The plant is equipped with the latest machinery, including a wheat cleaner and smut machine, and the beautiful white flour which it turns out is equal to any made iu the flour mills of Louisiana or Vir ginia for making biscuits, bread and pastry. To General Bamberg was due the credit of the establishment of the Bam berg Cotton Mill, and to one of Barn well County’s sons belongs the honor of giving to the people of Bamberg thefr first roller mill. While the Euro pean war lasts, the selling price of cotton is problematical. Food stuffs areTTound to hold their own or advance in values. The People of South Caro lina are met with the grave problem, “Where can wegetourwheat ground?” Mr. Williams comes to our rescue and gives us one of the best appointed flour mills in the South. THIRD W&K JURORS. Court We will be pardoned in expressing our just pride in Mr. Williams’ success in making first class flour. We feel proud of him, as he is a son of old Barnwell, and bespeak -for -him every degree of success in helping to solve the problem facing our farmers. He is talking strongly of establishing a mill at Barnwell—a duplicate of his Bam berg plant, and our advice to the far mers of this county is to plant wheat heavily and encourage Mr. Williams to come nome and be one of us. The farmers of Bamberg County have grown quantities of wheat and we had to wait over 24 hours before the mill could commence on a consignment of 75 bushels, grown by J. 0. Patterson, Jr., on three acres of land. N. A. P. of General Session* to Convene Her* Monday.

The bulletin lists all buyer* and millers in the State and carries tabulated forms from which the freight on small grain can be easily ascertained to any shipping point within the State. Copies of this bulletin be obtained by application to the County Agent at Barnwell or from the Extension Divi sion of Clemson College. The bulletin is one which will be well worth filing away for reference, and farmers who have quantities of grain for sale should get a copy. Companion Crops for Oats and Wheat. - Wide-awake farmers are now turning their attention to companion crops for ( small grain. Seedmen report that our supply of vetch will be cut off this year on apcptint of the trade channels being closed. Most of our vetch comes from Russia and the Dardanelles being closed, our supply from that country is cut off. We advise our farmers to begin sowing Crimson Clover. Ordi narily ohr soils are not inoculated to the growth of this plant, but by start ing with a smitll area agd inoculating the soil as we go, giving it a liberal treatment of lime and compost, we can grow clovers and vetch as well as any other section of the State. Land thut has been growing vetch is better suited Tor crun son clover than so: I not inocu lated to vetch, and it is to farmers that have not been growing vetch that we advise the substitution of crimson clover. To those who have not inocu lated their soils to either, we advise beginning with a small area for noting the results. Crimson Clover teed can be purchased for 8 cents per pound. Continue Cultivation. Do not make the mistake of laying by crops too soon. The frequent haavy rains will necessitate cultivation being continued longer than usual. Crops should not be laid by with weed growth in the middles or drill. Let your culti vation be frequent and shallow. It is not too late to sow peas in the corn middles. Before the crop 'is laid by, sow the middles down to peas. Hoc* for Wood Pastor*.

The bride looked beautiful in rose crepe meteor, beneath a bower of roses and ferns, where she received the many gifts brought in by little Elizabeth Brinkley and William Jones Dunbar.

First Six Months of War Exacted Peer- M Toll of Hubmui Life. iThe first six months of the European war have exacted a fearful toll of hu man life, figures recently , compiled showing that the Allies have lost, in killed, wounded and missing, 6,034,000 men, while the Austro-German forces have lost 2,797,000. The People takes the fallowing from an exchange. In the first six mpnths of the war, 2,146,000 men were killed, 1,150,000 were seriously wounded, 3,781,000 were slightly wounded, and 1,764,000 were taken prisoners. These figures, said to be based on Red Cross reports include the losses of only the larger nations, those of Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey being omitted for lack of authentic records. The es timates for the five great powers are: Germany: 482,000 killed; 97,000 seriously wounded; 760,000 slightly wounded, and 233,000 prisoners, total, 1,572,000.

Berlin uses a “reliable source” for the denial that a German battleship of the predreadnought type was sunk by a Russian submlrine at the mouth of Danzig bay, but Petrograd’s version la accepted by London. Reading between tLe lines of the official reports It ii hot difficult to de duce that the Russians are making a desperate stand between the Rivers Pruth and Dniester. Grand Duke Nicholas, Russian commander in chief, reports severe fighting in southern Poland, while Vienna admits ihs* the Russians are attacking in strong forces.

The division states that there is no one breed that can be called “beat” for conditions, but that where good rust lers that will make good pork are want ed, the Tamworth will answer. Under normal conditions, the Tam- vforth is a good rustier and produces large litters. It is a hog of the bacon type and the quality of the meat ia high. The Tamworth does not ma ture as rapidly as breeds of lard type, such as the Berkshire and Duroc-jer- sey, but for wood pasture, where con siderable rustling would be necessary the Tamworth would probably be pre ferable. The animal husbandry division re commends that some forage, such as rape, cow peas, etc., be provided for hogs.under such conditions, in addi tion to the mast that they get in the woods. , Farm Manure. Unless barnyard and stable manures are well cared for, a great part of their vdfue is lost to the farmer. Many far mers allow practically all the liquid manure to go to waste, yet liquid man ure and even reasonable precaution should be taken to prevent its loss. The loss from leaching is large and can be prevented by the use of good floors and by keeping the stock well bedded. ! allied land forces at th« covering recant j Gallipoli peninsula, I ing from June 2B to July I rmnltod to | the check of a Turkish offensive at tempted under tho eye of Enver Ptohe, ( Turkish minister of war.
