NV - V ft* WHEAT FIGURES FOB PAST TEAR 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 *ic? on Hye Are Also Furnished? Yield Per Acre. Columbia,?"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 thiB year. Statistics secured by the department show that the wheat crop is 5,632,000 bushels as against 4,938,000 busheh for last year. The average yield pei acre last year was 10 bushels and this year 11.4 bushels. "I have presented at every meeting I have attended, the facts in cold lig ures 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 foi flour the appalling sum 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 b<s. In 1908, un der the supervision of this department a movement was launched for the in crease of the wheat acreage of the state, and several meetings were held that fall for the specific purpose ol getting our people to undertake the raising 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 agrlcul tural advance has been so gratifying as that following this campaign, and 1 am happy to say that this result has already contributed to our 1911 croj record an increase over 1910 of nearlj three-quarters of a million dollars. "The total wheat crop in 1880, ir this state was 692,358 bushels; in 1900 on an acreage of 174,215 was onl> 1,017,319 bushels worth $958,158 am the average yield per acre was only t bushels. On a yield per acre of 8.0? bushels in 1907, the yield was 2,669, 000 bushels, worth $3,203,100.00; ir 1908 the average per acre again wen to 9 bushels and the yield was 2,833, 100 bushels worth $3,686,000.00.

The regular monthly meeting of the Orangeburg chamber of commerce was held at the city hall and Commercial Secretary Marchnnt made his report concerning the 'booster" trio. He stated that he has gotten in touch with many important men along the Pregnall's branch of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and nearly everyone is in favor of the proposed change of schedule. The county fair was discussed. Pids are being received for the erection of the main fair building and the premium list his been arranged. The matter of extending the great white way was discussed and the matter was enthusiastically received. Action will be taken at the next meeting. 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 appli canon 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 j the schools have sent, their applications. To Lessen Chances of Fires. Urging the removal of all combustible material from premises, insurance Commissioner McMaster is distributing throughout the state circulars showing the danger of fire by allowing this material to accumulate, and quoting the section of the Acts of 1904, giving representatives of the insurance department the right to inspect premises and order the removal ol combustible matter.

So retary Hamby is familiar with riv< navigation from his experience as government engineer. He will woi to create business for the boat lir and has already outlined his plan < action. He will guarantee all shi| ments by the boat line to be deliver* on time. The work as general ma ager of tlie boat line will not interfei with his duties as secretary of tl Chamber of Commerce.

W ig "Preceding the inauguration of this drouth in the extreme east and the s' southwest and heavy rains in the cenft" tral states the plant was well fruited n" and comparatively early in growth, so & that, although the loss has been rather Jcj heavy during the past two weeks, the i0!

New Orleans.?Branding the proposed plan of the Liverpool cotton hills of lading committee to institute in New York a clearing house for the \alidation of cotton hills of lading as a "direct reflection and insult upon those engaged in the exporting of cotton." and placing itself upon record as opposing the plan in its entirety, the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, through its board of directors, passed resolutions to this effect and approved the report of its special committee uppoitted to investigate the proposition. The directors also adopted resolutions authorizing its president to issue invitations in the name of the exchange to all Southern exchanges, hoards of trade, hankers and exporters ami owicrs niiiii'sii'ii in uic uanuiing of cotton to meet hero in joint cotference, probably during the annual convention of the American Hankers' association about November 20, next, lor the purpose of adopting measures for tiie protection of their respective and mutual interests. The local exchange expressed itself as being willing, in the future an in the past, to co-operate in any feasible and just plan for the protection cf the legitimate cotton trade and the elimination of practices contrary tj commercial morality; any feasible plan that will not take further tribute from the Southern planters. All cotton exute unci pom interests iti a conierence. explained the entire plan to the local committee, but as to change front the original plan was noted he was informed that an adverse report would be made and the proposition opposed. The committee, in giving reasons for ? pposing the plan, reported that the losses through Knight, Yancey ec Co., and Steele, Miller A- Co. were nothing, and "consequently there was nothing to justify the complex and cumbersome methods of handling cotton," as proposed.
