Wilson's Proclamation In Behalf of Et|M>Hltion. Washington. July 2.?President Wilson's proclamation bespeaking Na? tional government Interests In the ex pggOjgfg t" cotnmemnntt' fifty \ oars' Sjg|S)svonientH of the negro race, which la to open at Richmond. Va., next week, was Issued from the White House today. It Is as follows: "A national exposition in commem? oration of th? achievements of the negro race during the last fifty years will be held in Richmond, Vh., July I to II. 1911. The occasion h .s been recognised aa of national Importance by congress through an appropriation of $1,000 to sld In its promotion and consummation. This sum is being ex? pended, by the terms of the appropria? tion under the direction of the gov? ernor of Virginia. I he exposition is under the sus? pire* of gag fjfegro Historical ami In? dustrial Association. The action of congress In this matter Indicates very happily the desires of the nation as well aa of the people of Virginia to encourage the negro in his efforts to solve his Industrial problem. "The National Negro Exposition is designed to demonstrate his progress In tBe last fifty years and to empha? sise his opportunities As president of the t'nlted Httaes 1 bespeak the ac? tive interest of the nation In the ex? position and trust that every facility will be extended to the leaders, whose earnest work has made the undortaK ing possible." s s s The proclamation bears the date of July 1. the seal of the government, arid the signature of the president. < unit* I iiihK for Breitling Stock. The Commissioners of Lauren? County, Georgia, have the unique dis? tinction of having Inaugurated a live? stock breeding enterprise. The initial step was taken when a purebred stal? lion of the Percheron type was pur eheeed, under the advice of the State College of Agriculture, for the sum of lift. This stallion is to be used for the benefit of the farmers of the county. Later on the commissioners plan to Introduce other pure-bred ani? mals. The commissioners have been led to take this step by public-spirited citizens of the county, who were en? couraged by authorities of the Col? lege of Agriculture. Arguments ad? vanced in its favor were that bet? tor pulling horses were as much needed as good rouds, and that money put into a pure-brel stallion would prove a growing Investment, the colts produced In three or four years creating a source of tux rev . fir exceeding the original outlay, not to mention the enlarged profits of farming coming from better draft stock. other counties In Georgia are be? ing pressed to take similar action, and the example of Uiurens will doubtless prove effective in inducing otb> ? ? The fact that the last census showed only about one colt raised in Oeorglu for e\er> l'>0 farmers, and that *hllc the State can raise its work, stock it Is spending about $1.MSi).000 a month for purchasing it. Indicutrs. of course, the necessity for1 extarodinary steps to Inaugurated colt raising. Marked progress Is ? elng made in various parts of the State in this di? rection, and if present pfejOJtSjgsj keeps up, Georgia will have a most phe? nomenal record of increase ot colts st the end of the present census, decade.

In carrying out its plan the board has appointed a committee with W. P. O. Harding as chairman to exam? ine into conditions and determine the best way to take care of the coming crop. Mr. Harding has written a letter to the federal reserve agent of each of the four Southern federal reserve banks asking for information and e> pressing the belief that under present conditions, with large surplus reserves in the banks, there is every reason to t xpeet that the next crop can be taken care of without difficulty. He also noted that the domestic demand for cotton is increasing. Mr. ilardlng's letter follows: "The federal reserve board, realiz? ing tho possibility of a congestion of stocks of cotton this fall due to ab? normal conditions in our export trade, desires full information regarding the facilities in your district for ware? housing and financing tho cotton which would under ordinary condi? tions be exported. The board has, therefore, appointed a committee to consider the question and gather data on the subject. The board feels that in view of the large surplus reserves now held by the banks throughout the country, there should be no dif? ficulty, so far as the financial abil? ity of the country is concerned, in providing for necessary advances upon that part of the crop which will eventually Ik* shipped abroad. It ap? pears from data in hand that the demand for our domestic manufac? tures of cotton goods is increasing, and It seems to the board's com? mittee that there is no occasion what? ever for a depression in the price of raw cotton such as was experienced last fall. The committee believes that the cooperation of merchants and bankers will result In the proper handling of the crop. "In this connection attention is called to the estimate of the depart? ment of agriculture that the South now has a warehouse capaciy of 9,664,000 hales. If proper use is made of this capacity and of the loanable resources of the banks, inoluding both members and nonmembers of the fed? eral reserve system, a gradual mar? keting of the crop will be entirely possible and any danger of a repeti? tion of last year's conditions will be averted. I "Tho writer, as chairman of the board's committee, would be glad to havo vour views on this subject, and is anxious to secure your cooperation in formulating plans to reassure and protect the farmers, merchants and others interested in our cotton grim? ing industry." t Pointers for Orcliard and Garden.

