RAISE WHEAT AND HOGS, Says Mr David R Coker, Chairman of the Council of Defense. Columbia, Sept 11:?An acre of wheat per each one-horse crop was the policy endorsed by the State ' rrmnoil of defense at the Sumter! conference last week. By resolution the farmers of the State were urged to grow all the | live stock possible. David R Coker, chairman of the | council of defense, discussing the necessity for more hogs, said: "1 have before me quotations of the Baltimore market of 3d inst.quoting medium and heavy hogs (200 to 300 pounds in weight) at 19.65 to 19.70, live weight. If the farmers are going to raise hogs for the market, they should form community clubs and ship them in carload lots. They should ship nothing except hogs weighing 175 pounds and over, as ? >?- ? i??:^,n r tnese aiways oring ueiuri,i;i iw. ? shall be gird fo give complete information to any farmers' clubs wishing to ship hogs. ' The following resolution was adopted by the State council of defepse: "Whereas the secretary of agriculture has advised that the wheat acreage be increased 37 per cent in order that the farmers of our State may do their part in averting a world wheat shortage, therefore on motion of the committee on production and conservation of food stuffs, be it resolved: "That the farmers of South Carolina be and hereby are advised to plant one acre of wheat per each onehorse crop and that they be urged to plant good lands and fertilize as liberally as circumstances will permit. "Beit resolved further, that,in order to in some manner alleviate the actual famine of meats and fats, the South Carolina farmers be urged to raise all the live stock possible, but especially to increase tneir production of hogs. "Be it resolved further that we deprecate the killing of young and immature live stock, and that we urge that this practice be done away with wherever possible. "Be it further resolved that the South Carolina Live Stock Association be requested to take up at its approaching meeting the matter of the shipment out of the State of large numbers of young calves, and to make a recommendation to the State council of defense as to how this practice can be stopped. "Resolved further that the commissarv deDartments of the various camps be requested to purchase food products direct from the farmers wherever possible." Another German Plot Discovered. The government at Washington has discovered and exposed another German plot. Count Luxburg. the German minister at Buenos Aires, sent cipher messages^ to Berlin through Sweden advising the sinking of Argentine ships "without leaving a trace." .The Argentine government demanded an explanation from Germany and dismissed Count Luxburg, but he has gone to parts unknown. . The Swedish government protested that it did not know the character of the message, but the people are thoroughly aroused, and the ministry may be defeated in the coming elections.
