PAUL H. 1IKARN Kditor and Publisher. i THESE THREE There are now three important issues before the people of Chester- ^ field. j The decision in each case means a step forward or backward; three steps 1 must be taken. ' First, there is the town election, to i?c nciii on Tuesday, April 10th. ( The election of town officers is the ^ most important annual event facing a municipality. We believe every I true son of Chesterfield will do his : best to see that the best men possible , are elected to these offices. Chester- } field has made progress; she must ; continue to progress. She must, in a few days take another step; let it ; be a step forward. . Second, we are to vote on bonds for the enlargement of the Chester- j field High School on Tuesday, April , 17 th. On this cpiestion there is only one sensible view possible; only one action is thinkable. The school is so j crowded that it is unfair to expect good work, <>r good results from the efforts of the efficient corps of teachers. It has been impossible for the , pupils to make the most of their op- j porttmilies under the present conditions. School regulations have begn ( violated hy this overcrowding, we are informed, and the school may he penali/.ed by the State board, if this condition continues. We used to hear much about the unpardonable sin, but if we were a , preacher we would say that we believe the sin against childhood to be the most, unpardonable of all sins, | A theoretical or theological sin can- ( not he placed in the same class with i a sin like this. Rob a child of its op- ^ portunitios ami you have marred a | life and destroyed that which you can never replace. Repentance on I your part can never atone for the I harm done the lift* of your or your , neighbor's child. The voting of bonds for the en1; clement of the school facilities will be a good step <,n the path of progress. To refuse these bonds would ' be a retrograde movement of incon- . eoivable folly. Third: The question of waterworks j and sewerage is still before tlv people. This question cannot be brought to an issue under the ac recently passed until a majority of the free-holders sign a second petition, now at the three banks. It is estimated that the waterworks system wiil be self-supporting and will pay the interest on the bonds without an increase in taxes. It is believed that the insurance rate, now exorbitant, will be materially lessened. The health and comfort of the c -mmiinity will be greatly benefitted. It is said that the? lesson of the recent fire has been forgotten. We trust not. Should another fire start undet ( -nightly h <s favorable conditions a (large portion of Chesterfield would <> up iii smoke. In such an event ,a very heavy responsibility will rest on the shoulders of those who neglected to ta' e this step for preparedness. let it he said of Chesterfield: There | . is a well-officered town, with adej'va'te .school facilities and a modern | AaUTWorks ami sewerage system. I SAVE THOSE WOK I ff SAVING Onee upon ;t time in it town ahoul Lho size tluit Chesterfield was then 'tieie lived .. o.iod woman who was an inii.'.t pr diihit oiiist and there also lli.ed a had man who was opposed to * ' prohibition. Those two people belonged to op ! posing camps, as it were. Their j thoughts ran in such contrary chau- 1 I nols that they little imagined thai they were in harmony on one very ?. ! important point until eha.ice brought 1 Men. together one day and the sub I ' jo i of prohibition just naturally ' arose. a " 'Taint no use; 'taint no use. You .' 1 r-.n't do it." said he, "you can't stop 'em from drinking. They will have ; it in spite of your prohibition." i | "Hut if we can only keep it from he young hoys," said she. "You can do that, maybe," hut I ' you can't keep it from tlicm as al ready like it." ( I "O, I'm so glad y?u thinl: we can J save the boys," said this good lady, 'litis seems to us to epitomise the whole prohibition movement. There j is not o mm h eo cern about the con- , j firmed booze art ist, who spends so < I much money and effort to paint his < nose, .as there is to save the hoys. < Hut in order to make it hard for , the boys to get the confirmed devotee , , must also be put to some trouble. i UN I VERS All-HREEDOM i The Statute of Liberty Enlighten- ,i ! ing the World, in New York harbor ( is becoming a beacon of freedom to < nations.

You will understand from this that it will bo mpossible for us to accept any value- ^ :ion on improvements tUbt are not nsured at the time the loan is made. If borrowing fanners, therfore, <le 1 ore in their valuation their build- ^ ings, it will be advisable for them to lake steps to have such buildings iroperly insured.

