<$> -$> <& <?> $ < > <y <$> - $><?> <^ <e> <$ <8> COOPERATIVE EXTENSION W<1 < > AO RICH <?> FARMERS' EXCHA} <S> T. M. Mills, County Demonstrati( <?> Miss Willie Mae Wise, Home ii;coi <S> ClOYer. Again I appeal to the farmers who bave clover to gather as much seed as you can. A -bur ciover seed patch on every farm in Newberry county and in South Carolina is our aim. It is without doubt our best winter legume for soil building and grazing. A good growth of bur clover will put in the soil $10.00 to $12.00 worth of nitrogen to say nothing of the value of the humus added. A few acres for grazing purposes will great-1 ly lessen your feed bill and your cattle and hogs will thrive much better than when fed on concentrates alone. To insure a good seed patch to raise enough seed for seeding large areas, select a compact fertile spot and eeed it heavily, 50 to 75 pounds of burs to the acre. Use inoculating dirt where clover has grown successfully w - - - I and if ^ you have not a rich, plot of1 land I would advise using some stable manure broadcast on land for the first year. A splendid place for a small seed patch is your turnip patch. After having sown your turnips in .the fall, 60w some bur clover on the top of ground. The clover will come up, live through the winter and in the spring after the turnips have matured, the clover will produce a good crop of seed. By all means, plant you a seed patch of this splendid "lazy man's ? ? J - J! _ 1 crop." uflt'e seeiieti, aiwajs secueu, If you treat it right, yet, it is never a pest. Abbnizzi Eje. Abbruzzi rye is also proving a 'Very valuable crop for grazing and soil improvement. While it is not a legume, not being able to take nitrogen from the air, yet it prevents nitrogen, already in the soil from leaching away by taking it up in the winter and holding it till spring. This plant food is returned to the soil 'wken the rye is turned under in the spring and can then be used by the sunnier crop. It is superior to our 6outhera rye in that it makes earlier and ranker growth and also produces more seed per acre. It supplies, in large quantities the most urgent need of South Carolina soils?humus. I hope to see a seed patch on every farm this fall. For Sale. 20 to 25 pigs, 'Newberry, phone 2711.

Beiore taxing up; the plants, the son in which they are growing should be thoroughly soaked in order to make it adhere to the roots. A good method to use in setting the plants is to open a furrow i with a turn plow and set the plants in this furrow. If the soil is dry put water around each, plant. A good distance is to have the rows 4 feet apart with plants 3 to 4 apart in rows. Cultivation. Cultivate the soil as often as necessary to keep the sur! face loose and free from weeds and grass.

Home grown seed sown in the chaff have given much better results than cleaned seed and I therefore advise every one who .has crisomon clover to gather as many seed as tie can.

