WHEAT H6IIBES
FOR PAST YEAR
SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS
THAT WERE RECEIVED BY
COMMISSIONER WATSON.
RAISING OWN FOOD SUPPLY
Waste of Money Spent For Things to
Eat Beyond the State?Some Statis
tics on Rye Are Also Furnished?
Yield Per AcreColumbia,?"It
begins to look very
much as If our people are at last going
to realize the vital necessity of
raising something to eat at home,"
said Commissioner Watson In announcing
the figures for the wheat
crop in South Carolina for this year.
Statistics secured by the department
show that the wheat crop is 5,632,000
bushels as against 4,938,000 busheU
for laBt year. The average yield per
acre last year was 10 bushels aud
this year 11.4 bushels.
"I have presented at every meeting
I have attended, the facts in cold figures
as to the waste annually indulged
In for things to eat bought beyond the
borders of the state. We have been
rocking nlong, for instance, sending
outside of the state every year for
flour the appalling suin of $20,000,000,
and most of it I am satisfied is about
| the same class of product as we have
found corn meal to be. In 1908, under
the supervision of this department,
a movement was launched for the increase
of the wheat acreage of the
! state, and several meetings were held
that fall for the specific purpose of
getting our people to undertake the
ruising of wheat with a view to home
consumption. In one section alone
that year, 5,000 acres which had never
been planted in wheat before was put
into cultivation. No result in agricultural
advance has been so gratifying
as that following this campaign, and I
am happy to say that this result has
already contributed to our 1911 crop
record an increase over 1910 of nearly
three-quarters of a million dollars.
"The total wheat crop in 1880, in
this state was 692,358 bushels; in 1900,
on an acreage of 174,215 was only
1,017,319 bushels worth $958,158 and
the average yield per acre was only 9
bushels. On a yield per acre of 8.05
bushels in 1907, the yield was 2,669,000
bushels, worth $3,203,100.00; in
1908 the average per acre again went
to 9 bushels and the yield was 2,833,)00
bushels worth $3,686,000.00.

Send in Your Aoplications.
In the latter part of July, the state
superintendent of Education forwarded
to the different county superintendents
throughout the state the application
blanks for state aid to the high
schools. On August 3, the state high
school inspector sent each state-aided
school a postal card, informing the
school where to get the blanks and
suggesting the sending of the applications
to him without delay. Up to
this time only about one-fourth of
the schools have sent their applications.
To Lessen Chances of Fires.
Urging the removal of all combustible
material from premises, Insurance
ComniisHtcuor McMnster is distributing
throughout the state circulars
showing the danger of fire by allowing
tliis material to accumulate, and
quoting the section of the Acts of 1!?04,
giving representatives of the insurance
department the right to inspect
premises and order the removal of
combustible matter. Mr. H. A. Wliar
ton, deputy insurance commissioner,
recently made inspections covering

COLUMBIA NEEDS BOAT LINE
Water Rate Situation Discussed?
Will Increase Business?A. McP.
Hamby Named as Manager.
Columbia. ? That Columbia needs
the river boat line was brought out at
a meeting of tho executive committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, when
the situation was discussed by A. E.
Gonzales, the president of the New
York, Columbia & Georgetown Boat
company; T. C. Williams, the promoter
of tlie steel barge line and several
well known wholesale merchants.
The opinion was expressed by a number
of representatives that Columbia's
importance as a distributing point for
many commodities is almost entirely
dependent upon its water connection
I With tho Coast. Thoso man nuo tlu>
boat lino for transportation from Columbia
to Georgetown. From Georgetown
there is an arrangement with
the Clyde Line company.
For some time the business of the
boat line has been greatly hampered
by exceptionally low water, but notwithstanding
this fact the company
has done an excellent business. The
situation with regard to river navigation
is vitally important to the
commercial interests of Columbia.
The Chamber of Commerce is interested
in the stimulation of shipping
by water, and at the meeting, which
was called for a free and open discussion
of the situation, the resignation
of J. W. Smith as general manager
of the Columbia, Georgetown &
New York company was accepted,
and A. McP. Hamby, the secretary
of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce,
was selected to have charge
of the boat line under the direction
of A. E. Gonzales, the president. Secretary
Hamby is familiar with river
navigation from his experience as a
government engineer. He will work
to create business for the boat line
and has already outlined his plan of
action. He will guarantee all shipments
by the boat line to be delivered
on time. The work as general manager
of the boat line will not interfere
with his duties as secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
That the boat line means a great
saving in freight rates wes shown by
the experiences related by several
wholesale men at the meeting.
Destroys Illicit Distillery.
Two Deputy Sheriffs, I-ockhart
and Watkins made an expedition into
the kegtown section of this county, a
section notorious for its illicit liquor
dealers, and destroyed ono of the
largest distilleries ever seen in the
county. It had a capacity of 100 gallons.
The officers stated that the tires
were still burning and everything
showed that it was in active operation
at the time that it was destroyed.
However, the birds had evidently received
some intimation of the approach
of the otlicers and had flown.

