The Spartanburg correspondent of thbe News and Courior furnishes the following inforiation of much valuo to the farmers, especially in the Ple'd mont reg Ion : Wheat conventions, th'o odYer of prizes and the desire on the part of farmers to make their own flour is directing their attention to wheat growing. Ilar vio Jordan, of Georgia, announced that South Carolina raised about one mil lion bushels of wheat and Ii ported the hlour of livo millions. laine wheat may be raised on one-half Llbo arable land of Soutlh Carolina. Tuoso counties whoro it will grow should rais'e their own Supply, leaving only three mnillion bushels to be imported. That is drain enough on the peoplo. l'rof. J. S. Newman, at the head of tio agricultural department of Clem son College, combines theory and prac tice in his instruction In tile College and at farmers' institutes. lli speaks with authority, for his informiation has been secured by actual Work in tho tiolds combined with such facs as science can furnish. Knowing the Ili torest he was taking in the condition of the farmers and the success of the farmers of the State, your correSpon dent auked him to give soeic instrue tion to the people on the subject of sowiig wheat. Wishing to give tho valuablo infor ination the widost, circulation possible, your corresunlOnnt, sends it to Tho News and Courier that tie farmers of every county may havo the beneit of l'rol. Newman's suggestious : C L;MSON COLL.. Pi-, Sept. 15, 1900. Mr. Chas. e'tty, Spartanburg, S. C. -Dear Sir : ltplying to your favor of the 11th in regard to tile preparation of the land and sowing wheat in tho ICdmont suctioI of this State, I sub mit the following suggestions (1) Wheat delights in a comparia Lively still oll, or one containing enodgh clay to give it the proper Con sistenCy. if this soil Is iled with small gravel the drainage will be good. ''h is is very important to prevent freezing out in winter. Tbc land sliould he ploughled, har rowcd an(] rolled until tihe surface is thoroighly pulverize.d before sowinL! the seed. Not one acre in a thousand is properly prepared for wheat. If there is a clay sulboil it will pay to follow in the turn plough furrow in breaking with a long bull tongue to break the subsoil withiout turning it up. (b) Tine for Seeding : The sced should be sown just bof . - or just aft.-r the first frost. If sown ear-ly there is risk of injury from thbe -lttack of the Lleesian fly il the fall, and of destrue tion by frost in spring if It joints too early. If sown too late the risk of wititer killing is incretased, and ripeing late increases the rih-k of rust, smut and bleaching. Wheat should ripen before excessive lical prevails. (c) Varieties : A-i a rule varieties which iave Ibieo acciliated i i thim section in which they are to be IlLntLed are more likely to stuceed than thboso e rown unitder- enti-ely ditforent ,oil and climatic conditions. Varieties known i as Alabana, I0d May, Geo-gia hint,, Blue stem or Puirple straw. The secd, to prevent the attack of stinking smut, should be either scalded or treated with blue stone. (Onfu po lnd dissolved in wate will t:reat i v bushels.) Caro in the use of thle bluc stone is nee~sar-y ton pr1event injury to the germn of t.hu neced. (di) D~epthi to over seed :Ixei tmsntLs have shiowvn thbat wvheat, dloes not, veett satisfactor-ily if covered mio'e than three inches in dth.t - If tbc recd at-c put ini withi a torn plou11gh miiany at-e cover-ed deeper than Lbhis and coin si riuently ai full stand is not, securied. On the contr-ary, where the wvheat, dr iill is used u Pen pr~operly pL ireare land, thbe seed arec covered u n ifotrmly at a depth less thtan tiwo i nes, and hence less seed aire i- qpuiredl to secuire ai staind. (c) I'ertilizing :if a legum.iniouis ct-up (nlitrogetn collet~Ot ) precedes the whle-at it, is net, nec:-ssar-y to apply a futi si-e containing nittrogen or am-~ moia l. Upjoni elay landis upon1 wivi en the forest grow th wvas of har-d wvood trees acid phosph ate will usual 1ly be sullicient. If (xCetsdve tiuantities (of nitroege nous mtanurei-s are u -Ld ther i-cts danger oft too mnuch griow th of straw, caubI rg tisk of z-ust, and lodging.

