March 28-The midnight visit of a well-dressed woman to a sidewalk crypt resulted in the discov ery early to-day of the body of an unidentified man, about 35 years of age, who had been dead about two months. In his hand he held a rosary While Walter Jones, a watchman at a factory on the northwest side of the city, was making his rounds at midnight he saw a woman ap proach the sidewalk that adjoins a vacant lot, and which Is elevated about ten feet above the lot. The woman stooped, scraped away a quantity of cinders and stones from the embankment and crawled under the sidewalk. When she disappeared Jones sought a policeman and returned to tho hole. The policeman found the man's body. The woman had depart ed and the police are searching for her. The head of the body rested upon a parcel of men's apparel wrapped in the paper of a fashionable store on Michigan avenue. Dr. Edward Harrington said ho had been dead about two months.

As to Burbcxl Wire. I am in receipt of the following I letter, which may prove of Interest! to many of our farmers in Oconeo: 1210 Massachusetts Ave, N. W., Washington, D. C., 'Mar. 18, 1921. Geo. R. Briggs, County Agent, Walhalla, S. C. Dear Slr: I read with interest your every suggestion appearing In The Keowee Courier with reference to helping tho farmer. I have read Farmers* Bulletin 1121, to which you call attention, and there are many others for tho asking from which farmers may get valuable informa tion. I vead recently an article of yours with reference to co-operative" buying of fertilizers. In writing this I am prompted by the suggestion of co-operative buying of barbed wire fencing- The United States govern ment has some seven hundred tons of barhed wfre which lt is disposing of at tho rate of $2 5 per ton not (2,000 pounds,) f. o. b. storehouse, New 'Cumberland, Pa. The wire is what.is known as two-strand No. 12, twisted, four-point, barbs four incites apart.' Freight from point of ship ment!'tn Walhalla ls 62l/? cents per hundred .pounds In car lots imini mum,,of "36,000 pouuds.) Lrfjss than car lots tho freight charge nearly doubles. I iavostlguted this wire with the! Idea of getting some to fence some | land north of Walhalla, saw sam ples which were shown here in the office of the officer In charge of sale of surplus stock, Munitions Building, this city. Tho samples were* from some sold to farmers out West. These farmers went all the way to the storehouse In Pennsylvania, and af ter Investigation bought some forty tons. The wire ls not bright1,, at least | the samples were not, but pam satis fied to take five tons, provided there are enough to club together tty make up a carload. I will be pleased to order through you, or any ono sug gested by you agreeable tc other purchasers, or will gladly-attond to any matter connected with shipping same, without charge. Would ba pleased to hoar from you at an early date with .reference, to whether or not any one in Oconee wonld be In terested In the matter, j Very truiy yours, J. D\ Crenshaw.

M.IATW Of South 'CferoUraa--Tho Marketing Agents Giving Thought to 'Matter. Clemson ?CoUe?r 'March ! 2&.. South Carolina Ts now becoming] known in tne.svrettt. potato markets of the'.country, and the extensiou service marketing agents are giving I their time and efforts toward send ing out a graded product, and' that I well packed, ventilated and loaded for either a short or a long haul. To date this season sixteen caral of dweet potatoes have moved ont of j this State to Eastern, Northern and Western markets. Some of these bavo gone as far Wost a? the Stato of Iowa, and soveral have gone to points in New York State, reports F. lt. Harkoy, tho extension market agent. Most of those shipments have boen made by members of t/e South Car olina Sweet Potato Association and hate boen sold by the Southern States Produce Distributors Co., of Columbia, which company has sign ed a sales contract with tho Sweet Potato Association. Potatoes ship ped by members of tho association bear the brnnd ""Sugarspuds," South Carolina Sweet Potato Association, Main Office, Columbia, S. C." Tho grading and loading of one erl more cars at each shipping point has been made a demonstration of pro? por grading and loading by an ox-? tension service market agent, and in several instances a great saving ha? been effected for the shipper. Sweet potatoes are a very perish able ^product, and Ifave never re ceived in this State the proper hand ling to which they are entitled, since they had not been shipped from this State in ear lots until last season. It Is, therefore, necessary that every shipper make use of the experience and a ?ssl tance offered by thc exton. ?ion service at Clemson College, You Can't Get ( Making SI THE AMERICAN FERTILIZER O TO SAY AUOUT FERTILI! "WhRt South karolina farmers say: "An 8-3-3 and an 8-4-4 fortllizer are general favorites in South Caro lina, though some others are used with success. The applications of the best farmers vary from 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre, and the in crease from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of need cotton per acre. "Typical reports from South Caro lina farmers are aa folows: "A. G. Clarkson, Wateree, uses 600 poundH of a 10-4-2 broadcast before planting, and applies 100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dressing. Ho gets 1,500 pounds of seed coton per acre. "R.. HL Bvisor, Summerton, usu ally applies 500 to 800 pounds of an 8-3-3 fertilizer under the crop and uses 100 to 200 pounds of nitrogen ous top-dress, applied half June 1st and halt July 1st. His yield is about 1,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. "P. B. Day, Jr., Trenton, applies 700 pounds of an 8-3-3 In furrow bed; top-dresses with nitrogen at the rate of 150 pounds, applied half 'Juno 1st and half July 1st. Obtains 1,500 and more pounds of seed cot ton per acre. "James S. Culbreth, Johnston, uses-an- 8-3-3 fertilizer, nppllyng 600 to 1,000 pounds fn the drill before planting; side-dresses with nitrate of soda and kninit when cotton is 6 to 10 inches high. Ho gets 1,200 to 2,000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. "Wade H. Herring, Marion, uses a 9-4-2, and applies 800 pounds and 100 pounds of nitrogenous top dresses. He gets 1,500 pounds . of seed' coton per acre. YOu will notice that thoso farm ers live in sections of the State whore the- seasons aro* longer than oura, the summer i's earlier and tho fall is hiter, which gives the cotton plant more timo to- matare. This 8-3-3 and 8-4-4' brings splendid results there, but up here,, where the sea sons aro shorter, we recommend onr ?0-3-3 or l(K3i(r as a IO per cent goods will make cotton mature and open carlita* than sn S per cent arti cle, and if yon- read Mr..
