WIH a Looser ttalary.
(By Joe. K, Auii.)
, Columbia Sept. 20.?With tho r^i|* I
nation of Rear Admiral .Samu*4 McGowan
m ehief highway cotumissioner,
there will during next, month pa**
from the original lUft of South Carcdlna
an unusual figure. Sixteen
months ago. after a distinguished
Mirks in the Navy of the United
State#?a service which had gained
recognition not only in this country,
but in all the nation* amoj,g the Aliifc*
which he served during the World
war. and a service which wa* severely
felt in Germany, against which it wa?
directed?Admiral McGowan had retired
to hia home in Lauren* for rest.
He was drafted into the service of the
St^te as it* chief highway comrais-^
sioner, a position which carries with
It heavy duties and heavy responsibilities.
He came to Columbia, and since
that time he has been oh the job.
Now. he says, his work has been all
but . accomplished, and he want* to go
home.
Admiral McGowan gave the entire
department a thorough shaking-up.
Ho co-ordinated it* activities into a
smoothly running whole, and he ha*
got results. He ha* devoted hia time
and his ability to the work of building
road*, and he has been building them.
Directness is one of his chief characteristics.
He goes straight toward*
his objective. Technicalities have no
jrtore.stood in Hi* way than would
have a frail schooner against a battleship
upon which he rode the waves
when he was handling billion* of dollars
for the goyemment during the
war, or a barbed Wire fence against
one of the heavy tanks. And what he
has done has been in the public gaze,
with what, he and other* have termed
pitiless light of publicity ? pouring
down upon it. When he wanted sign
boards removed from the highways,
Lhe set to work, having given utterance
to the irrefutable logic that- the sign
boards were useless unless they attracted
the attention of the drivers
of motor vehicles, and if they did attract
such attention they were dangerous?and
that they w?re unaightly
and had to go. When motor busses
constantly and continuously exceeded
the speed limit, in spite of warnings,
he began to take action towards putting
either speed governors or speed
sirens upon them, and before he
leaves he will have this matter under
control, or well under way to be concluded
by his successor. When the
campaign waxed warm this summer,
and there came to him complaints
that some of the. employees of the department
were taking an active part
in polities he issued one of his famous
memoranda forbidding any ac-.
tivity, except the simple activity of
voting as the employee pleased.
His various actions and orders and
memoranda have been as crisp and as
forceful as his written words. He
sought to inject into the department
the efficiency of the navy, -to which
he had been accustomed and which he
had helped to create, without any of
i*.1' harshness, if orders were obeyed.
He ear.y became a storm centre. He
has been aggressive, and nothing less
was expected. During the campaign
he and his department were made issues,
and there were attacks upon his
personal character by one of the candidates?but
the attacks were at a
distance, and Mr. McGowan held his
peace. lie told this correspondent a
couple of anecdotes which defined hi3
position. There he let the matter rest.
Hi- is going to be missed from the
department and from the State's official
activities. His successor, Mr.
Ben Sawyer, was strongly urged by
Mr. McGowan, and is highly praised
by him. Mr. Sawyer is familiar with
the work, and with affairs and conditions
in South Carolina and his frends
are confident that he will carry on
successfully.
There has been some comment,
however, upon the action of the Commission
in putting a man in Mr. Sawyer's
place at a .salary of $2,000 les*
than the $0,000, to which Mr. Sawyer's
salary was raised during the last
legislature. The appropriation act
allows the commission to reduce a
salary, hut it is pointed out that if the
work was worth $0,000 for one man. It
is worth $0,000 for another man competent
to perform it, and that either
the salary is too low now or was
made too high last January. Mr. J.
Wesly Wilks, now director of the motor
vehicle department, will go in at a
salary of $1,000, which was the salary
before the dincrcase \>y the legislature
of 1926. It is urged by some that
the action of the Commission would
seem to indicate that the $6,000 salaly
was for the man rather than for
the work of the position. Anyway,
the salary of $6,000 comes back down
to $4,000.

A'NBW WINTER LEGUME. 1
Austria* WiaUr KwU Pr?vf
Valvabk In TUa 8UU. r
tltmion College, kept. 20,?First
trials of the Australian winter field
pea as a cover crop for aoil building
in South Carolina made in the season
of 1024-2$, with small acreages at
Clemson College, Aiken, Camden, and
Charleston, gave excellent results in
all place*. Trials were again mad*
in 1025-20 and results were again ex
telle ut.
At Clemson College the yield of
peas planted *!<*?* was ifitf pounds
of hay per acre; rye and peas together
5772 pounds per acre. Corresponding
high yields were obtained at the other
location^
The Australian pea is a winter legume
of the same family aa garden
peas and aw?et peas, says R, W. Hamilton,
Acting Chief Agronomist, who
says that they come in the rotation at
the same place as vetch. Their advantage
over vetch as shown by two
years' trial, is that they produce more
growth for soil-building purposes or
hay and the seed re ' cheaper per
pound than vetch. They require the
earns inoculation as vetch. The peas
should be sown as early in the fall as
possible at Jhe rate of 30 pounds of
peas and 3 pecks of fye or 1 bushel
of oats per acre. They may also be
grown alone .Preparation for sowing
is the same as for vetch.
The results obtained in trials its this
state and in other southern states,
warrant a more" general planting
of this winter legume. Farmers interested
in trying it, may write to the
Agronomy Division, Clemson College,
for information as to where seed may
be obtained.
