In the last batch of prisonJ

only a few granted pardons. Most of

numerous men in the South Carolina

oal to foreign interests and that it
rill move through Southen ports, is

utfhed to completion and put in opration
without delay, as this is the

rould move as far as Spartanburg,
'rum here to Charleston or Savaunal'

The Federal Department of Agricultnre
Tells How to Make Biggest
Yield of Potatoes.
"We would suggest to the farmer
that hd geto hlg potatoes ]into the
ground at the very first favorable
opportunity as weather conditions are
apt to bo very uncertain (luring the
winter months and the quicker the
planting the letter for results in this
section," declares a prominent seedsman.
"The department of agriculture at
Washington says that our yields
would t>e materially increased if our
farmers would treat for scab; make
better seed selection; use more $eed
per acre," continued thei seedsman.
The following information has been
gleaned from a government bulletin
>n iMitatoe planting.:
'Treat for scab by immersing your
<eed stock for two hours in a solution
containing one pint of formalin
to SO gallons of water; on removal
from liquid cut and roll In air slaoksd
lime and plant deep. Cotton seed
meal may Ik? used successfully for fertilization.
"Use only high grade seed. The
use of high grade seed would increase
the returns from the potatoe crop of
the country by many millions of dolars,"
and the department also tells
us that Scotch and Irish growers plant
?-v,on ir luicimlq nf seed nor
iui icno uiun u?
acre; while the average American
rrower plants about 9 bushels i>er
acre.
