What farmiug is done is mostly done c by women and children in the \ countries at war. In eleven < 1 months of least year we export- j ed breadsutff amounting to $529,- I 838,753, that was three and a i half times as much as for this i lieriod the venr Kffnro rVk?-n shipments increased from .$5,- i 000,000 to $34,000,000 in the < same eleven months. War is an awful calamity for i any country but under the wise management of President Wilson we have not only been spared its horrors but are reaping a rich harvest from the conflict Europe's loss is our gain. As we had nothing to do with bringing on the war Europe cannot shake her gory locks at us. But as long as the old countries prefer fighting to farming we will let them light, while wo raise < corn, wheat and cotton to feed and clolli them. WAR'S TRAGEDIES. The great conflict now raging 1 in Europe has its lights and shadows, but more of the latter than the former. When we read of the deaths in our own community we know that there are sad and bleeding hearts in the bereaved home, but think of thousands upon thousands of homes in Europe which the angel of death is visiting every day. The awful tragedies of war are horrible to contemplate and yet the nations go on lighting as if it were a duty instead of a disaster. The correspondent of an English newspaper spent some time in a cemetery looking for the graves of friends. He prints the following letter scrawled in a childish hand and nailed to a board that marked a soldiers grave: "Dear Daddy: It is my birthday today, and your little daugh ter is six years old. She is having a little party of her friends J to tea, and mum my and I want you to come. Please aske your officer if he will let you. From a your.

He did not ^ see it, but, when his body was ' brought back to beeuterred, the ^ officer at the postoffice ordered 1 , it attached to the markings at 1 the grave. ^ The incident is indescribably 0 s;id, but it should arouse resent- '' ment only against those who v' brought on this war. The dead * English soldier gave his life for his country in a war which his * country did not seek. The responsiblity for this and tens of 11 thousands of other tragedies * lie heavy at the door of Prus- ^ sian militarism.

Believing t may prove at least interesting md possibly profitable to Oneserfield County farmers it is lerewioh printed: Darlington S. C.Jan. 9th 1916. VIr. E. W. Duval!, Cheraw, S. C Dear Sir?Replying to yours )f the 8th inst. J regard the diversification and rotation of :rops essential to successful [arming, and next to cotton, tobacco is the best and most valuible money crop which has been introduced in certain sections it uuv wmy anorcis diversification and another good money crop but the cultivation and handling of tobacco enable farmers more completely to util ze all available labor on their farms and pro luce crops of greater total value than by planting cotton alone. While tobacco con fiicts slightly with cotton, corn and other crops during the period ot 118 cultivation there is a great deal of work that can be done early in the season, at the end of the tobacco season, and in producing plants that, do not conllict with other farm work, and furnish employment for labor which would not otherwise be profitably employed. I have observed that farmers who have planted reasonable amounts of tobacco and cotton have produced more value and have done better than thriao wim " w <? x/ I t? 11 v> cuttou *lone. The culture and care of tobacco require* more time and itteniion tiian other crops and joes not allow the same amount. )f time for picuicing and fishing, but like other diversified crops it affords more profit and prosperity to the farmer. If any )ne does nor fully resolve to give ihe necessary time and attention to the varying demands of tobacco, and his farm in general, the less he undertakes to do, the ess he will bs likely to lose. Tobacco requires more potash than most other crops, and at this time we are confronted with i lack of it in our fertilizers, so hat it will be necessary foi hose who plant tobacco to select auds for the present that have tot recently been planted in to jacco. Tobacco does best on and* never planted 111 tobacco )efore or rested for nn# - - J 1 1 ml will do well after cotton, jut it should never be planted Iter pea.-, even though the crop >f peas was small, nor should it >e planted in ground that has >een too recently cleared. 1 ;now that it is u good practice o p.ant tobacco after peas and n new ground in the Old Belt o *lorth Carolina, and I have heard f a few instances of success lere, but it usually results in a' ery poor crop, if not an absoute failure. The Hurley tobacco crop in Kentucky has recently been ound to b? about one huni.reu lillion pounds short of expectaions, and there will probably e less tobacco planted in the >wer part of tins state and in lie eastern part of North Carona than last year The price f tobacco is fairly good at nres nt and we have quite as much ssuraiice of obtaining a goo;: In watch and jewelry repairig you want the best.

In regard to fertilizer I would advise five or six two horse wag on loads of horse stable manure pnr acre, and eight to twelve hundred pounds of the best to bacco fertilizer that can be ob tained from some reliable firm Good serf and well rotted leal mould would be valuable. Plant beds should be sowed ai soon as possible and Rhould b< covered over at once with tobac co cloth. Early crops as a rul< have proved best. It is very ad vantageous to have early planti and to get them out before th< weather gets too warm, becaUs* labor is more plentiful and thej live much easier and produce better tobacco. The best varities are the Wanr and Yellow Oronnko Whito Oronoko. A taole spoon of seed* barely struck level to one hun dred yards is the proper amount to plant now. Half this quantity should be sowed the firsl week in March on top of the cloth without removing it. These sned will come up later and will u >t interfere wii.h the tirst planting and will furnish nice plants for replanting. 1 hope this will be of some service to you.
