Reports as to trade conditions ail
over the country are daily becoming
more encouraging. Confidence is beginning
to take the place of doubt and
uncertainty as to the future of business.
Production is on the increase
and normal conditions along all lines
are coming in sight. A better day is
dawning, the long night of distrust
and distress is giving way to the sun
light of happiness and prosperity.
in aii this good cheer, Chesterfield
[county and Chesterfield will share.
FEDERAL LAND BANKS
It is gratifying to learn from a recent-decision
of the United States Supreme
Court that the Federal Land
banks are firmly established as part
of the great banking system of the
United States, and will be of great assistance
to farmers. Money can be secured
in this way from the Farm Loan
banks at G per cent, interest to buy or
improve or to erect or improve farm
buildings on farms and possibly for
other purposes looking to the perma
nent improvement of the farm.
The loan may run 3? years, however,
the borrower may, if he so desires,
pay annually with the interest
one per cent, of the amount borrowed;
thus making easy payments.
There are other advantages which
makes this by all odds the most desirable
way for a farmer to secure cheap
money for the betterment of the farm
or ior purcnasing a farm.
No loss than $100, nor more than
$10,000, can bo borrowed and at
least ten farmers must join the club to
secure it.
The decision of the Supreme Court,!
making the Federal Land banks valid
comes at a time when they will be of
vital importance to farmers who want
to buy land or make improvements.
POOR OLD GERMANY
Since Germany lost the war and
lost the Kaiser too, a pe culiar condition
has developed among some of the
people of that unfortunate country.
They have become luny on the subject
of spirit rapping and witchcraft. They
consult mediums and clairvoyants as
to what the future has in store for
them. The present conditions are so'
unsatisfactory that they want comfort
and solace in what the fortune tellers
and sooth sayers can tell them.
One of their papers says the spirit
or raping craze is extending to all
classes. If we could shut our eyes
and shut out of our minds the cruelty
and wickedness of the Kaiser's war
there would be some pity in our hearts
for the German nation.
DEATH OF JOHN BURROUGHS
John Burroughs, the famous naturalist,
died suddenly on a pullman car
when returning from California,
where he had spent the winter. He was
a lover of nature and had written a
great many books about outdoor life,
birds and flowers.
His body was buried in the Catskill
mountains, April 3rd, the eighty
fourth anniversary of his birth. The
last words uttered by Mr. Burrougs
were, "How far are we from home?"
His home was amid the rugged hillr
near the Hudson river, where he had
spent his life, studying nature in its
varied phases. He was a pholosopher,
as well as a naturalist, but in all of his
numerous books, the love of nature,
was everywhere in evidence.
He wrote many beautiful poems,
one entitled "Waitinir." has these two
characteristic stanzas:
"Serene I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more' prainst time or fate.
For lo! mine own shall come to me,
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
hi&h ,
Can keep my own from me."

| PROPER PLANTING OF PEAS
GIVES ALL-SEASON SUPPLY
I In planting garden peas first prepare
| the soil the same as for other crops,
then scatter a little fertilizer where
the row is to be planted and rake this
into the soil. Next stretch a line and
make a deep mark with the corner of
the hoe. The bottom of this mark
should be at least 3 inches across so
that the seed can be spread somewhat
and not crowded too closely together.
Scatter the seed in this furrow 15 or
20 seeds to the foot, then cover about
3 inches deep and slightly firm the soil
over the seed with the back of the
hoe. About two weeks will generally
elapse before the sprout above the
ground.
At least three, and preferable four,
plantings should be made at intervals
of two weeks in order to keep up a
continuous supp y, advises the United
States Department of Agriculture. If
the first planting is of Alaska the second
should be of Gradus or Thomas
Laxton, while thL. third should be of
Excelsior and the fourth of Telephone
or some similiar variety. This will
guarantee a continuous supply.
There is nothing particularly difficult
about the cultivation of peas?just
keep them well hoed and properly
trained upon the brush or wire trellito
keep them off the ground. After
the peas are all gathered the vines and
trellis can be removed and the ground
planted to late potatoes, late cabbage
spinach, turnips, late snap beans, or
any erop that it is desired to grow
I during the late summer or fall
months.

