SELECTED SEEDS ARE BEST. I I Clean, Healthy Wheat Seed Essential . to Large Yield. 2 Washington, D C, August 28:? f Sound, clean, healthy seed is the i ? first requisite for the largely in-' j creased wheat crop which the united States department of argicul- r ture hopes to see harvested next * year. Whatever the source of supply farmers will find it to their ad- ^ vantage, says the department, to t see that only good seed is planted. What has been said is equaiiy true r of seed for the rye crop which the s department hopes to see much larger v than usual next year. t If a farmer has seed from his own i ernn which is satisfactory so far as \ variety and general condition are t concerned, he should lose no time in i getting it into shape for storage un- v til planting time. The fanning mill r is the farmer's best friend in this 1 task. The farmer, by all means should have such a mill and if he 1 has not and is unable to obtain one, t should borrow or rent his neighbor's f mill, or several farmers can join in buying one. A fanning mill re- c moves weed seeds, smut and shrivel- c ed grain,leaving only plump kernels, c practically every one of which may c be depended upon to produce a c thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, c however, the seed should be treated s in order that the smut may be pre- i vented. Scab is less likely to be r ? "- "J K" iiaiu) tpoafmpnt hilt, f pievcuicu uj a?u v. the use of the fanning mill will as- 1: sist materially in improving the crop grown from seed known to c have contained scabby kernels. 1 If the farmer is dependent on out- r side sources for his seed he should i buy from his neighbor if possible so 1 that he ma\ be more likely to get e seed adapted to his conditions. It s is advisable to buy as soon after r harvest as possible as at this time b prices 8re likely to be lowest. If ( the farmer deiays, his neighbors \ may dispose of all their surplus grain i and he may be forced to plant seed ' grown under conditions radically ' different from his own. If the farm- fl pr natronizes a seedsman he should | insist on getting seed grown as near his section as possible. If seed is affected by diseases, careful inspection will usually disclose the fact. The presence of stinking smut in wheat is indicated by the odor and the presence of scab by the appearance of the kernels. Purchased seed should, of course, be cleaned and treated for the destruction of the spores of disease producing fungi, if the examination shows this to be necessary. In choosing varieties of wheat the farmer should be guided by the experiences of his neighbors and the advice of his State experiment sta rrL:- '? olon nf rV0 hilt. L1UH. X [110 IB UUC aigv vm. .jvt there are available fewer varieties of rye than of wheat. The stations can furnish comparative statistics on the yields and behayior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. After the grain farmer has procured a supply of satisfactory seed he should store it carefully so that it will keep in good condition and will be safe from the depredations of rats, mice and insects. Bins that are supposedly proof against rats are available on practically all farms and it will pay farmers to* see that they are kept in good condition to keep out the rodents.

In connection with this general eference to Governors' sons in the service, The Index wishes to say that vhile on occasion it has criticised he judgment of Governor Manning n some of his official acts, as to his )atriotism and that of his family here can be no question. And this s something which the Governor, vith the excellent taste of a gentlenan, does not use as a political >oost. The people of the State genially, we believe, do not really mow the facts and without his knowledge this plain statement of acts, in justice to him, is presented. He has had four sons to volunteer lespite initial sacrifices and all accepted for the active service of their country in this struggle to preserve >ur lives and liberties from the merciless hand of the the Kaiser. Many >fficials have a son in the service, lome two, a few three, but perhaps 10 other high official has offered so nany sons to the country as Gov rnor Manning with four sons now lehind the colors. When the trouble with Mexico ame, William S Manning, oldest iving son of Governor and Mrs Manling, was earning his living as Washington correspondent of a New fork newspaper. Though depend- j ?nt entirely on his salary for the! iupport of himself and family, he! eturned at once to his native State i md enlisted as a private with the Charleston Light Dragoons at a vage about one twelfth his Washington salary. He served on the Mexican border in that capacity. Piam V grand?Steinway, man, Stodart, Lal Victrol We will sell yoi our special repres on you and go fur Sieg-lin Established 1819CHARLESTON, Represented When this clash with Germany came,1 William Manning, above the age of the draft, applied for admission to the Officers' Training Camp. After training at Fort Meyer. Va. he was designated by the government a few days ago to enter on special training at Cambridge, Mass, for trench warfare. Another married son of the Governor, Bernard Manning, resigned a respuxisiuie biju luiiauvc puaiuuu as cashier of a bank and entered the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe. A few days ago this young father returned on furlough to his wife to bury their only child. This patriotic young Carolinian, having earned the honor of being one of the two men selected out of his com-; pany for the position of instructor1 in the second training camp, returns shortly to assume that responsibility. Wyndham M Manning, a graduate of West Point, married and the father of two children, was Captain of the Charleston Light Dragoons when troops were needed in Mexico. He served on the border till March,when 1 he brought his troop home. In the be-. ginning of this war with Germany,! Capt Manning was stationed as captain in the Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe. As if the father, with his duties as war Governor, and Mrs Manning, active among the women of South Carolina, in preparing the State for the strain of war, were not doing enough, still another son offered his life. This boy, Burwell Manning, two years below the requirements of the draft, left college to become a private in the Charleston Light Dragoons.
