the dreadnaughts' salutes of

Secretary Daniels, turning from

in view for six years since I

y after induction into office to study

American flee that was truly an
American fleet, at home and in equal
itrength on both coasts. This adance
into powerful fleets is an
poch in naval history and presages

Scientific Hoeing.

I
Is the hoe an implement of sci'ence?
Is it supposed to stand up or j
jbend double? Is hoeing hard work? i
As a matter of act, it all depends up'on
your viewpoint. The man who
I stands up when he hoes does not re-1
gard it as hard work since his hoe
can only dig under and not in. Doesn't
it make you tired to watch some
folks hoe? They get all tied up in
a knot and seem to think their job is
to move the entire patch clean down
to China. Just looking at the angle
at which the hoe is fitted to the handle
shows that the operator is supposed
to stand ercet, for then the J
hoe slides along just underneath the i
surface cf the ground so as to cut
off the weeds, thereby destroying
+hprr. Hoeine- with the blade straight |j

POTASH EMBARGO LIFTED.
Senator Smith Wins Fight for the
Farmers.
P. H. MeGowan in The State.
Washington. Aug. 7.?Senator E. j
D. Smith of South Carolina, who ap-1
peared last week with Senator Fre- !
linhuysen of New Jersey and a delegation
of farmers before the war
trade board to urge the lifting of the
embargo against imports of potash 1
from enemy countries, was informed
by the board today that from this
date such imports might be freely
made from every source except Hungary
and such parts of Russian as remain
under Bolshevik controlRetention
of the embargo until
October was demanded by producers
of trona potash and otner American
potash interests, their expectation
being that by that date congress
would have provided a protective
tariff and that their own production
would be equal to domestic demands.
I Farmers opposed this policy on the
ground that prices of potash were
ruinous and that some of the American
potash had wrought damage to
crops. William Banks of the South
Carolina department of agriculture
exhibited photographs taken in the
Pee Dee region of his State, showing
many instances of such damage,
j Heretofore potash could be imported
jonly under certificate of non-enemy
j origin. The board has also by the
I order issued today raised the embargo
on sugar and on wh,eat and
wheat flour, the control of the latter
two items being passed to the wheat
director.
Representatives of the American
Potash Producers* Association told
the war trade board that to lift the
embargo now would enable German
syndicates to make contracts for supplying
the American demand years
in advance at lower prices than the
American infant industry could meet,
although with a minimum of five
years protection the American producers
believe they could supply at
least half of the home requirementsNebraska
producers said that if the
I OTV1 Vio-i*rrn wot*** until OC
tober and freight rates put into effect,
which had been practically
agreed to by the railroad administration,
they would be able to resume
operations immediately and would
eventually make American agriculture
independent of Germany in respect
to potash.

CONGRESS PASSES BILL TO
FACILITATE CARRYING COTTON
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 4.?The
I South Carolina Cotton Association is
I in receipt of the following dispatch
from Washington:
"The house of representatives has
just passed a bill which would amend
in two particulars the existing law so
as to facilitate the carrying of cotton
and other non-perishable marketable
staples to a more liberal extent
than has heretofore prevailed. The
measure stands an excellent chance
of becoming law."
Representative W. F. Stevenson,
of Cheraw, who is a member of the
banking and currency committee, introduced
bills looking to this end in
consequence of request from the
South Carolina Cotton Association.
The result was that the banking
and currency committee reported a
bill which provides that "drafts and
bills of exchange secured by shipping
documents conveying or securing
title to goods shipped, and including
demand obligations when secured by
documents covering commodities in
actual process of shipment, and also
including bankers' acceptance of the
kinds described in section 13 of the
' federal reserve act" shall not be conI
sidered - money borrowed and sub!
ject to the provision that no one per
I son could borrow over iu per cent
! of the banks' capital and surplus.
Under ruling by the comptroller
in 1917 it was decided that if such
drafts were held by the banks for
more than a reasonable time awaiting
! the arrival of the cotton or other
j merchandise they become promissory
j notes and subject to this 10 per cent
! provision. Under the present method
| of handling cotton, this ruling tied
i up the shipper of cotton and hamper;
ed the dealing in it very seriously.
j The bill which has passed the house
j wouJd make it absolutely sure that
j as long as the goods are in shipment
j and the draft and bill of lading are
! held together, the 10 per cent limit
I does not apply. In addition to that
; the bill amends the law so that a
I
; farmer or a merchant may borrow
i on notes secured by shipping docuj
ments, warehouse receipts, compress
j receipts, etc., as much as 25 per
cent of the capital of the bank, provided
the warehouse receipts securing
the note are worth 1 per cent
above the amount of the note.
In other words, with a warehouse
receipt for cotton for $10,000, a man
can borrow $9,000 and he can do
enough of this to take up 25 per
