, TRUCK FARMING SPECIALISTS TO ASSIST GROWERS. Clemson College, May 15.?In view of the large acreage of tryck crops | planted and being planted this year! by South Carolina farmers, the Ex- { tension Service is deeply interested in promoting business-like marketing so that a profit may be realized by the | gTowers if possible. The proper grading, packing and loading or truck j crops frequently spells the difference; j between loss and a profit and inas- j much as there are so many farmers j producing truck crops for the first j time who have had little or no experi- ! 'ence in grading, packing and shipping, j the Extension Service lias secured i three truck marketing specialists, which Director Long announced last week would be,employed temporarily for the purpose of instructing the truck and fruit growers along these j Ines. These three men have hadj long experience in Florida and the West in this kind of work and should be the means through which South Carolina farmers will gain quickly information that it requires ordinarily -.TAOT.Q rkf ovnpripnff and much loss tc J vj v* acquire. The truck marketing! specialists to be employed are as follows: Newton S. Franklin, of Maitland, Fla., has had two years' experience as packing house foreman at Orlando, Fla., with various crops and several years' experience in Georgia, California and Colorado and on the east coast of Florida with cantaloupes, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and potatoes. He is 28 years of age. Donald D. "Whitcomb, of Sanford, Fla., is 26 years of age and has had two years' successful experience as field agent and packing house foreman for the Sanford Truck Growers' Association. W. A, Stringfellow, recently field agent for the American Fruit Growers, Inc., in Florida, is the third man. All of these are expected to be in C/-vntv? r,s>rniina chortlv and available to assist local truck growers' associations and some individuals in preparing truck for market. THE PLACE OF SHEEP IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Clemson College, May 15.?The production of meat in South Carolina has always been less than the con' ^ ?t and it io nflvlT / sumyuuu V> uuiu nanaui, ouu aw w nv .. -crease, according to L?. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal Husbandry Division, who thinks tat small farm flocks of about 50 ewes sould be seen on many farms. Sheep require less care than hogs and much less rangcthan beef cattle, and in a thickly .populated state of small farms, such as South Carolina, they should prove a profitable source of revenue. Wool and- Meat from Sheep An average high grade sheep can produce a fleece weighing from five to .eight pounds, and raise a lamp weighing 80 pounds in a year. 11 necessary it can live without a single mouthful of grain, since our forage crops and permanent pastures will carry sheep the year round. Though in this section of the country grain is scarce, forage crops and permanent pastures may be cheaply and easily grown, and sheep will utilize these crops at a profit. In fact, sheep have two important advantages over other classes of livestock. They require practically'no grain they destroy brush and bushes; * *? ir t>_ I/raw IBM "?K ft JIA) OC VVCTWJUf. It is quite true that there are manydrawbacks to sheep raising, such a; dogs, stomach worms, poor fences poor markets, etc.; but these difficulties may be overcome. For example, if the people in a community get interested in sheep they also get interested in eliminating the curs and taking proper care of the good dogs. If sheep are frequently changed from one pasture to another, stomach worms and other parasites may be controlled. If a few neighbors go together and raise sheep they can pool their wool and market lambs by the carload. The best way to get into the sheep business is to locate and purchase a half-dozen high-grade ewee. By saving the ewe lambs the flock may be gradually enlarged to the size desired. There is probably no breed of sheep better adapted to this state than the Southdowns. They are hardy, blocky sheep, well adapted to the production of mutton. Poor Father.

