' STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.
f Columbia, S. C., Sept 10.?A
acre of wheat per each one-hors
crop was the policy indorsed by th
State council of defense at the Syir
ter conference.
By resolution the farmers of th
State were urged to grow all of th
live stock possible.
Davil R. Coker, chairman of th
council of defense, discussing th
necessity for more hogs said: "
have before me quotations of th
Baltimore market of September J
quoting medium and heavy hogs (20
*to 300 pounds in weight) at 19.6
to 19.70, live weight. If the farnr
ers are going to raise hogs for th
market they should form communit
clubs and ship them in carload lob
They should ship nothing excep
hogs weighingl75 pounds and ovei
as these always bring better price:
1 ' ? in
I shall be giaa to give wiupic? ...
formation to any farmers clubs wish
ing to ship hogs."
The following resolution wa
(adopted ly the State council of de
fense:
9 "Whereas the secretary of agri
culture has advised that the whea
acreage of South Carolina be in
creased 37 percent, in order that th
farmers of our State may do thei
part in averting a world wheat short
age, therefore upon motion of th
committee on production and con
servation of food-stuffs, be it re
solved:
"That the farmers of South Caro
lina be and hereby are advised ti
plant one acre of wheat per eac]
one-horse crop and that they be urg
ed to plant good lands and fertilize
as liberally as circumstances wil
permit.
Be it resolved, further, that, ii
order to in some measure allev'.at
the actual famine of meats and fats
, the South Carolina farmers be urgei
to raise all the live stock posible
but especially to increase their pre
duction of hogs.
"Be it resolved, further that, w
deprecate the killing of young an
immature live stock, and that w
urge that this practice be done awa
with wherever possible.
"Be it further resolved, that, th
South Carolina Live Stock associs
tion be requested to take up at i1
approaching meeting the matter c
the shipment out of the State c
large numbers of young calves an
to make a recommendation to tt
State council of defense as to ho
this practice can be stopped.
"Resolved, further, that the con
missary departments of the varioi
camps be requested to purchase foe
Hiropf from the farme
P&V/UUVIM UMVV. ?
wherever possible."

1 HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
(
i For the information of the people
e the government has sent out the fol-l]
i, lowing bulletin:
d "Subscribers to the recent 2,000,>,
000,000 issue of liberty bonds and ,
?- intending subscribers to the second
liberty loan are interested in knowe
ing just how the money obtained is ,
d used. A large amount of money is
e necessary to maintain the Navy,
y which has been called upon to defend
our coast and our commerce from
e attack.
i- "To put the Navy on a war basis,
:s! every ship in reserve had to be fully
?fj manned and commissioned. Many
>f auxiliary vessels also had to be addd
|ed.
lej On April 6 there were 64,680 envy
]listed men; now there ard more than
j 130,000. In addition, we have ena-j
listed more than 35,000 reserves and
is there are 10,000 National Naval vol>d
unteers in service.
rs "Contracts have been placed for
every destroyer? and submarine chaser
that the shipyards of the country
can build, and new records are ex
Apected in construction. All this!
jis in addition to the 32,000-ton |
ibattleships; the five battle cruisers of
,st, 35,000 ton each, the largest and
30jswiftest war vessels ever built; the
* six scout cruisers and many auxili e-ary
craft for which we have made

contracts. These will be built as al
early as possible, but the right of V]'
way is being given to destroyers and
small craft. m
"Since the day war was declared L
the Navy has patrolled 1 our own
coasts. For coast defenses scores of w
vessels have been secured?yacht, ^
fishing vessels, fast motor boats, and
other minor craft, and others are be- a1
I
ing added to this force as rapidly as
possible.
"The Navy has sent to France a s<
corRS of aviators, who arrived on
June 8, the first contingent of the V
regular armed forces of the United ^
States to land on French soil. The
Aeronautic Corps has been .greatly ^
enlarged, aviation bases established
along the coast, and officers and men
trained in the operation of seaplanes l
dirigible baloons, and other types of ft
aircraft. An additional . appropria- p
tion of $45,000,000 has been asked a]
for aviation. , 0;

warehouses we are building for i0
munitions and supplies, the new b;
shops, foundries, shipyards, the huge sc
drydocks, and the various structures q
under way or provided for. ol
"The Marine Corps has more than p]
doubled in enlisted strength since jaj
the war began. On April 6 there were Sc
in the corps 426 commissioned offi- in
cers and 13,266 enlisted men. It new fa
has more than 28,000 enlisted men, ti<
only 1,479 recruits being required to in
bring it up to its full authorized en- T1
listed strength of 30,000. A force of th
marines has been landed in France gi
for service under Gen. Pershing, and th
the entire corps is eager for action."
