gutting greens, however, is started
from pieces of runners. This grass
requires much more attention than
the other grasses.
The Department of Agricidlitre
specialists favor fall sowing of lawna
in the Nt^th; weeds are Test trouble-
some theft, and the young grass has
a chance to get a good start before
the spring crop of weeds develops.;
Southern towns, however, do bast 4f
seeded in the spring.
Getting a satisfactory stand of
grass is only half the problem of 4
good lawn. Constant attention is nec-
essary to. keep the grass always
thick and gram. This calls for fer-
tilising, liming, and rolling from
time to time. Sprinkling should he
done with the knowledge that thor-
ough soaking encourages deep root
development, whereas light sprink-
ling merely stimulates the surface
roots. ‘
There is also a beet way to mow
a lawn, to remove weeds, and tQ erad-
icate insect pests and disease. Farm-

Texas was lucky in being away
down in the corner of the nation when
this so-called depression came along.
Thiis wave started in Wall Street and
swept out m every direction of the
country and as Texas was in a dis-
tant corner it was the last to receive
the shock. Although it was like all
other waves, being harder at the
breaking 'point it naturally bit us
harder down in Texas when it did
get there. "But the p4rt about the
whole thing was that it left tia first.
This region was as hard up in 1927
as Texas every was.

Columbus, ST C;—Here one will
find one of tne most complete relic
rooms in the south illustarting the
period just before, during and after
the Civil War. There is everything
of the period from the dresses, and
uniform that the performed their
great deeds in, to the very bullets
that ended many of their lives. "
The capitol building which over-
looks the Congree river has the shell
markets on it that Sharman put there
on his march to the sua. When a shell
hit a corner or a window facing the
masonry is flipped off, leaving a
scar there al Ithese years. A brass
star marka the aolid walls where
the shell left no mark.
These few old things mentioned are
one of the draw backs to this state.
It has became hide-bound- with tra-
dition. There is too much of that Tike
father, like son" stuff for it to ad-
vance much. Of course there iw
some things in which the state haa
kept pace with yonnger states, but
most of the time they are just a lit-
tle slow to take up new ideas, leav-
ing the adoption and testing of them
to others, and, as a result, they are
always just a little behind.
