"Would Deny Sims Readmit tance to American Ports. Washington, June 10.-A resolu tion declaring Rear-Admiraal Sims "ari undesirable alien" and denying him readmittance to any American port, was introduced in the house late today by Representative Gallivan, democrat of Massachusetts. The resolution offered by Mr. Gal livan referred to Rear-Admiral Sims as "a foreign born citizen of the United States, but now connected un happily and unfortunately, with the naval establishment of this country." On other occasions, it added, he had 'publicly stated that in case of a war between the United States and Great Britain one British ship could easily dispose of four or five American ships -of corresponding type," and it charged that "Sims has publicly de preciated his superior officers in the naval establishment and the charac ter and quality of the governmennt of this republic. Rear Admiral Sims and Ambassa .der Harvey were described to day in the senate by Senator Harrison, dem ocrat, Mississippi, as "those two "gold dust twins' who now represent the government of the United States in England." Senator Harrison, author of the . resolution adopted yesterday direct ing the naval committee to investi gate Admiral Sims' speech criticizing Sinn Fein sympathizers, declared the admnral's speech, and that of Mr. Harvey at the Pilgrim's dinner, were ""an outrage to redblood Americans." "I hope the senate committee will secure the report that Secretary Den ny has demanded from Admiral Sims" . said Senator Harrison. "I hope congress will take imme- ? diate action if Secretary Denby fails to do anything to him if he has quoted , correctly." , Senator Harrison said that Admiral , Sims "ought to be got rid of from the , navy," if he was quoted accurately ? and he also reiterated his demand for , Ambassador Harvey's "recall." j Nothing that Secretary Denby had called upon Admiral Sims for an exr " planation within 24 hours, Senator Harrison said that no official of the government had taken similar action | as to Ambassador Harvey. j "He has not been called down by j the president or the secretary of state or any other official," said the sena- j tor- .

Such milk may be used in ^ numerous ways in the home, but, if it is not desirable to use it there, ? feed it to the chickens. They like it ,. and will do well on it. J Some farmers make a practice of ^ feeding sour milk to hogs, but great- ^ er returns may be had by feeding it , to chickens, for the flesh of chick- j ens brings much more on the market j than that of hogs. j Milk and corn makes a good ration ^ for chickens. For best results, the ? corn should be cracked and soaked several hours in either sweet or sour ^ skimmilk or buttermilk. The corn J may be put in pails in the morning and the milk poured on until the top of the corn is covered two or j three inches. When this has been absorbed, more should be added at intervals during the day, and the ^ mixture will be excellent for feed ing by night. A liberal supply of this ration will 3 keep chickens growing rapidly and ^ insure their being constantly plump and in excellent condition for the market.-Farm and Ranch. Why a Silo? Hereare ten good reasons why a silo should be kept on every farm where livestock is kept: 1. The silo preserves the palata bility and succulence of green crops for winter feeding.. ? 2. It conserves the entire crop. 3. The silo increases the livestock capacity on the farm. 4. Silage can be fed in summer when pastures are short. 5. Silage is relished by dairy and beef cattle ano> sheep. 6. It is digestible and aids in the digestion of other feeds fed with it. 7. Silage reduces the cost of pro duction of milk, beef and mutton. 8. It will increase the milk flow. 9.Silage promotes the health of the herd. 10. The silo provides an economi cal method for the storage of rough age.-Utah Farmer. J. S.

Whit mire, veterinarian of Pelzer, was sentenced this morning to serve a year and a day in the federal prison in Atlanta and pay a fine of $1,000 for violation of the Harrison nar cotic law, after a motion for a new trial had been overruled. Several prominent men of Pelzer and the surrounding community appeared before Judge Watkins and asked the leniency of the court, saying that Whitmire was a respected citizen and had never been in trouble like this before. Whitmire protested ,saying that he was innocent of the charges and that he had not committed the of fense with which he was charged. Judge Watkins told the defendant that he believed that he had suc cumbed to temptation to make easy j money. Virgil Nicholson and Bob Tannery pleaded guilty to violation of the j national prohibition law and were I sentenced to five months in the Oco-J nee jail or pay a fine of $300. Judge Watkins said this morning that in the future he may send all violators of the prohibition law to I the Atlanta penitentiary; that the puninshment inflicted for such viola tion is no to be luxurious nor is it intended that the prisoner may be remanded to a county jail near his J home so that his people may visit him, and that prisoners may be sent j to the federal- prison for less than a year and a day. The absence from the jail oft Mas- j ters and Shaw, two federal prisoners in the county jail, was investigated by Judge Watkins. While absent Monday afternoon Masters was arrest ad for getting in a fight. The sheriff J stated that the jail was so full of pris jners that he could not well take care if all of them, and some were let out is trusties. The judge stated that he J ivould not send any more prisoners to ;he county jail. Year's Wheat Crop Larger Than Before. Washington, June 8.