MAKE WASTE INTO GARDEN. Splendid l>evelopment Work Now Being Done Around Ritter. Ritter, Oct. 13.?The recent visit of Dr. W. W. Long and District Agent W. R. Elliott served to emphasize what Dr. Boyd, expert in charge ot tick eradication, had previously said of the potential resources of the coastal region in cattle production Tkartipnlarlv and nf live Stock DTO yw?v?v?4>..v, _ duction in general. In a letter to Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., Major Harry Hammond, of Beech Island, S. C., recites the fact that a botanist had found by actual count in ten square miles on this coast more species of plants than Pwere catalogued for the entire State ? of New York! < Aside from heavy mast crops, such *. as acorns, pine mast, beechnuts, miles of chinquapins and no end of berries and roots, hogs had a fattening food fb * in the wampee root, equal to the , . sweet potato, if not superior. The , , woods hog here is not a razor-back, for he is never without a plentiful supply of nourishing food. The ra' V . zor-back is a produet of starvation and racial degeneracy. The wampee , most in evidence here is the alligator wampee, and no amount of rooting J|?< has ever diminished the supply. Hog and Cattle Raising. There is certainly no part of America better adapted to hog raising. EK&Js ~ Equal advantages are offered to the ? cattle industry, for cattle keep fat sV." ' v on the ranges all winter. It was on~ ly necessary to fence them in and ' to provide dipping vats in order to free the ranges of ticks. Sanders & Lemacks have built two dipping vats, one at Bonnie Doone plantation and the other right here at the station. This firm some time ago decided on a policy of consistent development and is carrying it out thoroughfe; ; * ly. All the surface water, except a . few remaining ponds in the woods, ?fc v, . has been drained off. The result has ^- vastly improved the health of the fev'.; Q community, and a still further improvement will follow when the rest BP#. of the work has been done. f t To disabuse people's minds of an |pverroneous notion, it is well to reKflv member that Ritter, although lying gpl^ : within the flood plain of Ashepoo River, is exactly eighty-six (86) feet above sea level. The encircling > heiehts are one hundred feet on an (average; some -are higher. This is acording to a United States survey, made within thirty days. These hills are some forty feet higher than Summerville, although the distance from salt water is about the same. Bearing this in mind, one can understand why there is such a fine fall for drainage, even the lowest places being capable of perfect drainage. The annual rainfall is fifty-five (?5) inches, or,ten inches more than '' j Beaufort, Barnwell or Hampton counties, and the very heaviest in the Sftate except a .small area in Oconee and Pickens counties. This area of heavy rainfall extends a little beyond Charleston. Tiling Rice Fields. The Ashepoo Plant company, closely allied to the Colleton Mercantile and Manufacturing company, carries on its operations in two old rice fields. The president, Mr. Paul Sanders, has tile-drained one of these ifc' - v * - fields and is now tiling the otner. It looks almost like a miracle to see how dry these wet fields have become f&jt!- i by means of tiling. The heavy, stiff if clay breaks up, becomes easily triturated when marl or lime is put on end forms an ideal soil. Mr* Paul Sanders has also built a Hljfey-'; modern lot, thoroughly under-drainj ing it with tile, so thait stock ancl / ;men have no slush and mud to wade jtf.V through, as has been the custom for some centuries past in this region. ' ' This year the corn has been cut, gf shocked and shredded with a modern shredder. Mr. Sanders's idea has been to develop a great property as occasion required, and to settle it judiciously f with desirable settlers. He has steered clear of the usual way of exploit; ' ing land by so-called whirlwind ^ J ? * ..^lAndincr it ATI ID 61110 US &I1U Ui umuauius n vu somebody. |:a The tiling of the land has demonstrated the entire feasibility of this method of draining land. True, land has been (tiled before in South Carolina, some of it fifty years ago, as was done by Mr. William G. Hinson, of James Island, and later by MajoT John S. Horlbeck, in Christ Church fef;' Parish. A few years ago Clemson college tile-drained a part of the coast land; but Clemson college never could be induced to publish figures, nor would they furnish them to persons interested in tile drainage. The value of their experiment was neutralized by this fact, as cost of put - - - * i ting down tiles is tne wnoie tmng, from the standpoint