DIVERSIFIED FARMING PROGRAM Rotations For Sand Hill and Pee Dee Sections Clemson College, Oct. 4.?To aid ; in the .work of the soil building; campaign through the use of cover ?crops and systematic rotations, the^ Extension Service is publishing Ex- j tension Circular 39, "Crop Rota- j tions for Piedmont Countries." and j Extension Circular 40, "Crop ro- j tations for Eastern and Southern j Counties." The rotations given inj these circulars are based upon < those published in Extension Bui- j *Win. 48, "Farming under Bollj Weevil Conditions," and are pre- \ pared for. the five groups of coun-j ties; namely, upper Piedmont, low-' er . Piedmont,- Sand Hill, Pee Deej and Southern Counties. ...

Almost it stakes one's breath to consider what a boon it Would be to the people of this country, if by common consent, all drivers of au tomobiles would give practical sup port to the Careful Crossing Camr paign. Hardly a day passes without our hearing about the inauguration of propaganda to remedy this?v that, or the other ill that is supposed to be a menace to public health, comfort, or morals. Every new wrinkle of this sort has its spon sors and adherents by scores and hundreds. The grade crossing horror, like the poor, is always with us, but the two glaring faults of thought lessnesses and recklessness, which are the contributing causes of these catastrophes, are not meet> ing with- the general public con demnation that, would surely elimr inate them. To be sure, .we have, at the pres ent time, a nation-wide campaign for careful driving at railroad crossings. Safety bureaus of rail roads, chambers of commerce, sup ported by numerous other agen cies, of a -semi-public nature, are listed in the good work, but there is still lacking the support of that greatest force, the power of public opinion. And so unfortunately, the less of j life and the maiming of limbs, due! almost wholly to forgetfulness of danger, continues almost uncheck ed. It .is. a sobering thought that the remedy is so simple.as to be quite overlooked. A man of our ac quaintance who -has spent many hours observing the methods of motor car drivers at grade cross ings, declares that he has noticed an apathetic disregard of rudimen tary safety precautions. Hosts of drivers- approach .rail road crossings with no apparent thought of possible danger. This is not due to ignorance, but for getfulness: another remedy of what Franklin said, that "More mischief is caused , by kwsk of care than, by lack of knowledge-" ' Public opinion is against change-) taking at crossings, what we need j now. is a cryingr one. is for the j people of the nation to speak in j terms of strongest condemnation of! everj- act of carelessness that con- j tributes to the already over bur-! dened .list of crossing fatalities.. j Your, voice is an integral part of! the voice uf the people: so why] not speak right right out in no uncertain^ word:- and join in . a pro- i test which shall be so universal as to prove irresistible? ? f ? i "The man who has done no evil: doesn't sympathise." says a clergy man.

The marriage Who Should Go to College? ? (New York Globe"). George Moore, the Irish novelist j and the master of a delightful Eng- j lieh style, voices the conservative ; dislike of universal education in an j article published by the current] Atlantic Monthly. The beguiling ] writer turns his -irony against H. A. j L. Fisher, .the British minister of j education, because universal school- j ing has been preached by this of- j ficial. Mr. Moore wonders who will j do the drudgery of the world if | every boy and girl is to be given, .a I higher education. The question is real, but the im- j plications which the tory Irishman | offers are fundamentally false.. He suggests, although he is care- j ful not to be. too frank in his ex-j pressions that_the children of the j privileged classes should . be sent j to the schools and colleges, while j the offspring of the working class- j es should be taught to begrudges, j At the opening session of Dart- j mouth College yesterday President j Ernest M. Hopkins grappled with i the same problem. The Dartmouth ? executive believes that college is j for the few rather than for all. But j in contrast to George Moore, he j would select, candidates by. demo- \ cratic methods. Thus he said: . I "The opportunity tor securing j an education by way of the college course is definitely a privilege and j not at all. a universal right. A j working theory that.will co-operate I to define the individuals to whom ! in justice to the publci good the j privilege should be extended and ; to specifiy those from ,whom it j should be withheld is essential." President Hopkins opposes wast- i ing the time of boys who are in? ! capable of profiting by a sojourn in. i the colleges, and at the same time j he would enable the colleges to do j better v.-ork by removing the lag- ? gards- Money should not. in his judgment, be a test. Funds ought \ to be provided publicly or private- j ly so that thoie susceptible to] higher education may have its! benefits.' i This is a position which can bo! defended both on the grounds of I democracy and. of educational..sei-' ence. Because ?o many sons of the! rich are sent to coiiege regardless) of their.qualifications, higher edu j cation in many places tends, to as sume the form of a country club, j Obviously, this means the frustra-j tion of intellectual life. The.sqluri don will probably be found in the rigprous maintenance of standards j of performance and in the develop ment of funds which will enable; the fit child of poor parents to ob- i tain an education.

Introducing Pure.

"Mexico is-a potential, market for American,farm machinery, but in the matter of tractors there is an anomaly," said Mr. Abbott. "There are a number of tractors in Mex ico?Pancho Villa has two?but it is costly to operate them. This is because the price of gasoline is so high. With the greatest oil fields in the world, Mexico is without re fineries and gasoline is imported. "Government officials pledged that custom house difficulties at the border would be eliminated and freight rate reduced ^on all pure breds coming in under the guar antee of fhe registry association.
