Odom: "It looked last Friday as if the warehouse system was to fall by j the wayside for lack of support. , ft was evident to everybody that , the $10,000, provided by the ways and means committee, was iot sufficient for the continued support of the system, except ! possibly i n connection with the income from the busi. 1 4- ~ - ? -1 uras, uuo mu w a y s a u u means committee, having spoken, the case seemed to be hopeless. Since the hostility of the ways and means committee was generally understood this was especially true. But from our Columbia correspondent it appears that victory has been matched from the jaws of defeat. "W. P. Odom of Chesterfield, chairman of the committee on agriculture, is not only a good farmer, and good business man; but it also appears that he is a legislator of no man resources, lie and others ou the committee are strong supporters of the warehouse, and when it came home to them the way Mr. Liles and his committee were doing, they look exactly the right steps to stop the steam roller, and met Mr Liles with a checkmate. It was the amendment of the agricultural committee and the per. sonal work of Mr. Odom and others that brought about the rather unusual "committee of the whole" meeting Friday morning. with au address from Mr. McLaurin. In spite of all the fair words that have been spoken for the warehouse system in different high quarters, the pit falls with which the undertaking has been harrassed have been numerous and daugerous and it has been taking a lot of able and ! energetic work to bring it through alive. Up to this time the friends of the system are still on top" SHALL WE PREPARE? The United States, with 100,000,000 people scattered over a territory of il.000,000 square miles, has 6 per cent of the i wnrlfl's lnnil :irp:i nnrl It npr nont. or thereabouts of the world's population, but it has about onequarter of the world's accumulated wealth. Never in human history was there a country of such vast wealth and such limitless resources for future development as is this country. Our vast wealth and our helplessness alike awaken the cupidity and the envy, and to some extent the enmity, of all mankind outside of the United States. This is perhaps the chief reason for believing that when peace is declared in Europe then our time will come. The nations now at war will soon be^in to look around for a source of wealth from which to replenish their exhausted resources. It is but natural that their lon^in^ eyes should turn toward the wealthiest nation on the earth, which at present is practically defenseless. Shall we take warning in time, and by following the leadership of President Wilson, prepare to defend ourselves, or shall we with indifference await the fate of Belgium and Serbia? Soine one asked the Louisville Post editor how he accounted for the fact that a certain woman who smoked, chewed tobacco and drank whiskey lived to be 150 years old. The editor said that's an easy one. It's a lie, that's all. In his speech at Milwaukee President Wilson said: "I pledge my word that OJod helping me I will keep this Nation out of war." It is a great thing to have levelheaded God-fearing man for President. The reason Acid Phosphate is )\gh this year is because nit/ic .tid, with which ground phos)hate rock is treated to make icid phosphate, is in great deuand by the munition manufacurers.

Onions may be grown In spring from seed or from sets. However, spring , planting of seed is not generally so satisfactory and sets are recommended for the man who neglected to plant in full and who wants early onions. For best results with seed, plant them in October, in order that the plants may become established before severe winter weather begins and that the onions may grow off rapidly in I ?snring and maturo early in Juno. * * Still, if seed are planted very early in spring and conditions are favorable, they will mako good oaions, although they will be smaller and later than those from fall-sown seed. Onions should be planted on very sandy loam. After the land has been q\ thoroughly prepared by deep plowing O. and repeated harrowing, apply fertilizer and manure broadcast and harrow into the first three or four inches > of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in , the drill, and cover the seed to a depth of one-half to three-fourths of an * inch. When the young seedlings ap pear, cultivate frequently in order to , destroy weeds and maintain moisture T'.iin out the onions so as to leave ; them standing three or four inches I apart in the row. To grow onions from sets, prepare and fertilise the land as when plant ing the seed and plant the sets just at ' soon in spring as soil conditions wil' permit. Plant them three to four inches apart in rows fifteen inches apart. White Pearl and Prizetaker are tin t two most reliable varieties for tills region. Sets are more convenient for tin home-gardener, but for a commercial _ onion planter, seed-planting is to be preferred, because onions grown from seed keep better than those grown W" " from sets and because seed cost less V Ihnn ftpts [t I C.

They wero on of almost the same weight and about k.0 the same quantity of food was needed ,ra to maintain their bodies. The diffornj? enco in their value, then, is due to the ft fact that, for some reason not apparjn. ently to the eye, Dolly could handle Ilfj more feed and was so constructed that Hjj she could return more milk per pound or of food eaten than could Eurotus. a|.
