S'T'ATE-WIDE INVESTIGATION Railroad Tie-up Would Bring Want to Many People in This State. Columbia, May 24.--If an interrup tion of railroad traffic into South Carolina should continue for two weeks, or if for any other cause peo ple of the State should be unable to secure fbod supplies from other mar kets, many men, women and children would be brought to the verge of ac tual want. This alarming condition is made clear from a tabulation of food supplies of the State completed today by Col. E. J. Watson, commis sioner of agriculture, carried out in every- county in the most thorough manner possible. Summarizing his extended report to Governor Manning, which details increases in prices as well as quantities on hand, Col. Wat son says: "The following conclusions seem in evitable. That practically all of the stocks, save about one-half' of 1 per cent, of all commodities are imported and If transportation were interrupt ed the urbiin population would in a few days - be practically helpless for food and feed; that there is an alarm ing proportion of stores examined re porting no stock at all of some of the most essential commodities, such as corn, oats and mixed feeds; that the price situation is most serious, being on some essential articles more than doubled as compared to a year Always Buy the Best TOILET A RTICL ES and Keep Pleased - with Your Appearance A Large Line Every woman want as possible.

WHAT WILL YOU FEED YOUR COWS NEXT WINTER Clemson College, S. C., May 28. Dairymen have just passed through a hard winter on account of the ex ceedingly high 'prices of mill feeds. The dairyman who expects to make a marked success of his business must grow ail of his roughage, and as much of the grain feeds as possi ble, on his farm. It is now full time to begin figur ing on the feed supply for the com ing winter. We must keep our cows in good flesh if we expect them to do their best for us. Every dairy man who has ten or mdfre cows can, not afford to go thru another winter without a silo of sufficient capacity to feed each cow in his herd 25 to 30 pounds of silage per day or ap proximately 1000 pounds per month, for at least 6 months in each year. Plant one-fourth more acreage than you figure to fill your silo, in corn or sorghum, so that should the drouth shorten the crop you will still have enough to fill the silo. Grow and save enough legume (or other) hays to feed each cow 5 to 8 pounds per day if you are feeding silage as above suggested. This would require from 1000 to 1200 pounds per cow for the 5 winter months. ' If you do not have the silage you should save 16 to 18 pounds, or 1 1-4 tons, of hay per cow. This will depend on the size of the cow. Shte must have 'her stomach full 'for best results. It is~ cheaper to fill her on silage and hay than on grain.

They are all good winter feeds for increasing the milk flow and decreasing the ex pense of prod' ion, especially when you do not have a silo. , There is no better grain feed for mixing with our cottonseed meal than corn meal. For this reason we should plant enough corn to feed the cows a balanced ration. She will pay a good price for it. The amount necessary for each cow should vary according to the amount of milk and butter fat she produces. On the average you should plant enough to produce not less than 12 bushels per cow, and as much more as possible. We ca'n grow the corn in South Carolina and a good dairy cow is a p:lendid market.

SOME MAIL ORDER FIGURES. John Lee Mahin stated in a recent book that the mail order business of the United States at the time when he wrote-amounted to $2,094,000.000 annually; that two Chicago houses in 1913 did a mail order business amounting to $113,000,000. At th.e same time he pointed out the annual family income of the United States at the time he wrote wvas $27,000,000, 000, which left a considerable sura for local merchants after mail ordem houses had got theirs. He recom mends that local merchants can best cut down the sales of the large mail order concerns by making some of these sales themselves in mail order style. That is to say, merchants are advised to study the methods used by the great mail order concerns and to go into the field immediately sur rounding them in competition with these New York and Chicago houses. The zone rate of parcel post and other advantages lie with the mer ehant-for example, the promptness with wvhich he can got the goods to people living in the country near. Mahin, wvho is an advertising leader, recommendsa that merchants study mail order advertising in some of the magazines publishedl specially to sell mail order goods.

Waite submitted quietly to. the or deal of being strapped into the chair. and went to his death without a word of protest or good-bye. Three shocks were administered within four min utes. The two hours before his death Waite spent in prayer with his spirit ual- adviser. Just before 11 o'clock the clergyman asked the condemned man if there was any one to whom he wished to send a message of fare well.' "No, thank you, Doctor," Waite re plied with a smile. "There really is no one I know to whom I care to send a farewell message." "Not evenseo your mother?" queried Mr. Pot.son. "No, sir, to none," was the answer. The chaplain declared that Waite, who confessed that he had poisoned his weplthy father-in-law in the ex pectation that his wife would obtain a large share of the wealthy Mr. Peck's estate, seemed to look upon his approaching doom as a wonderful adventure. SAVE CRIMSON CLOVER SEED Valuable Soiling Crop - Probable Shortage Seed This Year. Clemson College, S. C., May 28. The value of crimson clover as a soil improving crop can not be over estimated and its utilization for this purpose should be greatly increased this year in view of the effect it will have on the following crops. The yield of corn is often increased as much as ten bushels per acre follow ing crimson clover, and other crops in proportion. It is very probable that there will be a shortage of crimson clover seed this year, due to the fact that much of the seed that is sown in this country i$ imported from Europe. The supply from this pource will be greatly reduced this year, therefore, we will have to save our seed to meet this shortage. Crimson clover seed may be har vestel with home-made comb strip pers as described in' Farmer's Bulle tin No. 646, U. S. Dept. of Agricul ture. These strippers do very good work, and, ' with the type which is hung to the axle of a buggy or wagon, about two acres may be har vest per day, producing sufficient seed to sow eight to ten acres, Whe the land is too rough for a stripper of this type, the small strip pers which are operated by hand are to be preferred. In view of the high price of staple food products and the effect of crim son clover upon the yield of these products, it is very essential that every firmer should exert himself to save his crimson clover seed, so that the aereage. can be increased rather than decreased next fall.
