Editor and Publisher. If the sale of War Savings Stamps ' if to be successful it will be necessary for every man, woman and child to own at least $20.00 worth of these gilt-edge securities. It may be in ' teresting to know how nearly Ches terfild County is approaching its patriotic quota. On February 23d the per capita sales in Chesterfield C aunty equalled the great sum of 5 cents. Our soldier boys who are sacrificing everything to make our homes safe from the Huns will be inclined to judge our patriotism by this showing If we are not to be so judged it is U| I to us to prove that our patriotism i.? not in the ratio of 5 cents to $20.00. STEVENSON ON HIS METTLE Our Congressman, Hon. William H. Stevenson, although a new member, is holding his own against all comers. In a letter written by Congressman Fuller, of Massachusetts, that gentleman said the Committee on Expenditures in the Interior Department hail never held a meeting. Mr. Stevenson being of that committee in a few (characteristic remarks as reported in the Congressional Record of Febru. ary 27 used this rather vigorous language: "I call upon him, (Mr. l? uller) to retract the statement that that n/\mmiHnn Vine tiPVur m(?l hfW'.'Ul.SO if ^B he says he was there, then necessarily |fl he admits that that statment is inB correct if he was there he knew it was incorrect and he deliberately said B so." This statement by Mr. StevenH son was greeted with applause by the B members of Congress. It is propel W to say that before the remarks here 1 quoted Mr. Stevenson also said: I "I did not intend to inject mysolt r into this matter. 1 am one of the new members, and 1 do not believe in in^ terfering in matters generally, but there was a statement in the paper that was read here that said that he resigned from the Co: imittee on Ex' % penditures in the Interior Department, and that the c imittee never had had a meeting." On February 2b Mr. Stevenson l.iade a short, but effective speech, on l'ederal Control of Railroad Trans portation. He was replying to : speech by Congressman Moore, o! Pennsylvania, who advocated -.n advance in rates for the railr ids that are now under gov or an i at control Mr. Stevenson said: "1 want to call the attention of the House to the fact that the raising oi changing of lates is tin? most demo, alizing thing on the business of th< country that can pw sibly be imagm td. if you make a rate that is not i proper one, you will demoralize busi ness, because all the business of tin great manufacturing concerns ar? conducted on the proposition th;u they will maxe ihe.r contracts basei. upon the rate to tne place where tlicy soli. Thai enters into every conlrac for sale, and if the rate is too h;g.. you w:ll cause millions of dollars <?; loss to the manufacturing interest., ol this country, because you have : rate which will make unprofitabh every contract that is outstanding." MONEY IN CASTOR 3EANS There is money in raising cnslo: beans. Because you don't like the taste of castor oil is no reason why you should not raise castor beans. The government will not force you to take the oil if you don't like it nor wiil it force you to raise castor beans but it will buy all the caste' l.va..-> you can raise and will pay you a good price for them. The government wants castor oil for its airplanes and it wants plenty of it. The Department of Agriculture will scndFarmers' Bulletin No. 19G that will tell how to cultivate castor beans. Rockc .Tier made all of lus money in oii and farmers can make some oil monev too if they go to raising cas tor beans. JAPAN IS NO SLACKER Those who are under the impression th^t Japan has not been doing anything in the war to help the Allies may be interested in knowing that since August 1914 the protection of British trade north of Hong Konp, China, has been left entirely to the Japanese fleet and that fleet has been busy in patroling the eastern seas, leaving British naval vessels free to transport troops and engage in other activities. At this Jjgrif ing it looks as if Japan would go info'Siberia and protect the immense supply of food stuff stored in that country, preventing it from falling into the hands of the Germans.

