South Carolina Democrats have contributed more than $4,000 to the campaign fund for the re-elec tion of Woodrow Wilson and Thom as Ft. Marshall. Citizens of Wilkes county have recently voted a bond issue of $2."0, 000 for the construction of perma nent highways. This in spite of tne fact that Wilkes county suffered heavy losses from the July flood. Some Timely Suggestions Selection and Other Seasonable Activities on the' Farm Good Formulas For Pasture and Hay Crop This is the time of year when the farmer is thinking chiefly about saving the crops that have been grown. It Is also the time when be should give much time and thought to the crops that are to be grown next year. The old adage that, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is just as applicable to the farmer's operations as to anything else. One of the most neglected things on the farm is the seea tor the next years planting, and there is no one thing which costs as little, and pays as much, as a little care in selecting the seed during the late growing season of the crop. Any man can increase any crop considerably by Just selecting his seed during the fall. Corn seed should be selected while the ears are still on the stalks, so that one can determine the character of plant on which the ears grew. The ear is only a part of the plant and sometimes by selecting ears in the crib one will get plants that have undesirable qualities. Cotton is another crop which pays well for a little time spent in select ing the seed. By going through the field each year and selecting those plants that are well fruited and maturing early and saving seed from them one will soon have a cotton that is especially well adapted to his soil and a cotton that will mature a larger per cent of its bolls. Sweet potato growing is becoming some what of an industry with the farmers of Gaston. If they will watch for those hills that have the iargest amount of marketable pota toes at digging time and save their seed from these hills they will soon have potatoes that are produc ing considerably more per acre than they are now getting. This same thing can be done with any crop that Is grown. And this Is just what many people who are get ting two or three times the market prices for good seed are doing. Good seed are worth this two to three times the market price, but every farmer can save this price by a few hour's work at the right time on his farm. Any one can reason ably expect from five to ten dollars increase per acre in ttis crop from well selected seed. One hour's work in the corn, cotton or potato field selecting seed in the fall will often give this return. Is five to ten dol lars an hour enough to interest you, Mr. Farmer? Another important matter that is often neglected is the treatment of wheat and oats Reed for the smuts. Many farmers get in a hurry at seed ing time and trust to luck for clean fields of grain next year and when they lose from one-fifth to one-half a crop from smut they will blame the season for It. Forty to- fifty cents worth of formalin and an hoar's time will prevent smut from occurring on any farm in the county. This formalin is mixed with water at the rate of one pound (approximately one pint) to every forty-'flve gallons of water. The grain is sprinkled or soaked ip this solution until every kernel is thoroughly wet. Af ter wetting the seed is dried enough to run through the drill or if one wants to wait a few days before sowing it can be spread out on a floor until it is sufficiently dry to sack. This work can be done on a rainy day and will not Interfere with the regular work of the farm. This year has taught us the bene fit of having several crops growing on the farm, especially enough feed crops to carry the live stock througn the winter. It Is agreed by all who study the matter that the wealthiest farming countries are those that have a large number of live stock. It Is Impossible to have live stock without grass and feed crops. It Is not too late to arrange for some pasture and hay crops this fall. A mixture of 6 pounds orchard grass, 6 pounds herds grass, 6 pounds meadow fescue, 4 pounds tall meadow oat grass and 4 pounds white clover sown with the small grains will give a good permanent pasture. An ad dition of red clover (alsike for low grounds) will rie rc?d rerults too. Lespediza sown In the spring with the small grains will give a good late summer and fall pasture. There are many other mixtures that will give good results Tor pasture and hay and any crs inte.etaJ should study grasses a little before deciding on any particular mixture. There are many old fields that have been thrown out to waste and to tax the better acres that can be made pay their way by putting a fence around them and pasturing them after the larger bushes have been cut and the best spots planted to bermuda grass and lespediza. After the rush of fall work is over every man should get out on bis fields and hunt for the sore spots and do what he can to heal up these sore, scalded spots that he 1 has helped make. There are many pine bushes on every farm that will pay good dlvlndends if placed over these bare sores to aid nature In her healing process. And this is the time to do it because this is the time that most damage is done by surface erosion. Prevent this and your fields will increase In productiveness. Every man owes it to the coming generation to leave his farm In as productive a condition as it was when he came into posses sion, and he cannot do this unless he attends to the out-of-the-way places and keeps them in a healthy condition as well as the best fields. JAMES M. GRAY, County Agent. VOTE BV MAIL. Something doing all the time at Gaston County Fair. Oct. 3-7. 1916. Just think it over. "All work and no play" you know the rest. Take a day off. and visit Gaston County Fair. Mr. Bryan Says Farmers Are at Disadvantage and Should be Al lowed to Send Their Ballots by Rural Delivery. ,t As every new crop brings oat some new insect pest for which a remedy must be sought, so every new reform develops unforseen a buses or evils that need to be cor rected. The primary system, cor rect In principle and necessary for the protection of politics from the boss, has given to the cities a great er relative Influence than they form erly exerted in the making of nomi nations. The reason for this is ob vious. It is easeir for the town vo ter than for the country voter to ex ercise the right of suffrage. The for mer is near his polling place and can vote without loss of time and re gardless of weather. Not so witu the country voter. He is at a disad vantage whether the weather be bad or good. If it is good, his time is valuable and it is a pecuniary loss to leace his work for the time necessa ry to make the trip to the polling place and return. If the weather is bad. it may be difficult for him to get there at all. Voting, therefore, puts a tax upon the rural voter which the city voter does not have to bear. No one would think of imposing an unequal tax on the voters if it were specifically stated in dollars or cents. For instance, a law compell ing a farmer to pay a dollar for the privilege of voting while only 25 cents was required of the elty voter, would not be tolerated for a mo ment. And yet the actual effect of the present system Is to compel a larger pecuniary sacrifice of the ru ral voter. This ought to be correct ed. Why not employ the rural car rier plan for the collection of votes? If tbe Federal government can ar ford to carry a postal card miles In to the country, the State ought to be able to afford to collect a ballot. If the Federal government can afford to carry the mail to farmers every day, the State can certainly afford to ' collect ballots two or three times ft year. Some remedy should be ap plied at once. If any other plan It better, let it be adopted, but rural delivery has poven sucn a uccess that it would seem worth while to try the Idea in the collection of votes. W. J.