OATSKILL WATER COST NEW YORK $170,800,000 New York.?For such a wicked city?wicked in the sense of its reputation of wholesale Volstead violation?New York drinks and otherwiseuses a lot of water. The per capita consumption of water in the Greater City is 109 gallons a day, an aggregate of 660,000,000 gallons, of which 40,000,000 gallons are furnished by the private water companies of Brooklyn and Queens, the huge remainder of ft no ft ft ft heinff drawn from fnui watersheds, the Oroton, the Mvram the Bronx and the Esopus. or Caiskill. Of the 0.000.000 inhabitants, niurf or less, of New York City, all but about 400,000 are supplied with water by the municipality, which collects a water revenue amounting to about $15,000,000 a year. That 400,000, constituting part of the inhabitants or Brooklyn and Queens, are the customers of the private companies which j are in the process of being absorbed into the municipal water supply sys-j tem which as a whole represents an outlay of about $350,000,000 in 80 j years. The total length of city-owned i water mains, varying in diametei from four to 00 inches, within the metropolis is about 3,000 miles, exclusive of high-pressure fire service mans. Connected with them are 40,000 fire hydrants. There are about 397,000 connections, known as services, through which water is drawn for domestic or business purposes. The length of the high-pressure fire service mains in Manhattan :s 128 miles and in Brooklyn 45- miles, tapped by 4,000 hghpressure hydrants. The combined New York City water supply with average rainfall in the watersheds can be counted upon to yield 750,000,000 gallons daily, or 130,000,000 gallons more than is now required. It comes down to the city by three aqueducts: The Old Croton 38 miles long; the New Croton, 33 miles long, and the great Catskill Aqueduct, extending 92 miles from thel Ashoken Reservoir, 14 miles west oi j V Kingston, N. Y., and passing under! the Hudson River, finally reaching the northern bounds of the metropolis. Three-fifths of the water used is Catskil land two-fifths Croton. Catskll water is being used to nearly the full present capacity of the Catskill Aqueduct, because through its In-jet ovnensivp nf The SUDUlieS tO OP erate. Thus we find Gotham chiefly depentiem upon its Catskni water, it: In the corner 01 a Fifth avenue t r.us the other morning sat a man who 17 years ago was roundly abused by th? newspapers for his part in carrying forward the Catskill project. His part was nothing less important than the .appointment of the first Board of Water Supply Commisli-rers, as lie was mayor of New York at the time, and his name is Georgt B. McClellan. it so happened that Mayor McClellan broke with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and a.though a Democrat he has been in political eclipse since finishing his term as mayor. However, in the World War he was commissioned as a major in the Ordnance Department, showing a military heritage, being the son of Genera McClellan, of the Union Army in the Civil War. He has a beautiful country home the Water Tower, at Princeton, where he is a professor at the University on subjects of economics and history. As Professor McClellan, leaning across the aisle in the bus, asked after various reporters who once covered City Hall, there came a dry smile to his clean-cut features when I asked J if he ever felt any misgivings ovei his part in the plannng of the Cat SKU water supply. "Only this," he said, "we underestimated rather than( over-estimated tne city's future needs." Look to Future Needs. if New York City continues to inciease in population and to use water at the same or a greater rate for each . person than now. it is, of course, a queston of simple mathematics to compute the date when the city's demand for water will have outstripped j the capacities of its present water systems . Where the next supp/y can be ob- ( tained cannot now be safely predicted. Possibly the legal obstacles j which bar New York City from Suffolk County on Long Island can be removed, and, similarly, water physically obtainable at moderate cost in Connecticut and Massachusetts might be made available through the overcoming of interstate restrictions. Difficulties in the Roundout Valley might be surmounted, and the Catskill Creek water, although of less satisfactory qualities and expensive to obtain, may bec^m" the most feasible supply at some distant date. Beyond these are the waters of the Upper. Hudson, in the Adirondack Mountains, to which people so fr? quently advert without appreciate of the cost of developing and c-onvej ing these waters to the metropolis. Total Cost $179,800,000. Fur surveys, real estate, construe, tion .engineering and general super vision and all other items except in terest on the bonds, the total cost othe completed Catskll water systen ?initiated by Mayor McClellan? would be about $179,800,000. T? April 1, IS22, the sum ol' $151,784,82had been expended. It ranks anion; the most notable enterprises ever car ried out by any city. State or nation For the varety, complexity and diffi culty of the physical problems involved, as well as for its magnitude and cost, it stands with the great canals, with the trans-continental railwoj lines and with New York's own subway system. That portion of this huge water supply system which has been completed constitutes more than three-quarters of the whole that is planned, and includes the Ashokan reservoir, an artificial lake 12 miles long, in which are stored the waters of the Esopm Creek; also Catskll Aqueduct, running for nearly a hundred miles under rivers and valleys, towns and country estates; the Kensico storage reservoir of the City of Ynkers, and the Silver Lake terminal reservoir on State-n Island. There have also been completed within the city's limits 35 miles of tunel and pipe lines under towering buildings, which serve to deliver the water into the pipes through whch it finally reaches the consumer.* In order wholly to complete the system, theer remains the development of the Schoharie watershed by the construction of the Gilboa dam, which will form the Schoharie reservoir. From that reservoir the water will be diverted through the 18-mile Shandakon tunnel, and will find it? way down the present channel of Esopus Creek to the Ashokan reservoir.