Way. i President Tells Three Reveals Some of the Motives Strong for Peace, Yet So F Rights of Humanity?Ca Washington, LM'ay 16.?'President Wilson tonight made public a frank and intimate review of his three vears * ! in the White House and his impressions of foreign and domestic prob-! lems, delivered confidentially last ] night before Washington correspondents gathered at the National Press club. He spoke of the difficulties of ! the presidency and particularly of the 1 motives which have guided his hand | ling of the European situation. America, the president said, is f-or peace because she loves peace aad | believes the present war has carried the nations engaged "so far that they | can not be held to ordinary standards j of responsibility." But, he added, the , United Staes has growa to be one of j the great nations of the world and | therefore must act "more or less from , the point of view of the rest of the ! *'world." "If I can not retain my moral influence over an American except by ! occasionally knocking him down," he ' ; said, "if that is the only basis or | which he will respect me, then for ! the sake of his soul 1 have got to : occasionally knock him down." Might Have to Strike. The president declared he had been I kept awake nights considering the, European situation because there j might come a time when the United j States would have to do what it did j not desire to do, and "the great bur-1 den on my spirits has been that it; has bea up to me to choose when j f A ao *v? rt '' XT r\ a/3 a mat uiuc uauuc. lie auucu nidi nc did not conceive that he had been elected president to do as he pleased. "If I were it -would have been very much more interesting," he said. Impressions of public men as a class were given frankly by the president, with the comment that somej grew and some swelled. He also discussed the relations of the newspapers to the affairs of the nation and sounded a warning that false infor-: mation about foreign affairs was more ! than likely to lead to trouble. The president's remarks as orig- j inally delivered were read by him carefully before being made public but no important portions were elim- ! inated, and the wording was not i changed substantially. The president said: "I am both glad and sorry to be here; glad because I am always hap- j py to be with you, and know and like \ so many of your, and sorry because ! I 'have to make a speech. One of! the leading faults of you gentlemen | of the press is your inordinate de-' | sire to hear other men talk, to draw [ them out upon all occasions, whether they wish to be drawn out or not. I remember being in this press club once before, making many unpremidj itated disclousures of myself and then having you with your singular instinct for publicity insist that I should give it away to everybody else." "I was thinking as I was looking forward to coming here this evening o; that other occasion when I stoo<l very nearly at the threshold of the duties that I have since been called upon to perform and I was going over in my mind the impressions that I then had by way of forecast of the duties of president and comparing them with the experiences that have followed. I must say that the forecast has been very largely verified and fhflt thp imnrpssmnc T hctH tViPn VIPVP been deepened rather than weakened. Wants Some Rest. "You may recall that I said then that I felt constantly a personal detachment from the 'presidency, that one thing that I resented when I was not performing the duties of the office was being reminded that I was the president of the United States. I felt! towards it as a man feels towards a j great function which, in working; hours, he is obliged to perform, but which out of working hours he is glad to get away from and almost forget and resume the course of his own thought. I am constantly reminded, as I go about, as I do sometimes at the week-end, of the personal inconvenience of being president of the United States. If I want to know how many people live in a small town all I have to do is to go there and they at once line up to be counted. I might, in a census taking year, save the census takers a great deal of trouble by asking them to accompany me and count the people on the spot. Some- { times, when I am most beset, I se- i riouslv think of renting a pair of; Story Of Years At Helm] Which Have Made Him So 'irm in His Defense of the ution to Newspaper Men. I whiskers or of demanding something | else that will furnish me an adequate | disguise, because I am sorry to find | that the cut Qf my jib is unmistakable | and that I must sail under false colors if I am going to sail incognito. "Yet as 1 have matched my experi- < encee with my anticipations I of ! course have been aware that I was j taken by surprise because of the; prominence of many things to which 1 I had not locked forward. When we! are dealing with domestic affairs, j gentlemen, we are dealing with things i that to us as Americans are more or j less caluculable. There is a singular ; variety among our citizenship, it is; true, a greater vairety e.en than Ij l.ad anticipated; but after all we are j all steeped in the same atmosphere, we ! | are all surrounded by the same en- ; vironment, we are all more or less | affected by the same traditions, and, j moreover, we are working out some-; thing that has to be worked out! among ourselves, and the elements are here to be dealt with at first hand. The Hard Ouestions. i "But when the fortunes of your own country are, so to say, subject to the incalculable winds of passion that are blowing through other parts i of the world, then the strain is of a j singular and unprecedented kind, be-1 cause you do not know by what turn of the wheel of fortune the control of things is going to be taken out of your hands. It makes no difference how deep the passion of the nation lies, that passion may be so over-j borne by the rush of fortune in cir-! cumstances like those which now exist that you feel that sort of?I almost said resentment?that a man feels when his own affairs are not within his own hands. You can imagine the strain upon the feeling of any man who is trying to interpret the spirit of his countrj when he feels that that spirit can not have its own way beyond a certain point. And one of the greatest points of strain upon me, if I may be permitted to point it out, was this: "There are two reasons why the chief wish of Americans is for peace; one is that they love peace and have nothing to do with the nresent- nnar- i rel; and the other is that they believe the present quarrel has carried those engaged in it so far that they can not be held to ordinary standards of responsibility and that, therefore, as some men have expressed it to me, since the rr't of the world is mad, why should we not simply refuse to have anything to do with the rest of the world in the ordinary channels of action? WVhy not let the storm pass, and then, when it is all over, have the reckonings? "\ "Knowing that from both these two points of view the passion of America was for peace, I was, nevertheless, aware that America is one of the 'nations of the world not only, but one of the chief nations of the world?a na | tion that grows more and more powI erful almost in spite of herself; that grows morally more and more inj fiuential even when she is not aware i of it;, and that if she is to play the j part which she most covets, it is necl essary that she should act more or i less from the point of view of the rest of the world. If I can 'iiot retain my moral influence over a man except by occasionally knocking him down, if that is the only basis upon which he will respect me, then for the sake )f his soul I have got occasionally to ! knock lum down. The Real Basis. "You know how we have read in? isn't it in Ralph Connor's stories of Western life in. Canada??that all his sky pilots are ready for a fracas at any time and how the ultimate salvation of the souls of their parishioners depends upon their using their fists | occasionally. If a man will mot listen I to you quietly in a seat, sit on his neck and make him listen; just as I have always maintained, particularly in view of certain experiences of mine, that the shortest road to a boy's | moral sense is through his cuticle. There is a direct and, if I may be I permitted the pun, a fundamental connection between the surface of his skin and his moral consciousness. You arrest his attention first in that way and then get thp moral lesson conveyed to him in- milder "ways that, if he were grown up, would he the only ways you would use. "So I say that I have been aware that in order to. do the very thing that ive are proudest of the ability to ; do, there might come a time when we j t I would have to do it in a wav that wo would prefer not to do it; and the great burden on my spirits, gentlemen, has been that it has been up to me to choose when that time came. Can you imagine a thing more calculated to keep a man awake at night than that? Because, just because I did .not feel that I was the whole thing and was aware that my duty was a duty of interpretation, how could I be sure that I had the right elements of information by which to interpret truly? Do Their Own Thinking. "What we are now talking about is largely s-piritual. You say, 'All the people out my way think so and so.' Now I know perfectly well that you have not talked with all the people out your way. I find that out again and agin. And so you are taken by surprise. The people of the LV.it^nl States are not asking anyh/wlv'c lf>a vp tn rl/-i thorr? /atvti thin Vine and are not asking anybody to tip them off what they ought to think.