of the average farmer. Cost of Tiling. Mr. Paul Sanders has laid tiles for less than thirty dollars an acre and > detailed figures can he had by anybody that wishes them. Four-inch &' - N \r' ' THE NEW BELGIAN CAPITAL. , How That Government is Accommodated in a French City. Havre, however, is something more than a British base. Havre is the; | Belgian capital. Imagine if you can j . the government of the United States , ' moving to Atlantic City, or better | yet, to Asbury Park, with the Japa-j nese, or the Mexicans, or even (to | make the analogy exact) the Germans in possession of Washington. , Stick the State department into one . empty shop along the boardwalk, the navy department into another, with , the departments of commerce, labor, , agriculture, education and what not > occupying adjacent shops in the same | building. There yorn have an idea of Belgium in Havre. The Belgians chose a large newbuilding on a bluff facing the sea, four stories .high, with a jow of shops fronting the street. Over the main > entrance a small sign in blue and white letters was erected: Palais des ministeres. The Belgium arms were stuck over the door, and the Belgian flag run up a staff on the roof. Two sentry boxes were set dow-n at the right and left of the entrance and , 'the ministry moved in, after arriving in Havre, together with the entire diplomatic corps (Brand Whitlock excepted) in motor cars one (dark night in November. This arrangement holds today, except for the ministry of war, which is important enough to occupy a large stone villa almost at the water's cugc. Outside this villa the Belgian flag flies during the day. At sundown it is lowered with what ceremony can be devised. Three or four gendarmes line up at attention. At the door of the garage in the little garden the, military chauffeurs stand with hands raised in salute. On the lawn under the windows a few clerks group themselves and Baron de Brocqueville, minister of war, and his small staff appear at the top of the lowsteps. The passersby, if any, pause and remove their hats. A dirty trench mortar, rescued from active service, still smeared with gray war paint, is discharged. A bugle is sounded very slowly. Then, with everybody looking straight across the water tow-ard England, the flag of Belgium flutters down. A soldier steps forward and folds it up, and not until he has disappeared into the house with it- under his arm do the stiff figures unbend. ' King Albert, they will tell you, has nevef been in Havre. "Why?" you ask. "He is in the field with his army." It is a simple answer, all-satisfy!??? Dn+ orio Mnnnt hilt SOfiCulate lli^* i^Uk UUV VWUUW whether there may not be another reason for King Albert's absence,' whether perhaps he does not care to face <that sunset ceremony on the \ lawn of the stone villa which is his ministry of. war, with a big white department store structure in the background housing the sovereignty of his nation.?Havre letter to Brooklyn Eagle. Told of Quay. Clifford Berryman, the Washington Star cartoonist, tells the following story on himself, says Cartoons Magazine. "Many years ago, when I had been in Washington only a short time and had a kid's propensity of asking questions I said to the late Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania: "Senator, how is it that you have kept your seat in the senate so long when there are so many other able and brilliant men from your State wlio must covet it?" " 'Young man,' said Quay, 'I have never kicked a friend to please an enemy.' " (with sometimes 5-inch and 6-inch) tiles are used for laterals and 12inch for the main drains. This gives perfect results here. Of course, sometimes it would be necessary to use a 16-inch tile or even larger for the main drain. This is among the many reasons why the work here is unique. It has been done by- a few individuals, without the employment of large amounts of capital and results have been had from the outset. The demonstration shows that such work in soil improvement is well within the means of the one-horse i farmer, for any man with character , and energy, who is a successful far1 mer on a small scale, can tile ten acres of land and twenty with a lit. tie help. ! The example set by Mr. Paul San' ders in his two companies will be , widely copied. Dr. W. W. Long stated that some ' time ago he was asked out West what we were doing with the rice fields, and he was compelled to an, swer that nothing was being done. Now he can say that he has seen two rice fields drained and yielding rich returns in varied crops. "What shall we do with the rice fields?" The best answer is what has been done here.