GARDEN NOTES
Celery seed may be sown as late as
the end of the first week in April. To
encourage rapid growth the plants
should be watered frequently during a
drought. The Giant Paschal and Winter
Queen are two of the best varieties.
The Golden Self-Blanching is
the best variety to use if you expect
to bleach the plants by means of
boards, tile or paper.
In order to have nice, hardheaded
lettuce the plants should be thinned
so as to stand not less than 8 to 12
inches apart in the rows. When allowed
to grow thick the plants will not
head satisfactorily. The Improved
llanson is one of the best varieties
for planting at this season.
In order to have a supply of salsify
(vegetables oyster) for use during
the winter months it is necessary to
plant the seed during late March or
early April. After the plants are up
to a good stand thin them out to one
or two inches apart in the row. The
Mammoth Sandwich Island is the best
variety of salsify for the South.
The carrot is a most valuable vegetable
for winter use. It will remain in
the soil without protection throughout
the winter, and may he used as needed.
Plant and cultivate as you would
salsify. The Chantenay or Model is
the most desirable variety.
The seed of cushaw should be planted!
very much in the same way as
watermelon, in hills about 10 feet
apart each way; or they may be planted
in the cornfield in missing places.
One dozen hills of cushaw will produce
enough fruit to supply the table
throughout the fall and winter
months. The melons are harvested
soon after frost and stored in the
barn or cellar where they will keep
perfectly until midwinter.
The Georgia collard is a valuable
plant for winter greens. Seed planted
about the first of April will be ready
for transplanting to the garden about
the middle of July or the first of
August.?Clemson College.
GET AN EARLY CROP OF COTTON
The following practices are advisable
in getting an early crop of cotton
under boll weevil conditions, says
Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist.
1. Thorough preparation of the
seed-bed.
2. Application of a fertilizer containing
a small amount of readily
available ammonia. The fertilizer
should be well mixed with the soil
before planting, so that seed will not
come in direct contact with fertilizer.
3. Planting of only varieties that
have proved their worth under boll
weevil conditions. The following arc
recommended: (a) Short staple cotton,
on land free from wilt, Cleveland
Big Boll; wilt-infested land,
Dixie Triumph; (b) Long staple cotton,
Delta Type Webber and Webber
49.
4. Working the cotton well so it is
never stunted by weeds.
5. Chopping early nnd leaving
plants close in drill.
6. The delinting of seed where convenient.
Delinting is especially valuable
when conditions are unfavorable
for seed germination. It hastens germination
from two to eight days depending
on soil and climatic condii
: r* ?
nuns. lA-iinied seea can be more evenly
lanted, and it requires fewer seed
to plant an acre. Below aie directions
for delintitn* with sulphuric acid.
Dcliniing cotton seed materials
needed: Concentrated sulphuric acid
about 9 pounds for each bushel of
seed. Three woj'lcn or earthen tubs,
one of which should have a number of
small holes in the center of the bottom
with a copper wire screen over
them to prevent the seed from passing
through. A large glass or earthen
funnel with a screen may be used
instead. Plenty of water.
Directions for treating seed: Place
seed in tub "A" which has no holes
in bottom and cover with acid five to
ten minutes. Stir seed constantly
with a wooden stick until lint is removc
d. Next pour seed and acid in
tub "B," which has holes in bottom
and which has been placed over tub
which has no holes in bottom.
As soon as the aeid is drained off,
wash until free from acid. If a good
stream of running water is applied
this does not take long. Spread seed
on floor or on sheets in
dry. When dry they are ready to
plant.
Cautions: If left unnecessarily
long in the acid the seed wil be killed.
Wooden tubs must be tight tubs
which require to be tightened by
iwc llinpr with water will not do, as the
jcid takes all the water out of the
vood. Acid must be handled with care,
for it will eat holes in any clothing
which it touches.

"It's that way with everything we !
look forward to," observed the hotel- ,
keeper, sadly. "Man always will he,
hut Is never blest, as some half-baked
! poet remarked. Young Gooseworthy
was In here last evening, bubbling over
I with happiness. There wasn't anybody
around, so he took me Into his

he's perfectly satisfied that his mar- i

I that he's going to do something original
when he gets married, but the !
, Idea Isn't new. Men have been getting !
married ever since Christopher dls;
covered Columbus. Ohio, and every
doggone man Jack of them had the
Idea that everlasting bliss was going
to be Inaugurated on the wedding day. '
"I listened to Gooseworthy for three
hours, and hadn't the heart to say ,
anything that would dampen his en- |
thuslasm. His twittering recalled the i
: long vanished days when I was get- |
! ting ready to be married. I felt about
It then Just as he does now. I thought

My wife lived up to all the pluns and

! the best women In the United States,
'. but I hadn't been married three
. months before I had a sneaking conj
vlctlon that the man who gets married
'I Is a chump. i
"A good many optimists say that a
, married man doesn't need any more
money than a single one. If he marries
I the right sort of woman, hut they

Five Minute Chats
on Our Presidents
By JAMES MORGAN

LAST OF THE VIRGINIANS
1817?James Monroe, Inaugurated
fifth president, aged
fifty-eight.
1831?July 4, died in New York,
aged seventy-three.
O
JTONHOE'S administration was
'A the most Berene and yet one of
p most Important periods In the life
the nation. It was an eight years
:nvded with glorious and lasting vicrles
of peace, such victories <as
'ords never can win.
By a mere exchange of notes beeen
the United States and England,
ose two jealous neighbors pledged
emseltes to disarm forever on the
eat lakes. By a common-sense busiss
transaction, Florida, which was
little use to Spain, but of much
e to the United States, was bought
er the counter In 1820, a peaceable
nquest that ranks only second to
e Louisiana purchase. By a civil no?e
to the old world, In 1823, the
t>ole new world was set aside under
c Monroe doctrine as an Immense
eserve of International peace. By
ve-and-take In the Missouri coroproIse
In 1820, North and South were

Monroe's two terms cover what is
town as the "era of good feelings."

Yet that "era of good feeling"
ally was filled with many bitter

and the quarrels of factions,

cabinets in history, and, with John
