Washington, D C, February 5:Food.feed and fertility are the four datten of safe farming, according t the United States Department o Agriculture. A circular sent t farmers,bankers and business men i cotton territory by the Chief of th Office of Extension Work in th South says- "Let us feed the pec pie, feed the live stock and feed th oil. When we have done these thre ' things. then raise such acreage i: money crops as we have the labor t B*k tend." bt The circular points out that tb true value of cotton to the farmer i tt> a great extent the amount of foo jmd feed that it will purchase. Th price of cotton has risen, it is true but so has the retail price of all oth er farm produce. "By growing a! cotton," says the author, "and ex changing it for a living you are sim * ply swapping a high-priced produc produced by your labor for a higH priced product produced by the Is bor of the other fellow.

Safe farming is defined in the circular as including these items: (1) A home garden for every l" family on the farm, from one-tenth 0 to one?fourth acre, well located, well ' tilled and tended as carefully as any 0 other crop on the farm, planted in D rotation to time the vegetable crops e so as to have a continual supply for e the family table as many days in the H year as possible. To this should be e added one-fourth of an acre of poe tatoes,either Irish or sweet or both, D to be used as food for the family. 0 (2) Enough corn on each farm to last the family and the live stock for e one year, with a little excess for 8 safety. ^ (3) Sufficient oats and other small e grains to supplement the corn as food for ope year with certainty. These small grains conserve the soil " in winter and provide summer grazing for live stock. l" (4) Hay and forage crops to * supply the live stock on the farm for one year, with *a little excess for l" safety.

First Report of Road Engineer S. W. Jennings. Mr S W .Ipnnincs whn hv arv pointment as road engineer of Williamsburg county succeeded *Mr J P Frierson in that capacity on January 1, on Tuesday submitted the following report and recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The report will give the citizens of the county some idea of what is being accomplished on roads and bridges, how the convicts are handled, etc. The report follows: To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners. Gentlemen:?I herewith submit to you for your consideration my report of the operations of the county gangs and expense of same. Work has been retarded somewhat for several reasons: (1) weather conditions extremely bad; (2) considerable sickness among: convicts; (3) the very nature of Boggy swamp has caused some delay in finishing causeway and bridging. I think it will require about 15 days to complete the road from J P Shaw's to Davis Tisdale's. Bridges in swamp have been completed except railing for same; 198 lineal feet required in swamp. About 3 other bridges will be required on road. I wish to state to you my reason for consolidating gangs 2 and 3. In the first place, No 3 cannot be operated with "trusties" (convicts) without totally disabling Nos 1 and 2, for it will require every "trusty" of Nos 1 and 2 to supply No 3 with , sufficient men to operate plow with ! dispatch. In the second place, to I hire force sufficient to operate No 3 proves so expensive that I cannot think it would be advisable to follow that plan. I refer you to the finan- ' cial standing of Indian township caused by hired gangs. . I find that the people want and mrmoront umrlr in thpir rp UVO^I ?V UIHMVM ? V1V?M .M .? spective townships for their road tax funds. I therefore recommend to you (as there is a certainty of 36 to 40 convicts on the county gangs for the next several years) that you authorize the purchase of one steel stockade, one wood cab, one wood kitchen and organize the third regular chaingang. Then one can be assigned to Mr Brown's townships for the entire time, one to Mr Fitch for anAotka anrt nna f<"v Mr Stns>lrAV ri^Ut UiUUVUO MIU vuv w tu? for esght months. Each will operate a road plow ? miles in any direction, making a radios of 15 miles around camp, a grand total of 45 miles, and convicts enough to make the work permanent. As the funds are not sufficient to maintain the chaingangs and hired gangs, both the foregoing plans really seem the best, since we already have enough mules and roai plows to operate an extra chaingang at little more per month than is now being paid. I recommend that you authorize the purchase of a shotgun and pistol for gang No 2, the fire arms there being badly out of order. You will notice in my report that 5 my expense for board of foremen, afe guards and convicts for the month the B85SQES539HEBEE sns :o, f?r ii) r8 Stai ju,' p ' g00^ the [Uii^KEl toif8^ i ~'JoL: * t0"il ' I?T'f^XiV S like Li 1 and, if farthei other i '"^TesSMWAf**5 J exactl; The Laziaue Goaraaiee: QU^ ^ If, after using the contents of a can, you are not satisfied gX) WTl n7 in every respect, your gro' r cer will refund your money. profit-! re.

I ask you to set a price consistent with the high cost of living, that I may be able to promote efficiency in a way that will # ' count for health, strength and endurance in this work. I ask you to designate my next location for chaingangs. In conclusion,I ask that you order all the tools belonging to the county delivered to chaingang or some other designated place.
