It is possible tht this change has been made in a number of instances and probably cot toi will supplant llaiy other ipro uets so long as it remains at. the prselt low price level, but wheni the mnk'et again becomes normal and cotton becomes more expenisive than jute.e then it may be exlected that millers and others will return to wood and jute. Attention has been directed to the fact that the gov ernment is now using cotton twine instead of jute, but it will be noted that the contract price for the inufacured twine was less per pound than the raw material was bringing at this season last year. With prices in favor of cotton, the Amer ven Ima nfit tactuIm- of good judgmient will use cotton instead of jute, but wI ini cileaper heI will Iuse jute.

Thousands of cotton producers are face to .face with the problem of hav Ing to plant something iI the place of cotton with a chanco of selling the new crop at a profit or using it at home to advantage. About September 1, when it became apparent that. the war in Mtirope was to be of some duration, W. W. Lonj Slate agent and director of exten sion in South Carolina for the United States department of agriculture in co-operation with Clemson college, 'in dertook to centre the attention of the farmers of the Palmetto State oil the growing of grain and other crops in place of cotton. Tits canipaign of education in diversification is still be iinte carrited on by 'Mr. Long antd his P.11rm11 demiionist ra tors. His oilee has d istributed nearliy 300,000 ircutlars in South Carolina, giving detailed di rections about the p!antilng and cul tivaItioni of grain crops. Mr. Long has advised South Cairo ina cotton producers to concentrite this winter on oats and wheat. Tle termi'ier graini enn be prodleed to ex cellent advantage inl the 'Pedimont as welI as on tihle coastal plain'. The lal ter grain is hetter adapted to the Piletsvetions of th1e St."ate thanl to the1 co'staLil ion. lyt is alnoth er simall grain that many farie's in South Carolina will plant. this winter. Oats are sown in this State from August to March, but the fall sown crop yields better than that of mid winter and spring. The crop may be harvested for -rain or cut for hay. Oats planted in the fall are ready for harvesting in May or .)line. This grain may be sown in cotton by using a one horse drill just behind the cotton pick era, this being one of the most satis factory and least expensive methods of seeding. The cotton stalks can be cut down later in the winter, so that they will not interfere with the ieap er and binder in harvest time. Mr. Lcng thinks that where oats follow corn or a hay crop, such as cow peas or sorphumi, the land shouild be plow ed and tile oats drilled inl, though tile seeds ilay be sown and disked in. Oat,, planted with I drill ate not so likely to be killed In winter as those sown broadcast. Mlr. 1.ong h11- r0cOMommeded thlie Fulghini and Atpler varieties of oats for seeding. One( and one0 half bush1 els of see( to tle acre are generaliy planted and give good results, al though more or less nLy be used. As a rtile, the richer the land the lighter the oats should be seeded. Less seed are retitIred when a drill is used.

Oats cati be pr'oduced in every type of soil found in the State, bitt whleait tins a decided preference for heavy oamns and clay soils. Speaking gen orally, yields of .wheat are muich larger in thle hilly and~ moiuntainouis sections. Accordingly Mr,. Long tins recoin tmendited that wheat as a market cr01) be attempited otnly in the Pledmot andi that farmers in tuhe coastal pilatin plant just enough fot' homie consunmp tion. WVheat.

Illuestemn, Puirple Sti'aw, lied May, Fultz and Fulcastetr are the va rieties irecommended to farnei's in the0 Souitheast. In this section wheat should lbe fort ilized with a mixture of 500 pounids to the acr'e of equal parts of cottonseedl meal andl acd phiosphate, fol lowving in March by a totp driesning wvith 100 to 150 l)ounds~ of it rate of soda. Tfhe average yieldl of wheat ani acre in thle lnited Staltes is 141 bush el. Thiie ave rage in thie Southieastern cot ton Stat es falls below the average foi' the cotunt ry, butt a yilid of 20 bushels to the acre in the Southeast is not itiunusul. With whleat selling at wari pri'c(es, ther'e is a chance for making it a money crop in the Piedmont sections of the Southeastern cotton States. Figiures in the South Carolina depat. mient of agr'icult.ure show that $20. 000.000 worth of flour was imnorted into the State in 1913. If the cotton planters succeed in raising only enough wheat to supply the home de mand In 1915, it will be a large ac com plish1ment. None of the Southeastern cotton States produces enough oats for its own use. South Carolina alone Ini Ported $2,000,000 worth of this grain in t 1913.-The State. NO DIFFERENCE.

No announcement has been mnade concerning the amount of booty the al lies obtained through the surrender of Tsing-Tau, but it is ielievel the ('r mans destroyed everything iossible' before capitulating. When the siege be ganl there were in the port one Gler man cruiser, four gunboats and three destroyers, the Austrian cruiser Kias erin Elizabeth, live Germant merchant men and several prizes the Germans had taken. Of these vessels one de stroyer ran ashore -and was captured, and it is believed the Austrian cruiser was blown up. It is possible that the German ships met a similar fate. Great Britain is not satisfied that all has been told of the Pacific naval battle and continues to hope that the German cruisers Leipzig and 'Dreden, which engaged the Glasgow and which have not been reported since thi'e bat tie have been damaged.
