POW, FEED AND FERTILITY.

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

produced by your labor for a higH

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. The legumes, which add feru
tility to the soil and produce the best
u hay, should not be forgotten,
t (5) The necessary milk, eggs and

OUR COUNTY HIGHWAYS.
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

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

unlikely the number may reach 100.
