Niven, of sa jClemson, says: an "After working with farmers uj in all sections of the State for A three years, I am thorughly con- co vinced that there is only one ob- an stacle that prevents farmers J from being well supplied with t?!i fruit from their own farms the hi year round, and that obstacle is Ri the lack of proper care of or- pi cbards." la It is the expressed aim of the ti writer in producing this bulletin in to supply needed imformation to dt the farmers along this line. in Each fruit has been discussed P' separately. Territories to which ti the various varieties are suited hi arc indicated; methods of plant- t< ing, fertilizing, spraying, prun- VS ing, budding and grafting are ti given in a perfectly clear aud tr understandable nniuner. si This bulletin is free for the w asking, aud in the hands of Ches 01 terlield county farmers should tl be worth thousands of dollars to U| the territory. mi- . - ? ? ? 1 j.uere is prooaoiy no otner one pi item in which Chesterfield eoun- hi ty is so lacking as in good home- ai grown fruit. A plentiful fruit ol supply will have notonly a direct r( linancial value but will uudoubt edly improve the health of the U community. li A careful study of this bulle- ti tin in connection with the excel- fi lent demonstration work now be- Ji ing done in this line by Mr. W. tl J. Tiller, county demonstration w agent, should prove of inestim- 01 able value to Chesterfield county ti in the near future is SOME TEUTONIC HYPOTHESES h At last we understand why n Germany has not whipped Eng- ^ land, France and llussia. It is ^ because that.countrv is not at .1; war with the United States also. N should war be declared be ^ tween the United States and s Gerinauy, say the German naval orticers, that country would be ^ relieved of the necessity of hav- ir ing any further regard for the tl United States and could set up N her own sea laws and proceed at e: once to destroy all merchantmen U approaching the British Isles. w "If England, then, is left to the U f.i.~ -1 -4 i! ? * 1 * * 1 mue sue at ursi pianneu ior us,' u say ithey, "when she is con- Ii fronted by starvation, she will V bo compelled to surrender un- n conditionally, unless she wishes 01 to be starved out. With the fall of England, however, Russia and France will also automatically T collapse like the organs of a body whose heart has been bored through. Then also America will remain isolated and must d for her part accept any conditions t< which we impose, because in the pc.oee treaties with our Euro- 11 poau foes we can, among other hi things, also demand the handing ct over of all large battleships and hi submarines, whereby our lleet w would become seven times the I strength of the American navy, ti Then America would simultane- tc ously be compelled to surrender g: and as a matter of course she ol would not only have to give up ti all the interned German liners, m but also pay all the war expendi- at tures of the Germanic powers and their allies."

Kenneth D McKeller, ?mber of the lower house of ngress, but recently elected S.

Savoyard, the brilliant news Eiper correspondent, pays tbii igli tribute to President Wilsoi id it is a just and true estimab ! the President's exalted ane ^sponsible position. "The office of President of th< nited States is the biggest pb tical job in the world.

Studio up a'airs over h^^keai Drfig Model Orchards 1 O.te acre model orchards are being set out in various sections of the coontv by Demonstuation Agent Tiller, assisted by Mr. O. ] F. Rivets, of Clemson. i These orchards are to be superintended as to Druning, spraying etc, by Mr. Tiller for a period of three years and are to s *rve as centers of instruction in this most important branch of; 1 f irming, as well as to demon- j J > st^ate what can be done in that j line. Many good farmers, Mr. Tiller! says, have 6pent money liberal. ly on fruit trees and have noth' i ig to show for it, when They C > might have had a fine orchard? Failure was due to wrong meth ods of pruning and lack of epray* iog. The orchard recently set out " is on the property of Mr. J. U. ^ King, near town. There is one on ? Mr. Kaynor's place near Page i md ; W. J. Black well, near Jef' t'erson ; one at l'airick and one - on Mr. In. P. vVatson's place t near Chesterfield. a There is a very fine demon. stratum orchard three years old - on the property of Mr. L. L a Parker at Pageland. Those who - think Chesterfield is not a good e fruit county shoul I see this one. 3 Good trees can be bought from t Olemson College as low as three 0 cents each. Apples, pears and nlums at 12'A cents and cherries - at 15. Grapes also at a very low s price. 3 | Mr. Tiller says that one reason e why fruit trees in the county 1 have Rufi'ered so severely is the difficulty of getting merchants e to han-llc the lime-sulphur solui tion for spraying. Hundreds of a barrels should be used every ', year heic and the merchant is a allowed to make 100 per cent on b his investment for handling tlie u cnenueais. 1 ne demand is alI, ready good, he saye and is bound i- to ii create as knowledge spreads i- of the benefits to be derived li therefrom. a " Attention Mr. Roosevelt i r ,v There is a happy negro living s on the tarm of Mr. R.
