The visitors, then, spoke words of encouragement to the school and congratulated the pupils on the splendid work that had been done. A very pretty ring was given Miss Gaddy by the school as a token of their appreciation to her for what she had done for them.At the close of the exercise there was a display of the written work done during the month.

Gulledge THE VALUE OF COVER CROPS Clemson College, August 31.?In connection with the increased interest now being aroused in cover crops by the cover crop drives being made by various county agents, the facts J and figures below are of importance. Cotton, following cowpeas, gave 511 pounds to the acre cotton, following cotton, yielded only 279 pounds. The results indicate the need of a balanced rotation. In the above instance, according to the Office of Farm Management, United States Department of Agriculture, both plots were of similiar soil and each had received 336 pounds of fertilize! to the acre. Oats, planted to follow crab grass, gave 7.1 bushels to the acre, but, coming after velvet beans, the yield was 28. C bushels?four times as much. Land left to "rest" does not improve as rapidly as when worked with a Rood cover crop. When corn was planted every three years and the land left to weeds in the intervals, the yield was only 18 bushels to each icre, but after five years of corn and crimson clover the yield increased to ">0 bushels an acre.
