thirds to three-fourths of the shucks were brown then cut when the fodder was not wet and shocked in medium-sized shocks, and then let it stand for six weeks or longer to ripen the stover and [thoroughly dry the corn. 1 had the best fodder in the neighborhood, and one neighbor came and swapped 6ome of his corn for some of mine, as his was chaffy and that I raised was firm and made better meal, yet we both planted the same kind of seed. Then by cutting the stover at the ground we get the stalks oil' the land, saving the extra stalk cutting and also lessening the temptation to burn stalks. I fed my stover to cattle in stalls, where they tramped the coarse stalks into manure, the stalks acting as an absorbent for the liquid manure. In the spring when I hauled the manure from the stalls (a habit I caught from reading The Progressive Farmer) 1 found the stalks completely rotten and broken up so tine as not to be cumbersome to handle or interfere with the crops on the land when applied to crimson clover and rye. The above" experience was here all the harvesting was done by hand labor. Of course | whore machinery was used it I makes it about ilnnhlv nrnfitahle I tr? cut corn, rather than pull fodder. I believe that there would be uiuch less stalk burning if we could got the farmers to realize that each ton of stover ontains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, worth not less than $5or.$f>, And having it at home thus saving the haul which "accompanies commercial fertilizer, makes it much more valuable, in my esti mation. Besides the actual.plant food it contains it adds humus to the soil. Dillon Mills, Ya. 11. J. Farmer. The Baptist Woman's Missionary Union.