Though grown by a great many. ! there are few people who care for their strawberry beds as they should, j thereby losing the benefits to be de rived from a well-carcd-for bed. Th > | strawberry thrives best on a rich, i sandy loam soil, but will grow well on ' any rich, well-drained soil that is not j too stiff. Thorough preparation. I which consists of breaking deeply, ; md harrowing until the soil is well pulverized cannot be too strongly j stressed. When stable manure is to i tie had. It should be broadcasted over he land and thoroughly worked in iuring the preparation. The use of both well-rotted stable manure and commercial fertilizer is recommended. The latter should bo i complete mixture such as an 8-4-1. ir a home mixture consisting of 20<? pounds of cotton seed meal and 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate. An additional application of nitrate of soda may he applied in the spring at ihe rate of 50 to 75 pounds per acre, in applying commercial fertilizer a* least 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre diould be applied and this distribute 1 n the drill where It should be thor Highly mixed with the first few inches 3f soil. Preparatory to planting strawberries run the rows off as you would ror cotton, two and a half to three feet apart. After applying the fertilizer plant the strawberries on the level anil from fourteen to eighteen inches apart in the row. All dead leaves and bruised roots should he removed before sot ting and the plants put in a rather lar s hole so that the roots can he well spread in setting. Special care should he taken to pack the dirt flrnily around the roots and not to cover the crowns with soil. Among some of the best varieties for the South are the Excelsior, Lady Thompson (early varieties); Klondike. Clyde, and flaverland (mid-season); and the Urandywine and Gandy (late season). The plants do best when set out In October and November though they are sometimes set out In the spring. Karlv fall planting will give a small crop the following spring. In selecting plants to set out only use the new plants having strong root systems. These can easily he distinguished from the old plants by their white roots. The cultural method is largely datermined by the extent of the planting. However, a combination of mulching and clean cultivation is recommended, though either may be practiced alone. During the first season. clean culture should be practiced. At the end of the first irrowinir season all (load and missing plants should be reset followed by tlie broadcasting and working into the soil of a liberal application of well-rotted barnyard manure. Thorough cultivation having been completed, apply a mulch (a lay er of 2 to 5 inches in depth) of pine needles, oat straw or similar material; thus retaining the moisture and protecting the berries f om grit and sand. At the end of the bar . t season the mulch should he removed or incorpo rated into the soil. ;h!s being determined by the condition of mulch The bed should then be given clean cultivation and an application of fertiliser and mulched again during the early fall. The bed is unprofitable after the third hearing season. Young plants, for the new bed. may be grown by allowing runners, which form early in the season, to take root. Horticultural Project, Extension D! vision, Olemson College, S. C. nn A-rr ct i n/r o-taai^ rnu 1 Cb l i_ I V L_ o I uon rnum COLD. The winter thus far has heen unusually severe on live stock. It ia reasonable to expect two months more of disagreeable weather, and this fact demands that special provision ha made now to protect live s'ock from further exposure. Comfortable stabling and housing of live stock reduces materially the risk from diseases commonly caused by cold and exposure. It also helps to save feed as animals well housed do not need so much feed. See that your live stock are protected from drafts. Pneumonia and other serious troubles often develop in poor and draughty stables. R. L. SHILEDS. Jan. 21, 1&18.

SHOULD TREAT SWEET POTATO Disinfect by Immersing In a Solution of Corrosive Sublimate. Some of the most destructive potato diseases are carried from the field Into storage Iti the fall, where these d'seases not only live but thrive durI; g the winter, producing serious lc ss.es.

The above j solution should be prepared only In ; a wooden container, which should be thoroughly cleaned after being used, j as corrosive sublimate Is a deadly j poison, and should be used only with < the greatest care. Recti, after being J disinfected, should be rinsed in pure I water and dried or bedded at once. j Probably the best container for the j above solution Is a barrel, and enough of the solution should be put in it <> j cover the quantity of potatoes to he | treated each time. One solution j should not be upp<1 more than three or i four times as it loses its strength and 1 effectiveness upon repeated use. I As potato diseases often live ove- j winter in the soil, it is essential that I only fresh soil should be used in pre- '' paring the beds. Woods earth, free from untlecayed leaves and twig;, = makes an exceptionally good bedding "oil. Rand Is often used and is just as good |it<ivided it is clean and free from the potato disease organisms. In rase you have a permanent bed. never bed your potatoes in the ol 1 mil.