QUESTI ')N FOIL NAVAI, o( t1C'114;t&S TIo ProlwosetI Abantimonut of Por lWyal Naval Station-Ilteesiny a4acts About th l'ry I)ouk. Scientific A merican. Tihe qiostion of tiho bet site for i naval station on the Atlantic conlts ho t,woon Norfolic and I'onsacola is now beintg Ilado th subject, of investigat. tion by ai pecial comin ilission, w hose ro port to the Socretary of tho Navy wil probably be mado public within tht next fow weeks. Theru is already h existonco at Port lyal a naval statlor which was selected and approved by various comlisions which, after ar examination of tho locality, protloulnc od emnphatically in favor of tiliS site at being the best atlaptud to muout thu ro quirument s of thu caso. Ono of thoict conmissions was presided over by Ad miral Porter, who was strongly In favor of thu, sito, and a lator coum.s sion authorized by Congress in 1888 aid presidud over by Commodore Mc Cann, recommended the establishuionl att lort, Royal of a dry dock, a depot o naval suppihijiUs, and a coaling! station. In the spring of tho present yoar, the Naval A ppiopriation Bil), as passt by the House of It -prosoutatives, con tained an appropriation of $100,000 to ward the rebuilding of the dry dock al this station in concreto or stone. The bill went tO the Senate and was ro ferred to the Committeu on Naval All'airs. While under consideration by this commaitteU, the Secretary of tile Navy stibiitted a letter from Ad miral l'hicott, Chief of the iurcau of Yards and Dotks, in which hl strongly uieprecated the carrying out of any further work of improvement or exten sion of facili tics at I'ort I toyal, and critivisou tWi situ of the dock as being unlsuited, for var in1us1opeciliud reatoils, to tile purposes of a naval st(ttiol, the specilied grounds of objuection st,rAnge to say, being tile very grounds which hal been quoted in all previous investi gationis at. being favoranle for a station. In tile courte of his letter he said ; " During tWle yeatr the Mayor of the city of Uharleotol btugget.Ud tibo pro priety of transferring Llt: ilaval station to that city from 'ort Royal, statIng a imoiL ter Litngs the faciitLies for transportat.ion to tile interitor, the pioximity of at large comiorcial city, the convenionco of obtiaining at all times skilied labor of all classos, an abundance of fresh water, etc., advant ages which are lacking at, 'ort ltuyal.' While the trtsfer would uudo ubtedly resullt in the loss of a great deal of money whi1ch has been expended at Port lRtyal, Admiral i'ndicot.t canbid ers the present is the proper tite to consider the suggestion of thc Miyor. [1he Admir al was eo much iiLlpreLstsCd with the wisuom of the Mayor's sug ge-,tion, that ho gave it hearty en dorsenent and able advocacy through o01 his whole letter. le recotileild ed that tile matter be brought to th attention of the Senate Committee on Naval A fairs, and that a board of of. licers he appointud to " exaiiln into tli lo.ld itions ex ittilg at I 'ort, I oyal, and the varions iquesttions involved in tihe proposition to remove tihis station to Ch1-arietoti lHarbor. Acting upon this letr, the Navy Coimmnit teco amnICIded 1tl bill by au tilorizing the Secretary of tile Naval to tuttuire into'Ihe adVisahility of llov ing tile naval station from Port Itoyal to Chiarieston, and if lie deemed it advis. able to do so, eilpowering hill to ust $100,0M0 of 1he money appropriated in ti.e bill for ti P'ort i loya.i nava i'ttion for tile lurehae of land for it sitL at or ncar the city of Charleston, and~ to proecei wit~ theLI bui ld ing of i (Iry d ock there.
