THE BEST VARIETIES
OF WHEAT AND OATS
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
Clemson College, October 20.?
Almost every day letters are received
from farmers throughout the
state asking what variety of wheat
or oats should be planted in a certain
section. This is a very hard
question to answer, says the Agronomy
Division, because of the fact
that one variety may yield the highest
one year and other variety the
next. However, the South Carolina,
Agricultural Experiment Station has j
found that some varieties give good j
fields nearly every year while others;
give poor yields as a general average.
As a result of the wheat variety
test that has been conducted at Clem- ;
son College for the last seven years,
the Agronomy Division of the Experi
ment ' Station recommends Deit;c~
Mediterannean, Fulcaster, and Boggs
as among the best varieties of wheat
adapted to our conditions. As a result
of the oat variety test which lias
been conducted for. five years, Fulgrum,
Bancroft, and Appier have
been found to produce the best yields, i
GOES VP OX HIGH
Wealthy Chinese Has Xovcl Trip!
From This Life to Next.
There was a nrettv custom among I
some of the ancients when a prominent
citizen died, to send his valet
along with him on the road to Paradise,
and it was often times necessary
to resort to extreme methods to insure
this company for thl departed.
Eut in the territory of the ChinaAmerican
Trading Company, Ford j
dealers in Tientsin, China, they have I
discovered a much better aid to the I
deceased over the rough places cn the !
trip to the Promised Land.
It is a custom of ihe Chinese to :
burn various kinds of effigies at the i
funeral ceremonies of the rich, the !
I
more wealthy the departed the more !
elaborate the figures burned over his j
grave. These effigies rep'resent ev- (
ery maner of thing such as human fig- j
ures, horses, sedan chairs, fables load- j
ed with money, etc. The figures usu- j
ally conform to some of these stere- j
otyped fashions, but at the funeral of i
a Mr. Li, who died a short time ago :
in Tientsin, and who was a very weai- !
thy man, the bereaved family outdid j
themselves and made an imitation of \
the deoeased gentleman's. Ford car to
be burned at his grave.
This Ford effigy was made entirely I
of strong Chinese paper stretched on j
bamboo and reed frames. The car j
?? was ccmrdc-te in eve**". a'-sil. the ped
ais accurately placed, and aP made ;
of paper and bamboo. The interior i
of the car was also accurate in detail, i
being carefully upholstered in paper.
The effigy of the driver as shown in
the photograph, was a work cf art.
The car was carried about three miles
through crowded streets to the grave- j

This is the first time a motor car

There is no reason why this un-f,

people in the territory covered. No I,
predictions could be made at this ,

next year. According to the records j,
of the past, there is every reason to j j
believe that no serious damage needi<

urged to proceed with no reliance in
the poisoning method for next year,
because this method has not been .sufficiently
perfected at this time for our
planters to rely on it during the next
cotton season. We have great confidence
in the development of the boll
weevil poisoning aiong the lines now
in progress, but it will require a season
or two to develop satisfactory dust
guns, practical under all conditions.
md also to determine a practical program
to inert the varying requirements
on the different plantations
throughout the state. Regardless of
poisoning, the diversification so 'one:
advocated and now in progress will
continue as a logical and inevitable
result of the conditions.
BISCUIT OF A NCI FAT OKItilN
The biscuit is in reality the oldest
form of bread. Nobody knows when
the process of fermentation was intrnrlnr-eit
in baking. but it is certain
that the making of simple cakes with
flour and water and without yeast?
that is. biscuits?dates from the highest
antfciuity, for such biscuits have
been found among neolithic remains.
The Greeks and Romans had advanced
from the primitive form of bread,
but they baked biscuits for special occasions.
for use in military campaigns
md on voyages. Tbe Romans called
this form of bread "panis nautious,"
vhile the Greeks used for it a term
meaning "bread twice put into the
fire." The word biscuit means, of
course, twice baked, but the ancient
sractice of a double baking has long
->een abandoned.
