Senate Committee Raises Total Appropriation
Half liiliion.
Washington, Feb. 20.?Final approval
of the naval appropriation
bill was voted today by the senate
naval committee with the total raised!
f
to about half a billion dollars by adding
$128,000,000 to the measure asj
it passed the house. Appropriation*'
are carried for the coming year's'
share of the great three year building
program and there are various
special provisions, Including author*
izatlon for commandering private
ship building and munition plants in
time of national peril.
The emergency construction appropriation
of $150,000,000 recommended
by the senate sub-committee
was reduced to $115,000,000 with a
specific direction that $35,000,000
of this be expended for submarines.!
An amendment by Senator Poin-l
dexter was adopted directing that!
forty of the additional submersible:*'
should be coast vessels and ten fee'
submarines, half of each type to be,
built on the Pacific coast.
The committee also added to thr?j
house program three coast guard;
cutters to cost $1,350,000; $772,000
for extension of the Washington
navy yard and $750,000 for a dry
dock at Charleston, S. C.
Provision is made for increasing
the class at the naval academy by
014 members, providing for appointment
of four instead of three midshipmen
by each senator and representative,
for 100 from enlisted men
Instead of twenty-five and for foufrom
the Philippines. The term s?
the naval academy would be reduced
from four to three years for a period
of five years.
' Other important increases approved
include $4 00,000 for a high power'radio
station in Porto Rico. $000,000
for batteries for merchant marine
auxiliaries, $3,000,000 for reserve
material for the naval and
$1,950 ,000 for engineering purposes I
including radio installation on light
vessels.
It takes 55 per cent of the total
draft in plowing to cot. the. furrow
slice. 12 percent to turn the furrow
of the sole and landslide. A good
point for the farmer to remember
Is that a dull sharp point increases
the draft by one-third.

HELP TI1E ONE-HORSE FARMER.
Clemson College, Peb. 2 2.?The
r great njajorlty of our farmers are
jone-horse farmers. They are usually
''brushed aside with the advice 'Vet
( another horse." We should deal
with existing conditions until these
conditions are changed, and we must
. help produce the means for bringing
about such a change.
The one-horse farmer works at a
i disadvantage, 'tis true, just as the
i "one-horse" merchant with limited
means.
"The poor we have with us always,"
but the degree of poverty
' may be made great or small in pro
portion to methods of management
. judiciously employed.
The boll weevil will immediately
affect the one-horse class more than
' any other, and it is this class of
white and negro tenants that usu*
ally becomo stampeded and leave
* for uninfestod territory, leaving the
* more substantial farmer practically
' helpless. We must "therefore, give
timely aid to this class first."
A One-horse System of Preparation
to Meet I toll Weevil Conditions.
Say ?hc nv 'rage tenant cultivates
' 18 acres?usually 12 to 1 f> In eottr
n, and 2 to f> in corn. Til's is a
~ soil robbery system and is not self~
sustaining. We would sur-n st a
! practice .similar to that recommcnd'
ed by Mr. I). H. Colter.
First Vear's Crop (1JM7.)'
Two acres In wheat, followed bv
peas for hay and seed each year.
One acre for garden and truck.
Apply all stable manure that can be
1 made to wheat, the garden ana
truck patches. Fifteen acres in cofr
ton and 3 acres in corn and velvet
beans. Sow nbruzzi rye in cotton
middles in September, and turn 9
acres for cotton in spring. Turn
corn and velevet bean acreage in fall
or winter and follow with cotton,
f Second Year's Crop (11HH.)
i Plant 12 acres in cotton and fi
- acres in corn and velvet beans.
Again, sow cotton middles to Ab
I ruzzi rye in September, and turn
only fi acres for cotton the follow
ing spring; while again the corn and
" velvet bean acreage should be turned
- in fall and winter for cotton the following
spring.
Third Year's Crop (lOlfl.)
> If the boll weevil has not arrived,
i plant 9 acres to cotton and 9 acres
\ to corn and velvet beans. Treat In
same manner as above.

This system gradually changes to-J
ward a boll weevil system of cropping,
and also gradually increases
the fertility of the soil preparatory
to better insults in cotton production
during infestation. Extra labor
on cotton will be required under
boll weevil infestation, and the acreage
will of necessity be reduced. |
iin 111 tMiiaieiy upon trie appearance
of the weevil in or near the com-!
munity, the system should he changed,
rotating the 18 acres as follows:
Divide the farm into 3 equal parts
of ti acres each, and plant ti to corn I
and velvet beans; ti to cotton with,
lye sown in the cotton middles in i
.November or early December for seed
production; and ti to peanuts following
rye. The peanuts to be followed
by crimson clover for seed, and corn
and velvet beans planted after seed
are stripped. In this rotation cot-1
ton follows corn and velvet beans,
corn and velvet beans follow peanuts
with winter clover cover crops,
and peanuts follow cotton and winter
rye.
The first system will aggregate a
gross income of
The second system will aggregule
a gross income of $l,32d.
Difference in favor of the latter.

could not keep even cold water on
my stomach, much less my food. I
