ADVISES RUTABAGAS Rutaha?d3 should no planted between the fifteenth of July and the fifteenth of August. In the eastern part of the state the fifteenth of August is not too late, but in the central and western part it is better to plant the middle of July, suggest the horticulturists. First, thoroughly prepare 1110 land by plowing and harrowing until a perfect seed bed has been formed. Apply the fertilizer broadcast at the rate of X00 to 1,000 pounds per acre. A fertilizer analyzing 8 percent phosphoric acid, 4 percent nitrogen, and 3 percent potash will give good results on a sandy or sandy loam soil. In clayey loam soil it will not be necessary to have more than 1 to 11-2 percent potash . The fertilizer should be applied after the ground has been plowed and before harrowing. The main trouble in growing rutabagas is in securing a good stand during the hot summer months. Ex penence nas snown tnat wnen tne seed are planted in furrows two inches deep and covered by simply running: a wheel of an old wheelbarrow or planter oyer the row this will mash them into the soil and cover them very slightly.' When the seed germinate the roots will be near the moist Roil and will therefore stand drought well. If they are planted on the surface they will be slow about germinating:, and frequently when they do germinate the young plants will die on account of drought. It will require about a pound of seed to plant an acre, in rows about three feet apart. After the plants have come up to a good stand and have formed the fourth leaf, they should be thinned out to 19 to 12 inches apart in the row and cultivated clean, gradually working the soil towards the plants. The turnips will be ready for use about the first of November, but there is no necessity for harvesting them until the meather has turned cold, say the first of December. The turnips are pulled up and the tops cut off below the bud and the roots banked by covering with soil. Ten to fifteen bushels of turnips may be Tkiif i n r?i Jinrl niloH lin ill POMP shape. They should be covered by at least six inches of *oil. Turnips put up in this way will keep in perfect condition until the weather begins to turn warm in the spring. o MEXICO CONS I'M ES MORE THAN SHE PRODUCES El Paso.?Mexico's rate of consump tion is so great that not only are nearly all of the products of that country being consumed there but a steady demand is being made of the United States for raw materials, foods, grains, machinery, and agricultural implements. This announcement comes from the Amnican consulate at Jaurez, Mexico, where Cot: John Dye has compiled (l*'tn relative to Me-.iVo1 trade relations with the United State-;. Export ations from the United States to ihe south republic are steadily increasing, cu. toms officials report. Mexico's ranges, practically depleted of livestock during the revolution, are slowly being restocked. mi _ it's ? . i ne unno'i ?>iaie i- pract icall v the only sourer* of supply for Iho slato of Chihuahua, according to tho consular reports. Chihuahua citizens are poor because of tho revolution and .lack purchasing? power, according to the reports, hut anticipate largo future purchases from the United States. Included in Mexico's exports to the United States the mineral ores, sugar, vegetables, wooden products, and miscellaneous articles. The southern republic, according to the report, is not as dependent on the United States for shoes and boots as heretofore. There are three shoe factories in Mexico City which are furnishing practically all the footwear for interior Mexico and to a large extent along the border., A new tannery has also been opened there with modern tanning devices which prepare the hides for immediate use in the shoe factories. Another tannery of importance is in full operation at Agua Prieta, Sonora. o Hw Quintal That Docs Not Affect the Heat fiecruM of it* tocic nod laxative etfcct, LAX A TV'Jt BUOMO ODJNJNR it better o*dinar> Su'u.nc and doro not caime TKrrousur?<i no Afrna in head, Jlem?nib??r tb* lull n*>mc ai^ 4oqa ih> Ore ?mtn*cs ol li.