Clcmsim College, July 3.?In com? parison with any of the grain rations, oats are the best single grain ration for both mature horses and colts ami for mules. There is no other grain so safe to feed and from which such satisfactory results are obtained. The live stock experts of Clemson College advise, however, that it is absolutely necessary that oats be clean and en? tirely free from mold in order to ob? tain best results in feeding to colts. "Musty" oats are dangerous for colts A fair ..llowance of oats for colts after weaning is as follows: Up to one year of age, from 2 to 3 pounds dally. From one to two years, 4 to 5 pounds daily. From two to threo years, 7 to 8 pounds daily. The best way to feed oats is in the whole grain, the expense of crushing not being justified unless colts suffer in teething, in which case it is advis? able to feed steamed crushed oats, which are very nourishing and appe? tizing. It is always wise to feed plenty of roughage to growing colts. Feed? ing concentrated feeds in excesse is discouraged, as it is important that the digestive tract bo do\ eloped by distending it during the growing pe? riod. Ungainly, large-barreled colts may annoy the feeder, but this con? dition always disappears with ma? turity. THE COW AND IIEH PRODUCT. Ciemson College Weekly Notes for the Farmer ami Dairyman. (These notes are prepared by the Dairy Division of Clemson College, which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying.) It's silo-building time?right now. If you have ten or more cows, you need a silo. Clemson College is ready to aid farmers with their silo-building. Ask for help now. The market price of butter is gov? erned primarily by its quality. The quality of butter is governed by the quality of cream and the quality of cream by the care it receives on the farm. If you have five or more cows, you need a cream separator. There Is no other way of getting all the butterfat out of milk. A separator will soon pay for itself in the saving of butter fat. Too much care cannot be taken Ui washing the separator. The separator gathers impurities from the milk that passes through it and must be clean? ed thoroughly after using. A clean separator will skim more closely and will last longer than one that it not thoroughly washed after each separation. This is aside from the advantage of cleanliness, which is most important. Cool cream immediately after sepa? ration by setting the cream can in cold water. Cream is a highly per? ishable product. When it is warm germs will thrive in it and spoil it. The llrst essential for having clean milk is to keep clean, healthy cows. The dirt that falls from the cow into the milk cannot be entirely strained out. Do not feed roughage to cows until after milking. The dust from dry fodder and the odors from silage get into milk when roughage is fed before or during milking. HELP THE KIDNEYS.

Washington, July 2.?Quiet prevails at Cape Haitien and the Haitien gov? ernment is in undisputed control said a cablegram to the navy depart? ment today from Admiral Caperton, recently* sent to the island with the cruiser Washington to protect foreign interests. The admiral reported that marines landed by the French cruiser Des? cartes when foreigners were threat? ened two weeks ago as a result of the revolution had reembarked and he had not thought it necessary to land a force to replace them. President Sam's government, said today's report, controls all towns in the vicinity of Cape Haitien, and ap? parently the revolutionists have re? ceived a severe check. The Haitien situation has been dis? cussed by President Wilson with Sec rotary Lansing since the latest revolu? tion became sorioun and a change in the American policy towards the re? public has been considered. The landing of French marines during lighting which restored the city to the government forces drew attention sharply to the situation.
