How absurd it seems that this gov

254 warships and more money in it's
treasury than any nation has ever be-
fore possessed, should be helpless in
q fight against twelve Objectionable

Uncle Sam finds himself in much the

The Cinch bug is a disgusting little
beast, only q third of an inch long.
Originally it fed upon wild grass, but
when civilized man arrived and plant
ed wheat the cereal suited it's taste ex-
actly and it soon became what it is to-
day, the worst foe of the most priced
OF bread-producing crops. Itgets into
the funnel-shaped part of the leaf,
where it joins the's TX, and sucks the
sap until the plant dies. The bugs,
multiplying at rate almost i~noouceiv-
able, attack a wheat field in armies
which literally carpet the ground, and
when the wheat has been harvested
they fly to the autumnal corn.

Auto

California adds the latest edition Of
the auto brought to every day use. It
is o giant harvester and threshing ra.
chine combined, propelled by an auto
mobile with a,30-horse power engine.
It has a moving belt, four feet wide,
which conveys the grain-out from O
swath thirty-six feet wide-to be
threshed in the next part Of the great
machine. . Hero it is not only shelled,
but cleaned, and then put at once into
bags and sewed up as soon as each
dozen is filled.
This immense "labor saving farm
implement" weighs more than o hun
dred tons, is s~ixty.six feet in length,
and has q capacity of o hundred acres
Of grain daily. It requires four horses
to keep it supplied with fuel oil and
water for its boiler. Il travels ever
hills and at an average speed Of three
and one-half miles per hour. It's huge
wheels have tires four feet wide.
1t is q great curiosity in the region
where it is used and manufactured,
nea Oakland, the farmers coming
from points as far east as Kansas TO
see it work. The farmer will soon, az

Tobacco Acreage will be Extended.

The increase in the receipts Of the
privilege tax on fertilizers is due to
the marked increase in the acreage
planted in tobacco" said Judge j. f.
Lyon yesterday. AS the keeper Of
these records in the State Trcasurer's
Office Judge Lyon has been making
some Investigations, and he reports
that to be the result.
The planting Of tobacco requires q
high state eff cultivation.
"The receipts to date on tho sales
of fertilizers arc 1874, 918. 3O-more
than for the whole Of last year when
The tag tax amounted to $81, 744. 81.
The receipts up to March 10 last year
were SCI ,093. 05, or twenty thousand
dollars short Of che years receipts. 1
think VIC may say that there is yet o
lot Of privilege tax to be paid in,
judging by the way receipts came in
last year. II such be the case, the
tax this year will run close to $780,
600. The receipts in former years
have come in until late in April. The
bulk Of the years business is over by
the first Of May"
To each sack Of fertilizer sold with
in the State must be a tag indicating
that the State has been paid a tax of
20 cents on every ton of that fertil-
izer. The tag tax or privilege tax
never has exceeded the receipts Of Lest
year.
A farmer from the low country who
was here yesterday said that tho Gull
%tivation Of tobacco is being tried as an
experiment in some Of the counties in
the State which have ranked foremost
in the production Of other farm crops,
but have never taken to the new crop.
Marlboro and Urangeburg, the two
best known agricultural counties, will
experiment extensively. Adjoining
counties have found tobacco very prof
liable, but these counties preferred to
raise cotton.
Orangeburg is known to be the
ty with the largest number of inde-
pendent farmers Of ali the counties in
the United States, and M%arlboro's
planters have wrought from the soil
OF that county crops which have gone
down in the government records as
phenomenal.
In Richland, Colleton and other
counties the experiment is being made,
and it may be that a new era is ahead
for these counties. The attraction in
raising tobacco seems to be that it is
q money CROP" Last fall the COL
umns Of The State recorded many
items Of gratifying information from
the tchseSo-Taisins counties. While
it was yet summer the tobacco growers
were ~disposing Of their tobacco and
securing such prices that the crop
more than paid for itself. Those who
we're so fortunate az to have a good
cotton crop with which to follow the
tobacco were enabled to meet all obi.
cations without being under such @
strain as they would have suffered had
it not been for the possession Of the
tobacco crop money in the early fall.
Tobacco seems to be a fixture in
those counties where the experiments
were made first, and prosperity seems
&c have attended the progressive spirit
Of the farmers who believe in diversi-
fed farming. The reports from those
counties indicate that they are SO we'll
satisfied with tobacco that they are
increasing the number Of acres under