Reyes, director of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry of the Philippines Islands, asserted in an address here the other day that the economic progress of the islands in the last 20 years had been unprecedented. He 'was speaking at the International Exposition of Rubber and other Tropical plant*. Mr. Reyes also pointed out the opportunities for the investment of for eign capital in developing the resources of the Philippines. He gav,? j credit to the administration of the {United States government in the I Philippines saying: "By promoting one of the most modern and efficient systems of public education, by placing upon our own shoulders the responsibilities of managing our own domestic affairs, and by assisting" us in raising our standard of living, the American people have given to my people as a J lasting blessing all that is best in (American life and institutions." Value of Exports. As indicative of the enormous I growth of the trade of the islands, !Mr. Reyes cited figures showing the total value of imports and exports in 11831 to have been only $1,217,071) compared with a total in 1920 of $800,5fi2,138. Mr. Roves said great progress had been made in agriculture. This, he stated, included big increases i.i areas planted to crops, corresponding increases in yield and stupendous advances in value. Causes contributing to the agricultural development, he said, were the pushing of the food campaign during the war loaning to rice and corn farmers of funds appropriated by the Philippine Legislature, the introduction of modern agricultural machinery, seed selection, the upgrading or live stock, the formation of Rural Credit Cooperative societies by legislative enactment, laws aiming at the eradication of the locust plague and the creation of a system of cooperative insurance to cover losses in work animals. "With the increased agricultural production and the conseouent increase in her capita wealth of the people, it stands to reason that the commerce of the country will witness a corresponding growth," declared Mr. Reyes. "The Phillippines too, because of their stategical location, can serve as a convenient distributing point for the Asiatic trade. The manufacture of finished articles for China, Siberia and other Oriental countries from tropically grown raw materials can, of course be carried on in the Phillippines to great advantage. Opportunities In touched. ; "The saving in freight alone j would be a decided gain to the manufacturers. At present the people of the Phillippines pay more for (refined sugar than the people of the United States, though raw sugar is one of the principal exports of the country. The field of sugar refining ! is practically untouched. Fish, vegetable and fruit canning are practically unknown, though the exctss production of fruits, vegetables and fish at certain seasons, not to speak of the greater production that would doubtless result through the development of the canning industry, would be sufficient to maintain several large canneries. All in all, the opportunities for the manufacturer j are such that they are bound to draw enterprising capital to the isi lands." I o Tnrc Arm MT^xt HOLD MEETING Friday.

IP lOtiT nH.P, 00fc#i DAIRY WORK MAKES PROGRESS Extension Service Established a Specialist at Florence., Florence, S. C.?Mr. C. W. Scllmolke has been stationed in Florence by the South Carolina Extension service as a dairy specialist. He has assumed his duties and now is making his initial trip through his territory. On this trip, he will make a thorough survey of the status of the dairy business, its development to date, and its potential possibilities. At present, Mr. Schmolke may be "eached through the office of Mi. T. Benton Young, district agent. Territory in charge of Mr. Schmolke includes the counties of Lee, Sumter, Marlboro, Florence, Dillon, Marion, Williamsburg. Clarendon, Berkeley, Georgetown, Charles-" ton, Dorchester, Colleton and Horry. He will be at the service of anyone within these counties to assist him in solving his problems of feeding, silo building, herd handling, milking, establishing milk stations, and managing them, building up production, manufacturing, and practically any subject which may arise in the dairy work. Mr. Schmolke is English by birth. For many years he was in the special dairy work of the English I government and served extensively in South Africa. About two years niro he came to the United States, since then be has taken a special course in this subject at Ames University of Iowa, from which he graduated with honor, Beside excellent academic qualifications fov the work, Mr. Schmolke has had several years practical dairying experience. The extension service believes it has procured an able man for this work.

C.?"Without the valuable aid of South Carolina's wide-awake newspapers in spreading* the gospel of better farming and a better rural life, the Extension Serivice of Clenison College and the U. S. Department of Agriculture would be deprived of one of its longest and strongest arms," says Director W. W. Long in speaking of the rapid progress which is being made in these matters. "The Extension Service has a well equipt force of specialists in office and field, and it has county agents in practically every county in the state; and these workers reach annually thousands of people through demonstrations, lectures, personal visits, etc. Rut where these workers reach thousands the newspapers reach tens of thousands with theirarticles of news, instruction, and propaganda for better farming and a more nrosnerous land contented rural life. Naturally the greater part of such material emanates from the Extension Service and its workers; and logically it reaches and helps many who could not bf reached otherwise. Thus it exJ tends the work of the Extension Service forces. Hence my appreciation of the work of the newspapers. "It is particularly gratifying to see so many papers, daily and weekly devoting many columns to farm 'copy', some in admirably conducted far.n der?.,:,,ti:i?:.ts ana otnci" in. general news columns. Through the division of publications the county agents are being led more and more to be of service to their local papers jir. this matter, and it is hoped that the editors will call upon the agents 'and use them in every possible way for this sort of help. Certainly we desire the most efficient co-operation in working with the newspapers for the common good." o Wt \ - * llfXpSrfc. I! -p MOTHERS"?

I used to take this road to town, Behind a jogging team, With time to call on Jack and Bill, And look and plan and dream, On homeward way I'd stop, When day was on the wane, And gather plums by the creek To take to Mary Jane.