To Consider Edisto Ferry.
A meeting of the hoard of county
commissioners has been called by Supervisor
Cnntwoll to consider the matter
of the re-establishment of the
Fdisto Ferry connecting Kdi to Island

that $1,500 was appropriated by
the General Assembly at its last session
for the purpose of re-establishing
the ferry, though the specific bill providing

THE COTTON CROP
IS GOOD TO FAIF
LITTLE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
BY DROUGHT, RAINS OR
BOLL WEEVIL.
BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE
Cotton Is Slow in Maturing Thie Year
May Be Exposed to
Frost.
Memphis, Tenn.?The Commercial
Appeal weekly cotton crop reviev
says:
"Lack of rainfall in the Carollnas
i part of Oklahoma and Texas and west
em Oklahoma gives rise to complaints
of shedding of a rather severe kind
while in all other states excessive rain
fall is producing a very rank growtli
of stalk, is retarding the proper set
ting of new bolls, and is rotting a few
| already made.
"The natural maturity of the planl
' is also being delayed, and the croj
will be exposed to unusual dangei
from frost if the rains continue.
"Preceding the inauguration of this
i drouth in the extreme east and the
southwest and heavy rains in the ecu
tral states the plant was well fruited
and comparatively early in growth, so
that, although the loss has been rather
heavy during the past two weeks, the
promise is still good to fair, on the
bright side it is also worthy oi note
that in many localities showers have
been neither excessive nor scant, and
the crop is extremely good.
"Except in Texas and South t'aro
i Una, but little cotton picking has been
' done, and the bolls tire opening slowly
I because of the continued growth ol
i the plant due to the rfains. The boll
weevils in southern Mississippi ami
Ixniisiana now appear active epo tgli
to stop all further setting ? f squares
The worm damage has not been ex

ENGLISH STRIKE SETTLEt

Agreement With Officials.
London, England.?A treinendou

' when announcement was made fron
the board of trade that the raihva;
strike had been settled and that tli

Telegrams were dispatched to al
important railroad mwus. bearing tli
information, and those crossed in trar
sit messages to Ivondon describing tli
strike riots in Llanelly and smalle
points in the kingdom.
The cabinet had been working nigh
and day since the strike threatened t
arrange a compromise. Most of tli
credit for the ultimate success of tlu i

Chicago.
Chicago.?Two aviators, William K
, Iladgcr of Pittsburg and St Croix
Johnstone of Chicago, both young men,
lost their lives at the international
aviation meet here. In dying both re
vealed the lrailty of the craft in
which two score more aviators wen
curving and gliding about the air
with scarcely a pause for the deaths
of their contemporaries.
' Death in both cases was due to un
explained accidents, probably the re
I suits of unsuspected defects in tin
I mechanism of the machines and wa:
in no way caused by carelessness no
lack of responsibility of the drivers.
Badger, a wealthy young man, ca
reened to his death in a pit In tin
aviation field. There had been a 11av
in one of the wings of the propelle
of the Baldwin machine lie drove. Con
| trifugal force broke the propeller, up
set t lie* delicate equilibrium of the in a
chine and Badger dashed 100 feet tc
the bottom of the pit, his neck beinj
J broken. Johnstone fell 500 feed un
der his engine and was drowned a
Iho result of an equally nnsuspoctoi
delect. Caught under the heavy on
gitic in tin- Moisant monoplane, In
was carried deep into Lake Michigai
and his body was not brought to tin
