Indeed, 1 believe that while in the Mississippi he had fathered and fought for a bill to bar all proprietary prepaiations from the State.

W. Long, director of the Extension Service, who thinks tnat this will be an unusual opportunity for South Carolina people interested in co-operutive marketing. Carl Willlianis can tell the whole story of co-operation for selling cotton. He is one of the leaders in the organization of the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' Co-operative Assonia tion, which was the first stale asro ciation completing organization, .14, 000 farmers having signed the conI tract. The Oklahoma Association j under the leadership of Mr. Williams j and others, is selling the 1921 cotton j crop of that state under contract. I He is also president of the American Coition Growers' Exchange, which is ihe overhead cotton marketing association und m* which are federated the 'our or five state organizations already completed and to which will he added other organizations as they are completed. His condng to South Carolina should boost the organization work in this state and it is hoped that our farmers and others interested will make a point of hearing him at one of the four meetings. CONFERENCES TO BE HELD OVER THE STATE During the fall and winter a series of conferences for older boys and ;irls will be held in lending cities and .owns over the state under the auspices of the South Carolina Sunday School Association, according to lecent announcement by T.?nn C Palmer. general superintendent of the association who has headquarters in Spartanburg. These conferences, according to Mr. Palmer, are composed of boys or girls from fifteen to twenty-two years of age and will he run entirely by the young people themselves with .he counsel of an adu'l advisor. The purpose is to inspire and train them for better work in their own Sunday Schools. The program is based upon the idea of the four-fold life 'Physical, mental, social and religious, and the j idea is taken from the 111ole description of the jrrowth ot Jesus as a 'teen-at.e" boy. found in Luke 2if) 2 "And Jesus jrrow in wisdom and in i stature and in favor with God and Man." 1 The four clauses in this text, it is pointed out show that the growth of Jesus was a norma! md well balanced development-?mentai, physi cnl, relipious and social and in other words He was an 'all around Man." | This will be the first, time that a series of city-wide conferences for elder boys and pirls ha* been held in i South Carolina and much interest in j the plans is expressed hy religious I i..o.m..- .* ?nn.;?i ,..^v.i-,. - r.... .......... | ivaiu i r*. rtjivtiiii ?> ' ' I IM i i / I ^ "it'if; people will probably be employed by the Association at an early date af. ter which the new department can be i more effectively promoted.

CALLING THE DOCTOR LATE AT NIGHT People are apt to forpet ,hnt the lici lor must eat and sleep. Scores of people will allow members of heix families to suffer with some acut attack all day, and finally summon the doctor late in the evening? perhaps ju t after he has retired and is petti gna much needed nap. In some towns the doctors are combining to charge extra charges fox night calls, and this is a reasonable procedure. When it boc<>rne? generally known that the physician called after rt o'clock p. m., will charge double rate, the number of night culls wd] bo limited to emergency cases where his presence is really needed, and where the need of a doctor could not have been foreseen in the day time. In these days of the teler.hniiA thp?-o is positively no respite for the busy and successful doctor, except to lerve town. That little bell is so convenient that doctor is consulted over every slight ailment, no matter what the hour. The same anxious inquirer would be greatly offended if doctor should charge in proportion to his oroken rest and extra nerve strain, trardner, Mass., is one of the towns where the doctors have entered into an agreement to make an extra cnarge for night calls. Such an ayuement is practicable in* every place, and be a good thing not only for the doctor 1 ut for the people, as it would lend to earlier examination of doubtful cases, and also to prompt and more effective treatment.?The Healthy Home Quarterly. 8 A Tome | g For Women g UU "I was hardly able to drag, I ^ BuwMwncQ," wnies Mrs. j^l J W.

C CRIMSON CLOVER The average ton. growth of crimaon clover on our average soils will take from the air and add to every acre forty-five pounds of nitrogen which will cost eight or ten dollars in commercial fertilizer, according to N. E. Winters, extension specialist in soil fertility, who advises that whenever . crimson clover is adapted in tills state it is one of our best covor crops for plowing under for a spring crop. The . little bacteria which livo at the roots of the crimson clover stalk, work alt winter, day and night, while wa are asleep and while we are awake, and take from the God-given air the nitrogen which is coating us ao much annually in commercial form. ? moiiy luuurun ore rnsar with crimson clover by planting too early. It should not be planted before September 15 in this state. From September to October 15, with a good season in the ground, crimson clover may be sown broadcast in corn and cotton, peo stubble or ipiy- iicld that would otherwise be left bare all winter. If the soil is innoculated. it is ltot necessary to even harrow the crimson clover to cover the seed, provided' a good earth mulch 1? formed previous to planting. If the field . has not recently grown crimson clover or another legume u.sing the fame inoculation, it will be nccescuru - 1 -- v\j uiuvuKHi* nrj niKU UnU 111 that case it is best to eover thcni lightly to prevent the sun from killin? the inoculation. If the soil does not already contain the specific bacferia which live on the roots of the crimson clover, inoculation is absolutely necessary for success. The only way to determine this is by trying it, but if in doubt be sure to inoculate a3 follows: Home-grown seed with the husk may be simply rolled in moi3t dirt taken from the fop six inches of an inoculated field?one that has been growing crimson clover, or red clover, or white dutch clover. With clean thrashed seed, it is best to mois ten the seed with a little water to which enough molasses has been added to make it jurt a little sticky, and .hen ptir into the seed some innoculated du.~t which has been previously dried and pulverzed in the shade. Failures arc sometimes made with crimson clovei 011 very poor hard clay or deep sand. On these poorest soils it is sufer to use rye and ve^ch uu ,?!??? -? * ? w miK ci tu?er cni(i!?, * .rutiaon clover is better adapted to a soil having a lor.m or snndy loam surface, although the poorest soils with proper management can be put into condition to grow successfully crimson clover. More failures * with the crimson clover are cauoed by sowing too early with a poor season in which the clover comes up and is then killed by a we->k or two of hot sunshine. Successful crimson clover growers use twelve to thirty pound a of seed per acre. It is well to use not less than- twenty pounds whevo the crap has not been grown before Crimson clover responds to lime about the same as cowpeas and htiry vetch.
