Clemson Expert dives Advice-Urge? Fumier* lo .loin Associ?t ions. The present, live stock situation brought on by the Ku ru pea II war and oilier causes .viii suggest to tho enterprising farmer in South Caro lina the advantage of increasing his live stock production this winter. High pi ices for meal produits wHl undoubtedly prevail next sining, uv in} to the shortage ol c-ittle in 'ho . tass boll which have gone Into Hu feed lots ibis fall, the outbreak of fool and mouth disease in the beef producing Stales, with tho resulting ll . .! .?" ts among the feeder-: in th i. section, and UK* tremendous demand for food supplies which will undoubt edly come from the warring nations ot Europe. Those conditions oller opportuni ties '.'i live stock production for the South ('indina fanner, not only for a profitable enterprise, but also for Hu permanent solution of some of hi? knottiest agricultural problems. Any activity which the f irmer at tempts should be in the nature ol' a gradual development and growth, willi a view io producing enough meat for home ((?usu m pt ion and a small surplus, rathol than to plung ing Into ii suddenly on a large seale. Ile should conserve the best breeding stock on the farm which may be available, instead of consigning il lo the pori; barrel or Hie bulcher, and should procure a pure-bred sire of thc proper type with which lo grade up his herd until good, marketable, stuff is being produced. Ill this manner the farmer can gradually .MOW into live stock production with a small outlay of money, and ian market his sn rpi is while high prices are prevailing. Heel and pork can Ix- produced to advantage In South Carolina, and tho limes offer oppor tunities which sllOUhl HOI h.' over looked. Pork product ?on especially is ll profitable enterprise, yielding maxi mum returns In a short time, with a small outlay of capital. The de velopment of be.-i production on the farm should in all cases be accompa nied wiih the establishment of per manent pastures. Interes! in Hie breeding of live stock has developed very rapidly in South Carolina, and in Be ve ra I coun ties live si oik associations have been formed for co-operation among mem bers and for tho discussion of live Mock problems oi' coiiuiioii Interest. These organizations have already leen of large value to the communi ties in which they exist, as well as lo the individual members. They have been organized in Oconec, An derson. Greenville, Spartanburg, York air Calhoun counties, and Greenwood county is about to be or ganized. The extension division Ol Clemson College has co-oponaled with several of these associations in Importing live stock from oilier States and has supplied the members with bulletins, circulara and other material of inter est to them, vvhi'h is distributed from time to time. Farmers who are interested in growing live stock are urged to join these associations. In the counties where they have al ready been fonneil, in order thal they may have all the assistance possible, both i rom the association and from t lenison College, in making their livestock business both pleasant and prolll -ide.

The Presiden! was careful not to ? take the matter up officially and did not even make bis communication through tbe state Department, 'mt personally addressed tho American ambassadors abroad. He took this course, il became known to-day, nearly iwo months ago and tho facts came to light through the publica tion of a report that the Presiden! bad discussed Hie matter with Euro pean diplomats here. This, bow- ! over, was denied by some of the j prominent diplomats mentioned in connection with it. Including the Cern?an ambassador. Just how the American diplomats abroad were to convey President Wil son's feeling in the matter to the for eign governments has not been dis closed, as White House officials, ill tho absence of the President, dc dined to discuss the subject. lt is believed here, however, that tile Presiden! called attention lo the', article in The Hague Convention ol I HOT, which all the principal bel ligerents are signatory, providing for notice of I hours before bombard ment or attach in order that non combatants may remove themselves from iln< danger /oui1. Whether there have been an> un official responses from tin- belliger ents was no; known here to-day, hut I American diplomats were instructed by the President, it is understood, to handle the matter with such discre tion and delicacy as would tend to end aerial attacks without notice and j at tile same time preserve the friend ship which tlif United states feels' toward all the belligerents involved. lt is not believed thai the Presi dent mentioned any specific violation, bm expressed his views on the gene ral subject of aerial attacks. Through the unolllclal character of the com munication, ii was intended b> the Presiden! ?o bring a boni a ivett ei un derstanding about aerial warfare without . ici nally involving the Amer ican government in the matter, lt is supposed thal the American diplo mats used their good offices, conse quently, in a persona! way with the heiligeren! government, without, per haps, even mentioning the fact that they were doing so al tho request of the President, as such methods of ob taining a desired end are not unu sual in diplomacy.

The explosion which desi rov ed the Bulwark occurred at 7.?? a. m. A vice admiral and a rear admiral who 1 were at Sheerness reported that they were convinced that the disaster was \ caused by a magazine explosion, j 'l here was no upheaval of the water. When the smoko had cleared the ship had entirely disappeared. An Inquiry will be held to-morrow, and the admiralty believes that it may throw some light on the occur rence. Mr. Churchill, speaking in the House of Commons concerning the disaster, said: " The loss of the ship does not sen- i slbly affect our military position, bul I regret Mho loss of life, which was very heavy. Only twelve men were saved. All the officers and the rest ; of th?' crew, which. I suppose, amounted to Too or 800, perished." The force of the explosion aboard the boat was so great that houses in Sheerness and even in Southend. 7 miles away, and on the oilier side of tlie Medway, were violently shaken.

So terribly waa the Bul wark rent thal it was impossible to render her any assistance. Immedi ately after the explosion the vessel was blotted out by smoke, and as the veil slowly lilted a hand full of men were seen struggling in the water. Small craft rushed to their aid and picked them up. Some of tho crew were badly mutilated. A touch of thc dramatic was added lo the catas trophe by the fad thal the bund of the Bulwark was playing when the explosion came. Oconco A. and O. Association.