-The coun ty's combined winter and spring ivheat crop promises to be 43,000,000 sushels larger than last year's, based jn forecasts of production announced ?oday by.the department of agricul ;ure. There will be smaller crops of pats, barley and hay than were har /ested last year, while the apple :rop will not be half so large as that )f 1920 and the peach crop will be nuch smaller than last year. Winter wheat, which a month ago promised a crop of 629,000,000 bush es, came through May in bad shape n several of the important producing ?tates and as a result the forecast of production showed a reduction of 51, )00,000 bushels, bringing the total to ;he same quantity as produced last fear. Kansas, premier wheat state, .eported a decline in the condition of ;he crop from 84 per cent of a nor nal crop on May 1 to 60 on June 1, vhich resulted in a reduction in that .tate's forecast by 33,000,000 bush ?ls. In Nebraska the condition drop ped from 92 to 75 and in Oklahoma :rom 84 to 70. The spring wheat crop forecast in iicates 43,000,000 bushels more than ast year's crop. The condition of the :rop is better than a year ago, while ;he acreage is somewhat smaller than ast year's. An acre yield of 13.9 bushels is forecast compared with 10.8 bushels last year. ? Better Than Forty Cents Cotton. In Sumter last Sunday, Trinity church raised its quota, $20,000, for the educational campaign of the Southern Methodist church, and $500 besides. This amount was subscribed by 140 of 450 persons to be can vassed. The same morning the Methodist church in Latta subscribed $12,600, its quota being $12,5000, and of this amount $1,800 was paid in cash. A year ago these responses, quick and generous to a great appeal for educational funds, would have been explained by the price of cotton, then around 40 cents, and the prevailing prosperity. No such explanation can be offered now. It will have to be said that in May 1921, the Methodists see aright the great necessity and oppor tunity of strengthening their col leges and other schools so that they shall be a better educated people. Giving of a dollar now means two or three times the sacrifice of lux uries by the giver than it meant when money was easy. This spirit of the people, that the Methodists exemplify, promises bet* ter for the state and the country than 40 cents cotton promised.-The State WEDDING PRESENTS: See Miss Eliza Mims' handpainted china be fore selecting your wedding presents. DAIRY HINTS LARGER IMPORTS OF BUTTER For First Seven Months of This Year 22,855,090 Pounds Shipped to United States. The record for butter imports es tablished in 1919, when 9,519.368 pounds of butter and butter substi tutes were brought into the United States, was short lived. Following the recent announcement of these impor tant figures by the United States De partment of .Agriculture the depart ment has compiled reports for the first seven months of this year which show that the United States during that period imported 22,855,090 pounds of foreign butter, which is more than ever before. This remarkable increase Is at tributed by foreign marketing experts of the department's bureau of markets largely to the foreign exchange situ ation. With American dollars com manding a premium throughout the world it is obviously good business for foreign butter manufacturers to sell their product in the United States. For eign manufacturers also have the ad vantage of low cargo rates. Another reason for the Increased Imports is that whereas England was formerly Denmark's principal butter outlet, England can now purchase butter more cheaply from Australia and Argen tina. Ireland also Is producing but ter on a larger scale. The effect of the exchange situa tion is also reflected In a decrease of American butter exports. Thus. 15, Federal Inspector Sampling Imported u Butter. a 527,271 pounds of American butter were exported during the first seven ?: months of 1920, whereas 22,986,294 3J pounds were sent out of the country si during the corresponding period of o: 1919. a: Imports of butter from Denmark a: are being curtailed at present because w the prices asked by the holders of Dan- ? ish butter in storage here are higher than the wholesale prices for the American product, and some difficulty is being experienced In moving the Danish stock. * CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR / Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was Losing 364 Pounds of Butterfat Every 30 Days. Defects in the separator will, In the course of time, make heavy inroads on the dairyman's receipts from butterfat. For instance, the testing of skim milk to ascertain how the separator is working is not regarded important by some dairymen. But in the case of | one herd of 35 cows in Minnesota, which produced 1,200 pounds of but terfat last June, the skim milk was tested and found to be carrying oft 364 pounds of real butterfat every 30 days. This is vouched for by L. V. Wilson, agent In dairying for the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture with headquarters at University Farm. "This farmer," says Mr. Wilson, "pur chased a new separator the next day* after the skim milk was tested. This Incident ought to be a sufficient lesson for prompting many others to deter mine the accuracy of their separators." PUNCTUALITY IS ESSENTIAL Dairyman Should Be Regular About j His Work With His Herd-Feed Grain While Milking. The dairyman should be punctual and regular about his work, for not only does the work itself depend on lt, but the amount of milk the cow will give as well. In feeding, ?lie grain should be fed first and while lt Is being consumed milking should be done. Hay should be fed after milk ing, for lt fills the air with dust which carries Immense quantities of mold and bacteria that will hasten the spoiling of the milk If permitted to enter it. POOR SIRE DOES MUCH HARM Thousands Pounds of Milk Per Year ls Estimated Improvement Cred ited to Purebred. "A few poor cows may do little per manent harm to a dairy herd but a poor sire will do untold damage. One thousand pounds of milk per year ls a conservative estimate of the Improve ment cf the daughter's production to crMit of ft t7n0(i sire."-Prof. W. J. Frazer, University of Illinois.