Iapest ffl to f S TO HAVE THEfflJ Clemson College. S. C.?The cheapit way to feed animals is to have lem graze in pastures. It is an easy id sure way to make money. The "ofits per aero may not bo large but comparative large acroage can be jed with a small amount of man la >r. As all kinds of land may be used for razing tliere need not be any idle iml 011 the farm. Much land can be sod for grazing that is not suited tc aplo crops. Pastures occupy some f the best land in the country and iv a profit on it. For the cotton belt, Bermuda, Lesnleza. White Clover, and Bur Clover o the best plants to occ upy the pas- ' ire area and for any given quantity id area of land will carry the largest umber of animals. When well estab shed oil good land this combination ' plants will carry as many as four own cows per acre. A pasture that ill carry one grown cow per acre is good one. For the rest of ttie country, ex nd {Jg as far west as Kansas and Neraska, Kentucky and Canada Blue rasses and White Clover make the est pastures and these plants are ell adapted to the section indicated. blue grass pasture that will carry ne grown cow to the acre is re arded as exceptionally good; one | lat will carry a grown cow to two j cres is regarded as good. For certain types of land Canada Ine grass. Red Top and Alsike Cloer give the best grazing. For the country north of the cotton j nit the blue grasses and white clover j re so aggressive that they occupy ; md not otherwise used so that most f the good blue grass pastures of the nuntry are established by natural gencies and this is a desirable and isy way to get a good pasture. Most f the large area of land used for grazlg in tliis country Is occupied liv lants established by natural agencies :td sometimes this results in good razing, but often it results in very different grazing. In the cotton belt no pasture estnl* shed by natural agencies is comparele to a pasture sodded with Bermuda, espedeza, White Clover and Bur lover. As a rule if a cotton farmer ants a good pasture he must make Ilermuda may bo established by lanting a small piece of sod every ivo feet each way on land (bat has t en prepared as for oats or other I mall f rain. The sod may be put out ny time from April to October when Here is moisture enough to make the od live. White Clover may be sown i the early fall. Rur Clover tin the urr) is best sown in July. Lespeoza should be sown the latter part f February. Five pounds of White 'lover seed are enough for one acre; wenty five pounds of bur clover burrs ml twenty pounds of J.espedeza seed re sufficient for one acre. Clood pastures should he made grad* [ally as the time element permits of unking the cost small. Enough Rur 'lover ard Lespedeza to sow one acre a eh gives n start and seed from these mall areas can he sown on other areas mi t lie process continued until the loots are established over the entire r< a.

Time is often a valuable aid in farm operations and it I9 vory inexpensive. This is particularly true in establishing good pastures. A grown cow should gain two hundred and fifty pounds during the pasture season. With fairly good pastures and good management the gains per acre should be worth four to Ave dollars and may be more. This appears small when compared to cotton at $100 per acre and this difference Is just as great as it seems and yet the pasture farmer may make the most money. Unless land is scarce and limited it usually does not matter about the acre profits. What should be of interest is how much does the man make. The man labor on one acre of cotton may be greater than It Is on one hundred acres of pasture where beef cattle are bought in the spring nt the beginning of the season and sold at tho close of the season in in* liin. unt: in.111 may no uio requirod work on five thousand acres of pasture. Cotton is a much more intensive crop than pasture grass but extensive crops may be just as profitable as intensive crops. It Is really better for one to think of. how much money he Is going to make during the year rather than how much crop ha is going to make on one acre. v Near the middle of the cotton belt there is an area of country that ap- % pears to bo about one-half gullies. By pasturing that land a man made \ eight to ten thousand dollnrs a year. I There was plenty of land, such as it was. and lie used it. The fact that w h? was using largo areas of land did not worry him. Pasture farming is a very sure way to make money but. you must use comparatively large areas. With some pastures It pays to ro-. fate the animals. Let them grase one area for a while then change to a different area and In this way the grass in each field is given a good chance to grow while the animals aro grazing elsewhere. But this is not the way to manage a Bermuda pasture. Keep plenty of animals on a Bermuda sod to keep It grazed closo to the ground. By eating the best grasses animals encourage worthless weeds to grow In pastures and for litis reason It Is often advisable to run a mowing machine over them once or twice a year. Pastures need some shade but it takes| open land to grow good grass. The cattle graze, on the open areas . The cotton farmer may have somo excellent temporary pastures. A corn field where a good crop of peas or velvet beans have been grown as companion crops makes a valuable pasture for the fall season. The gains made in such pasture may be worth as much as ten dollars an acre. Other temporary pastures may be had with peanuts and soy beans and still others with rape and sorghum. Temporary pasture In the cotton belt may be made to supplement the permanent grazing areas to very great advantage. J Nitrate of soda, as a top dressing on Bermuda sod. can be made to pay good profits. lf should bo applied the flrat of May. Cotton is a very reliable crop but even cotton is not as sure as pastures. OWS; RAISE MORE MEAT | 4 It is probable that two large packing houses will be in operation in South Carolina beforo the year ends, and naturally this will create a bettor home market for our surplus meat an- < Imals than we have ever had before. Therefore, hold on to your brood mows; breed them to good pure brei boars; prepare In season for suitable forage crops and grain that the pigs may be pushed rapidly in their deveiopment. Under present conditions the brood sow is probably the most profitable of farm nninmls if managed judiciously, nogs In the corn belt are often called "mortgage lifters"; there's a reason.
