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;

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.

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

Thus we find Gotham chiefly depentiem

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.
