GREAT BASE BALL TEAM
MAY WINTER IN CHERAA
The Cheraw Board of Trade is ir
receipt of a most interesting proposition
from the Rochester Base Ball
Club, International League. This
great organization of players is
seeking a new home for winter training
and is looking with longing eyes
at Cheraw.
It is to be hoped that this laudable
desire of the Rochester Club can be
realized. It will incidentally prove a
great advertisement not only for
Cheraw, but for Chesterfield county.
The climate of this county is surpassed
by very few localities in the
.vorid. There is no better way for the
.voiid to find this out than through
the winter visit of a great base ball
team.

GOOD HOGS SHOW THE WAY
It is an easy matter to tell the Southern
planter that rifcht now he is the
victim of the one crop system which
rules in ninety-five per cent, of the
communities south of the Ohio River.
What he needs is to be shown the
way out and eased over the present
crisis. Don't get pessimistic for we
have weatherd worse storms than we
have on now, and did it without the
Federal Bank, the greatest safety
value our country has ever known.
But the planters of the south must
plant less acres to cotton for at least
a time and put more in grains and
grasses and have something to sell
besides cotton. The south has not only
grown the cotton the Northern man
wears, but he has bought a goodly
portion of the pork of the hog belt
farmer's raising. It is time he raised
his own at lenst, anit had some to sell
~~ / : ? -i
iMMurn, i nric I."- in' mini 'tniiiiiti tiuu
brings returns so quickly as the hog
or is there a live stock market into
whch the planter can enter so cheaply
as into the growing of pork.
When you have your own supply secured,
then sell to the market or to
your neighbor. There is a market every
day and if northern pork growers
can make money nine years out of
ten producing pork, then the southern
planter can to, for the latter has the
advantage of weather and open growing
seasons, and thea dvantage of
more crops he can grow. Pounds procured
on grasses and forage are the
cheaper pounds produced, and the
southern farmer has a large advantage
over his corn-belt brother. I have
seen on southern plantations where
nine different crops for pigs were
growing at the same time. Pure bred
seed stock of the right kind will help
you get started to growing profitable
pork and will fertilize your farms.
Story trying to grow your meat with
the native hog. You are wasting time
and feed.

dET BEHIND THE
r ORCHARD MOVEMENT
( Prune, Spray, Worm, Cultivate And
Plant Ask Your County Agent
I About "Orchard Week"
I
When planning the orchard, there
is one thing that farmers should bear
in mind. The orchard requires attention
and must receive such, else
all trees and vines put out will soon
go like thousands of other.* have
done in the State, and all the farmer
gets for his labor and money put into
the trees is a case of disappointment.
We urge you to give the trees a fair
trial and see the results. The methods
of caring for an orchard are indeed
simple and inexpensive and any farmer
in the State, who is not thoroughly
familiar with the methods, will get in
touch with the county agent or drop
him a card and asking for the infor
mation. This will be gladly gi 'en. The !
profits will greatly exceed the ex- J
pense.
The work to be done this full and ;
winter can be summed up briefly as
follows]
1. Select the site for the orchard,
which should be an elevated section,
not a high hill, but simply, as the far-!
mer would spepk of it, a little knoll. ,
This gives good air drainage and lessens
the danger of frost.
2. Prepare the soil thoroughly before
setting the trees. Break deep,
following with a cutaway in order to 1
get the soil as line possible. It is bet-1
tor to do this from two to four weeks'
before the trees are set out.
3. When setting the trees, if soil
is not in a good state of fertility, it j
will be well to haul a little woods earth
to place about the roots. If this cannot
be secured, get a little barnyard j
manure and thoroughly incorporate
with the soil that is placed around the
roots. This will enable the trees to
grow faster the following spring.
4. Be sure to dig the holes in which
the trees are placed deep enough to
allow trees to be about two inches
deeper"than they were in the nursery!
row and wide enough to allo.w all
roots to spread out full length.
5. Be sure to trim off roots ihat
were injured while removing frntn 1
the nursery row. Cut them off just
back of tl>e bruUe, leaving a smooth
cut. This enables them to heal quicker
and also lpssens the danger of dis-'
eases. Also "trin^'bff small branches'
and in case of peaches, cut them off
from 16 to . 18 inches uhpve the ^
IfPodtWChfiples
two feet above the ground.
t>. Give the trees the proper distance.
The following distances do
well for the home orchard; peaches,
18 feet each way; apples .10 feet each I
way; pears same as apples; plums and
cherries 20 feet each way; blackber-!
ries and dewberries make rows 5 feet
wide and set three feet in drill, dewberries
are often plant 4x4 and granes
8x8.
7. The following varieties are recommended
for the home orchard: Apples,
Red June, Horse, Early Harvest,
Stay men, LeConte, Bartlec and Seckel.
Plums, Wild Goose, Climax and
Abundance. Cherries, Early Richmond.
Peach, Mayflower, Greensboro,
Red Bird, Hileuy Belle, Carman,
Elberta, Old Mixon Free, Crovther's
Late. Blackberries, Early Harvest, Eldorudo
and Wilson. Dewberries, Lucretia.
Grapes, Moore's Early, Lutie,
Lindley, Delaware, Niagara, Concord
and Brighton.
The outline given above is ail that
is necessary to get the orchard start
ea. Lid's have an orchard on every
farm, raise our fruit as well as other
things to eat at home.
Work on the old orchard should begin
at once, and should consist of
thorough and careful spraying, pruning,
worming and cultivating. Why
these operations??
1. Pruning. Preserves the life,
health, and vigor of the tree by removing
dead, diseased and interferring
branches, concentrate the growth
into the fruit forming branches and
encourages new wood growth in support
of the next crop of frirt.
2. Spraying. Safe guards and prolongs
the life of the tree by repelling
insect and disease attacks, and decreases
the per cent, of decayed and
wormy fruit. However, it must be
clearly understood that different pests
require differnt sprays and that the
winter application of spray is mainly
for preserving the life of the tree.
3. Worming. "No legs, nor horses,
no root no tree." Therefore the
worms that burrow into the cgots of
the trees (the presence being indicated
by sap exudation or jelly near
the ground in the peach and plum and
yellowing of the apple and pear) must.
be dug and cut out as spraying does
not control this insect.
4. Cultivation. Aids in destroying
weeds and grass, reduces the harboring
places for insects, makes nlant.
food available and encourages tree
growth.
If you are interested in fruit growing
either on a small or large scale write,
'phone or ask your county agent or
banker concerning "Orchard Week"
i and arrange to attend some of the
field demonstrations that will be given
in pruning and spraying in vari1
ous counties during the week desigj
nated as "Orchard Weak."
