The prices are not in proportion to that of cu?e?*meat, which is^ from 15 to 20 cents per pound. It seems that he farmer can't or will not control the Priceg of his produce. And why not? Because we will not organize,' and If weop; we will not abide by the re? quirements of the organization.

Of last year's Junior, Jsopohomore and freshman clases, the largest' perceMuge' oT old^slVAnWlHll hae ever returned. The fact that it took only about 4 0 minutes to matric? ulate these students/who- had to pass through the offices of the treasurer, the commandant and the registrar, shows the efficiency of these offices. Over 300 new students will report next weel? and more than 40 one-year agricultural students will report early In October, running the total to more than 800. The- opening exercises were feat? ured by a short practical address from President Riggs, in which he stressed the fact that the old students fixed the standards and set the ideals of the new men and plead for highest ideals and standards. In the course ?f his remarks he ' said that the cadets had Woodrow Wilson to thank for the fact that they were here Inste?d of fight? ing the Mexicans, because he l.ad kept this country out of war. The regular class work will begin tomorrow. All of the members of the faculty are at their posts and all seem ready for a good year's work. The ministers, T. Y. McCaul, J. M. Steadman, W. H.

The loss Is one hundred thousand dollars. Wants Santee Crossing. The Herald wouud like to suggest a meeting of the Orangeburg and Clar? endon delegations and the two super Uieore-elect to consider operating a fiat across the Santee as a toll busi? ness. It is perfectly apparent, we think, that there should be a passage to Charleston from this territory. We suggeBt a tlat wltb a cable because the cost of the bridge would be too great and would have to be renewed every time the Santee got on a swell. The toll would cover the cost of operation as it would be worth a dollar to eroMs, with toll rated by tonnage.? Manning Herald. NEW EUROPEAN MANAGER. W. W.

CROP ROTATION INCREASES FER? TILITY. Why the One-Crop System is Unsafe. Clemson College, Sept. 20.?Crop * ? , ? i rotation is the foundation on which permanent agriculture is built. Be? low are six reason why the one-crop system is unsafe and why the farmer should abandon this for more up-to date methods: First?Because the system depends upon the market and crop conditions of the one crop alone. Failure of crop or failure of market alike bring serious disaster. Second?Because it does not pro? vide for the maintenance of soil fer? tility. Third?Because it fails to provide a sufficient livestock industry to con? sume the waste products of the farm and make its waste lands pro? ductive. Fourth?Because it does not pro? vide for a system of farm manage? ment under which labor, teams and tools may be used to the fullest ad? vantage. Fifth?Because it brings returns in cash but onCO a year instead of turning the money over more than once a year. Sixth?Becajse it does not pro? duce the necessary foods to supply the people upon the farm and keep them in health and strength. BRITISli AGENTS INTERFERE.
