Committee Named to Appeur lief ore State Highway Commission. A matter of more than passing in? terest to Sumter's banking and mer? cantile concerns, and also of special interest to others, automobilists par? ticularly, will be the hearing on the matter of a crossing over the Santee ICiver, near Summerton, in Clarendon county, which hearing will he given before the State Highway Commission n Columbia, on next Wednesday, No? vember 28th. The Sumter Chamber of Commerce s anxious that this city be fully rep? resented before the Slate Highway Commission as the building of -the proposed Santee crossing at or near Sumrnerton would he of great bene it to Sumter s*ince it would greatly ?horten the route to Charleston Iron, his section of South Carolina by many miles, and would place Sumter m the direct highway from nil counties north and east of this city, o Charleston and all of that section >f the State lying west of the Santee j iver. In addition to these highly desir ihle highway connections the Sum nerton crossing will unquestionably ?rove to be a direct local benefit to his city, because it would open up lew territory contiguous to Sumter's msiness concerns and would bring tew trade to this city from sections if Orangeburg. Calhoun and Herke ey counties lying just beyond the iver. But of course, the Sumter Chamber ?f Commerce can do very little unless he buslneas men of Bumter show uffleient interest in this matter to go o Columbia and back up the Clare lY Ion county delegation. If our busi less men are indifferent about the pportunity to extend Sumter's trade erritory, and at Urn same time place! umter on an important inter-State , utomobile highway from north to outh "thereby furnishing short public < dghway travel for hundreds of north rn tourists to pass through Sumter, nd many to spend a while here, and I dvertising Sumter lit a very desirable i innner, why the Chamber of Com- < terC|e Will be at a great disadvantage, 'his is a matter in which tho business i neu and the bankers are vitally in- I created) as well as our real eetate eaters, and practically all other clt-r tens of sumter. To spend less than a day away rom business, at les* cost than three ollars to help the Chamber of Com lerce and the Clarendon county dei- i ?galion land an im pot rant trade rawing river crossing for Sumter nuttty is a very little thing for a umber of Sumter's business men to o for their own interest. President A. C. Phelps. of the 'hambcr has appointed a delegation ?f Sumter's business men to go to Co limbia on November 28th for this urpose. But the hearing is open to 11 interested citizens, and the delega lon appointed, or a majority of them nay go or they may fail to go he ause pant experience has demonstrat d that delegations are an uncertain uantity because it frequently hap ens thr.t the delegates appointed I an not go for good reasons.

With Food Administrator Herbert Hoover approving recipes for prepar? ing soy-hean fritters, croquettes and soy-bean loaf; with cottonseed-oil mills crushing soy-bean seed for oil, and with Southern agricultural mis? sionaries prescribing ihe plaot as adapted to even a sickly soil?these varying uses suggest a widening fu? ture for the soy-bean industry. As the largest soy-bean producing State in the United States, the North Caro? lina crop will probably exceed 3, 500,000 DUahela for the season of 1917. The acreage devoted to this crop is 20 per cent, in excess of the acreage for litlti. Dr. C. 11. Williams, chief of the division of agronomy of the North Carolina Department of Agi i culture, and an international author? ity on the subject, notes a marked in? terest in soy-bean culture throughout the South. The stimulus in growing the bean for commercial purposes* has been particularly keen in South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Geor? gia, Louisiana and Texas. The pos? sibilities of this crop, as guaranteed by the results achieved in the Tar Heel State. have attracted other Southern States to the industry. But the demand for the product far exceeds the supply, and conse? quently foreign countries are being Irufted upon for wholesale Importa? tions.' Notably, the oil mills of Fast rrf North Carolina imported a cargo >f 200,000 bushels recently from Manchuria for the purpose of convert ng the heans into oil. A single mill r rushed 106,000 bushels of this car fO( and four other factories are crush nj; the products from ( this foreign hipment just now. The soy-hean harvester, an inven ion of North Carolina farmers, is SJB nValuable contribution to the Growth ?f the industry. The North Caro ina Extension Service is author of B ullotin just issued descriptive o. hese harvesting devices. These ma hlnes thrash the beans from tin ,'inos as they stand In the Heids. Th ime-saving attachment on this ma ?nine is tho beater, which thrashot he beans from the standing stalks. Five types of harvesters are m; n ifactttred In North Carolina, and h ?eaters on these mac hines have vary ng numbers of lingers. Some of tfp lieatera revolve parallel \o the row vhile others revolve at rtgM 51tgle? o the row. In the manufacture oi he harvesters some employ mowlni nachlneo, while others are mounted ?n cart wheels. The Pritchard harvester is the in ention of George F. Pritchard oi Elizabeth City. The machine weighs 1000 pounds, and is manufactured ir hree si/.*m. The hotly of the har? vester is S feet long and 4 I Inchs vide. The !.eater Is ehatn-dYfven ind revolves across the rows. This ype of harvester retails for $135.. Agronomist W. F. Pate, compiler of he bulletin on soy-bean harvesters ays: "During the past few years the rOWth of the soy beans in North Car dina for hay. pasturage, soil Intprov nn and seed purposes has increased ?cry rapidly. This has been true be? cause of the;r high food and fertiliz ng value; their adoption in rotations tracttced in North Carolina, and tin avorable climate and soil condition .enerally found throughout the state >ne of the lust problem! in be work ?d on after the soy-bean growing lad well begun was that of dlvislng aachlnes suitable for harvesting tin teed cheaply and rapidly." Of th? North Carolina yield of soy leans for Ivlg, 111,000 bushels were told to canners for canned products, ir. Williams states; "A number of th< anned products In which soy beans entered have been tried by us, and \e have found them very palatable. ind, of course, highly nutritious. ' in lulrles about the culture of the bean 'or the past two yours have been di ?ected tti the North Carolina Depart acut of Agriculture from practically rvery state in the United states, from 'anada and from many foreign coun ries. , The department induced the Urs; ril mill to convert the soy beano Into ?11 In 1915.
